Dead Poets Society Review:

1. I believe in my opinion who changed the most in the movie "Dead poets society" was Todd which was a new student to the academy as well as Neil's roommate. Todd starts out as the most timid of the others in the movie but then, Todd starts to gain confidence in himself thanks to Mr. Keating and Neil's encouragement from them.


2.  The character who did not change that much in the movie "Dead Poets Society" would be Knox Overstreet, he changed just a bit from the boy who was book smart and daring to the boy who went after "Chris the girl of his dreams" as he claims. Yet, throughout this whole movie Knox did not change his feeling about Chris and kept chasing her until he could get her.


3. Mr. Keating's character is rather than just one character about himself. Mr. Keating in my opinion was trying to bring life and free thinking to the school, he also makes teaching poetry of English fun and always interesting for the boys to understand and learn. Yet, Mr. Keating is also fired/ kicked out of the school for teaching in unorthodox ways and learning about Neil's death. In other words Mr. Keating is character as a blithe spirit, a unorthodox yet cool teacher, a scrape goat and a saver for the boys.


4. Many of the boys over come large mountains that they believed that they couldn't just do on their own. Mr. Keating helped these boys in many ways with their many difficult times.
Todd Anderson was beating himself to death over how to read out loud and speaking up. Until, Mr. Keating helps him out by bringing him up in front of the classroom and shuts his eyes to view what he sees to show him that he can do exactly everything like everyone else. Neil was a boy of fear, a fear of speaking or standing up for himself to his father. He let his father take control of his life until Mr. Keating sat down and talked to Neil about the issues of Neil's father. Neil I believed failed at trying to talk to his father about his problems and just killed himself to solve the issues. Charlie  was a shy and timid boy in the begging of the movie who later spins out of control and falls into love with the "Girl of his dreams" as he claims her as, Charlie was always wanting to be himself and stand out of the crowd.
