Dead Poets Society
John Keating
On the first day of classes, they are surprised by the unorthodox teaching methods of their new English teacher, Welton alumnus John Keating who encourages his students to "make your lives extraordinary", a sentiment he summarizes with the Latin expression carpe diem ("seize the day"). In subsequent(随后的) lessons, he stands on his desk to teach the
The students
In 1959, shy Todd Anderson begins his senior year of high school at Welton Academy. He is assigned one of Welton's most promising students, Neil Perry as his roommate and is quickly accepted by Neil's friends: calm Knox Overstreet, overachiever Richard Cameron, best friends Steven Meeks and Gerard Pitts, and beatnik Charlie Dalton.
Restarts the club
Upon learning that Keating was a member of the unsanctioned group the Dead Poets' Society while he was at Welton, Neil restarts the club and he and his friends sneak off campus at night to a cave where they read poetry and verse, including their own compositions. As the school year progresses, Keating's lessons and their involvement with the club encourage them to live their lives on their own terms. Knox pursues Chris, a girl who is dating a football player and whose family is friends with his.

1. Walt WhitmanO Captain! My Captain! (Abraham Lincoln)O Me! O Life!O me! O life! of the questions of these recurring,Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill'd with the foolish,Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I,and who more faithless?)Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of thestruggle ever renew'd,Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I seearound me,Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,The question, O me! so sad, recurring--What good amid these, O me, O life?Answer.That you are here--that life exists and identity,That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verseSong of MyselfI sound my barbaric yawp / over the rooftops of the world\A Song of JoysOh, to struggle against great odds, to meet enemies undaunted.To be a sailor of the world bound for all ports.Oh, I live to be the ruler of life, not a slave.To mount the scaffolds. To advance to the muzzles of guns with perfect nonchalance.To dance, clap hands, exalt, shout, skip, roll on, float on!Oh, to have life henceforth, the poem of new joysTo indeed be a god!2. Robert HerrickTo the Virgins to Make Much of TimeCarpe diem : seize the day3. TennysonShow me the heart unfettered by foolish dreams, and I’ll show you a happy man.4.But only in their dreams can men be truly free. Twas always thus, and always thus will be. Keating Tennyson5. Henry David ThoreauThe Dead Poets were dedicated to sucking the marrow out of life.An Excerpt from WaldenI went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life. To put to rout all that was not life. And not, when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived.Most men lead lives of quiet desperation.6. Raymond CalvertThe Ballad of William BloatIn a mean abode in the Shanking Road, lived a man named William Bloat. Now, he had a wife, the plague of his life, who continually got his goat. And one day at dawn, with her nightshift on, he slit her bloody throat.7. Alfred Lord TennysonUlyssesCome, my friends. Tis not too late to seek a newer world. For my purpose holds to sail beyond the sunset. And though we are not now that strength/ which in old days moved Earth and heaven. That which we are, we are: one equal temper of heroic heart/made weak by time and fate, but strong in will: to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield8. Vachel LindsayThe CongoThen I had religion, then I had a vision. I could not turn from their revel in derision. Then I saw the Congo creeping through the black/ cutting through the forest with a golden track.9. William ShakespeareTitus AndronicusMacbethA Midsummer Night’s DreamSonnet 18Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate.17.Robert FrostThe Road Not TakenTwo roads diverged in the wood and I… I took the one less traveled by.And that has made all the difference.18. ByronShe Walks in BeautyShe walks in beauty, like the nightOf cloudless climes and starry skies;And all that's best of dark and brightMeet in her aspect and her eyes:Thus mellow'd to that tender lightWhich heaven to gaudy day denies.One shade the more, one ray the less,Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress,Or softly lightens o'er her face;Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,The smiles that win, the tints that glow,But tell of days in goodness spent,A mind at peace with all below,A heart whose love is innocent!19. Cowley UlyssesThe ProphetTeach me to Love? go teach thyself more wit;I chief Professor am of it....The God of Love, if such a thing there be,May learn to love from Me.He who does boast that he has beenIn every Heart since Adamòs sin,I’ll lay my Life, nay Mistress on’t that’s more;I teach him thing he never knew before;。

Dead poets societyI went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately ...I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life!To put to rout all that was not life...And not when I came to die, discover that I had not lived...我步入丛林因为我希望活得有意义 ...我希望活得深刻汲取生命所有的精髓!把非生命的一切全都击溃 ...以免在我生命终结时，发现自己从来没有活过 ...We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human pace is filled with passion.And medicine, law, business, engineering,these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.But poetry, beauty，romance, love, these are what we stay alive for．我们读诗写诗，非为它的灵巧．我们读诗写诗，因为我们是人类的一员．而人类充满了热情．医药，法律，商业，工程，这些都是高贵的理想，并且是维生的必需条件．但是诗，美，浪漫，爱，这些才是我们生存的原因．Just when you think you know something,you have to look at it in another way.当你认为你知道某件事时必须再以不同角度看它Even though it may seem sillyor wrong, you must try!即使那看来似乎愚笨或错误你们都必须试试Now, when you read, don't just considerwhat the author thinks...consider what you think.当你阅读时别只想到作者的见解想想你的见解Boys, you must strive to findyour own voice.孩子们，你们必须…努力寻找自己的声音Because the longer you wait to begin,the less likely you areto find it at all.因为你等候起步的时间愈长便愈不可能找到它Thoreau sa id, “Most men lead livesof quiet desperation.”梭罗说“大多数人都生活在平静的绝望中”Don't be resigned to that.Break out!别听任此事发生要突破！Come my friend，till it's not too late to seek a newer world.From my purpose hold to be the other side of sunset.And though we are not now that strengthwhich as old days moved earth and heaven. That which we are we are,one equal temper of heroic hearts.Maybe weak by time and fate, but strong is will,to strive, to seek,to find,and not to yield.来吧，我的朋友，寻找更新的世界尚为时不晚。

