Dead Poets Society
It was a revolution，one about thought.
I have never seen such a movie ,which was able to influence people’s mind so deeply. As Keating said, no matter how others tell you, the word and ideas can change the world . Yes，the poetry had influenced the students, and the movie had influenced us! Seemly ,no matter the history how change, when we are full of youth, passion, ideal, hope, there will always be confused, helpless and anxious beside, and they always laugh us, ” Hi, joker, you do not deserve that, listen to your parents , flatly light life. ” Yes, no matter which way we live in, all of us will go to the same ultimate-dead. But the difference is ,when we are about to sleep forever, whether we would regret or really happy? Although the job, money, fame and wealth are important to people, and living conditions, but poetry, beauty, romance and love is the reason why we live, because we are not machines, not animals, we have the language, thinking and passion! Growth is an excited and worried thing, when we hardly follow the tradition, honor, discipline and excellence, suddenly one day ,we find that we have been in one dream. A voice deep inside your heart calling you ,”Fuck the tradition, fuck the discipline …” and do you have the courage to pursue the real inner voice? Someone can do it ,but maybe others do not dare to step forward.
To be dead at the opening of D.P.S meeting .
When the bearing special teacher Keating into our line of sight for the first time, a unique intelligent, witty, profound and poetic temperament through screen already, let me feel a breeze. In his first class, he let the students remember the words: Carpe diem. He let the students remember a words: seize the day. This, in fact it is throughout all his spirit at the center of the pivot. He also poetic charged the classmates, Whitman's poem is to be used for call he: "Oh, captain, my captain!" (“Oh ,captain ,my captain ”is a poem by Walt Whitman about Mr. Abraham Lincoln for mourning his contribution to Americans’ liberation and national unity. ) Because he wants to be a guide, led the group of children who were imprisoned, boating sailing with freedom and ideal, to reach the shore where has truth.
Neil and Anderson accepted these thoughts clearly, and Neil rebuilt the D.P.S. on one night. “I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life！To put to rout all that was not life. And not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” That’s their first step to seek the real value of life.
What’s the most difficult for Neil is the contradiction between him and his father. "Don 't you dispute me in public! Do you understand?" Harsh statements more like talking to a subordinate, fully represented the father's arbitrary. And this is the stage for the story’s
development. When a liberal and intellectual is always ruthless suppressed for pursuing the ideal, and he can't resist, rage, because that is his father, who was deeply loved by him, what would he choose?
On the first class, Keating's words deeply touched Todd, his blood was boiled, so he wrote down the big word "Seize the day." on paper in a pen, however, he tear it and thrown into the trash can, because he was in the struggle, the impact was too sudden, making him fear, years of habit made him chose to escape again, although he may be aware of this silent may become numb.
The captain led The children to challenge authority, to break The tradition. He encouraged children to stand on the desk, to find difference; Let them walk around just like they want , do not follow in the footsteps of others; Let them exercise roar, touch the original wildness... O captain, my captain!
Like any revolution, however, when you are in violation the trend of the whole society, there are always conservative forces to accuse your ignorance! But the outbreak of the conflict is always the real key for the revolution, no matter a revolution in the barrel of a gun or thought revolution, its value depends on whether these people can withstand ordeal.
Great revolution always need to bleed. Neil and his father’s contradictions about the performance pulled the whole story to the climax. When he desperately stood in the stage and acquired success, unexpectedly still refuse and opposition from his father. Neil thoroughly despaired at that time, he gave up resistance, but he was not willing to suffer at the same time, so he chose death, which seems to be the only way can let his soul relief. It's a tragedy, caused by his father.
The essence of the whole story is at the end of the film, as Keating, has already been removed, come back to take personal items. He walked from the front to the back door as he did when he stepped into the classroom for the first time, I believe that a lot of people are all nervous, looking forward to an answer. Sure enough, did not let us down, when Todd stood on the desk bravely to shout out, ”O captain, my captain!” ,he finished the self-salvation, he was no longer that shy boy at first, at the same time, everyone's behavior is an approval to the teacher. This identity would make Keating feel what he has done was worthy!
