finally complete watching dead poets society after 2 times not completing it due to many reasons or so...
it really a nice show. highly recommended. i hate sad endings..especially this show's ending..it's so tear moving...
there's one part of his teachings on individualism and non-conformity. On one occasion he brings the whole class outside the building and makes some of them walk around the yard. As the students walk, they more and more adjust their steps to those of the other students, and in a short time the leisurely walk turns into a strident march. Keating begins to clap his hands, and the students all join into the clapping and the rhythm of the marching. After a while Keating stops the exercise and explains: What this demonstrates is how difficult it is for any of us to listen to our own voice or maintain our own beliefs in the presence of others. ... Lads, there is a great need in all of us to be accepted. However, that need can be like a nasty current, whisking us away unless we're strong and determined swimmers. Don't insist on the separate path simply to be different or contrary, but trust what is unique about yourselves even if it's odd or unpopular. do not succumb to conformity, take the routes that others won't take!
In connection with the walking in lock-step exercise Keating had pointed out that everybody has the natural desire to be liked, and therefore the tendency to adjust his or her conduct to the expectations of others. And when striving for academic honors, students (as well as scholars) similarly try to please their examiners and readers—instead of speaking their minds without self-censorship and fear. But the price of such behavior is the suppression of what is most valuable in everyone, individuality, and a person’s becoming part of “the herd.” Resisting such adjustment to the expectations of others is, according to Keating and Emerson, the basic precondition for living a fulfilling life as well as finding the truth: "Either you will succumb to the will of the hoi polloi [the herd], and the fruit will die on the vine--or you will triumph as individuals.”
Striving for true excellence in life requires being open to the ultimately significant dimensions of human existence. In the same spirit in which he had explained to his students that medicine, banking, and the practice of jurisprudence are only the means to maintain life, not its ends, he also exhorts them to takes ideals seriously: "Deal with the important things in life--love, beauty, truth, justice.” Only persons for whom such ideals are not the usual platitudes, but a lived and living reality, can be said to be truly alive and awake. They are inspired, while the “the mass of men” (in Thoreau’s formulation) waste their time on mundane details “in quiet desperation.”
carpe diem!
next movie: freedom writers!

"my bf dont allow me to watch movie alone with another guy" i think by using this reason to reject your friend movie suck big time. seriously.
"my bf wants me to be home by 11pm" this is worst.
after hearing what my other friends said about their bf i was like dumbfounded.
stand up! be proud...dont even let your bf control your life. if you think what you're doing is right...stick to it!
