Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke), a shy teenager, starts his senior year in Welton Academy, a prestigious school. His father expects him to be just like his older brother, one of the bests students in Welton Academy. There he meets Neil Perry (Robert Sean Leonard), a straight A's student and a popular boy with a lot of friends. On their first English class, they meet John Keating (Robin Williams), the new English teacher who stirs their curiosity by his unusual way of teaching. Later they find out that John Keating was also a student in Welton Academy and he was a part of a club called Dead Poets Society. Neil, along with Todd and the other boys, restarts the club secretly. 

I watched this movie a few weeks ago, and it was intriguing. It's interesting to see the culture and the way of living in the 1950s. The adults are very strict to the point of depressing for the youths. But I do admire the way they respect the elders and it was fascinating to see, it's very rare for us to see those kind of young people nowadays. I find the movie itself is beautiful and it makes reciting poems looks appealing somehow (I find poetry to be boring honestly). I definitely recommend this movie.
