alright there is this Italian series, I'm currently watching, called "Un professore" ("a teacher"), in absolutely no way it is related to dead poets society, EXCEPT for the fact that there is this teacher, not a normal teacher, if you catch what I mean, that is trying to let escape his students out of their shells. for example: there was this boy, who cannot leave his room, because he was afraid of the world outside, even if he knew that his life sucked. in one way or another the teacher succeeded to let him leave is comfort zone.

but the thing I want to talk about is the dynamic (which is very complicated, I'm not going to explain the details about it) between him and one of his student, which is also his son, Simone.

the teacher always try to talk to his son, even if Simone hates him because of his past, through his lessons.

Simone is a boy who step by step is figuring out to be in love with his male best friend, and is trying to accept the fact that he has no chances with him.

his father (the teacher), discovered this, and for let him know that he accept him, and it's okay to explore sexuality, he did this alternative lesson, in which the students had to walk, however they wanted to, in the empty gymnasium of the school, for making them realize the power and the dangerousness of conformity, by quoting michel foucault, a gay philosopher of the 50s.

and now you might think "gio, well, this is basically what keating did-" EXACTLY, that is the point, they're basically saying that neil and todd, were killed by conformism, as much as Simone was being killed. and that the society in that time couldn't accept someone like them, so they had to find their own voices, and scream as loud as they can, without being afraid of who they are.

#there is all another lesson about bravery #and many more about other important topics #but this is not the day to talk about it #at the end of the lesson also he made the students walk in circle #to show them what conformism actually was #and Manuel (the boy Simone like) walked the other way #KWHFKAHF #I know this is so random but I really wanted to talk about this #this series is so special to me for some reason #I needed to talk about it #also the teacher one time said a very poetic thing #and the one who he was talking to said “this is platone” #and he said “no actually I said that ;)” #IWJDIAJDISJFB THAT IS SO KEATING #italian fellows aggiungete cose se volete #I still haven't finished tho so #dead poets society #dps fandom #dead poets headcanons #neil perry #todd anderson #anderperry #un professore