死亡诗社观后感Dead Poet Society
Dead Poet SocietyDead Poet Society is a penny from the heaven to me, for solely judging from the name, it definitely is not my cup of tea. I cannot imagine that I have anything to with death as well as poem, because these two things are really far from my life. Nevertheless, this film has given me another totally unusual and unforgettable impression.Dead Poet Society is a unique and confidential association, organized by several students of Melton preparatory school. Melton school has a high enrolment rate of Ivy League and good reputation, but meanwhile it is rigid and conventional, which perceives tradition, honor, discipline, excellence as its four pillars. Teachers are staid, classrooms are starchy, and students are supposed to focus themselves on their school work; therefore, when students shut the dorm’s door, they have redefined four pillars: hypocrisy, horror, decadence, excrement.When one of the former members of Dead Poet Society, John Keating, courteously shows up on the opening ceremony, he is deemed to bringing vibrancy to the repressive students. Mr. Keating drags the boys out of the classroom, and shows them some photosof past great poets. Such an unorthodox approach succeeds in attracting the boy s’attention, and then he quotes ‘Carpe Diem. Seize the day. ’Now I know ‘Carpe Diem’is a heavily cited cliché, but when my teacher picked it out to ask me and my classmates about the meaning, we were in a frightening silence because none of us knew this old saying. Fortunately, I know it represents for Mr. Keating’s genuine wish and expectation from this film. He wants the boys to seize the every single day, go for the unknown, and make lives extraordinary. What impress me most are Mr. Keating’s unconventional teaching approaches, ripping out the worthless preface of the book, standing on the desk to elucidate how to look at the world in another perspective, and marching in the court to illustrate the importance of being unique.Every scene of Mr. Keating’s class just puts me back to the most tiresome and dreary life in the high school. At that period of time, intense teachers taught literally, stressful students learned passively, which were very much like the creatures in traditional Welton. No one told us to make things differently, no one told us to reach for the fresh, no one told us to seize the day; all we did wasto make a great preparation to the College Entrance Examination. Learning English was an evident example. Listening, speaking, reading, and writing, every piece of them is an imperative step of learning English. However, in high school, we learned to listen carefully, read efficiently, write logically, but we’ve never given chances to speak oral English. What a pity Mr. Keating have n’t been teaching in my school!As the movie continues, the boys are gradually changing. Neil is a charming, intelligent student in Welton, and an obedient, hopeful son in his family. He has followed his father’s well-arranged track without any complaining, until he rebuilds Dead Poet Society which dedicated to suck all the marrow of the life according to Mr. Keating’s explanation. Poem maybe arouses his dreams hidden in the bottom of his heart, so Neil participates in a play to release his suppressed passion of acting. Todd, an introvert, diffident boy, is afraid of speaking loud in front of the whole class. Mr. Keating inspires this shy boy to put out of his original poet by firstly evoking the barbarian in him, and he uses a unique way to help the boy to realize his own voice with imagination, creativity and courage. These two boys make me revaluate myself in that I see parts of me, the timid and dutiful me, from them, which is the reason I mentionthem there. Apart from Neil and Todd, Knox, chasing his love with bravery and persistence, is another typical student in Welton. The front half of the movie is inspiring and pleasant, but the harmony, warmth were smashed into pieces along with the tragic ending.When the most passionate boy, Neil, is unable to achieve his dream, later commits suicide, the movie turns into the heavily pathetic mood. The school has to track down the cause of the tragedy, and to appease the anxiety of the parents, without a little doubt, Mr. Keating is dismissed from the college as a scapegoat. The boys belonging to Dead Poet Society, who fear to be expelled, sign a paper stating the accusation of Mr. Keating expect for Knox in a determined rebellion against the school. At the very end of the film, taking his own belongings, Mr. Keating is about to leave the classroom when Todd firmly stands on the desk to call out ‘Oh, Captain, my captain’, which is the exact way taught by Mr. Keating to ponder differently. Looking at the shyest fellow to speak out indignantly, other boys begin to intimate the same behavior one by one to express their admiration to Mr. Keating, which is considered as the outlet for the boys.Dead Poet Society is a seemly ordinary but can reach into the innerdepth through the boys’ eagerness of pursing freedom and dream. I believe no one will deny this is a masterpiece, not only because of Robin Williams’terrific acting but because all the quoted brilliant poems of the past scholars. Having this motion picture three times, I can’t help remembering some fantastic lines said by Mr. Keating, ‘Carpe Diem. Seize the day. Make your lives extraordinary’, ‘Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference’. There are certain movies that get under your skin, never to come out, and Dead Poet Society is absolutely the one to me.Since I became a college student, I’ve been engaged in the seemly occupied but ordinary college life, s。

They're not that different from you, are they?Same haircuts...full of hormones just like you.lnvincible just like you feel.The world is their oyster.They believe they're destined for great things just like many of you.Their eyes are full of hope just like you.Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives...even one iota of what they were capable?Because you see, gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils.But if you listen real close...you can hear them whisper their legacy to you.Go on, lean in. Listen.Do you hear it?Carpe.Hear it?Carpe.Carpe diem.Seize the day, boys.Make your lives extraordinary.- That was weird. - But different.Spooky, if you ask me.Think he'll test us on that stuff?Oh, come on, Cameron, don't you get anything?What?

What happened?Tonight...l met the most beautiful girl l have ever seen in my entire life.- Are you crazy? What's wrong with that? - She's practically engaged.To Chet Danburry.- The guy could eat a football. - Too bad.Too bad? lt's worse than too bad, Pitts. lt's a tragedy.A girl this beautiful in love with such a jerk?All the good ones go for jerks. You know that.Yeah, forget her. Open your trig book and try and figure out problem five.l can't just forget her, Cameron. And l certainly can't think about trig!We got it!All right, gentlemen, five minutes. Let's go.- Did you see her naked? - Very funny, Dalton.That wouldn't be a, uh, radio in your lap, would it, Mr. Pitts?No, sir. A science experiment.Radar.Gentlemen, open your texts to page 21 of the introduction.Mr. Perry, will you read the opening paragraph of the preface...entitled 11Understanding Poetry11?11Understanding Poetry by Dr. J. Evans Pritchard, Ph.D.To fully understand poetry, we must first be fluent...with its meter, rhyme and figures of speech.Then ask two questions: One, how artfully has the objective of the poem been rendered? And two, how important is that objective?Question one rates the poem's perfection.Question two rates its importance.And once these questions have been answered...determining the poem's greatness becomes a relatively simple matter.lf the poem's score for perfection is plotted on the horizontal of a graph...and its importance is plotted on the vertical...then calculating the total area of the poem...yields the measure of its greatness.A sonnet by Byron might score high...on the vertical, but only average on the horizontal.A Shakespearean sonnet on the, on the other hand would...score high both horizontally and vertically...yielding a massive total area...thereby revealing the poem to be truly great.As you proceed through the poetry in this book, practice this rating method.As your ability to evaluate poems in this manner grows...so will, so will your enjoyment and understanding of poetry.''Excrement.That's what l think of Mr. J. Evans Pritchard.We're not laying pipe. We're talking about poetry.How can you describe poetry like American Bandstand?11Oh, l like Byron. l give him a 42, but l can't dance to it.11Now, l want you to rip out that page.Go on. Rip out the entire page.You heard me. Rip it out.Rip it out!Go on. Rip it out!Thank you, Mr. Dalton.Gentlemen, tell you what. Don't just tear out that page, tear out the entire introduction. l want it gone. History. Leave nothing of it.Rip it out! Rip! Be gone, J. Evans Pritchard, Ph.D.Rip. Shred. Tear. Rip it out!l want to hear nothing but ripping of Mr. Pritchard.We'll perforate it, put it on a roll.lt's not the Bible. You're not gonna go to hell for this.Go on.

