This is an an excellent film that explains the desire to write from the heart! |
| Cons |
Only that I did not have an opportunity to see the movie earlier. |
| Bottom Line |
I would recommend "Dead Poet's Society" to anyone who is a fan of poetry, Robin Williams, or both. |

| Pros |
The acting, the story, the closing scene. |
| Cons |
It can be very painful to those who have had suicide in their family. |
| Bottom Line |
This is a powerful, inspirational, and sometimes heart-wrenching drama, that features fine acting and snappy dialogue. Parents should watch this with younger children, as it is potent. |
