Dead Poets Society Movie Analysis

Conclusion

Many leadership roles and group dynamics were observed. There were examples of conformity, acceptance, conflict, and conflict resolution. Many concepts in this film can relate back to TR such as being individuals, creative, thinking out side of the box, being accepting of new clients/residents, and looking at the world from different perspectives.

Characters & Roles

Charlie Dalton: Takes on the leadership role at the very beginning of the movie. Seems to be a very confident boy who is an extrovert and has a sense of humour . He is the one who takes the initiative in the group.

Neil Perry: Also a leader because he is the one who takes it upon himself to recreate the dead poets society, it was his idea and passion.

Todd Anderson: An introvert and a shy boy who would not try to make friends and instead keep to himself.

About The Film

Takes place in 1959 at Welton Academy in Vermont, an exclusive, all-boys prep school.

  • Agreeing on things as a team, and producing the best results when working as a team.
  • No matter how much work there is to be done, both groups try remain positive, help team members out, and give advice.
  • Group members that are similar yet so different in character.
  • Each member of the groups has a personal trait that will help the group succeed in their goals.
  • Groups are ever changing as they learn what it means to be an individual.

Professor Keating, a new English teacher and former student of the school, encourages students to go against the status quo. He inspires students to "seize the day," to stand up for what they believe and for who they are. Each, in their own way, does this, and are changed for life. Students resurrect a club from the school's past called the "Dead Poet's Society," where they meet in a cave to read poetry and have deep discussions. The students' newfound independence leads them to conflict with their parents and the school administration, ultimately leading to the suicide of one student and the firing of the teacher.

Differences

between the group in the film and our group

  • They are more conformed, we have much more individuality

  • Number of individuals in a group

  • The classroom environment was strict and the teaching was rigid with no alternative teaching styles. The schools culture expressed that conformity to tradition was the only way to gain acceptance (clearly very different from the classroom environment our group is accustomed to)
