"Dead Poets Society"

Dead Poets Society was on television. The stars in the movie are Robin Williams Robert Sean Leonard, Ethan Hawke, Josh Charles.

Robin Williams plays the role of a literature teacher in a premiere prep school during the 1950s in Dead Poets Society. The teacher inspires his students to achieve new heights of personal courage and intellectual expansion which ultimately leads to the suicide of a promising student and his subsequent dismissal for “causing” the suicide.

The Educational bureaucracy, stifling parental control, the angst of growing up, the drive to experience new things, and the loyalty are all themes analyzed in this Peter Weir cinematic masterpiece.

The stars Robin Williams accompaniments and exhibits all his spian skills while Robert Sean Leonard, Ethan Hawke, Josh Charles, and Alexandra Powers count their blessings for being involved in such a great film. Norman Lloyd plays the perfect headmaster, and Kurtwood Smith is a controlling father. Laura Flynn Boyle makes a brief appearance which is hardly seen in the original release, but is given the light of day in the extended scenes shown on its network debut.
