O Captain! My Captain!

Quién no se ha emocionado al leer estas palabras de Walt Whitman, o quién no se ha emocionado al oirlas en una película maravillosa titulada " el Club de los Poetas Muertos" .

Dead Poets Society (1989) es un drama dirigido por  Peter Weir.  Trata de un elitista y estricto colegio privado de Nueva Inglaterra,donde  un grupo de alumnos descubrirá la poesía, el significado de "Carpe Diem" (aprovecha el momento)- y la importancia de perseguir los sueños, gracias a un excéntrico profesor (Robin Williams) que despierta sus mentes por medio de métodos poco convencionales.

Dead Poets Society (1989) is set in 1959 and tells the story of English professor John Keating, who inspires his students at Welton Academy to a love of poetry and teaches them to overcome their reluctance to make changes in their lives.

From the film:

"No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world."

"When you read, don't just consider what the author thinks, consider what you think"

"There's a time for daring and there's a time for caution, and a wise man understands which is called for."

"Boys, you must strive to find your own voice. Because the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all. Thoreau said, "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation." Don't be resigned to that. Break out! break out now is the time!"
