To quote the dvd's back cover, "Robin Williams delivers an extraordinary performance in one of the most compelling motion pictures of all time." Let's not forget the amazing performances of Ethan Hawke and Robert Sean Leonard.
An unforgettable movie that changes not only the lives of the students in the film, but also the viewers'.

DPS is as warm a film as an electric blanket, as rich as history and as likable as any wise old man with inspiring words.

" Painfully shy Todd Anderson has been sent to the school where his popular older brother was valedictorian. His roommate, 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 does so in his own way, and is changed for life. Dead Poets Society was rele"

Las películas más pendejas que he visto (95 movies items)

"La película no es mala, lo admito ¿Pero porque dicen que es una película sobre poesía si apenas hablan de eso? El resto de la película son historias de personajes genéricos. La peor fue del Simp que acosa a una porrista que tiene novio y que al final terminan juntos. Eso me daño toda la película."