Huddle up.Huddle up!We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race...and the human race is filled with passion.And medicine, law, business, engineering...these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.But poetry, beauty...romance, love...these are what we stay alive for.To quote from Whitman...11O me, O life of the questions of these recurring...of the endless trains of the faithless...of cities filled with the foolish.What good amid these O me, O life?''Answer: that you are here.That life exists, and identity.That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.That the powerful play goes on...and you may contribute a verse.What will your verse be?For what we are about to receive...may the Lord make us truly grateful.Amen.-Quite an interesting class you gave today, Mr. Keating. -Sorry if l shocked you, Mr. McAllister.

You see, we would gather at the old lndian cave...and take turns reading from Thoreau, Whitman, Shelley.The biggies! Even some of our own verse.And in the enchantment of the moment, we'd let poetry work its magic.You mean, it was a bunch of guys sitting around reading poetry?No, Mr. Overstreet, it wasn't just guys.We weren't a Greek organization.

Dead Poets Society 读后感
Dead Poets SocietyGood afternoon,Ladies and gentlemen, today, I am very honored to be here to present you a speech, and I would like to take this opportunity to share with you my personal feelings and thoughts after watching this great movie Dead Poets Society.After reading Neil’s story, I found myself in a way am as lucky as he is. Not refers to his death of course, but because we both have found our dream s—the thing that make you feel extremely excited even it just flashes through your mind for a few seconds, the thing you found is the true love of your life. You feel enthusiastic, you fell happy, and you feel wonderful when you are with it.I still remember those days for the first time I finally found what I want in my heart. It was the second year of my college life. We took a course of American Literature. And I was soon entranced by the words in it, even if the book is just a brief introduction of those great works. It was amazing. It felt like that I suddenly entered a new world; I found a new land where all the amazingly powerful and beautiful words live. For me, it’s like a garden in spring.That day, I felt my eyes open, my world bright. I cried with tears and told my mother how happy I was to meet my true love after twenty years waiting and searching.I do not know whether you still remember Neil’s excitement when he first got the leaflet reads “Midsummer Night’s Dream”. “I found it,” Neil shouted, “I found what I want to do right now. What’s really, really inside of me.” he laughed like a excited child, “I am gonna act. Yes, yes! I’m gonna be an actor!”With a serious and happy look on his face, he continued, “For the first time in my whole life I know what I want to do. And for the first time,, I’m gonna do i t…” He jumps for joy, he dances , and he is extremely happy. So am I .Neil is lucky. In this world, many people just swim in the stream of meaningless, never giving themselves a chance to their dreams. Just like what Henry David Thoreau said, the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.To find our dream is the most important thing in humans’ lives, and for that we then must cherish it. There is a saying that you have to cherish your dream and make it come true because your dream does not often pursue you. Dreams are as fragile as the petals of flowers: such beautiful, such soft, but so easy to die. Now it exists, then it stops breathing. So, once again, I think of “carpe diem”. Seize the day, boys and girls, and in this way, we can make our lives extraordinary.Neil’s story also makes me realize how lucky it is to grow up in a family who supports you and understands you and how important it is to give your understanding and support to your families. In the future, I will give my own children a free and simple family where they can grow uphappily.Neil’s story impressed me a lot, Knox’s too. I remember the boy in the movie—Knox, who falls in love with Chris but he does not dare to tell her and thus he feels upset. He once said “I have been calm all my life, I am going to do something about it.” Then he called her; he sent her flowers and read her poems; and they finally got togethe r…Everybody knows himself well, me too.I am kind of Knox in my life. My temper is as good as the sheep; I do not argue; I try to help people a lot; never complain. But after a long time, I cannot hear my own voice now. Many people take this kindness for granted. It makes me realize each time when I let others to make public decisions without consulting me; I am actually giving up my rights to speak out my minds. Suddenly, I feel that my voice becomes so small that people cannot notice me. But like Knox, I want to change, I want to break out, I want to show all of them that I matter something.In the end, I wish you all could successfully find your dreams, find what you really want to do and keep on cherishing them.Thank you and God bless you all.。

