Dead Poets Society

In 1959, in the new school year at Welton Academy, a boarding school in Vermont, English teacher John Keating (Robin Williams), an alumnus of the school, arrives as a new teacher. Keating tries to teach the students, who are bound by strict rules, the beauty of life, telling them to ``tear up that Pritchard textbook.'' At first, the students are perplexed by Keating's unusual classes, but they gradually become inspired to take action and discover fresh ideas and a free way of life unconstrained by rules or parental expectations. Those who fall in love, those who awaken to acting... Just when it seemed like everyone was starting to go their separate ways, an incident occurred.
