The film Dead Poets Society is about in 1959 Wilton high school by its dignified style when people respected. Where the mode of education, not only monotonous but constrained thinking. However, all this in the hands of a new teacher has changed. John Keating anti-traditional approach to education to the college brought a trace of anger: He encouraged the students in his classroom, standing on the desk, with a new perspective to observe the world around; many thought him to introduce students to poetry; divergent-thinking philosophy he advocated the freedom of students caused great repercussions. Gradually, some people accept him, began to bravely face every day, to grasp their own life.In the film the new English teacher Mr. Keating taught them see the world in different ways not only think the poets' message, but through your own eye to see the poems.Everyone will face death but before you die you need to do something you really want to do.Try to do something you real want to do and don't just say you want but do some actions to realize them. You can walk with your own style,but if no one urge you won't be able to walk as fast as you can to reach your goals. In the film students call Mr. Keating " O Captain, My Captain!" Mr. Keating like a captain of those students which is the apirituak leader. He leaded students to against the tradition to change the life to see the world in different ways. Mr.Keating just like president Lincoln leaded people to change the life.And the end of the film Mr. Keating leave the school. This scene featured president Lincoln was dead. Students farewell to Mr.Keating and they called him"O Captain, My Captain", they won't forget this man who be brave in against the tradition and taught them how to see the world and how to change life by self. Mr.Keating effects all of them.This scene just like president Lincoln dead but American people still remember this country hero. They never forget this man who effect whole country of people.
