Instead of using the official trailer of the film, I chose to show you a (yes, rather long but definitely brings the point across) video clip from the film itself. The official trailer is seriously doing a disservice to the movie! The movie is more inspirational and serious than comical like it was portrayed in the trailer.
Carpe diem, seize the day! This movie stars Robin Williams as Professor John Keating, a teacher with unconventional teaching methods who joins a traditional boarding school well-known to produce excellent students. Of course, for a school so deeply entrenched in traditional values that students are expected to conform to, Professor Keating brings a new and refreshing perspective to his students, giving them motivation to follow their heart. His style of teaching is being frowned upon by other professors who have been with the school for a long time and whose mindset is aligned with that of the school, believing in conformity to a set of values that "guarantees" success in life.
Professor Keating's beliefs and style of teaching swayed some of the students in his class to start thinking more for themselves, and pursue their interests, making life way more interesting and joyful. However, in a society where people are generally old-fashioned in their thinking, such a deviant does not fit in well and his actions lead to consequences that gives the viewer an opportunity to decide for himself whether the protagonist's actions were morally acceptable. Enjoy the movie!
