There is a myth that says " brown eyes used to shine like the moon; so to hide their charm they were coloured by the river of heaven's honey ".

Something that ironically stuck with me upon my first viewing of Dead Poets society was the scene of which the birds flying away after being chased. What at first glance seems like an insignificant scene meant solely to enhance the movie's visual effects ended up having deeper meaning than I had anticipated.
Birds are often associated with freedom and possibly unity due to their flocking behaviour. The lack of personality that the boys experience is symbolised by these birds. The birds are nearly always depicted in groups. With few differences between each individual bird, they move as a single unit. This is a representation of the boys' mindless compliance that their parents, the school, and, to some extent, even themselves, demand of them. In one moment in the movie, numerous flocks of birds are shown flying away. As the boys descend the crowded stairs on their first day, the boys' bickering is layered on top of the birds' bickering. The boys and the birds travel in unison with the flock, not asking any questions about their destination or reason. The boys are directly compared to birds in this scene. Despite the birds ability to fly out and be free in any direction, they are particularly compared to a flock of birds who stick together and mimic the flight patterns of those in authority. The boys can frequently be seen scattering the birds by running into them, forcing the birds to make their own judgements (as we can see with Knox riding towards them forcing the birds to move more haphazardly and by their own decisions) as they progress and adopt some of Mr. Keating's principles. In the end, this symbolises the boys' development and their foray into independent thought, showing them that they are capable of thinking for themselves and defying the herd in addition to holding on to conventional beliefs and flying with the flock.
To me, it's just beautiful how much effort was put into this film to bring it to life. How much meaning every frame holds.

I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.

a question for todd anderson
Have you ever given someone a Valentine?
He made something for Neil. It took a lot of effort, but eventually he had something close to his heart, laid out there on two or three pages, depending on how you looked at it. He'd never been good at making things, or drawing hearts, so Todd wrote a poem and grew flowers, behind a rocky overlook, something for a flower crown when Valentine's day rolled around. He wasn't thinking about the way the winter frost would kill the daisy sprigs. Neil was the first boy Todd had loved and he wanted to make it special. Todd didn't know if Neil had ever received a Valentine before - he was sure he had, he's not exactly unattractive - but somehow he thought…maybe Neil would just like it because it was him. He didn't write in calligraphy because Neil said he liked Todd's handwriting. For once, he was actually excited that the day was coming, so he could - show that Neil mattered enough for him to honor the traditions, just to be with him.
Neil was not here when Valentine's Day came around.

you deserve a calm love that's patient, caring & considerate. someone who never let's you sleep with a heavy heart or makes you question their loyalty. someone who motivates, supports and celebrates you. someone who makes promises and keeps them. A love you never have to heal from.

I see you,
I see through you,
I see what you wish to occlude,
I see the truth,
I see the void in your hearts and souls.
I see your degeneracy and your selfishness.
I see through the words you use,
As cover for your intentions,
As sure as the sun remains true,
I see the darkness inside all of you.
