ok so the only two scenes where we see Neil crying are in the comfort of Keating’s office and (a little bit) right before his death in the room with his father. Keating’s office is evidently the only place Neil felt safe as it’s where he went throughout the film to find comfort. So is it far fetched for me to say that the only places Neil found comfort were with Mr. Keating and in death?

Made this super fast

“I did my time” Neil did his time (jail) during all the years spent under his father’s control. He did his time, he should be able to be happy and run away now, right?

The dilemma of wanting to post DPS fanfics and headcanons but knowing I have created such an intricate and complex story in my mind that no one would understand it. :(

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-

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.

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

DPS: “Tortured Lovers”

I saw someone the other day say that Todd and Knox are both tortured lovers and I found that super interesting. I don’t think it’s a reach at all, I think they both represent the spectrum of love and heartbreak with their own respective relationships.

I think Knox and Todd both start out quite similarly in that they are both in love with someone they can’t have. Knox was in love with Chris who had a boyfriend and no real interest in him. Todd was in love with Neil which was doomed to fail one way or another.

They were both tortured for the exact same reason, they couldn’t be with the person they loved but I think they also represent the different kinds of tortured lovers if that even makes sense. They both start the film enamoured and eventually form relationships (one cannon, one heavily implied) and they behave similarly. Todd and Knox are mutually tortured lovers, both resorting to pining and hoping. But their biggest split is during the play.

The play, obviously, changes the entire film. Knox gets the girl, whilst Todd still watches and ultimately, Neil kills himself. Both of their relationships end so differently but they’re still tied together by the title of “tortured lovers”. Todd has to live without Neil, but Knox has to be with Chris quietly.

I just want to take a moment to kind of highlight Knox secretly being with Chris because even though it’s only a short clip of them together, it reminds me vaguely of Neil and Todd - the prospect of hiding away behind a crowd with the person you love so you don’t face negativity.

In a way, Knox and Todd remain as tortured lovers throughout the entire film but with entirely different endings to their stories. I think that just goes to show how succinct the film is in capturing all angles of love under one umbrella.

I posted this as a reblog with the original post but for some reason Tumblr crashed and deleted it so if the op sees this, hello thank you, this is dedicated to your post.

the passing of an object,

the passing of the torch, the passing of a legacy:

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.

Sorry for the awful handwriting I had to write it so fast and it was on a board so vibes.

1: bc I said so

2: I physically refuse

3: all his friends need to tell him how good the play was

4: I travelled universes and murdered mr. Perry in cold blood

5: Todd and Neil are very boyfriend material <3

6: after the play Mr keating adopts Neil and doesn’t get fired

7: Mr. Keating adopted him bc I murdered Mr Perry
