This shot forever haunts me. The way they linger this shot on Neil when Keating says that dialogue

The weird thing about being a dead poets society fan is that none of us wanted Neil to die, but he HAS to. It’s so weird that we’re drawn to the greatest tragedy that we don’t understand to push a message; would seizing the day and trying to be creative and yourself in a broken system actually move any of us to tears if I didn’t end in the death of one of the boldest characters?
Also, would it hurt this much if it wasn’t suicide? If he had been murdered, would it feel different? Would it feel more like he was robbed rather than left with no other option? Would the meaning of the movie mean less without his suicide? I think the answer is clearly yes, but from a narrative standpoint even though it would change little with how the movie ended (I think) it would be such a different experience as a viewer

Anderperry fans hyper-analyse ever micropixel in dead poets society by watching it 12 times a day then try to find a reason why there is no happiness in their lives.
'Comfort movie' what comfort?

I headcanon that Neil doesn't like peeling tangerines because the smell stays in his hands and he hates that so Todd does it for him.

the inexplicable fandom bond that the stranger things fandom, the marauders fandom, and dead poets society fandom all have is so fascinating to me
