This document provides an overview and summary of the film Dead Poets Society. It takes place at Welton Academy, an all-boys preparatory school, and focuses on Professor John Keating, an unconventional English teacher who inspires his students through his passionate teachings about poetry. He encourages the boys to seize the day and make their own choices rather than conform to society's expectations. The main characters include Neil Perry and Todd Anderson, who are deeply impacted by Keating's encouragement to follow their dreams. Scenes highlighted show how Keating's leadership and teachings empower the students to think independently.
