@kaisamsa When I first saw this film, I was thinking the exact same thoughts as Jesse, as well.

I think exactly like Jesse. I think that the poet had written something before and just added the word milkshake xD. Anyways, fantastic movie, one of the best.

i never cared much for poetry but maybe because it was cuz i was reading from a book... when presented in this setting, this poem moves me to tears every time I hear/see it

A lot of great scenes in this movie, but this one is the one I revisit most! And yeah, the young poet is perfectly placed here, and he reads those lines beautifully!

The word 'milkshake' has been in my memory so many year.

i've seen this movie over a dozen times, and just noticed the continuity error at the end... Doesn't matter a bit.

I wonder what the poet smells like?
