Life's Little Beauties Are Too Sweet To Not Be Sampled And Savored

at Welton academy

straight up killing it

and by "it" haha let's justr say

my poets

this may need some work shopping

my shaylaaa

it happened

boys are evil and don't appreciate art

it's absolutely soul crushing to share a piece of media with someone who doesn't appreciate it. i often find it difficult to connect with my younger brother without having shared media to discuss. so I finally showed him my favorite movie, dead poets society of course, and his reaction was to call Neil stupid and say that the overall film was "ok, kinda funny sometimes". meanwhile I had cried twice and was shaking and sobbing.

it's ok. he's not an artist. it didn't move him the way it moved me and it doesn't have to. and yet I find myself disappointed and upset that he'll never want to "carpe diem" or suck the marrow out of life. that he'll never let out a barbaric yawp or be good REALLY good.

i dunno. just thoughts

“that character is problematic” i am sick and twisted. next

because dps and the tiktok ban have been consuming my thoughts

Why should I watch dead poets society..?

It is a beautiful film both in terms of the visual storytelling and the actual writing and themes

It has romantic subplots but overall centers friendship

It speaks to the human experience as a whole but especially to artists, the sacrifices and pain that come with passion

Standout acting performance by Robert Sean Leonard both in the film itself and the play within it

It genuinely helped me want to live during a difficult time in my life and reminds me to KEEP living and to stick to my morals and passions despite convention and tradition

Man killed himself exactly how I expect a theater kid would. Dramatic ass.
