Description:
After his comedic performance in GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM, Robin Williams showed that he was just as adept at drama in DEAD POETS SOCIETY. As John Keating, an unorthodox teacher in a strict boys boarding school, Williams exudes warmth and wisdom and brings Tom Schulman's Oscar-winning screenplay to vivid life alongside a talented supporting cast of young actors. Confidently directed by the ever-versatile Peter Weir, this instantly-iconic film introduced many audiences to the phrase, 'carpe diem', or, 'seize the day'.
