Sometimes, death is for life.
In "Dead Poets Society", the only death is Neil, and Erta is basically the most cheerful and active man among these boys.
After watching the movie, John Keating was expelled from school, and we all felt that it wasn't the teacher's fault. Under the leadership of the weakest classmate, everyone even stood on the table to protest Mr. Keating's departure.
But as long as you pay attention, you will find that although Mr. Keating does not necessarily do something "wrong", Neil's death is indeed related to him. This is the moment when Neil is touched by Keating, a teacher who is different: the teacher tells them that life is short
When talking about death, Neil's empty eyes fell into some kind of contemplation. He was thinking about the value of his life, and he might have planted the seeds to fight and avenge his father's oppression.
In fact, just like seeing a dream of Red Mansions for the first time, many people, especially young people, are easily moved by the specious, grand and real poems that also contain nothingness.
Teenagers do not know the taste of sorrow, but prematurely consider the grand meaning of life, is it a good thing? uncertain.
Although they are tall and strong, they are still children, with a blank head, obviously moved by Mr. Keating's thinking system. In fact, when I watch the movie, I can realize that these teenagers, although they are in a beautiful elite school, live in the ivory tower of Wilton.
Behind the relaxed, interesting and enriching learning is a pair of eyes
Everyone’s heart is being controlled by the parents in the secular society not far away: they always remind their children that your goal is Harvard and Yale
In this school, Keating is an anti-traditional existence. He understands the hearts of children and how to catch them. He hopes that children can develop themselves more autonomously and freely, so he brainwashes them whenever he has the opportunity.
Life and death, the reason why it is called death, is to live towards death, always thinking about the meaning of life and the meaning of existence.
This is the awakening of the individual, giving up the burden of the world, but also carrying the burden of the self.
Among all the children, Neil is the most involved in the play. He not only took the lead in organizing the "Dead Poets Society", but also indulged in this logic of life value.
For Neal, the value system was embraced. His death was precisely for his life. Before killing himself, Neil left poetry behind
Neil's parents cry, they are for the child
Teacher Keating also cried, because of the child or because of himself
Intuitively, Neil's parents killed him.
Objectively, the awakened Neil killed himself.
Subjectively, as imagined, Mr. Keating enlightened the nerds and made Neil prematurely pursue and realize the meaning of life, which is also the cause of Neil's death.
Meaning itself is a burden, so for this meaning, Neil killed himself, is it worth it? Isn't it worth it?
Others, on the other hand, are only discussing responsibilities, and everyone has established their own cognition. Todd, who was running on the frozen lake, chose the values and beliefs of his roommate.
Which would you choose?
Probably, it's a good idea to avoid being a good kid from the start and lowering the parents' expectations.
