Meeks didn't die in the Vietnam war. He is a happy and successful scientist who builds radios in his free time and eats rolls with Pitts. AND I REFUSE TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE!
maybe it's an unpopular opinion (or maybe its something waaay too obvious but forgive me i just watched the movie a week ago for the 1st time), but I think Neil missunderstood Keating's lessons.
"Seize the day" doesn't mean just "live today for tomorrow you migh be dead", it doens't just mean not to live constantly trapped in the past, or the future- it means "live today", yes, but it doesn't mean you have to completely stop caring about the future.
All I'm saying is he could've done what his father wanted until he had enough money to live on his own, ten years is nothing compared to all the years he could've lived acting. and yes, i know, "but he couldve died any day!", all i'm saying is that i think the lesson of the movie is: don't be neil. be patient, there are other options, and people who love you and care. or do you want your friends to grieve like we all did with neil? nobody knows what could've happened! yes, he could've died in those years of waiting, but also he might not, and that's part of the charm of living, that you don't know how much you have left, but you could have a lifetime.
like I know it’s the 50s/60s and it’s fairly normal to have pajama clothes but please. they’re little matching sets are so cute. and don’t even get me started on the robes. I’m desperate to snuggle with each and everyone of them.
Neil deffo stamps his feet when he gets excited about something and Todd just lets him rant about whatever he is interested in because he loves seeing Neil happy.
(In the scene where Neil write a letter from his Father if you listen to it Neil stamps his feet)
