Gale Hanson's (Charlie/Nuwanda) last acting credit, per IMDb, is from 1998 as "Security Guard" on Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction, the worst syndicated show in television history.
i forgot how much i loved this movie when i first saw it. i was in 8th grade and now i am a senior in high school. the characters and the meanings behind everything is so amazing.
THIS MOVIE HAS HORRIBLE SOUND EFFECTS. WHEN THE CREEPY VOICE COMES ON AND WHISPERS CARPE DIEM IT'S OBVIOUSLY ROBIN WILLIAMS WHISPERING THAT. I CAN SEE HIS MOUTH MOVE. THIS ISNT A GOOD HORROR MOVIE AT ALL, ITS MORE OF A DRAMA COMEDY.
Just now caught the tragic foreshadowing at 5:17...."Each and every one of us in this room is, one day, going to stop breathing...turn cold...and die"....right as the camera focuses on Neil :(
I´ve always been wondering, isn´t the real term "cape diem" without the r? it comes from the latin word "capere" and as far as I know the imperative doesn´t have an r, but I might be wrong :)
@DragonStyler3117 I've used the phrase 'carpe diem' around my Latin nerd friends and they never said anything to the contrary, and I know at least one of them has 1000 note cards on Latin words so I'm fairly certain 'carpe diem' is correct
man mr. keating is such a great teacher.....public high school across america needs better teachers like these....i know if were to become a teacher, i could be as good as mr. keating........robin williams did a good job acting as a great teacher.......good job man!
I went to a school like this (Austin Friars, Carlisle) and remember sneaking out at night to go and see this in town. It had a huge effect on me then and although now I see it as slightly trite at the time I thought it of great importance.
@mickety2001 i also, quite recently, attended a school like this. (poole house, durham) and i found this film to be very inspirational.
but i dont think that just because time has passed, it now is trite.. it's just as inspirational and affecting to students today, as it was to you back then.
Really? That's your qualm? This was a movie based in the 1950s in a New England suburb based around a preparatory school populated by only those who fit the standards set forth by that administration. Had nothing to do with color, rather, educational abilities and those who could foot the bill.
Its hard to have a teacher like Keating in this day and age,
the U.S. education system has become incredibly conservative and get their panties in a bunch when teachers come along who press their students to ask questions.
I never did well in school until Mr. Sitler and Mrs. Dimmsdale came along, they inspired me to do well in school, even put the idea of college in my head. Mrs. Dimmsdale retired and I left my old high school leaving behind Mr. Sitler, after that it wasn't the same, no inspiration, no motivation.
i went to the 10 cent store to buy some socks...but the woman there felt sorry for me and let me have them for 8. I still can't decide who got the better end of the deal.
Anyone else break into a stirring rendition of "Seize The Day" from Newsies as soon as Mr Keating said "Carpe diem"? Anyone? No? Just me then. All righty...
I, too, had a teacher like him. I owe every A that I got to her :)
I have a teacher like that..she is my Drama and English Literature professor at the University..we're performing Tennessee William's "Sweet Bird of Youth" and then we will be studying Shakespeare and she is the one who is coordenating all of these things..she is amazing..she makes you want to enjoy life more.."Carpe Diem" indeed..5 seconds talking with her and you feel like you can do anything..
This is like, the most inspirational movie ever. Neil just seems like the perfect roommate and friend, Todd's just too cute and shy, Charlie's funny, but deep down really cares, Meeks and Pitts are pretty nice, and Knox seems like a really good friend, even if he is a hopeless romantic. And Cameron...yeah well, we won't talk about him. I've always wanted to just teleport myself into this movie...if Welton accepted girls that is...
@MewMinto34 EXACTLY how i feel!!! i literally thought the same thing...wishing welton temporarily accepted girls :) i love ALL of them (but cameron) if only i were part of this movie :(
My philosophy teacher is just the same as Mr.Keating...this might be the moment to mention that my teacher's an (ex) pot-Head xD non the less the BEST teacher I've ever had :) He and well Mr.Keating inspired me to be a teacher as well.and i already Know that I'd do anything to become such an amazing teacher as Keating ...even though he's a fictional character xD thnx for uploading ;)
Every student needs a teacher like Mr. Keating who opens his mind. Was a very sad day for me when she left the school and my affection to classic poetry died with her replacements, who couldn't reach her level in the slightest.
i think too much emphasis is put on the teacher, even at this age in the movie, to hold the students hand and lead them along. saul williams says, "your current frequencies of understanding outweigh that which has been given for you to understand; the current standard is the equivalent of an adolescent being restricted...to a diet of apple sauce and crushed peers." -- teachers will only show you to the door; the journey is yours.
my senior, i fell apart due to some personal problems. i became more rebellious. my eyes opened to certain things, but it also could be said that i closed my eyes at other things - chiefly my responsibilities and priorities. i repriortized. one day in Lit class my teacher, who hailed from south carolina, decided that it was necessary to read a poem by yeats with an irish accent. i made up my mind right then and then there that school was bullshit, and i didn't return.