dead poets society Dead Poets Society英文观后感导读：就爱阅读网友为您分享以下“Dead Poets Society英文观后感”的资讯，希望对您有所帮助，感谢您对 的支持!Shan BaiT oday, we watched a old movie,《Dead Poets Society》, which moved me a lot. This film describes an English poetry teacher, John Keating, who is against traditional education methods inspires his students to think out of box and seize the day. In Keating’s class, he asks students stand on his desk, teaching them look at life in a different way. Keating also ask students rip out the rigid introduction of their poetry books encourage them to have free thinking. Keating’s unorthodox teaching methods are not accepted by other traditional teacher. Although he is fired at last,Keating has had profound influence on his students. T o my way of thinking, this inspirational movie expresses a theme that people should have courage to grasp their own life and make everyday count.The system of education portrayed in the film differs from my experience. I am so luck that I didn’t bear on 1950’s Vermont. During my education, the methods of teaching are more flexible than the traditional methods shown in the film. We don’t need to follow teacher to repeat the boring words. Instead, teachers use multimedia which is more interesting and attractive to impart knowledge in contemporary class. Moreover, current student are less likely to suffer physical punishment, and it is even illegal to punish students physically in some countries.In my opinion, I admire Mr. Keating’s behavior. What he asked students to do is to help them find themselves, to pursuit what they desire to do in their life. T oday, numerous people still lack of courage to be individuals. It is undeniable that I am also one of those people. Sometimes, I am afraid of breaking the routine and worried about future if I deviatefrom the life that my parents have already planned for me. Nevertheless, I decided to change my life and to do some different things in my senior year. I gave up the job what my parents expect me to do and prepared to study abroad. I believed that the change of circumstances can help me to be different, but now I realized that the only thing can make me change is my heart, no matter where I am. I still have a long way to be what I want to be.October 14, 2015百度搜索“就爱阅读”,专业资料,生活学习,尽在就爱阅读网,您的在线图书馆。
Dead Poets Society死亡诗社精讲笔记(英文台词及注释)
Dead Poets Society死亡诗社精讲笔记KEATING: "Oh Captain, My Captain" who knows where that comes from? Anybody? Not a clue? It's from a poem by Walt Whitman about Mr. Abraham Lincoln. Now in this class you can either call me Mr. Keating. Or, if you're slightly more daring, Oh Captain, My Captain. Now let me dispel a few rumors so they don't fester into facts. Yes, I too attended Welton and survived. And no, at that time I was not the mental giant you see before you. I was the intellectual equivalent of a ninety-eight pound weakling. I would go to the beach and people would kick copies of Byron in my face. Now, Mr. Pitts? That's a rather unfortunate name. Mr. Pitts, where are you? Mr. Pitts? Would you open your hymnal to page 542 and read the first stanza of the poem you find there? PITTS: To the virgins, to make much of time?KEATING: Yes, that's the one. Somewhat appropriate, isn't it.PITTS: Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, old time is still a flying, and this same flower that smiles today, tomorrow will be dying.KEATING: Thank you Mr. Pitts. "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may." The Latin term for that sentiment is Carpe Diem. Now who knows what that means?MEEKS: Carpe Diem. That's "seize the day".KEATING: Very good, Mr.-MEEKS: Meeks.KEATING: Meeks. Another unusual name. Seize the day. Gather ye rosebuds while ye may. Why does the writer use these lines?CHARLIE: Because he's in a hurry.KEATING: No, ding!KEATING: Thank you for playing anyway. Because we are food for worms, lads. Because, believe it or not, each and every one of us in this room is one day going to stop breathing, turn cold, and die.KEATING: Now I would like you to step forward over here and peruse some of the faces from the past. You've walked past them many times. I don't think you've really looked at them. They're not that different from you, are they? Same haircuts, full of hormones, just like you. Invincible, just like you feel. The world is their oyster. They believe they're destined for great things, just like many of you. Their eyes are full of hope, just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because you see, gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Carpe. Hear it? Carpe. Carpe. Carpe Diem. Seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary.妙词佳句，活学活用1. not a clue“毫无头绪”的意思，有时候也说成not have a clue。
dead poets society中的表达
Dead Poets SocietyIntroductionOverview“Dead Poets Society” is a critically acclaimed 1989 film directed by Peter Weir, showcasing the transformative power of literature and its impact on a group of young students at the prestigious Welton Academy in Vermont during the 1950s. The movie explores themes of individuality, nonconformity, and the pursuit of passion in the face of societal and familial expectations.Plot OverviewThe story revolves around John Keating, an unconventional Englishteacher played by Robin Williams. Keating seeks to inspire his studentsto think independently and to appreciate the beauty of poetry. He introduces them to the concept of the “Dead Poets Society,” a secret club that encourages the exploration of literature and poetry beyond the confines of the traditional curriculum. As Keating’s t eachings empower his students to embrace their true selves and challenge the status quo, the film delves into the personal journeys of several characters and explores the consequences of their actions.Embracing IndividualityKeating’s Unconventional Teach ing MethodsKeating’s teaching style emphasizes individuality and self-expression. He encourages his students to question societal norms and think beyondthe established conventions. By introducing them to poetry, he urgesthem to explore their emotions, find their own voices, and trust their instincts. Keating’s lessons on carpe diem, Latin for “seize the day,” ignite a thirst for life and inspire the students to break free from conformity.The Impact of PoetryThrough the study of poetry, the students discover a world filled with emotion, beauty, and meaning. Poetry acts as a catalyst to unlock their creativity and allows them to express themselves authentically. As they share their own compositions during the meetings of the Dead Poets Society, they not only connect with poetry but also discover a sense of community and belonging.Neil Perry’s TransformationNeil Perry, one of Keating’s students, experiences a profound transformation throughout the film. Initially suffocated by hisfather’s expectations to become a doctor, Neil discovers his passion for acting through Keating’s teachings. Inspired by the words of poets like Thoreau and Whitman, he auditions for the school play against his father’s wishes. However, Neil’s pursuit of his dreams ultimately leads to tragedy, highlighting the sacrifices individuals may face when challenging societal expectations.Nonconformity and its ChallengesThe Pressure to ConformWelton Academy is presented as an institution that values tradition, conformity, and the adherence to strict rules and expectations. The pressure to conform is a constant theme in the film, as the characters grapple with the conflict between societal norms and their own desires. The resistance against conformity is exemplified by the members of the Dead Poets Society, who strive to break free from the limitations imposed on them.Todd Anderson’s JourneyTodd Anderson, initially a shy and introverted student, undergoes significant personal growth as he embraces the principles of the Dead Poets Society. Encouraged by Keating, Todd learns to overcome his fear of self-expression and public speaking. Through the support of his friends, he gains the confidence to rebel against the expectations placed upon him and seize the opportunities that life presents.Consequences of NonconformityWhile the characters in the film experience personal growth and empowerment through nonconformity, there are also consequences to their actions. The defiance of societal expectations leads to conflicts with authority figures, strained relationships with their families, and, in the case of Neil Perry, tragic outcomes. “Dead Poets Society” portrays the challenges individuals face when they deviate from the established path and showcases the risks associated with pursuing individual passions.Conclusion“Dead Poets Society” serves as a powerful exploration of individuality, nonconformity, and the transformative power of literature. It highlights the importance of self-expression, the pursuit of passion, and the courage to challenge societal expectations. Through the characters’ journeys, the film inspires viewers to seize the day, embrace their true selves, and make their lives extraordinary.。

Dead Poet's Society(Drama)(1989)© 1999 by Raymond WeschlerMajor CharactersMr. John Keating....................Robin WilliamsYoung professor of English who is both inspiring and a bit eccentric. Neil Perry.................................Robert Sean LeonardStudent who wants to be an actor althoughhis very strict father insists that he become a doctor.Todd Anderson........................Ethan HawkeNeil's very shy roommate.Knox Overstreet.........................Josh CharlesStudent who falls in love with the daughterof old friends of his parents.Charlie..........................................Gale HansenA very defiant student.Mr. Nolan.....................................Norman LloydThe conservative and strict head of Welton Academy.Plot SummaryThis is the story of students at the respected "Welton Academy," a preparatory school in Vermont. Such schools were (and often still are) very conservative institutions that serve as high schools for parents who insist on sending their children to the best universities. Welton, like many prep schools, admitted only boys. The movie takes place in 1959.The plot centers on the influence of Mr. Keating, a young and exciting English and poetry teacher, who is determined to teach his students to live life with absolute passion. Mr. Keating, using poetry as his vehicle, teaches his students to challenge the institutions around them.Inspired by Mr. Keating's philosophy of life, many of his students recreate the "Dead Poet's Society," a secret club which meets in a cave in order to discuss poetry, philosophy and other topics. The club, which Mr. Keating had created many years earlier when he was a student at Welton, would be completelyunacceptable to the conservative school, which discourages students from "thinking for themselves." Indeed, Welton students should be in their rooms, studying only the prescribed materials that their teachers assign. This movie is about what happens when these students decide to pursue their own desires, and to live life with the passion that Mr. Keating encouraged. Ultimately, it is about what happens when a few idealistic students find themselves confronted against conservative forces that resist all change, including the drive for personal self-determination.Words and Expressions that You may not KnowStudents arrive at Welton Academyfor the beginning of the school year.OK boys, settle down.An alternative to calm down.: Tradition, honor, discipline, excellence.A "pillar" is a physical foundation upon which something is built.

