That reputation is tested with the arrival of John Keating, a teacher who teaches his students the value of Carpe Diem, seizing the day.
The boys discover that there was a secret club at the school called "The Dead Poets Society" when the school was first opened. The controversial flame is lit to the rafters when the boys decide to recreate the club. There they discuss poetry,freedom,philosophies, and life.
For some reason the fact that the students challenge the status quo and with it the school's long held reputation angers administration. The Dead Poets Society becomes seen as a threat to them, because they don't see it as anything more than a den of teenage indulgence.
The boys however see it differently, they see it as it really is, a place where they can be themselves. A place they can go for inspiration,discussion and fellowship. In the wake of the controversy between the D.P.S. and the school, and in looking to blame someone for something they don't comprehend, the administration focuses it's attention solely on Mr. Keating.
I recommend you see the film to learn more and to find out the fate of the D.P.S. as well as Mr. Keating. If you are one who is looking for inspiration, if you like a movie with a good plot, go check it out.
