Dead Poets Society (DVD)
Peter Weir
Amoeba Review
Special Edition.
In an age defined by crew cuts, sport coats and cheerless conformity, he not only broke the mold...he reinvented it. Academy Award® winner Robin Williams (Best Supporting Actor, Good Will Hunting, 1997) delivers an extraordinary performance in one of the most compelling motion pictures of all time. Williams stars as English professor John Keating, a passionate iconoclast who changes his students' lives forever when he challenges them to live life to the fullest and "Carpe Diem" - seize the day! Keating's unconventional approach meets with irrepressible enthusiasm from his students, but the faculty at staid, exclusive Welton Academy prep school is, to put it mildly, not amused. Featuring a star-making performance by Ethan Hawke and over three hours of never-before-seen bonus material this Special Edition of Dead Poets Society will captivate and inspire you again and again.
