Very seldom can one find a dated movie that transcends time to deliver a message that is as relevant, if not more so, now as it was when it first came out. “Dead Poet’s Society” is undoubtedly a film that will timelessly remain at the forefront of the film industry.

This past August, actor Robin Williams died nearly 25 years after the release of what could easily be one of his greatest films. It is no surprise that Williams plays a charming protagonist who appeals to children, because that is what he is often known for, but his character in “Dead Poet’s Society” goes far beyond his typical roles.

Portraying John Keating, Williams addresses an issue that has been rooted in education for decades: how does one make learning fun? By bringing his usual charismatic personality and infusing the ideal amount of intellect into the role, Williams plays upon the audience’s funny bone as well as their heart strings.

With a superb script, exceptional directing and stellar co-stars, Williams is able to increase the incredibility of the film by giving an absolutely believable performance that will make you wish he was your English teacher.

Bottom line: “Dead Poet’s Society” displays Williams at his best; it not only is an enjoyable film, but will also leave you thinking about life, love and carpe diem.