i woke up every morning and caught the bus, went to school, but immediately left for a nearby cemetary where i'd hang out all day reading poe, whitman, emerson; i wrote poetry, stories, and a play. was i worth it? i failed and was forced to attend summer school to graduate - fuck yes it was worth it. i made up my mind for something i believed in (even if my beliefs might have been skewed). i followed my heart without remorse. carpe diem.
that's your opinion, dude. and of course you're entitled to it.
that was my journey, man. i chose the path i thought was best. this is what being a 'rebel' means. didn't you get the memo? being a rebel doesn't mean going around with a negative attitude, calling everything 'gay'. that's called being 'dipshit'.
but, then, that's just my opinion...and you're damn right, i'm going to impose it.
@defiantwon33 Yeah. I am the same way. I am the type that sneaks out during a social event by myself just to get away from the chaos and find a more simple place to ease my mind.
haha. i hope you're just being sarcastic because there are quite a few typos. but to answer your question, no, i have never been published. i do enjoy writing poetry though. thanks for reading.
@defiantwon33 Oh, it's not about the typos... It's about the point you were making. Check out the site Duotrope if you don't know it, and switch the setting at the top to 'Poetry'. Maybe it could serve as a good engine.
where did you find the courage to do it? i wanna know...i want to be exactly like that. i have my heart set on something but everything around me pulls me away and i dont know how ill survive...not to mention im attending a girls boarding school next year :\ any suggestions? and how old are you now?
i wouldn't call it courage -- even a cowardly private can be the first to pick up his gun and charge an enemy after listening to bullets fly over his head long enough. it's a matter of how much you are willing to take before you attempt to affect a change; but also bearing in mind, the change you might affect could serve to produce a worse situation than the one from whence it sprung.
i don't really know about your situation, but i suppose i would offer you the same advice that mr. keating offers neal in regards to his father and the play: if you don't like the situation, talk to them about it. tell them how you feel. any additional steps would depend on your age, and other things.
it should also be known that sometimes in life we need to 'suck it up and drive on'. it's difficult, i know.
i talk to my mum a lot about all of this and shes exactly the same but i think she only really cares about being "an artist" and "standing out" that doesnt bother me whatsoever. if youre special, you dont have to do anything/ people will just see it. anyway, ive spoken to her but my only two options are to stay here (in possibly the most depressing inescapable prison on earth) or go to boarding school. but i dont want to do either....and shes not giving me any more options
personally i'd go for the boarding school. get out of the house for a bit. might put things in perspective regarding your own personal "Denmark". life rarely gives us perfect conditions, so we must make the best of what we got. good luck.
yeah...but sure the best solution for my torture isnt time.....time takes forever! but thanks for the advice. to me, you could ace all your classes and earn a phd in physics (dunno what that actually means haha), but not many ppl id know with these things would seem smarter than you, the one who did whatever he could to avoid it. ahahaha funny that?
to a certain 'degree', degrees are overrated: someone spends up to or upwards of $250,000 for a degree they'll never use; somebody else goes out and gets a library card for a dollar and reads voraciously on the topics which interest him.....who's smarter? i personally don't agree with the relationship between education "and getting a good job". that idea is a plague on society.
....i'm not really sure why you think i avoided education. i never once said that. what i did was rebel against the idea that an education was what i was being offered in high school. it wasn't -- kids are being conditioned to fall in line. a majority of teachers do not teach to educate; they teach to keep their pass/fail ratio in good standing so they can continue to have a job. retention means nothing to most of them. naturally, there are exceptions, but they are few and far.....
exactly! ive learned so much more reading edgar allan poe than i ever had sitting in class listening to a teacher babble from a textbook....if you dont mind my asking, what do you do now??? you dont have to answer at all, its just interesting to me :)
wait what??? what are you talking about! im being serious! i love thailand. bangkok was fantastic and fun and lively! i dont understand what you're talking about! i think its absolutely amazing how you've taken your life into your own hands. there was zero sarcasm or cynicism in any of what ive said. honest! scouts honor! i think it reallly is amazing. and im sincerely happy you know what you want in life and thats gotten you as far as actually BEING happy. a rarity for society :)
i suppose you think you're pretty clever. very witty. but consider: i empathized with you. i tried to offer you advice betwixt the masque of your feigned sincerity. my own personal opinions were: what the fuck is this little girl whining about? --- so i suppose we're both guilty of masqued sincerity. but whereas you are a-little-girl, i am a grown man. i have kids. tell me, what school of logic do you hail from that promotes the idea that, in Thailand.....