dead poets society观后感英文短"Dead Poets Society" is a thought-provoking film that delves into the themes of individualism, the power of language and poetry, and the struggle between conformity and self-expression. The story revolves around a group of boys at a conservative boarding school who are inspired by their unorthodox English teacher, Mr. Keating, to embrace creativity and pursue their passions. The film beautifully captures the transformative power of literature and the profound impact that a mentor can have on shaping young minds. It also highlights the tension between the traditional values upheld by the school and the liberating, revolutionary ideas introduced by Mr. Keating. The tragic conclusion serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences that can arise from challenging societal norms and the dangers of suppressing one's true self. Overall, "Dead Poets Society" serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of free thinking and the pursuit of one's dreams, while also cautioning against the potential backlash from those who fear change.中文翻译:《死亡诗社》是一部发人深省的电影，深入探讨了个人主义、语言和诗歌的力量，以及顺从和自我表达之间的斗争。

O Life! - Walt WhitmanThe Prophet - Abraham CowleyThe Road Not Taken - Robert FrostShe Walks In Beauty - Lord Byron(Song of Myself XVI - Walt Whitman )Excerpt from Ulysses - Alfred Lord TennysonExcerpt from Walden - Henry David Thoreau(The Ballad of William Bloat - Raymond Calvert )Sonnet XVIII - William ShakespeareSong of Myself Section 52 - Walt WhitmanO Captain My Captain - Walt WhitmanO Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won,The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;But O heart! heart! heart!O the bleeding drops of red,Where on the deck the Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead.O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;Rise up --- for you the flag is flung --- for you the bugle trills,For you the bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths --- for you the shores a-crowding, For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning,Here Captain! dear father!The arm beneath your head!It is some dream that on the deck,You've fallen cold and dead.My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will,The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done,From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;Exult O shores, and ring O bells!But I with mournful tread,Walk the deck my Captain lies,Fallen cold and dead.To the Virgins, Make Much of Time - Robert HerrickGather ye rosebuds while ye may,Old time is still a-flying,And this same flower that smiles today,To-morrow will be dying.The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,The higher he's a-getting,The sooner will his race be run,And nearer he's to setting.That age is best which is the first,When youth and blood are warmer;But being spent, the worse and worstTimes still succeed the former.Then be not coy, but use your time,and while ye may, go marry;For having lost just once your prime,You may for ever tarry.O Me! O Life! - Walt WhitmanO Me! O life! of the questions of these recurring,Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill'd with the foolish,Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew'd,Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,The question, O me! so sad, recurring-What good amid these, O me, O life?Answer.That you are here-that life exists and identity,That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse. The Prophet - Abraham CowleyTeach me to Love? go teach thy self more wit;I am chief Professor of it.Teach craft to Scots, and thrift to Jews,Teach boldness to the Stews;In tyrants courts teach supple flattery,Teach Jesuits, that have traveled far, to Lye.Teach fire to burn and Winds to blow.Teach restless Fountains how to flow,Teach the dull earth, fixt, to abide,Teach Woman-kindinconstancy and Pride.See if your diligence here will useful prove;But, pr'ithee, teach not me to love.The God of Love, if such a thing there be,May learn to love from me,He who does boast that he has bin,In every Heart since Adams sin,I'll lay my Life, nay Mistress on't, that's more;I'll teach him things he never knew before;I'll teach him a receipt to makeWords that weep, and Tears that speak,I'll teach him Sighs, like those in death,At which the Souls go out too with the breath;Still the Soul stays, yet still does from me run;As Light and Heat does with the Sun.'Tis I who Love's Columbus am; 'tis I, Who must new Worlds in it descry; Rich Worlds, that yield of Treasure more,than that has been known before,And yet like his (I fear) my fate must be,To find them out for others; not for Me.Me Times to come, I know it, shallLoves last and greatest prophet call.But, ah, what's that, if she refuse,To hear the whole doctrines of my Muse?If to my share the Prophets fate must come;Hereafter fame, here Martyrdome.The Road Not Taken - Robert FrostTwo roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveller, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair;And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, And I-I took the one less travelled by,And that has made all the difference.She Walks In Beauty - Lord ByronShe walks in beauty, like the nightOf cloudless climes and starry skies;And all that's best of dark and brightMeet in her aspect and her eyes:Thus mellow'd to that tender lightWhich heaven to gaudy day denies.One shade the more, one ray the less,Had half impair'd the nameless graceWhich waves in every raven tress,Or softly lightens o'er her face;Where thoughts serenely sweet expressHow pure, how dear, their dwelling-place.And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,The smiles that win, the tints that glow,But tell of days in goodness spent,A mind at peace with all below,A heart whose love is innocent!Excerpt from Ulysses - Alfred Lord Tennyson It little profits that an idle king,By this still hearth, among these barren crags, Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole Unequal laws unto a savage race,That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.I cannot rest from travel: I will drinkLife to the lees: All times I have enjoy'dGreatly, have suffer'd greatly, both with thoseThat loved me, and alone, on shore, and whenThro' scudding drifts the rainy HyadesVext the dim sea: I am become a name;For always roaming with a hungry heartMuch have I seen and known; cities of menAnd manners, climates, councils, governments,Myself not least, but honour'd of them all;And drunk delight of battle with my peers,Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.I am a part of all that I have met;Yet all experience is an arch wherethro'Gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fadesFor ever and forever when I move.How dull it is to pause, to make an end,To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use!As tho' to breathe were life! Life piled on lifeWere all too little, and of one to meLittle remains: but every hour is savedFrom that eternal silence, something more,A bringer of new things; and vile it wereFor some three suns to store and hoard myself,And this gray spirit yearning in desireTo follow knowledge like a sinking star,Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.This is my son, mine own Telemachus,To whom I leave the sceptre and the isle,--Well-loved of me, discerning to fulfilThis labour, by slow prudence to make mildA rugged people, and thro' soft degreesSubdue them to the useful and the good.Most blameless is he, centred in the sphereOf common duties, decent not to failIn offices of tenderness, and payMeet adoration to my household gods,When I am gone. He works his work, I mine.There lies the port; the vessel puffs her sail:There gloom the dark, broad seas. My mariners,Souls that have toil'd, and wrought, and thought with me-- That ever with a frolic welcome tookThe thunder and the sunshine, and opposedFree hearts, free foreheads--you and I are old;Old age hath yet his honour and his toil;Death closes all: but something ere the end,Some work of noble note, may yet be done,Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks:The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deepMoans round with many voices. Come, my friends,'T is not too late to seek a newer world.Push off, and sitting well in order smiteThe sounding furrows; for my purpose holdsTo sail beyond the sunset, and the bathsOf all the western stars, until I die.It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'We are not now that strength which in old daysMoved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;One equal temper of heroic hearts,Made weak by time and fate, but strong in willTo strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.Excerpt from Walden - Henry David ThoreauI went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear, nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion. For most men, it appears to me, are in a strange uncertainty about it, whether it is of the devil or of God, and have somewhat hastily concluded that it is the chief end of man here to "glorify God and enjoy him forever."Sonnet XVIII - William ShakespeareShall I compare thee to a summer's day?Thou art more lovely and more temperate:Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,And summer's lease hath all too short a date:Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;And every fair from fair sometime declines,By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;But thy eternal summer shall not fadeNor lose possession of that fair thou owest;Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,When in eternal lines to time thou growest:So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,So long lives this and this gives life to thee.Song of Myself Section 52 - Walt WhitmanThe spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me, he complains of my gab and my loitering.I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable,I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.The last scud of day holds back for me,It flings my likeness after the rest and true as any on the shadow'd wilds,It coaxes me to the vapor and the dusk.I depart as air, I shake my white locks at the runaway sun, I effuse my flesh in eddies, and drift it in lacy jags.I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love, If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles.。

