after have see some of peter weir other film ( the plumber and the car that eat paris and the green card . ) i decide to watch this . i have to say i feel this be one of his best film and thats a very strong character drive film . the plot represent in the 50 and new student tood anderson be send to the same school where his brother do fantastically . while he be try to play thing down about his brother and he start get on with people at the school and get a friend ( neil . ) the thing that change them be the new english teacher mr keating and who tell them they should be themselves and not act like sheep . tood and neil find out that mr keating use to be in a club call the dead poet society . after hear about this and tood and neil decide to re open the club to get themselves free and this will sadly end with one of them tack there own life . view on the film represent the screenplay representwritten by tom schulman and while the film have a bit of a thin plot and schulman make the film feel like a really great european type character drive film . the other thing that be do very well be the change halfway into the film and where it take on a very dark turn . while most movie would find it hard to change gear like that and this movie do it really well . the cast representthe cast do a really good job at make the people feel very real . you can feel williams move away from his ( very good ) comedy and to give really great performance for drama . but and the main stand out be ethan hawke and robert sean leondas a tood and neil . they both give really great performance that make you feel they really be friend and and that when neil dy and hawke do a great job at show the sadness he have and for lose a friend in such a sad way . direction representpeter weire do a fantastic job and at show how the film ( over the film time line ) change . from something that look really picture perfect and that could be from an old faded photo album and to some very dark and disturbing image . ( with very strong religious overtone aseptically in the suicide scene . ) but weire always make sure that the character be the centre piece of the film . the other thing weir do great and be very different ( at the time ) for get a really good and serious performance out of robin williams . final view on the film represent a really great character drive film and with a great cast and direction and a very moving story .
