Oh Captain My Captain.

The film that everyone should watch and has taken me twenty years to watch!

I had forgotten how much I love and appreciate Robin Williams. This guy is not typically up there at the top of your list when you try to name the best actors in the world at the moment but he really should be. Alongside Dame Maggie Smith, Dame Judi Dench, Sir Ian McKellen and Dustin Hoffman should always feature Robin Williams.

Dead Poets Society is something completely different to what was on offer at the time. It gives me a feel of The Freedom Writers (Hillary Swank, Imelda Staunton) crossed with Good Will Hunting (Matt Damon, Robin Williams) and at times Educating Rita (Michael Caine, Julie Walters). The story is inspiring and at the same time very moving and startling.

Many people of a slightly older generation to mine can probably remember living in a time where you always felt that you had to do and become what your parents wanted. I find it startling to see the amount of control that parents had over their children and how pathetic people were in accepting and appreciating change and differences. I am a rebel and always be, if i don't agree with something then I just don't conform to it, even if it means walking out or making people despise me.

The plot of this film, the way that it was written and has been performed is truly a work of art and should and always will be for me, something that inspires me and it should be an inspiration for other people out there trying to make a film. This is the way that films should be made, a great plot that has been very well written and then one big name who carries the film with a few unknown people that really grab at their opportunity.

I felt the call to rally next to Robin Williams in this film and I am so thankful that I finally got the chance to watch this film and be reminded of just how good movies can be when they are done well. This film and the actors mentioned above should be the role models for every young person trying to make their way in the world of film because this film underlines quality and is a fine example of true talent and real art work.
