Painfully shy Todd Anderson has been sent to the school where his popular older brother was valedictorian. His room-mate, Neil, 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, in their own way, does this, and is changed for life. Seven boys, Neil Perry (Robert Sean Leonard), Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke), Knox Overstreet (Josh Charles), Charlie Dalton (Gale Hansen), Richard Cameron (Dylan Kussman), Steven Meeks (Allelon Ruggiero) and Gerard Pitts (James Waterston) attend the prestigious Welton Academy prep school, which is based on four principles: Tradition, Honour, Discipline and Excellence.On the first day of class, the students are introduced to their overwhelming and extraordinary curriculum by sullen headmaster Gale Nolan (Norman Lloyd). However, their new English teacher John Keating (Robin Williams) tells the students that they may call him "O Captain! My Captain!" (the title of a Walt Whitman poem) if they feel daring. His first lesson is unorthodox by Welton standards, whistling the 1812 Overture and taking them out of the classroom to focus on the idea of carpe diem (Latin for 'seize the day') by looking at the pictures of former Welton students in a trophy case. In a later class Keating has Neil read the introduction to their poetry textbook, a staid, dry essay entitled "Understanding Poetry" by the fictional academic Dr. J. Evans Pritchard, Ph. D., which describes how to place the quality of a poem on a scale, and rate it with a number. Keating finds the idea of such mathematical literary criticism ridiculous (calling it "excrement") and encourages his pupils to rip the introductory essay out of their textbooks. After a brief reaction of disbelief, they do so gleefully as Keating congratulates them with the memorable line "Begone, J. Evans Pritchard, Ph. D" (much to the surprise and disbelief of one of Keating's colleagues). He later has the students stand on his desk as a reminder to look at the world in a different way, just as Henry David Thoreau intended when he wrote, "The universe is wider than our views of it" (Walden).
The rest of the movie is a process of awakening, in which the boys (and the audience) discover that authority can and must always act as a guide, but the only place where one can find out one's true identity is within oneself. To that end, the boys secretly revive an old literary club in which Keating had been a member, called the Dead Poets Society. Todd experiences a particular transformation when, out of a severe episode of self-consciousness, he fails to complete a creative writing assignment and is subsequently taken through an exercise of uncharacteristic self-expression, realizing the creative potential he truly possesses. One of the boys, Charlie Dalton, takes his new personal freedom too far and publishes a profane and unauthorized article in the school flyer. In this article, Charlie states that he wants to have girls allowed at Welton. To the amusement of the other boys, he fakes a phonecall from God saying that girls should be allowed at Welton. Dean Nolan paddles and interrogates Charlie about the others involved. Charlie says he acted alone.
Neil, without his father's permission, tries out for a local production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. He desperately wants to be an actor, but knows his father (Kurtwood Smith) will disapprove. One day when Neil walks into his dorm room, he finds his father waiting for him. He orders Neil to withdraw from the play, but Neil goes against his wishes and delivers a sterling performance as Puck. Infuriated by this affront to his authority, Neil's father plans to pull him out of Welton and to enroll him in Braden Military School to prepare him for Harvard University and pursue a career in medicine. Unable to cope with the future that awaited him and equally unable to make his father understand his passion for acting, Neil commits suicide with his father's revolver.
By the request of Neil's parents, the headmaster holds an investigation into the tragedy. Nolan gets help from one of the students, Richard Cameron. When Charlie Dalton finds out that Cameron has not only squealed on them, but also blamed Keating, he furiously attacks his former friend, and is expelled from Welton.
Neil's parents take no responsibility for his son's death and instead holds Keating responsible. In Nolan's office, Todd is forced to regretfully sign a written confession casting blame on his former teacher. It is implied that the other students who are still faithful to Keating were similarly forced. Keating is accused of inciting the boys to restart the Dead Poets Society, and is fired, even though they recreated it themselves.
In the film's dramatic conclusion, the boys return to English class following Keating's termination. The class is now being temporarily taught by Nolan, who has the boys read from the very Pritchard essay they had ripped out at the start of the semester. As the lesson drones on, Keating enters the room to retrieve a few belongings. On his way out, Todd apologizes to Keating for having signed the confession, citing the force exercised by the Academy. Keating acknowledges this. Nolan sternly orders Todd to be quiet and demands that Keating leave at once. As he exits the door, Keating is startled to hear "Captain! My Captain!" being called out by Todd, who has stood on his desk as Keating bid him to do earlier, demonstrating the new perspective Keating has taught him. Enraged, Nolan warns Todd to sit down immediately or face expulsion, only to be defied. Then, one after another, the members of the Dead Poet's Society (except Cameron) climb onto their desks (the first exclaiming "O Captain! My Captain!"--the others silenty but resolutely) as a form of salute. The furious Nolan is defeated; he cannot expel half the class without compromising the school's image, and with it his reputation. Keating is touched and thanks the boys. He then leaves Welton for good, satisfied that the life lessons he has imparted to them have left their marks.

