Anybody else who loves this film? I saw it last week for the first time and I loved it so much! I couldn't stop crying and thinking about it.

I saw it ages ago!

I just watched "Inside The Actors' Studio With Robin Williams" last night, and they talked about it, and all I could think about was this movie!

Gah! I loved it SO much when I saw it, and I still do! I pretty have had the same reaction as you, FF, every time I've seen it! XD

Man, now I need to see it again! I think I'm going to the movie store tonight to rent it! XD

Oh, and Robert Sean Leonard = LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! XD

You just said it You don't get away from it once you've seen it. Today at school, everything I could think about was DPS. I'm so sad about how the whole story turns out. I hate Neil's father! It's a shame that there can be parents like that.

I second what you said about Robert Sean Leonard, he's my absolute fav (did I mention I have a crush on Neil Perry? anyway...) but young Ethan Hawke isn't bad as well. I love his character and how he changes in Welton to be brave and stand for the things he believes in. Wow, it's so beautiful.
And I wish I had a teacher like Keating!!

I saw this movie for the first time about 10 years ago at school (and have watched it a gazillion times since then). It inspired me like no other movie out there. All teachers should be like Keating!

I saw this movie recently in health class. I was very inspiried, and I loved the character of Mr. Keating. Somehow, though, I didn't think that Neil's conflict had the depth needed to end how it did. For being such a happy, optimistic person, it was a sudden and quick change to result in the way that it did. I wish that he had been able to hold on to hope and realize that he had the rest of his life ahead of him after school.
All the same, I really loved this movie. The way Mr. Keating encourages the class to think and feel throughout life was so moving. I have thought the same things in my own high school where analytical, yes-or-no questions and annotating (*dies*) have become the order of the day. Even when Mr. Keating began describing how to rate poetry on a graph, I didn't think it was that far-fetched. I was so overjoyed when he told his students to rip it out! His methods of teaching, from poetry to standing atop desks, remind me about how life isn't always about facts or figures and can't be described in 'logical' terms.

Thank you for five-plus wonderful years of obsession, friendship and fun

I'm incredibly sad, too, that he did it, but I don't think it doesn't fit his character or that it was an unexpected turn. He is a happy and optimistic person, but at the same time he's very intuitive and emotional. I can imagine that he was so passionate about the whole acting thing that he just saw no other way. Of course I would have him hold on to hope, too, and I see your point, but if you consider how he was brought up - always having to obey - I understand that he felt he could not stand up against his father.
But this doesn't say I like the ending. I'm just so sad for him. But I think it makes the movie quite more realistic than if there had been a happy ending.



You're soo right! I wish I had a "Mr Keating" at school...