《死亡诗社》英文影评及观后感
Dead Poets SocietyWho are you?What are you doing?What do you want?Many of us are losing ourselves because of the reality, frustration, the pressure or the authority. In fact, we are just like a chess, for others have arranged all for you. We spend a lot of time in those things we do not like. However, we are immature. We choose silence or choose to force ourselves to like it. We ourselves never dare to say "NO" loud, or never master our life in our hand.Perhaps, you will defend for yourself, "This is no other way to do "; Perhaps you will say, "Now that everything looks the same, can I be unique "；Perhaps you will say, "This is the reality, and no one can beat it"; perhaps, very likely, you will become one of them and establish the authority of parents to educate your children. You have become a loyal defender of authority. There is an old golden Chinese saying: No one can exist who resists me .However, all in all, cannot it change?《Dead Poets Society》tells me that nothing is impossible. At that time, nothing is more important than yielding. What you have to do is to obey discipline and authority. To Rebel means no good results. In that old church school, in the solemn opening ceremony, taught by anold-fashioned and strict teacher, with the hope of the parents who have paved the road for them, they lose themselves. That "Tradition” "honor" "discipline "" excellence " quells them.“Oh, captain, my captain! Where are you?”Fortunately, they met with Mr Keating.To help more young people to find his own, Mr Keating chose teaching.He taught students to live. Students set up "Dead Poets Society" to release themselves.He taught students not to blindly comply with authority. He asked each one to tear up the wrong page that others take as authority.He encouraged the students to listen to the sound of heart. Then Knox read love poems to a girl, expressed his love bravely.He encouraged the students to see the world with a new vision. He let everyone stand on a chair to watch the world.He helped students overcome psychological barriers. And then Todd finally dared to express himself in front of everyone. Also, finally, It was he who first stood up and told the truth.Oh, captain, my captain. We are so lucky to have you. Because of you, we lead a new life from now on.Sad with the death of Neil. Neil put off all the clothes before the suicide and went away, naked, which meant he did not want to be underrestraint. Neil's death is a tragedy. However, to win the war, something must be sacrificed.I was impressed by the scene. Finally, students stood one by one on the desk to speak for Mr. Keating. Though Mr. Keating would not be back again, his impact on students will exist forever.I think that their life will certainly become unusual and significant from now on.At last, I want to dedicate some words to you. It is when Mr Keating led the students to find the meaning of life when reading Thoreau's poetry:I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, and not when I had come to die, discovered that I had not lived.Carpe Diem！To me，seize all to find out the meaning of life and one day the world will be different because of you.一、及时行乐，让你的生命超越凡俗《船长，我的船长》Oh ,captain ,my captain!《劝少年们珍惜时光》及时采撷你的花蕾／旧时光一去不回/今天尚在微笑的花朵／明天变得风中枯萎(丁尼生)Gather ye rosebuds while ye may/Old time is still a-flying/And this same flowers that smiles today/Tomorrow will be dying因为信不信由你，这个房间里的每个人，总有一天都要停止呼吸，僵冷，死亡。

