Dead Poets Society | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

Academy Award winner Robin Williams delivers a brilliant performance in one of Hollywood's most compelling and thought-provoking motion pictures. Williams portrays passionate English professor John Keating, who, in an age of crew cuts, sport coats and cheerless conformity, inspires his students to live life to the fullest, exclaiming..."Carpe Diem, lads! Seize the day. Make your lives extraordinary!" The charismatic teacher's emotionally charged challenge is met by his students with irrepressible enthusiasm - changing their lives forever. Magnificently directed by Peter Weir ('The Truman Show') 'Dead Poets Society' earned unparalleled praise among audiences and critics alike. Discover for yourself what all the cheering's about!

Synopsis: Steeped in the tradition of movies about dedicated teachers, this drama centers around a prep school English teacher in an idyllic, circa 1959 New England hamlet who inspires greatness, and then some, in his students.
