In the film industry in 1989, a film directed by director Peter Weir, "Dead Poets Society", attracted a lot of attention. The film tells the story of how John Keating, a literature teacher in the new semester, educates students ideologically, and deeply touches the hearts of the audience.
John Keating is a passionate and idealistic literature teacher who believes in the power of poetry to enlighten the souls of his students and enable them to better understand the world. On the first day of school, instead of following the usual procedure to introduce himself, he asked the students to address him "Captain". This move confused his students, but they soon understood the deep meaning of the title.
Mr. Keating's teaching method is very unique, he leads students to explore the world of poetry, so that they can feel the rhythm and beauty of poetry. He encourages students to think independently and challenge conventional ways of thinking, which allows them to grow into true thinkers under his guidance.
However, Mr. Keating's approach to education has also caused some controversy. School leaders felt that his teaching methods were too radical and did not conform to educational traditions. But Mr. Keating sticks to his philosophy, believing that the purpose of education is to develop students with independent thinking skills, not to make them test-taking machines.
There is a very touching scene in the movie where Mr. Keating leads the students to the school history gallery and asks them to read the alumni directory on the wall. When asked by a student why some people didn't leave their names on the list, Mr. Keating explained that these people were people who didn't make any achievements after graduation. This scene makes the audience deeply realize that a person's achievements are not only determined by his grades and status, but more importantly, whether he is able to think independently and pursue his dreams.
