4. Dead Poets Society Movie
a. Review
The Dead Poets Society in one of the best international movies. This can be proven by the awards this movie has got. Dead
Poets Society wins many categories. They are Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen, Best Original Film
Score, Top Box Office Films, Best Casting for Feature Film, Best Foreign Film, Golden Screen, Best International Actor, Best
International Film, and so on. This movie even can change one’s mind. The following is
the review from Francisco 2001. I saw the movie back when I was in High School. I had
a teacher who told us that we really needed to watch it; in fact, it was our homework for the day. We didnt
need to bring back a report, or talk about it in class. All he asked from us was to watch it, make up our own
mind about it, and that was it. As you can imagine, many friends of mine didnt watch it at all; I did. And
yes, I feel I changed a bit from there on.
This movie tells how the education has been out of its idea. The story of this movie seems like satire to those who
still apply the old method to teach and to study. This movie can be a good reference of education.

which is about the Dead Poets Society. He then tells his friends and invites them to ask to Mr. Keating about Dead Poets Society. After
they know some, they then try to do what Dead Poets Society used to do. Here, many conflicts start to begin.
