Dead Poet Society


Last week we saw a film called: Dead Poets Society. I was prepared this was a really boring film, but it wasn’t. It was actually an enlightening. The themes were quite interesting too.  Themes like: Carpe Diem, Falling in love, school, teaching and suicide. Teaching is maybe the main theme. The plot in the film is always involving the theme teaching. There is especially one teacher who stands out. He’s very savvy and nifty, and he work tenaciously. He has a quite different way of teaching, and this teacher is the reason why the story is good enough to make a film of it. He is changing the whole plot. The way he teach and talk to the students, is the reason why they understands that they decide what they want to do with they’re life, and not just their parents. It's from him they learn to follow their hearts, instead of their brains all the time.


At this school the teaching strategies are very strict. And they learn to listen to their teachers and parents, and not to what they want. The new teacher turns this almost the other way around. He really wants them to follow they're heart and he also makes the learning into a funny thing, and makes the students want to learn more. Personally I think that is a much better way of teaching stuff to students.  Can’t just every teacher teach like that?
