I absolutly LOVE Mr Keating, but if he did that impromtu poem scene to me I would never ever forgive him, no matter how good a teacher he might be, I definitely would've start crying on the spot.

Mr Keating.
Fucking.
Knew.
He knew full well that the anxious poet and the depressed theatre kid were unbelievably gay for each other.
God I’ll never get over these two-

The weird thing about being a dead poets society fan is that none of us wanted Neil to die, but he HAS to. It’s so weird that we’re drawn to the greatest tragedy that we don’t understand to push a message; would seizing the day and trying to be creative and yourself in a broken system actually move any of us to tears if I didn’t end in the death of one of the boldest characters?
Also, would it hurt this much if it wasn’t suicide? If he had been murdered, would it feel different? Would it feel more like he was robbed rather than left with no other option? Would the meaning of the movie mean less without his suicide? I think the answer is clearly yes, but from a narrative standpoint even though it would change little with how the movie ended (I think) it would be such a different experience as a viewer

Thinking about Neil from dead poets society and how in the beginning of the movie mr. keating does the iconic "poetry, beauty, romance, love. These are what we stay alive for"
Then at the end of the movie after Neil's dad stops him from acting, he dies. Neil didn't have love and he wasn't allowed to experience the poetry and beauty of his passion. So he didn't stay alive.
And I think it's what really makes this movie great, showing how without our creative passions, we're nothing but unhappy machines stuck in a never ending loop of monotony that isn't worth living in.
Which can also be applied to today and how everything is based on numbers, no big media company creates just to create anymore. They take numbers and just make something that The Numbers say will make them the most money.

It's not controversial to say that Neil was going through some big feelings in Dead Poets Society. But despite that, the only place we ever see him crying is in Keating's office. Because that's the only place he feels safe enough to be vulnerable.
ow.
