Dead Poets Society

Amazon.com Robin Williams stars as an English teacher who doesn't fit into the conservative prep school where he teaches, but whose charisma and love of poetry inspires several boys to revive a secret society with a bohemian bent. The script is well meaning but a little trite, though director Peter Weir (The Truman Show) adds layers of emotional depth in scenes of conflict between the kids and adults. (A subplot involving one father's terrible pressure on his son--played by Robert Sean Leonard--to drop his interest in theater reaches heartbreaking proportions.) Williams is given plenty of latitude to work in his brand of improvisational humor, though it is all well-woven into his character's style of instruction. --Tom Keogh Product Description In this classic, coming-of-age drama, multi-talented comedian Robin Williams, earned an Oscar-nomination for his protrail of the passionate, free-spirited Professor Keating, who inspired a group of students to absorb and appriciate life, love and poetry. Also starring Robert Sean Leonard and Ethan Hawks. (1989)
