(1990)
Regisseur:
Peter WeirSchauspieler:
Robin Williams, Ethan Hawke, Kurtwood Smith, Josh Charles, Norman Lloyd, Robert Sean Leonard, Gale Hansen, Dylan Kussman, Allelon Ruggiero, James Waterston, Carla Belver, Leon Pownall, George Martin, Joe Aufiery, Matt CareyDer neue Literaturlehrer John Keating (Robin Williams) bringt Farbe in den vor Traditionen erstarrten Internatstrott in Welton. Er lehrt seinen Schülern eine neue Sicht des Lebens und die Wichtigkeit des freien Denkens. Heimlich treffen sich die jungen Männer in einer abgelegenen Höhle und zitieren Gedichte. Diese Neuerungen passen jedoch gar nicht zu den Vorstellungen der Schulleitung und der Eltern. Vor allem der Vater des schauspielerisch begabten Neil (Robert Sean Leonard) wendet sich gegen Keating, als er von dessen Unterrichtsmethoden erfährt.
Peter Weirs Meisterwerk zelebriert mit grandiosen Bildern und überragenden Schauspielleistungen das Kino der Gefühle.

His room-mate, Neil Perry (), although exceedingly bright and popular, is very much under the thumb of his overbearing father () . The two, along with their other friends, meet Professor Keating (), their new English teacher, who tells them of the Dead Poets Society, and encourages them to go against the status quo. Each, in their own way, does this, and are changed for life.