It was the first time that I found such an interesting book that I lost myself. After excluding more than ten books in the library, I finally chose the Dead Poets Society . As a matter of fact, I don't like the book containing a lot of tangled plots, such as Little Woman, I prefer educational books instead. I finished part of it after the Education Course. The next day, I spent two more periods on reading the book, without resisting my temptation, which as a result, made me finish 2/3 of it. What's more, I should laugh in the classroom, the first time I did it without consciousness. In that evening, I watched the movie, by the way I got to know something about the Midsummer Nights' Dream because the book has made use of one plot to present Neil's dream.
The main character in this book is Mr. Keating(miserable captain), with 10 more boys making up the Dead Poets Society. The story happened in Wilton Middle School. My favorite character is Neil, who is a student with a dream to be an actor in the future. However, grown up in such a strict family, he has no choice but to be an “A " student, that is to say, he does good in every subject. Actually, he is the representative of who to be sympathized in such a traditional and unbearable educational system. The book is written to criticize the school and the parents who oppress the new generation to do what they are interested in, likewise the movie (放牛班的春天), with the hatred and autocratic, fatuous headmaster!
The new English teacher uses a new way to impart his students with literature knowledge and hope,however ,he is the sacrifice of the book, because of the headmaster's negligence to force the students to admit that Keating is the organizer of Dead Poets Society, in the end he was kicked out of the school. He is, but the students will never betray him! The most exciting part is that at the moment when Keating walked out the classroom, students stood up on the desk to show their respect and obligation to Mr. Keating, beyond Mr. Nolen's control. They finally win the freedom and courage to oppose the depressing school!
In addition, this is a book with American's dream to convey the information that education is not an autocratic tool, instead, it is supposed to reflect the students' inner heart-what they really want is not the traditional method to stuff them with dead knowledge, instead, space to think individually and being a creative child in the fast paced society. Traditional educational system should be questioned and in the new era, mark is not the core, while the students' interest is the key of healthy development, otherwise, it would be a joke/talking about the military on the paper!

浅谈《死亡诗社》中基廷老师的教育思想
