Dead Poets Society 死亡诗社

Neil Perry (Robert Sean Leonard), Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke), Knox Overstreet (Josh Charles), Charlie Dalton (Gale Hansen), Richard Cameron (Dylan Kussman), Steven Meeks (Allelon Ruggiero), and Gerard Pitts (James Waterston) are senior students of the Welton Academy prep school, whose ethos is defined by the headmaster Gale Nolan (Norman Lloyd) as "tradition, honour, discipline and excellence". Both Neil and Todd are under harsh parental pressure to become a doctor and a lawyer respectively, but Todd wants to be a writer and Neil wants to be an actor.

The teaching methods of their new English teacher, John Keating (Robin Williams), are unorthodox by Welton standards, first exiting the class room whistling the 1812 Overture tune to lead the students down before the class photos of long since aged and passed alumnus to impress the youths with the importance of carpe diem or seize the day. He convinces the students must address him "O Captain! My Captain!" in reference to a Walt Whitman poem if they feel daring.

威尔顿预备学院以其沉稳凝重的教学风格和较高的升学率闻名，作为其毕业班的学生，理想就是升入名校。新学期文学老师John Keating（Robin Williams）的到来如同一阵春风，一反传统名校的严肃刻板。Keating带学生们在校史楼内聆听死亡的声音，反思生的意义；让男生们在绿茵场上宣 读自己的理想；鼓励学生站在课桌上，用新的视角俯瞰世界。老师自由发散式的哲学思维让学生内心产生强烈的共鸣，他们渐渐学会自己思考与求索，勇敢的追问人生的路途，甚至违反门禁，成立死亡诗社，在山洞里击节而歌！Professor Keating, Mr. Keating, Captain Keating, 他的教育宛若春风化雨，润物无声的留在每个人心里…

推荐理由：罗宾-威廉斯会让你不由地想起和你一起抽烟喝酒，一起公然对抗学校，甚至一起偷鸡摸狗的辅导员老师。你那种不羁的少年意气和无因反叛，也许会在这部电影之后，化作嘴角的一抹微笑，在若干年后时时地悄然泛起。
