@robinwilliams: “No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world." - John Keating, Dead Poets Society 🎥: Dead Poets Society (1989) In this coming-of-age drama directed by Peter Weir, Robin Williams plays John Keating, the new English teacher at a prestigious and stifling New England boarding school. Once a student there himself, he decides to use unconventional methods and a deep love of poetry to inspire his students to pursue their dreams and seize the day. “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

There will never be as amazing an actor or man as Mr. Williams in my book ❤️

Jill :

My former sophomores watched this movie in one of their classes their junior year. They later walked into my room during lunch, took their seats, and gifted me with their version of this scene. It was the only time I cried in front of my students

🦋 :

I'm not crying you are 😪

Kelly Kilpatrick :

One of his greatest movies. May he rest in eternal peace.

Jaclynn Greer :

Oh how I miss his ability to captivate my mind and imagination… he truly was and continues to be at the top of my list of favorite people on this planet… We miss you Robin! 💜

Demi :

I miss Robin Williams [Teary eyed]

Cat5HomeNL🇪🇺🇳🇱 :

Never seen this movie, should I?

Amy In Ohio :

Fun fact: I was 15 when this came out, and worked at a movie theatre. I hadn’t seen the movie and people were waiting for me to rip their tickets. People were asking if it was good and I said “Are you kidding? It has Robin Williams in it! It HILARIOUS! You’ll die laughing the whole time!” My boss heard me and told me to leave before the movie let out so no one beat my ass 😂

FDT MAGA sucks :

I loved this movie so much!!!! Such a great story and Robin Williams was truly meant for this role! How much we’ve missed out on with his passing…..

anniejergenson7 :

I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to cry today.

Djneth 767 :

All it takes is one person with some courage that whole movie was about that it’s about being courageous, stepping outside of the boundaries that society may set up upon you. That’s why that scene is so important. He was trying to teach something to these boys so they could become men and they stood up on their desks and took the first step on what it means to be a man.

Rich The Diabetic | T1D :

The greatest scene in movie history.

Jazmond Murphy :

Mr. Williams, I never had the pleasure of meeting you in real life, but you’ve been a part of mine everyday for the last 37 years. I cried when you left, I still cry thinking of every laugh you gave me when I was a kid. You made a difference Mr. Williams. Not just on the screen, but in every home your booming voice and moment of understanding you showed us. Thank you for raising us. O Captain My Captain.

ricardoshillishally :

Unpopular opinion…I don’t understand the hype about this movie, I didn’t enjoy it.

Sprudel Wasser :

Es tut mir um jeden leid, der den Sinn dieses Films nicht verstanden hat. Für mich immer unvergessen und auch heute noch traurig, dass das Leben ihm zu schwer wurde.

Heike Klapper :

Ich heule jedesmal bei dieser Szene 😭

Annie Edwards :

Scene still makes me cry
