My english teacher is showing clips of this movie. She said the name of the movie and I'm like "Never heard of it" and then she shows a few clips and I'm like "Oh wait I've watched this before!". I love this scene. And I dunno why, but "yawp" is a fun word to say. Is it just me? Anyways, love this movie, probably one of the only "older" movies that I like.
@seoul2k11 the restrictions of tradition they all encounter, made obvious by pre-determined lives and paths chosen by parents earlier in the movie...banker....lawyer...doctor...you have to watch the whole movie.
Wow, I've never seen this movie sadly, but my forensics coach used to make us YAWP before speech tournaments, now that I know why I'll call him on his unoriginality or nostalgia.
Geez, I remember watching this in school, loving it, and hating the ending. I wonder if I could watch it now and get passed the ending to ultimately enjoy the movie.
Whoa i love this scene ! Ethan Hawke is such a great actor, and Todd's SO cute, he really is a character i can relate to ... God i just adore this movie -3 but it is so sad...
There's something about this part that almost brings me to tears every time I watch it. I was always Todd in school, but now I'm a little better. I remember watching this in class and thinking why can't all teachers be like that?
Best scene EVER. This was my favorite movie for soooo long. And it really hit me so hard cuz I had just begun to write poetry and lyrics right before it came out in 89
@sagn Poetry is just a romantic way of putting feelings and ideas into words. It doesn't have to rhyme at all! However, If rhyming is the effect you want to have on people, then make it rhyme.
I close my eyes and this imagine floats beside me a sweaty-toothed madman with a stare that pounds my brain his hands reach out and choke me and all the time he's mumbling mumbling truth truth like a blanket that always leaves your feet cold you push it, stretch it, it'll never be enough you kick at it, beat it, it'll never cover any us from the moment we enter crying to the moment we leave dying it'll just cover your face as you wail and cry and scream
I love how Todd thinks he's worthless and then just says something that stuns you. He can see and articulate something others can't but he's got to see himself too.
"Mr. Anderson thinks that everything inside of him is worthless and embarrassing, isn't that right Todd, isn't that your worst fear? Well I think you're wrong, I think you have something inside of you that is worth a great deal." You gotta love the way Keating encourages his students instead of ranking down on them for not doing their assignment.

@summertaylove I love those few seconds when he finishes and opens his eyes. He fears he's gonna be ridiculed as the whole class stares at him in total silence, then they break out in cheers and applause and he feels great.
@thecoffster182 Todd was me to the tee - at school - its scary!!! This was just like my English literature lesson - except the teacher wasnt as sympathetic and as encouraging as what Robin Williams is portraying here
But the world doesn't work like that! Only movies do. So what use is it, if it reflects only upon itself. Art drawn on art is a waste of time ... Go outside and watch the world if you would learn. And it's free.
I like to barbarically yawp "fml" from time to time...
