A challenge to the conformist WASP culture of 1950s America
Dead Poets Society takes place within Welton Academy an elite, upper class WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) boarding school where tradition and being proper are the most important attributes. Into this mix comes John Keating (Robin Williams) the new English teacher who actually graduated from Welton. His students include Todd (Ethan Hawke), Neil (Robert Sean Leonard), Knox (Josh Charles), and others. Keating introduces them to the beauty of the word, poetry and literature using unconventional methods which endears him to his pupils but gets him in trouble with the administration. The theme is the conflict between discipline and routine vs free thought and individualism.<br /><br />The movie begins by laying down the culture at Welton with an opening ceremony and then how dry the faculty is compared to Keating. He takes them out of their class and into the hallway where he makes some self-deprecating jokes and then gives them a lesson about the need to live their lives the best they can and seize the day. Later he tells his class to rip out the introduction to their poetry textbook because the author wrote that you can judge poetry like a math problem. Keating is offended by the idea and wants it to be expunged from the book. Instead he tells the kids that words and language matter and ideas can change the world. They can actually set people free. Here is Keating’s style and the reason why his kids are drawn to him. He’s the exact opposite of the stuffy style of Welton. That will eventually lead to trouble because the school is an institution set upon maintaining its tradition and conformity to its rules. What happens in this conflict is the dilemma of the film.<br /><br />Dead Poets Society was one of those rare movies where Robin Williams was actually contained. Even when he was teaching he didn’t go as crazy as he usually did in his other films. The story has strong hints of books like Catcher in the Rye. It hints at the conflicts that arose in America in the 1950s with things like Rock N Roll, the Beats, and the Civil Rights movement which would lead to culture and society to crack in the 1960s. The movie isn’t for everyone because it is really WASPy but it’s a strong tale.
