These expectations usually affected by the film form techniques which had used since film form is capable of delivering messages to the audiences.

Isabella LaBianca English 2H, 5th Mrs. Miller Dead Poets Society “Dead Poets’Society”: IDK In the film, Dead Poets Society, Peter Weir illustrates the romantic elements of nonconformity and nature. As the film opens, Todd Anderson, a shy and lonely teenager, under pressure from his parents to succeed like his brother, arrives for the new semester at Welton Academy. He sees a different side to this strict school after the first day of English class with the new teacher, Mr. Keating. His first words of wisdom, perhaps the most important, to the boys are in his first lesson: “Carpe Dium lads! Seize the day!
His unorthodox methods not only taught the boys to think for themselves, but they also awoke the boys’ inner desires and dreams. This movie does an excellent job of portraying the school’s four pillars (tradition, honor, discipline, and excellence) and the four I’s (individualism, innocence, intuition, and imagination) through members of the Dead Poets Society, specifically Todd Anderson and Charlie “Nuwanda” Dalton. Todd Anderson showed the best understanding of the philosophies of transcendentalism, notably Ralph Waldo Emerson’s. Todd failed to follow Emerson’s philosophy of “Imitation is suicide” until the very last minute of the movie, when he daringly stood up on his desk and called out “Oh Captain, my Captain!” to Mr. Keating. He could not hold in his guilt anymore because he felt bad for conforming, or imitating, what the other members of the Dead Poets Society had done in Mr. Nolan’s office.
Simply stated, he is the man voted most likely to do anything in his senior yearbook. That anything turned out to be an English teacher, or better a life teacher, to a group of young men who were naive about the world they lived in and everything outside of their small boarding institution. Meet John Keating, the teacher played by Robin Williams in the influential movie Dead Poets Society. The teacher who used all aspects of the word ethos to motivate and transform his students’ lives. Ethos can be described as the nature, character, or unique values peculiar to a particular human being.
Domino This paper will through an analysis and discussion examine the stylistics aspects of the movie “Domino” by Tony Scott. Amongst these stylistic aspects, the dominant focus will lie upon mise-en-scene; sound and editing. First of all, the light- and colouring effects of Domino are observed to have a prominent appearance in the general expression of the movie, which shows that Tony Scott’s cinematography evidently constitutes a primary constituent of his artistic style, thus an analysis of mise-en-scène seems to be a reasonable element to investigate .The study will take part in 3 different scenes, where we will examine the stylistics aspects of the movie. The important part of Mise-en-Scene analysis is not just to identify the components within a shot. Our study will explain and interpret the meaning or the significance behind those components, and by then try to connect the shot to the themes of the film.
The movie Dead Poets Society follows a group of teens at a strict school who become heavily influenced by the transcendentalist philosophies of their new teacher, Professor John Keating. The values they are taught completely change their entire perspective and attitude towards life. For the most part this is a good thing, as the boys normally lead boring lives that they are bored with. They form a group known as the Dead Poets Society and their lives are immediately changed forever. They live by the philosophies of writers like Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson.
He subsequently learns that their affair began in reaction to another relationship, one carried on between Mr. Shears and Christopher’s mother, before she disappeared from Christopher’s life. At school, Christopher prepares for an A-level math exam that will enable him to attend a university, a feat no other child at his school has managed. He also continues to work on his book. Upon returning home one afternoon, Christopher accidentally leaves his book in plain view on the kitchen table. His father reads it, becomes angry, and confiscates it.
By telling them to rip the pages from their poetry textbook, he plants the seed of enthusiasm within each of them. They all have aspirations that have been crushed by the conformity of life and Mr. Keating helps them to realize their dreams. “Carpe Diem” becomes a central quote in the movie. Each boy soon seizes the day for himself. For the first time these boys come to the realization that they can be their own individual and that they can think for themselves.
Kirjan ENG-2D3 Cregan, N 11/13/2014 The film Dead Poets Society set in the year 1959 focuses on the painfully shy Todd Anderson who is newly enrolled in to Welton Academy, and his roommate Neil Perry who is exceedingly bright and popular, while under the thumb of his over-bearing father. The two, along with their other classmates, meet Professor John Keating, their new English teacher who tells them of the Dead Poet Society; the boys reach over their dream’s and in their own way each of their lives have changed. The element of sound brings a burst of excitement, a hold of suspense, and a grudge of terror as it assembles the very scene we are awaiting. Peter Weir the director of Dead Poets Society has used this element to maximum perfection in this film; he was able to adorn each astonishing scene with an impeccable tune. When Neil Perry is up late at night, just after his dad harshly instructs him to take part in military school and medical school, we don’t know what is going to take effect.
