Driven by the individualistic Mr. Keating, the young students in the "School of Hell", where "tradition and discipline" are the first priority, see a different kind of classroom teaching, appreciate the extraordinary charm of poetry, realize the joy of independent thinking, and feel the pursuit of life. The first time I saw this, I saw a different kind of classroom teaching, realized the extraordinary charm of poetry, realized the joy of independent thinking, and felt another possibility of pursuing life.
Mr. Keating used his unique way to open up the students' eyes, inspire their thinking and guide their thoughts, so that they would no longer rigidly adhere to the rules, but release the vigor and passion of the young age.
They begin to have the courage to show their individuality, the courage to pursue love, the passion to love poetry, the passion to pursue freedom, to look for their favorite things and to make unremitting efforts to pursue them.
Expanded Information
"Dead Poets Society" Main Plot: Wilton Preparatory Academy is known for its calm and gravity-defying teaching style and high promotion rate, and as a member of its graduating class, the ideal is to be admitted to a prestigious school. The arrival of John Keating, the new semester literature teacher, is like a spring breeze, a departure from the serious stereotypes of traditional prestigious schools.
Keating took students to the school's history building to listen to the sounds of death and reflect on the meaning of life; had the boys read their aspirations on the green; and encouraged them to stand on their desks and look down on the world from a new perspective.
The teacher's free-flowing philosophical thinking creates a strong ****ing feeling inside the students, who gradually learn to think and seek on their own, bravely pursuing the path of life, and even violating the door, setting up the Death Poetry Club, and beating the drum in the caves.
