Such a refreshing film has not graced screens in a long, long time. Or at least not for a genre. Love Actually did it for the romantic comedy genre, Doctor Who (2005) did it for the science fiction TV genre, Serenity did it for the sci-fi movie genre, etc. Millions did it for the family genre -- obviously -- but I would go as far to say it sort of transcends the family genre. It is a standalone story, and like director Danny Boyle, cannot be pigeonholed into a specific mold. Both the story and film are sweet without being diabetic, good-natured without being gullible, loving without being smothering, touching without being groping, and awe-inspiring without being naive. Surprisingly wonderful performances out of all of the actors, especially Alex Etel. To be able to pull off the insight and understanding a role like this requires, and at such a young age...I want to hear what Haley Joel Osment or Dakota Fanning would have to say about him. Unlike their movies, this is no horror sci-fi thriller or daring, gripping drama. This is a straightforward story that deals with subjects much more complicated or real than Osment or Fanning have had to deal with, and which makes Alex Etel's performance all the more commendable (understatement?). And of course, Danny Boyle's brilliance shines through in every scene. His ability to make his trademark style (clever cuts, stop-motion sequences, etc.) work with such a tender (without being weak) story is amazing, and definitely inspiring. For the fans who doubt that this is Boyle will be completely reassured with the very clever scenes explaining the origin of the money.
Brilliant plot, brilliant performances, stellar direction and commendable care make this film worthy of a LOT more attention and applause. If only more filmmakers would be so refreshingly daring, especially Hollywood filmmakers, there would be a renaissance of sorts for movies all over the world. But of course, that's just wishful thinking.
Love this movie.

Love this movie.
First of all, this is movie is my all-time favorite, out of all the hundreds of films I have seen. However, every time I mention this film, I have to answer most people's quizzical looks with "It's a beautiful little 80s film that stayed in the 80s." After seeing it for the 24th time since I first saw it 5 years ago, on my 13th birthday, I can gladly say that this movie went far and beyond the 80s, and the power and inspiration of the message can be felt every day.
Dead Poets Society is a most underrated film by a most underrated director whose inspiring, uplifting and moral tales firmly grounded in reality are not nearly as appreciated as they should be. Here, we see one of his very personal and cradled projects, and he shows the visual style and concentration on characters in which he is so affluent. His control of the camera and the characters are very strong and very smooth. The cinematography is near perfect, with every shot, along with the editing, seamless. Also very compelling are the color-tones in every scene, perfectly matching the mood and events of the scene. Could you say this is art? Absolutely.
Then we have the performances. Robin Williams continues in stride as one who has to-date remained the most touching, heart-wrenching, awe-inspiring comedians with inarguable acting talent (he still remains my most favorite performer on the film screen). His Professor John Keating is a man who embodies every professor who you thought was cool and respectable, every person who taught or enlightened you in something out of the ordinary. In fact - dare I say it? - he teaches something EXTRAORDINARY! We have the tragically underrated Robert Sean Leonard in his role as the free-thinking catalyst student Neil. Why is this man not a household name/Hollywood heavyweight? His roles are always full of inspiration, energy, and tragic emotion that never fail to move an audience. His role in this movie is fresh, unhindered, and never pretentious as the cautionary tale of the movie. And then we have Ethan Hawke in one of his earliest roles as the point-of-view character. The entire supporting cast is very strong, also, providing the foundation and serve as the various emotional ties that further involve us in the story. Josh Charles's role as Knox Overstreet is a role that almost all guys can relate to wholeheartedly. And of course, all the actors who are in that Dead Poets Society do a fine job.
And lastly, the story. I won't summarize it since it's been summarized many times here, but I will say that it is one of the best coming of age stories for not only adolescents, but anyone. I have personally heard from nine-to-fivers who were inspired by this movie to change the situations of their jobs, careers, relationships for the better. I first saw this movie when I was 13, and immediately stamped, crowned and elevated this movie as my all-time favorite. Now that I am 18 and living on my own, with very different concerns than back then, I turn back to this movie over and over again, to find inspiration, solace and of course, entertainment. It is still my all-time favorite, and it still inspires me to seize the day and make my life extraordinary.