Oh Captain! My Captain! Our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring

第二篇：《死亡诗社》影评
《死亡诗社》观后感
在教育电影的心灵史的课堂上看了很多有关教育的电影，也倾听了许多老师同学对这些电影的感悟，我觉得收益颇多，也感悟颇多。但在这么多精彩的影片中，给我留下最深刻印象的还是《死亡诗社》这部作品。在课堂上并非是我第一次观看这部电影，但无论重温几次，它还是可以带给我深深的震撼，这是一种心灵上的触动，历久弥新，这也是我选择这部电影写一些感想的原因。
《死亡诗社》的故事发生在上个世纪五十年代末一所名叫威尔顿预备学院的中学里。这是一所升学率不错的重点学校，拥有一百多年的历史以及良好的声誉。学院的校旨是所谓的四大支柱：传统，荣誉，纪律，卓越。可是这一切，却因为基廷这个异类老师的出现而改变了。在他的课堂上，他鼓励学生站在课桌上，用一个崭新的视角去观察周围的世界；他向学生介绍了许多有思想的诗歌；他所提倡的自由发散式的思维哲学在学生中引起了巨大的反响。由于基廷的出现，七个男孩托德，尼尔，查理，诺克斯，米克斯，皮茨和卡梅隆的生活也在悄然改变。比如诺克斯爱上了一个女孩，在三番两次的胆怯中终于鼓起勇气捧着花束去了女孩子的学校。比如尼尔终于鼓起勇气参加了学校的文艺演出。但影片的结局却稍显沉重，在尼尔父亲的反对下，无奈的尼尔最终拿起了父亲书桌里的手枪，指向了自己??而在七个男孩中的卡梅伦向学校报告了关于基廷老师鼓励他们组织死亡诗社之后，
基汀只能选择离开。但在基廷离开的最后一节课上，孩子们一个接一个的站了起来，他们反复吟唱着惠特曼的诗句：“啊，船长，我的船长。”影片就这样结束了，引发了人们无穷无尽的深思。
有人说基廷对传统教育的反抗最后还是失败了，但我想从基廷的角度看，他对传统教育模式的反抗 并不能说是失败的，毕竟他的思想已经影响到他的学生，渗透入学生的思想中。在他离开的时刻，学生也给了他坚定的支持，这对于一名老师来说是幸运的。自古以来对教育的反思甚至是反抗都不是一蹴而就的，每一次的成功都是站在无数次失败的基础上，所以总要有人勇敢的跨出第一步，成为光荣的先驱者，而基廷正是这样的先驱者。他将自由思想的种子播撒到学生的头脑中，这是十分难得的。尽管最后发生了不幸的事，我想着也是一种血的警醒，来呼唤人们的觉醒。从卡梅隆的角度看，我觉得他向学校告密的行为也并不可耻，毕竟每个人都有选择的自由。正如他所说：“需要有人为尼尔的死负责，而基廷是最合适的人。”在反抗传统的过程中，牺牲自己的利益需要勇气，也需要付出很大的代价，而我们并不能去逼迫所有人都接受这种代价，接受新的思想，所以我觉得卡梅隆的做法无可厚非。在无数先驱者中，注定有无数的人湮没在历史的长河中。从尼尔的角度，他热爱戏剧表演，但父亲的强烈反对导致他无法继续追求他的梦想，所以他选择了死亡。虽然他的反抗方式过于强烈，但却可以理解。我时常会想，人活着是为了什么。有些人活在这世界中，浑浑噩噩，为了活着而活着。有些人想着自己的目标，不断追求，不断开拓，实现理想。不管怎样，每个人对自己的存活都
有自己的定义。当一个人觉得活着已经毫无意义时，也许他便会选择死亡。从这里可以看出，尼尔是用生命在热爱着戏剧表演，所以当他了解到也许以后再也无法从事他所喜欢的表演时，他选择了死亡。不同于大多数人的观点，我觉得死亡并不一定是悲观的，人没有权利选择是否要降生到这个世界，但人该有权利选择是否继续留在这个世界。死亡并不是一种懦弱的逃避，因为并不是所有的人都有勇气选择死亡，相反它是一种最强烈的抗争。不管一个人选择活着还是选择死去，都不该成为别人诟病的话题。死亡是一个人在生命中的最后一项选择，所以必定是深思熟虑的决定，我们能做的只是尊重。所以我觉得尼尔的死并不是生命的结束，而是生命的选择，也是他对梦想对自由最后一次的追求。
影片中的尼尔为了自己的追求选择了死亡，这样的死亡也许是青春中最激荡的篇章。而在现实生活中，近几年青年学生的自杀率也居高不下，反观青年学生自杀的原因，多是生活学习压力的产物，这不得不说是教育的失败。这与现行的教育体制也有一定的关系，虽然今天的我们有一个相对宽松的环境，自我价值越来越受到重视，但应试考试的教育体制仍然束缚着我们的思想。所以当我们迷茫，找不到方向时，往往选择最极端的方式结束自己。尼尔的束缚是他的父亲，而我们的束缚来自于现行教育体制所引导的社会导向。我想我并不是要对教育体制进行多么强烈的批判，因为这也许是在现有国情基础上最公平、最合适的体制。但是随着社会的发展，我们势必要对这样的体制进行反思，进行改革，那么未雨绸缪就是一件必要的事了。同时，
我们也需要像基廷一样的老师，像尼尔一样的学生去探索，去反抗。
《死亡诗社》这部影片使我们产生了对教育，对青春，对生命的反思，让我们不由自主的探寻生命的意义，不由自主的思考教育的弊端，不由自主的感叹青春的激烈，我想这才是它真正的价值所在。一部好的影片留给人们的该是无尽的思考，而《死亡诗社》给了我这种思考，也希望我们可以在这种反思中有所收获，而不仅仅停留在思考的层面。
