DEAD POETS SOCIETY

After his comedic performance in GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM, Robin Williams showed that he was just as adept at drama in DEAD POETS SOCIETY. As John Keating, an unorthodox teacher in a strict boys boarding school, Williams exudes warmth and wisdom and brings Tom Schulman's Oscar-winning screenplay to vivid life alongside a talented supporting cast of young actors. Confidently directed by the ever-versatile Peter Weir, this instantly-iconic film introduced many audiences to the phrase, 'carpe diem', or, 'seize the day'.
