Dead Poets Society

Go To

Welcome to Welton Academy, where it's main honor is tradition. The school has sent their best teacher, John Keating, to serve as the new English teacher. We are also introduced to Todd Anderson who is bunking with Neil Perry, who has an extremely in different father.

Neil finally knows when he has been beaten. He goes to his bedroom, takes off his shirt, goes downstairs to his father's study, looks into a bundle contain a pistol and...

You didn't think Neil was gonna kill his own parents, did you?

Anyway, everyone is very sad over the loss of their friend, and Nolan has decided to open up an investigation into the case. As it turns out, Neil's father has decided to pull the I Reject Your Reality card and has pinned the blame on Keating, who is due to be suspended. Once, Charlie is expelled, Todd signs a confession even though he knows that the truth is still out there.

In what is considered to the most famous scene in the movie, the students see Mr. Keating off by standing on their desks and shoutiung "O captain, my captain.". As Nolan finally admits defeat, the emotionally touched Mr. Keating smiles:

"Thank you, my children."

He picks up his suitcase and goes out the door and that's all there is, there isn't anymore.

Hey that rhymes!
