Robin Williams portrays English professor John Keating, who, in an age of crew cuts, sport coats and cheerless conformity, inspires his students to live life to the fullest, exclaiming "Carpe Diem, lads!

Prep school boys are inspired by their new English teacher.
I've seen this before, many years ago, so I knew it was going to be Cliche Theater, joyless (despite a theme which is contrary to joylessness), and a collection of many of my bad movie pet peeves. What I hadn't remembered is just how boring it is on top of all that.
Enjoyment: D
estimated GPA (I only watched the first hour): 1.9/4 ( )
This is how I'll always remember Robin Williams, in a dramatic role that channels his lunacy into a teaching mode, without making his characterization seem subdued or watered down. Equal parts heartbreaking and uplifting, with an unbeatable ending. ( )

Keating: We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.
Keating: When you read, don't just consider what the author thinks, consider what you think.
Keating: Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary.