影片《死亡诗社》反映的是1959年美国贵族化的寄宿制威尔顿预备学院的教育情况,学院有着优美的环境、精良的师资和小班化的管理。《死亡诗社》是一部很有教育意义的美国电影。校长诺伦博士骄傲地强调:威尔顿是美国最好的大学预备学校,去年80%的毕业生考入了世界名牌大学。基廷先生是威尔顿的荣誉毕业生,之后又顺利升入剑桥大学,他能够非常深刻体味校长诺伦博士所说的学院一百年来始终坚持的四大信条:“传统、荣誉、纪律和卓越。”但他后来回到母校的教育的行动向观众展示了一种新的教育理念.,一种新的教育思想:“教育学生把握生命、追求自我,反对死气沉沉的传统教育。”
所谓传统,是一成不变的教育目标,死记硬背的教学模式;是青少年必须服从的传统。所谓荣誉,就是对于学校“辉煌”历史成就的捍卫,是校长的荣誉、教师的荣誉、家长的荣誉——恰恰不是学生需要的荣誉。所谓纪律,就是按部就班的课堂教学管理和严格的学习与生活时间的管理。这就是规则与体制,作为师长,作为父辈,他们自以为纪律的规定是出于保护孩子的目的。但是,为了升入名牌大学、他们压抑了学生的个性,牺牲了学生的兴趣爱好。与此同时,学生逐渐丧失了生命本质中的创造力、反叛力和活力。因此,学生们私下里咒骂威尔顿是地狱学校,并且离经叛道地篡改威尔顿的四大信条以示嘲弄。基廷先生也能够回应学生的感受:“我也上过地狱学校并且生存了下来。”
于是,基廷老师的第一堂课,不是讲授英文知识,而是让学生们细看大厅中陈列着的已故校友的照片。然后,在基廷老师的一番惊世骇俗的宣言在这些长期被窒息的心灵中无异于引发了一场地震。从此“CARPE DIEM”便成为许多人在需要做出人生选择时用以自勉的座右铭。“啊,船长,我的船长!”这是美国诗人惠特曼为悼念林肯而写下的著名诗篇。而在《死亡诗社》中,基廷老师则把自己比作“船长”。“如果大胆的话,你们可以叫我船长。”第一次,是“船长,我的船长”,引领学生深刻体味“Seizing the day”的本质内涵。
在另一堂课上,基廷老师打破了照本宣科的教学传统,他要求尼尔朗读教科书上一篇关于“如何理解诗”的导论,同时试图按照文章作者的思路以数轴的方法分析诗歌创作。但是,他马上思路一转:“鬼话!这不是在修木管,这是在谈诗。撕掉吧!”基廷老师语惊四座,学生们一下子愣住了,虽说他们暗地里十分不满保守枯燥的教学方式,但在课堂上早已习惯了循规蹈矩。现在要撕去这篇经典性的文章犹如去冒犯《圣经》。终于,一个叫查理的学生率先撕去了自己的一页。“刷”、“刷”小伙子们兴奋地响应起来。“撕吧!这是一场战争,它关系到你们的心智和灵魂,你们要学习独立思考。”在基廷的鼓励声中,胆小的托德也将那篇“鬼话”扔进了废纸篓。接着,基廷满怀真情地告诉大家,读诗并不是为了技巧,而是因为对人类充满了热情,所以每个人都要为生命贡献一首诗歌。显然,基廷让小伙子们感到他们没有白白扔掉那篇“鬼话”。此外,基廷老师公然站到了课桌上并问:“知道我为什么站到台子上吗?我是提醒自己,要用不同的角度看待事物。读诗的时候,不要只想到作者的见解,还要有自己的见解,要寻找自己的声音,要突破!”随着基廷的话音,男孩子们一个接着一个登上讲台。下课铃声响了,基廷临走前布置了一份作业,周一的课上,每人读一篇自己写的诗。托德最后一个战战兢兢地站到了讲台上。“我知道这项作业吓坏你了,托德·安德森。可怜虫!”基廷对懦弱并不宽容。
基廷老师的教育方法给死气沉沉的学院带来了强烈的冲击波:他鼓励用一个
崭新的视角去观察周围的世界;他向学生介绍了许多有思想的诗歌;他所提倡的自由发散式的思维哲学在学生中引起了巨大的反响。渐渐地,一些人接受了他,开始勇敢地面对每一天,把握自己的人生。他鼓励学生阅读课本中难以读到的思想色彩浓厚的诗歌;他鼓励学生怀疑权威、挑战传统;他鼓励学生寻找全新的视角去观察世界、观察生活;他鼓励学生深入内心,去发掘那个独一无二的自我??
如果说,这部片子里有两个截然不同的世界,那就是在一个束缚和压抑的世界里学生们像傀儡一样地在学习,而学生们内心渴望的是自由和激情的世界。基廷老师就是这两个世界的联系点。他是现实世界里的老师,是拥有现实世界里诸多光环的人,但他更是指引着学生发现并珍视内心梦想的舵手,帮助学生坦然面对自己、面对生命的友人。他教会学生用不一样的眼光看世界,做不一样的自己,挑战那些在别人眼里是金科玉律的教条。无论是让学生撕掉权威关于诗歌的评价而开始用自己的心去品读,还是让他们看到自己是如何随着别人的脚步改变自己的步伐的,基廷都用他的人格魅力感染这一群被压抑太久的年轻人,让他们恢复了飞翔的勇气和向往飞翔的激情。
尼尔在学校图书馆意外地发现了一本刊登着基廷简历的威尔顿年鉴。原来基廷曾是橄榄球队的队长,并参加过基廷的教育使得威尔顿的一切都在悄悄地发生着变化,就像基廷告诫学生们的那样,每个人都要寻找自己行走的步调,把握对生活的选择。“两条路在森林里分岔,我选择走人少的那条。”而学生们也认同了基廷老师是“船长,我的船长”。
这一切的变化,来自于船长的启蒙,来自于船长对水手生命力的激发。生命的天性、生命的梦想、生命的勇气、生命的爱情冉冉升起,如骏马在原野上驰骋,如群鸟在天空中展翅飞翔。生命的意义、教育的价值由此凸显。
影片以尼尔的自杀和基廷老师的被辞为结局,也许是借用了“凤凰浴火重生”的蕴意,正是影片名为《死亡诗社》的深刻的教育启示。
基廷老师的被辞,反映了勇于改革的真正教育者的势单力薄,反映了基廷的教育思想在世俗和功利主义的传统教育势力面前的无能为力。犹如盗火者给人们光明,而自己却永远只能背负着盗者的恶名,默默走开。但是,虽然基廷老师被辞退了,他却留给了学生光明的火种,点燃了心灵和头脑中如星光闪耀的火花。当同学们在那份给基廷老师定罪的文书上签字时,他们眼含热泪,心如刀割。当基廷老师最后一次走出教室时,大家终于不理睬诺伦校长“开除”的警告,而是发自内心喊出:“Oh Captain, My captain!”一个个站在桌子上向他们心中的船长告别。
由此看来,船长在精神上是胜利者。他赢得了学生发自内心的喜爱、尊重。他富于教育智慧的启蒙,唤起了学生生命的冲动,感性的、理性的、情感的、想象的,学生的潜能爆发了,学生的思维创新了,学生的情感丰富了,学生的个性凸显了,学生有了自己的兴趣、自己的思考和理想、自己的追求和思想。教育需要基廷这样的老师,学校需要基廷老师,课堂需要基廷老师,学生需要基廷老师。所以,真正符合学生发展的教育改革最终是不会被传统势力击垮的,相反,胜利的曙光必将来自于学生的喜欢与尊重。
