Dead Poet's Society

I have recently enjoyed the experience of watching a film entitled, "Dead Poet's Society" with my Literature class at school.
Don't worry, I won't spoil anything.
After watching the completed film, I have figured out what I believe is the main point of the movie. Though my words are simple and few, listen, listen, I'm calling to you. "Carpe diem" is a Latin phrase meaning "seize the day".  If you have also seen the movie, you'll see what I mean by that. If you haven't seen it, then let me say that this film is surrounded and filled with seizing the day. So many risks, so many dangers, yet everyone seizes the day.
My personal opinion of the movie is that it was an intense, eye-opening, and truly miraculous film. Out of all the films I have seen in my life, I have to say that I am most grateful I have seen this one instead of the others.
Naturally this film includes poetry, and I have to say I am so honored to have watched this movie. Poetry is included from real life, and characters created their own poems. This is such a moving movie, and you really connect with the characters. I really think this whole movie is a poem. You don't hear poetry in every line of the movie, but you hear it in the rest of the movie. The characters don't even have to speak. But if you listen, really listen, you can see poetry in everything. This movie created that FANTASTICALLY.
Out of all the movies I could recommend, I would recommend this one. I haven't enjoyed a movie like this in all my life. "Dead Poets Society" is my official favorite film.
