Product Description DVD Special Features: Scrapbook Raw Takes Alan Splet Tribute John Seale's Master Class Audio Commentary Theatrical Trailer Languages in Dolby Digital 5.1: English, Spanish Languages in Dolby Digital Mono 2.0: English Subtitles: English, English for the hearing impaired, Spanish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Icelandic Widescreen format 1.78:1 desertcart.co.uk Review Peter Weirs entry in the "coming of age" teen movie genre, Dead Poets Society is a more than usually emotive tale of one teacher and the students he inspires. Robin Williams plays the radical English teacher in a stuffy New England prep school who tries to make a difference. His unconventional methods and love of poetry make him a hit with the repressed teens under his tutelage, and they in turn form a secret society for the pursuit of freedom, truth, beauty and other bohemian ideals. Much soul-searching ensues, not least from the doe-eyed Neil (Robert Sean Leonard) whose sensitive aspirations to pursue a career in the theatre are scuppered by his prosaic father with tragic consequences. True, the script is clichéd at times and the battle between adults and teens is hackneyed, but no one can deny the emotional power of the "Captain My Captain" scene, where the class defiantly stand on their desks, or the moment when Williams inspires his class with the motto "Carpe Diem". Indeed it is the relationship between Williams and his pupils that enables Weir to raise the film above what could have been over-sentimental slosh, with Williams trademark improvised monologues injecting humanity (even in a relatively serious role) into the central character. The result is an inspirational story that stands up to repeat viewings. On the DVD: Dead Poets Society is anamorphically enhanced for this special edition and the changing seasons of New England are beautifully recreated with rich earthy tones dominating the location scenes. Special attention has been paid to the audio track with the dialogue crisp and clear throughout. Extras are good, including retrospective interviews with cast and crew in the "Scrapbook" feature, an unedited scene that was originally part of a planned montage, the trailer and a couple of featurettes, both dealing with the technical aspects of the shoot. Theres also an audio commentary from director Weir, John Seale and screenwriter Tom Schulman.--Kristen Bowditch

Review: Memorable and poignant - I saw this film when it first came out and always remembered it being a good film. Over the years I forgot the details of the story but always remembered it as a film worth seeing. I recently watched it for a second time and was given a certain reminder as to why it’s a film worth seeing. The film explores questions about how we raise our kids. What is the purpose of education? How much freedom should pupils be allowed? Is there a threshold for discipline? The answers are not given, but left for us to ponder. We all have our own perspectives on what life is and how we should prepare the young for what is to come. Nobody will watch this film and be unaffected. It’s hard to say what it is that makes it such a good film but most people focus on Robin William’s performance as the main contributor. I have to disagree. There are many aspects of this film that make it worth seeing and all play their part just enough and without blatancy. If any performance had to be singled out for praise I would put Robert Sean Leonard’s portrayal of Neil at the front. Neil is clearly the focus for the audience and the one boy in the class who is affected most by their new teacher. He carries the viewer through the film and becomes the reason for its climax. I suppose Williams was the only known actor in the movie at time of its release and so his performance is highlighted. But I’d say his character was only a focal point for the boys in the school, not for the viewer. We’ve all been to school, so it is the pupils in the film that we relate most to.
Review: Thank god ! - Thank God, that there are some people on the planet that understood this film for its purpose, to show the intimate and spiritual side of life that is so sadly lacking in the modern world. Poetry has a substance to it that can either flatten you out or lift you up. The great thing is that there are many different styles of poetry to cater for all kinds of tastes. In this film Prof. Keating derives his teaching talents through many different Poets and enables his students to grasp that which is normally reserved for the "Romantics", those people who seem to exist in a different world to ours. But the film shows that anyone can pick up a compendium of Poetry and discover a new world, one where there's hope and one where another man's vision can inspire and give one a sense of direction. The many characters in the film mirror those in adult life and the decisions we will all have to make at some point, more often than not against the will of those closest to us. What I love about this film is that there is no censorship of the extremely delicate nature of suicide and the reasons behind making such a decision. It doesn't elaborate or sensationalise the act, but brings it into our world with a tangible essence that for me, showed just how vulnerable and easily breakable we all are in this seemingly cosy and secure existence. The film also remains a testament to the art of teaching, the pros and cons of going beyond that which all teachers aspire to, bringing young men to adulthood through wisdom and knowledge. Its a hard compromise, juggling your desire to further a boys education through the normal avenues of schooling and giving them the range of choices they will encounter, but arming them with the tools to make the right choice. In this, the film shows that there are dangers involved with unconventional teaching within an established curriculum and in particular, learning about the high moralistic values that Poetry can convey on a naive and innocent mind. Of course, Dead Poets Society is only one example, though extreme, of the possible ramifications in the nature of a singular English teacher in a respectable college in America, but it brings the wonderful colour of Poetry to our screens and delivers a message that there are other things we should discover in ourselves that are waiting to be exposed through journeys of exploration through the written word.
