This is one movie that has made my top ten best movie to watch list... so yes it's in the list alongside others such as the Shawshank Redemption, Remember the Titans, The Usual Suspect, Gattaca to name a few..Set in 1959 in an extremely traditional prep school in the US, it tells the story of how an English and Poetry teacher (played by Robin Williams) inspired and forever changed the lives of a group of his students... by means of unorthodox methods of teaching, this teacher challenges all that the boys knew about life... I won't spoil the story for you in case you want to watch it or read the book... but here are some lines from the movie that will surely give you a taste of how artfully written the story was...
"Carpe Diem - Seize the Day"
"Did they wait till it was too late? to make of their lives just one iota of what they were capable of?
"Only in dreams are men truly free"
Really really inspiring movie about life, opportunities, finding who you are, and challenging perspectives... Watch it if you can!
