❞Carpe Diem. Seize the day, boys.
Make your lives extraordinary.❞

I know this film teaches you to dream, but it also shows just how dangerous dreaming can be when the real world so often, effectively and nonchalantly kills every last bit of belief and hope we let ourselves have as kids, as we grow up. Neil’s death is unbelievably painful to watch now after the world lost one of its greats, sir Robin Williams, in such a similar fashion. I guess we’re all lucky to have an entire film dedicated to how incredible and inspiring that man was. O captain, my captain!

One of the greatest movies ever made. It starts off very nonchalant. But before you know it you're getting pulled in emotionally, empathy with the students and teacher is on overdrive. You feel what they feel. You cry what they cry. The way this movie grabs you without you even realising. It's a masterpiece. Some of the greatest directing and production you'll ever watch.

I've watched this movie more than 5 times and I cried in every single one of them. It is beautiful, amazing, inspirational and with a great message! Definitely a solid 10!