....to work for a school i could max my salary out at maybe about 50,000 baht/month, or i could increase that sum to 200,000 baht by doing what i do....hmmmm. run along little girl. the world is a little bigger than your high school campus.
True, but I think this movie, or the idea of this movie, inspires the 10% that would die for that daily motivator of a teacher. Especially in the world we live in; you're right about that 90%, and they sure know how to bring everyone(including themsevles down).
thank you so much for this!

that was my journey, man. i chose the path i thought was best. this is what being a 'rebel' means. didn't you get the memo? being a rebel doesn't mean going around with a negative attitude, calling everything 'gay'. that's called being 'dipshit'.
but, then, that's just my opinion...and you're damn right, i'm going to impose it.

@defiantwon33 Yeah. I am the same way. I am the type that sneaks out during a social event by myself just to get away from the chaos and find a more simple place to ease my mind.

@defiantwon33 That's one of the greatest paragraphs I ever read. Curious... Ever have anything published?

haha. i hope you're just being sarcastic because there are quite a few typos. but to answer your question, no, i have never been published. i do enjoy writing poetry though. thanks for reading.

@defiantwon33 Oh, it's not about the typos... It's about the point you were making. Check out the site Duotrope if you don't know it, and switch the setting at the top to 'Poetry'. Maybe it could serve as a good engine.

i wouldn't call it courage -- even a cowardly private can be the first to pick up his gun and charge an enemy after listening to bullets fly over his head long enough. it's a matter of how much you are willing to take before you attempt to affect a change; but also bearing in mind, the change you might affect could serve to produce a worse situation than the one from whence it sprung.

i don't really know about your situation, but i suppose i would offer you the same advice that mr. keating offers neal in regards to his father and the play: if you don't like the situation, talk to them about it. tell them how you feel. any additional steps would depend on your age, and other things.
it should also be known that sometimes in life we need to 'suck it up and drive on'. it's difficult, i know.
as for me, i'm 35.

wow....
i talk to my mum a lot about all of this and shes exactly the same but i think she only really cares about being "an artist" and "standing out" that doesnt bother me whatsoever. if youre special, you dont have to do anything/ people will just see it. anyway, ive spoken to her but my only two options are to stay here (in possibly the most depressing inescapable prison on earth) or go to boarding school. but i dont want to do either....and shes not giving me any more options

personally i'd go for the boarding school. get out of the house for a bit. might put things in perspective regarding your own personal "Denmark". life rarely gives us perfect conditions, so we must make the best of what we got. good luck.

yeah...but sure the best solution for my torture isnt time.....time takes forever! but thanks for the advice. to me, you could ace all your classes and earn a phd in physics (dunno what that actually means haha), but not many ppl id know with these things would seem smarter than you, the one who did whatever he could to avoid it. ahahaha funny that?

to a certain 'degree', degrees are overrated: someone spends up to or upwards of $250,000 for a degree they'll never use; somebody else goes out and gets a library card for a dollar and reads voraciously on the topics which interest him.....who's smarter? i personally don't agree with the relationship between education "and getting a good job". that idea is a plague on society.
defiantwon33 4 months ago
....i'm not really sure why you think i avoided education. i never once said that. what i did was rebel against the idea that an education was what i was being offered in high school. it wasn't -- kids are being conditioned to fall in line. a majority of teachers do not teach to educate; they teach to keep their pass/fail ratio in good standing so they can continue to have a job. retention means nothing to most of them. naturally, there are exceptions, but they are few and far.....

i suppose you think you're pretty clever. very witty. but consider: i empathized with you. i tried to offer you advice betwixt the masque of your feigned sincerity. my own personal opinions were: what the fuck is this little girl whining about? --- so i suppose we're both guilty of masqued sincerity. but whereas you are a-little-girl, i am a grown man. i have kids. tell me, what school of logic do you hail from that promotes the idea that, in Thailand.....

@wargod123480 C'mon now....if we truly had teachers like that in HIGH
SCHOOL we would have done everything in our power to evade them!
90% or more of high school students don't have a "passion" or maturity
level to permeate the clutches of the disease known as peer presure and
overpowering ridicule that is coupled along side with it.

Most do. Most also need motivation, which is what this movie portrays.

True, but I think this movie, or the idea of this movie, inspires the 10% that would die for that daily motivator of a teacher. Especially in the world we live in; you're right about that 90%, and they sure know how to bring everyone(including themsevles down).
YAWP!
