Dead Poet's Society

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 9/12/2003, 4:24 pm

We just watched this movie in english. Though I don't usually like movies watched in english class, I loved this one. "Captain, my captain." This is what teaching should be.

Plus, the whole "Seize the day" (although clichéd) really got to me. I walked around for the rest of the day looking for ways to seize the day.

...

Then I came home and sat in the basement doing nothing. But at least now I think about seizing the day.

y'know, when the saying "carpe diem" was coined, it actually didn't mean to go out and accomplish things. it meant, since life is short, the physical world is short, therefore enjoy as much of it as you can. put in simpler terms: feel free to have tons of sex and get very drunk and various similar things that can only be accomplished while alive.

now that i've ruined that aspect, i liked dead poet's society too. it was very good.

When I was in school, we watched it during my CALM class. I fell asleep :freak:

Why do you get all the good movies in English class? All we ever watch is the Simpsons or mr Bean :freak:

CALM class? :uh:

I like that movie too, although it's severely depressing, and usually I don't need that.

I really need to watch Dead Poets Society again. I think the first time I saw it was also in English class. God, I love Robin Williams.

CALM= Career and Life Management

Best Class Ever. I'm just not sure if I learned anything about Careers and Life Management.

The teacher for that class was soo freaking cool. He let us play Quake in the computer lab often too

We watched clips of it in English. I found it pretty intriguing, so I guess I should get around to watching the whole thing some time soon

CALM here is called CAPP; career and personal planning. also a wonderful waste of time

I've seen that movie so many times, I own it actually, I saw it in english last year too, i think i was one of the only ones that liked it. It made me cry, it was so sad. Thank god I hadnt watched that seventies show before i saw it or it probably woulda killed the mood :lol:

I got so into it the first time I saw it, i started yelling at the screen that it wasnt his fault, blame the dad, bastards! :oops:

The guy beside me (Jason) and I were laughing because the same guy who plays Red Forman played the guy's dad. Every time we saw him we looked at eachother and said "Dumbass!"

We were waiting for the whole movie for him to say it. He didn't, of course.

But then when the boys were fighting nearer to the end, the one called another a dumbass. That made my day (well, on top of the movie itself).

I love that show! When is the premiere? Dumbass is my favorite insult.

I am taking Career Development in college...waste of fucking time!

it was the biggest waste of time in my entire life, I guess if you have a good teacher it could be fun, but I didn't.

we never watched that in school.

I'd read th ebook before I even knew there was a movie.

The movie rocks, but in the end, I'd advise the book over it; just because it tells more of the story.