死亡诗社英文影评（英语视听说）[优秀范文五篇]第一篇：死亡诗社英文影评(英语视听说)Film Critics of “Dead Poets Society”What is life? In the movie“ dead poets society”, life is a poem, life is music, drama is most the brilliant chapter;life is ideal, life is free, a person should have full confidence and independence;it will guide you, encourage you, inspire you to death and living the courage to the pursuit of true and noble faith of youth.Dead Poets Society tells about the story of students at the Wilton Academy, which is a famous preparatory school in Vermont.The plot centers on how Mr.Keating, a young and exciting teacher, who is determined to teach his students to live life with absolute passion, tutors his students to challenge the institutions around them.“Captain” led the students station to the table down around four, as he tells us, change an angle to have a look the world, you'll find out different things.Thus odd the brave learned to face, he was aware of the meaning of life.Knox ultimate pursuit to his most loved the girl, he learned that life is wonderful.Neal's dramatic dream in the snowy night successfully staged, his heart with passion and crazy beats, he was like a teacher said, do you really want to do.However , Mr.Keating’ existence is also a dagger.When the childen see light, they also smell death.Neal's rebellion, pale and weak force him to be driven into a corner.Radical teacher Keating was framed with Neal's death, the result is: leave.Children are collective station onto the table, watch their captain.Here, no regret, because children already realized he taught everything!The movie is one of the most wonderful films I have ever watched.T o be honest,I were always thinking that there were few movies orstories that could indeed touch me from the bottom of my heart.We have been limited since we were born.There are a great many rules and judgement around us which we are asked to do everything in accordance with.We all have a great need for acceptance,which lead us to act like all the other people regardless of ideas of our own.But life is short.Each and every one of us is one day going to stop breathing,turn cold and die.We don’t have to perform.Just make it for ourselves.Just like what Mr.Keating tells th e students,we don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute.We read and write poetry because we are members of humen race.And human race is filled with passion.Seize the day.“ Neal can be proud to say:” I lived, I was free to live!“ Neal, you have led us to a revival of” dead poets society“, in the night in the cave, we repeat the poem:” I went to the woods, because I wanted to live a meaningful life, I wanted to live deep, learn the essence of all life.Let's all give up all that was not life, and not when I return to the earth, but I found that I had not lived.“Dead poets society” reminds us, everyone of us is the only thing in the world, is also the most out of the ordinary, the genius of the one and only.Do we want to do, take the bull by the horns, no pressure, no doubt, fear nothing, brave starts our pace.life is a contradictory process, think of it very easily, not easy to be yourself in a real hit.Growth should be full of joy and happiness, but the cruel reality always relentless break our dream wings.The school built high walls, no body warmth, tortured people's social environment, wave after wave will drive us to the abyss of suffering, to accompany our only dark day, there is no dawn sun, cold air, and the pressure on the body of the mountains.If there is no evil, you will know how painful experience the warmth and happiness? Anyhow,just as thefamous sing goes “ When I was alive, I will be the master of life, not be its slave.”第二篇：死亡诗社英文影评Busy living or busy dying--the view after seeing “Dead Poet s Society”What does life mean?Life is like poetry.Life is like music.Life is ambition.Life is freedom.A person should have confidence and independence, which leads you, inspires you to seek true youth and noble beliefs.In this key school with top graduation rates and a history of more than 100 years, it purports four pillars: tradition, honor, discipline, excellence.But when the students shut the door, the four pillars are turned into: hypocrisy, terror, decadence and impurity.They also give it a name: hell.Mr Keating's existence is a bunch of sunshine but also a dagger.He is their wisest “captain”, the most fearless spirital guide.He brings them to an imprisoned situation step by step.But when the children see light, they also smell death.When we are young, we can chase for lofty ideal and glorious death.Between unromantic living and regretless death, I will always choose the latter because “people are great for dreams”.After seeing the “Dead Poets Society”, I realize the value of living.Life is just a stage for us, not important in itself.What kind of role and content we select on stage is of importance.Whatever drama, poetry, tragedy, drama, mime or opera...Even a hideous mess or an empty-headed can be shining.The principle is: make your choice and pursue it in you life.“I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately.I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life！To put to rout all that was not life.And not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”“O Captain!my Captain!”英师1班吴侃璇 100111045第三篇：《死亡诗社》英文影评My feelings after watching the film----Dead Poets Society“Dead poets society” is old.It is a film about conservative and innovation, realistic and romantic, new and old two forces competition.This movie is one of the most wonderful films I have ever watched.T o be honest, I finished the film with tears.When the boys were standing on the desks one by one, and calling the leaving teacher: “Oh！Caption, My Caption.” I could not help crying.It was really touching my heart.Campus drama in the history of the screen has been performed many times, do not dare to say all that we get the shock of the soul, but at least let us understand that we can have a different future.“Dead poets society” once again reminds us that everyone of us is the only thing in the world, the most out of the ordinary, also the genius of the one and only.Do we want to do, take the bull by the horns, no pressure, no doubt, fear nothing, brave starts our pace, and shout out our true feelings to the world loudly.“Dead poets society” the story occurred in a school named Wilton college preparatory high school in the last century fifty's.The enrollment rate of good school has one hundred years of history and good reputation.The purpose of school is called the four pillars: tradition, honor, discipline, excellence.When the students shut the door, the four big pillars became: hypocrisy, horror, decadence and filthy.At the same time, the students also gave it a very vivid name: hell.A prologue and lens of depressive manifestations express strong deterrent and confining force of this“ hell” on students', it is like a little heat and emotionalcolor machine, and every students into qualified products processing are consistent.But all of this changed because Keating, the alien teacher.Mr.Keating's first appearance in the school's opening ceremony, with refined and courteous smile, likes a warm easy-going character of middle-aged men.This pair of deceptive appearance contrasts with his series of “shock the common customs” per formance in sharp contrast color.In Keating’s first class, he led students away from the classroom with a light humming ditty, which discard the classics and rebel against orthodoxy on the surface, but against life.He asked the students to stop the impetuous pace, to face the old yellow photos, to listen to“ card horse Dean” the silent advice, to feel that the time is short and the life is dying.“Captain” led the students one by one to stand on the table and let them look down around.He told them, “Change a n angle to have a look the world, you'll find different things.” “Captain” let the students walk around on campus, and do not follow others' pace.Because when you are walking with other people in the behind you will discover how easy obedient is, and how difficult sticking to your own personality is.“Captain” let classmates exercise on the playground with reading poems loudly, because the passion of exercise is most touch to the essence of life.With the influence of Mr Keating, some of his students founded their own “dead poet society”.Neil came to act without his father's agreement.T od told the girl who had boyfriend that he loves her, and wrote a poem for her.They did what they like to do, and they were happy.But other teachers and students' parents were not happy with that, Specially Neil's father.When he found his son went to act a buffoon without asking him, he was so angry.He wanted Neil to transfer the school, for he thought it was MrKeating's fault.But, Neil didn't want to.Then, that night, Neil killed himself.Neil died.Mr Keating became the one to be blame.And he was fired.Before he left, he smiled.Because he knew his students imbedded his mind deeply into their thoughts.That's enough!“Poetry, beauty, romance, loving these are what we stay live for”, we are just a person, not a product.We live on the earth with our own passion.Without doing what we like to do, I think I have never lived.So Neil chose to die.In fact, it's his father killed him.Parents regarded this school as heaves, but to the students, it was a hell.Parents always think things using their own minds.They never think for their children: are they like these majors? What are they like to do? They just know that becoming a doctor will be very honor.They never consider that their children are happy or not.They just know that becoming a doctor will earn a lot of money and have a good life.They always think they are right, do well for their children.Actually, they are wrong.Absolutely wrong!Mr Keating, the captain, who wanted to change the education system of the school and change the mind of parents, but failed.But I think it will come true one day.Maybe the life is a kind of torture!As long as you live you have to face everything in life!But this “torture” not only bring you pain!If there is no evil, will you know warmth and happiness? In fact, you could turn a look, maybe you'll find out everything is not so confusing!第四篇：死亡诗社英文影评（推荐）Dead Poets Society After watching Les Choristes, I continued to watch Dead Poets Society.Immediately, I found that both of them had the same theme.I even felt that I didn’t need to spend more time finishing it.At this time, the teacher’s words came to my mind that it was homework for that week which no one coulddelay, so what I could only choose was to move on.The result proved that my reluctant choice was right.I gradually became moved and couldn’t help shedding tears.Especially, when I watched the last five minutes--the moment the boys standing on the desks one by one called to the leaving teacher “oh, captain, my captain” in the saddest voice, almost no words could describe my true feeling.Although it doesn’t tell us what will happen to Mr.Keating and at the same time it gives us a very big room to imagine with our own thought.Everything is summed up in the few words put over in the scene and Mr.Keating’s final “Thank you,boys.”Yes, the respectful teacher was their captain in their whole life.He interested them in the poets, but in fact in life.It also helped me to see and understand the precious feelings between human beings better.Neil Perry,the hero of the movie,was a fighter to old forces.He was a lovely and clever young man,with good marks ,handsomeappearance.Maybe he was one of the best example of perfect students.He tried to do what he wanted,but his father stopped him.His father asked him to be a surgeon and go to Harvard.If he did as his father ordered ,he may be a famous surgeon and live a simple life.But he couldn’t,because he met Mr.Keating.He wanted to find his own voice and fly in his own blue s ky.At last,he couldn’t bear the pressure from his parents and killed himself in a freezing winter night.Neil’s story proved that how important it is to stand one’s ground no matter how hard it may be.T odd Anderson,another important role in the movie,wrote down “seizing the day”in the first class.At first sight,he was a student who just knew to learn and obeyed whatever his parents told him.He threw his pencil box which his parents gave him as his birthday present with Neil’sencouragement.Mr.Keating asked and encouraged him to describe what did Hetman look like in his imagination.With the help of Neil and Mr.Keating ,he gradually became a fighter,standing in the opposite of the old forces.After Neil died ,he had to accept his parents’ and the schoolmaster’s authority and was forced to admit that Mr.Keating was the main reason for Neil’s death.At the end of the movie ,he firstly stood up on his desk to say goodbye to Mr.Keating.Before he stood up,hehad already known what was the result of his action,but he still did as he wanted to.He has been a true fighter then.After seeing this movie,I couldn’t calm down for a long time.It reminded me of my experience from my primary school to my univercity.When I was a child at school,my teachers were very strict to us.In our classroom,we must pretend to be the obedient sheep,not like in Mr.Keating’s class where his boys can be the free wolves.We were told that the answers in the teachers’ hands were standard.I want to ask what on earth is the standard answer.Everything has many aspects.Defferent people,different view,different answers.I think I’m so lucky that my family members have never give me any pressure in my study,but I always feel a kind of invisible pressure behind me.So I always work hard because I want to see the beautiful smile on my parents’ face when they know that I get the best marks.But many of my schoolmates were unlucky comparing with me.They lived an unhappy life because their parents gave them too much pressure that they can’t bear.They were always in so rrow because they would be blamed if they got bad marks.One day,if I have a child,I won’t give him or her any pressure,the one thing I will give him or her is that wings which belonging to them.Lethim or her fly freely in his or her own sky.At the same time,I want to tell all the parents all over the world that don’t give too much pressure on your children and let them take their own decision,or you will get nothing.When it comes to here, I have to say that Dead Peots Society is one of my favorite movie I have ever seen.I’m very impressed by many things from this movie.Now I want to share my favorite words in this movie.“I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately...I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life!T o put to rout all that was not life...And not when I came to die, discover that I had not lived...”These words definitely moved me and made me think of my favorite quote-seize the day, and make our lives extraordinary.I always believe strongly that if we all really do like this, the world, basically will be ours.As we all know, the only limitations are within ourselves, and we owe it to us to fight, to rebel against conformity, to change what we hate and keep what we love.In fact, living in this world is a beautiful responsibility, and only cowards dare not to change it for the better.The fact that the cast was basically my age, and was passing through the same dilemmas and situations I was facing made it all so much more powerful.I know I haven’t seized the day completely, b ut I will keep on trying.第五篇：死亡诗社英文影评Dead poets societyThe movie which the first time I heard is recommended by my friend, because the movie is so old that I didn’t want to watch it.But this time my teacher also recommended it, I think it must be a good movie.After watching it, I felt a little sad, not because of its end, but think o us today.There was much to thinkabout in the film, maybe different people have different ideas.The film tells us a story of the U.S.wilton elite school in 1959.it’s a trad itional and old fashioned school which like a prison.The ancient bells ushered in new semester and also ushered in a new teacher Keating.He calls himself the captain.The captain like a lighthouse will lead students through the gloom.In his classroom, he encouraged his students to stand on the desk, with a new perspective to observe the world around.He introduces many thoughtful poetry to students, even allow students to tear up those dull textbooks.On the other hand they were encouraged to search the beauty and the real life in the poetry.Neil made me the deepest impression, he was fond of poem and the performances, but he was asked to become a doctor;he was the first one to comprehend Keating’s thought, but also he is the first one to reconstruct” Dead Poet s Society“.on the stage he found his target, but strict father didn’t care about what he thought.Neil did not want to become a father expect people, but also unable to become a real himself, he chose to end his own life.Todd this closed and timid child, he never dared to show true himself, he was afraid that others evaluate him.Under the guidance of the teacher, he slowly began to bloom his own ideas.Neil's death made him grew up, when Keating was dismissed, he is the first one to stand on the table and shouted: Oh, the captain, my captain!Under his leadership other students also stand on the table, the moment was very impressive.I have learned many things from these two kids, the most difficult is to choose in our life.When reality and the ideal have contradiction, what kind of choice you will make? There will certainly be a gap between in reality and the ideal, but how we should do? The answer is to be the master of life, not the slave oflife.When we have goals we should be bold to pursue.Carpe diem.Seize the day, boys.Make your lives extraordinary.Do real ourselves, as the film said, ”I went to the woods because I wanted to the live deliberately.I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life!To put to rout all that was not life.And not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."。

