Genres & Description

Action Comedy Drama

8.1 / 10

Painfully shy Todd Anderson has been sent to the school where his popular older brother was valedictorian. His roommate, Neil Perry, although exceedingly bright and popular, is very much under the thumb of his overbearing father. The two, along with their other friends, meet Professor Keating, their new English teacher, who tells them of the Dead Poets Society, and encourages them to go against the status quo. Each does so in his own way, and is changed for life.

I have to admire the teacher's life-theme for his students to independently investigate truth for themselves... "The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desirest Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee. By its aid thou shalt see with thine own eyes and not through the eyes of others, and shalt know of thine own knowledge and not through the knowledge of thy neighbor." ~ Hidden Words of Baha'u'llah - @Friday, December 21, 2018 11:57 AM

This trailer somehow manages to completely miss the mark of the movie. Trust me the movie is so much better and so much more tragic than the trailer ever indicates. - @Monday, November 5, 2018 6:49 PM

Sad that movies today just can't even hold a single candle to the real acting during movies like this one. Every dime a dozen producer and director is all about stupid CGI....ALL about it. Yeah..I love modern day AAA demanding PC games, but when I want to watch a movie, there MUST be SOME reasonable amount of actually acting. - @Friday, October 5, 2018 11:34 PM

This feel good trailer is exactly why I never watched this film all these until last night. What a disservice to Peter Weir and all of the actors to showcase it this way, because it's a brilliant film, but not the one you see in the trailer. On the other hand, it's how it was such a hit in the summer of '89. Definitely not a summer film though, so Disney had to do a bait-and-switch. - @Thursday, August 23, 2018 12:47 AM

This is a wonderful trailer and I wonder whether it is "fan-made" or "official remastered" because it looks like a promo used for some re-screening of the film in theaters by touchstone. - @Sunday, July 8, 2018 7:41 PM

"Dead Poets Society" and "Stand By Me" are the only movies I've ever connected with on a personal level. They mean a lot to me. They're both in my top 5 favorite movies of all time. "Stand By Me" is number 1 and "Dead Poets Society" is number 2. - @Monday, October 9, 2017 3:12 PM

I am glad that this remastered trailer exists. Sometimes, I feel that despite the actual trailer being in full frame, there could be too much headroom because of the theatrical image area is at the bottom of the full frame - @Thursday, January 19, 2017 6:31 PM
