THOUGHTS? DEAD POET'S SOCIETY EDITION

Just thoughts I wanted to get out there

So Dead Poet's Society? Right? Now that I think of it was a film that came out when my dad was in his like late teens (technically he was around the same age as some of the cast). And somehow this film - made and released during their time has been one that resonated with the next generation? I am looking at the film and thinking, and I couldn't help but wonder.

I am not talking specifically about the aesthetic or anything but namely how this one film was definitely not made for my demographic. However - 35 or so years later I read a post here or come across a playlist or an edit or a series of head canons - I see how much this single film has impacted generations who came after.

I relate to this film on a very personal level (put the shipping factors aside). I remember watching scenes with Neil and I could almost recall having similar conversations in life and I had to take a step back and think as to why I wanted to block this film out for a while. I resonated with Todd as a writer but also as someone who had a very similar experience (shy - lack of confidence - but one who found their people). Other than that there were relationships within the story that made me look back at the ones I have and had and all that I am grateful for.

Also as a coming of age film I feel like it is one of the most realistic ones out there. The themes and the extremely bittersweet ending are raw and it hit me like a pile of bricks. The fact that they fell apart because of the things they loved - the heart of the group not being there made things drift apart - and those dreamers and poets who speak out are the ones to leave behind a deeply flawed system (and the cause and reason and leaving is depicted in extremely sad ways - they might give up on everything - or be kicked out for what they believed in - or carry extreme guilt for the rest of their lives) - There are those who fall in love and the ones that betray you and all of that can happen in just a few month. Things that took years to build like friendships and fellowships can crumble because of something external and all you believed in might not fix that.

(Also something weird just jog my memory if I am wrong but throughout the film these three use O Captain, My Captain - and its all in important moments - The last one to use it is Todd - Which I just think just captures his growth - he's taken up the confidence brought by two of his closest friends and a teacher who changed his life for at least a small fraction in time)

I had a few teachers in my life like Keating. They are the reason I never gave up on writing or doing things I love. They gave me reason to believe that I had something small I could put to use - I had a teacher who taught me at 14 who told me to never give up writing and another teacher who told me to continue writing poetry - another who showed to me that I should continue to fall in love with reading - another who showed me that the world was beyond the academics (as I studied classics - it was far more than that cookie cutter stereotype) - Also Keating as a teacher who actually listens - who is there to guide and help the boxes that literally hold students in uniformity

I don't know why - and how a film from the past can have such an impact on me in the 21st century - Very few films have impacted me in this manner and most of the films that have impacted me in that way were released in my lifetime. That being said I think myself lucky to have this to go back to. The film is a cathartic ritual of living, laughing in the moment and weeping and crying afterwards.

Memorandums of another past:

I follow you back to meadows green

But something whistles among the trees

Is this privacy at last,

Or is this a mirage inside a heart of glass?

I have made the mistake of getting Charlie to listen to the SpongeBob musical and now he steals Cameron’s clarinet and sings “I’m not a loser” I have created a monster.

I was watching dead poets society and I noticed that Neil has a little rocket model and a poster of what looked like a rocket flying in space so at one point he would have been a space nerd.

Like imagine Neil, Meeks and Pittsie just nerding out over NASA cuz 1950s space craze.

Like why don't we talk about this more this is so cute.

Wretched Power | 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐏𝐎𝐄𝐓𝐒 𝐒𝐎𝐂𝐈𝐄𝐓𝐘 (BOOK ONE) (on Wattpad)

Death can cause people to do the unpredictable.

Welton Academy didn't house girls. There were no exceptions. Generation after generation after generation of grade-hypnotised men and their sons walked the halls, slept in the beds, and ate the famous Mystery Meat every day. They expected their great-great grandsons to attend the same school, carry the same amount of books, sleep in the same beds, and obey the same rules.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝, 𝐚 𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐫𝐤 𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐧, 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥.

But... death can cause people to do the unpredictable.