Now, language was developed for one endeavor, and that is--Mr. Anderson. Come on, are you a man or an amoeba? Mr. Perry? NEIL Uh... to communicate? JOHN KEATING No! To woo women. Today we're going to be talking about William Shakespeare. Oh, God. I know, a lot of you look forward to this about as much as you look forward to root canal work. We're gonna talk about Shakespeare as someone who writes something very interesting. Now, many of you have seen Shakespeare done very much like this: "O, Titus, bring your friend hither." But many of you have seen Marlon Brando... you know that Shakespeare can be different. "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears." You can also imagine maybe John Wayne as Macbeth going, "Waaall, is this a dagger I see before me?"

• A Midsummer Night’s Dream
• If we shadows have offended, Think but this — and all is mended— That you have but slumber’d here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream, Gentles, do not reprehend; If you pardon, we will mend. And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck Now to escape the serpent’s tongue, We will make amends ere long; Else the Puck a liar call: So, good night unto you all, Give me your hand, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends
• JOHN KEATING We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?
Pieces of Poetry Cited in
Dead Poets Society
O Captain! My Captain!
—Walt Whitman
• O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done; The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won; The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring: But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead.
Memorable Quotes
• JOHN KEATING Why do I stand up here? DALTON To feel taller. JOHN KEATING No. Ding! Thank you for playing. I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way. See, the world looks very different from up here. You don't believe me? Come see for yourselves. Come on. Just when you think you know something, you have to look at it in another way. Even though it may seem silly, or wrong, you must try. Now, when you read, don't just consider what the author thinks. Consider what you think. Boys, you must strive to find your own voice. Because the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all. Thoreau said: "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation." Don't be resigned by that. Break out. Now don't just walk off the edge like lemmings! Look around you! Dare to strike out and find new ground. Now, in addition to your essays, I would like you to compose a poem of your own, an original work. CLASS Ooh! JOHN KEATING Oef! La-ha-ha-ha-hum! That's right. You have to deliver it aloud, in front of the class on Monday. Ooh! Bon chance, gentlemen. Mr. Anderson! Don't think that I don't know that this assignment scares the hell out of you, you mole.
