Damn What Was I On Lol

damn what was I on lol

my personal experience with DPS and other ramblings

my mother introduced me to the film when I was about 13 or so and I immediately latched onto it and made it part of my personality. i became an extremely pretentious high schooler and would unironically say shit about sucking the marrow out of life (and yes I am embarrassed about it now)

but when I was applying for colleges and I told my mom I wanted to be a theatre major she kinda lost her shit and told me that it was a stupid waste of time and money and i was absolutely GOING THROUGH IT

fast forward to now, I'm a junior in college (theatre major) and I watched DPS with my mom and my brother (his first time watching it) and I realized that my mom fundamentally misunderstood the point of the movie

I will never forget her telling me that she AGREED WITH NEIL'S DAD AND THAT KEATING WAS A DANGEROUS PERSON AND A BAD EDUCATOR

my brother who is into stem and is unappreciative of the arts anyway said that Neil was just kinda stupid and that the movie wasn't that good (????? major side eye on that one but whatever)

i just got so sad for little 17 year old me. she was incredibly sensitive and fragile and I just wonder had my mother been even just slightly harsher about me being a theatre major what would have happened to me?

then a few weeks ago I was talking to my friend. she's the type of person you don't have casual conversations with, you immediately dive into philosophy and morals and art and knowing each other's souls.

we got to the topic of dead poets society and the people who "just don't get it". the people who watch it once and never think about it again. the people who are so content that they are happy to remain stagnant. those who don't yearn for change, or to be known, to make art. those who are content to live and not

Live!!!!

and I'll never understand them and they'll never understand me. and the world will continue on like this. there will be people who stand still and those who can't stop moving

Hey, are you having a bad day? Did you know that the actor of Neil Perry, Robert Sean Leonard (Bobby) loves theatre more than acting in front of a camera? Bobby's love for theatre is just like Neil's love for theatre. <3

He also once played a teacher who cares for his struggling 17-year-old student.

Sounds familiar? Let me show you something...

bleed

carve your name deep in my flesh

drink my blood like a fine wine

make my skin your coat

for winter-time

knit my entrails into a scarf

wear my teeth on a silver necklace

blow me to bits, bite into my lips

i hunger to feel your reckless

cut my heart out and eat it on china

use my bones however you please

i live to serve, (or to be served )

for you I'll gladly bleed

an angelic silence

i cherish loneliness

i cling to it like apron strings

i crave it amidst the hurricane of company

the click of a lock, a clatter of limbs

a breath

and an angelic silence takes hold

everything cast in a buttery light of magma

and for a moment the screeching stops

and i'm not anything anymore

I think the most terrifying and devastating thing about Charlie's character arc is how quickly he became the defender, the hero, the fucking white knight. As soon as Neil was gone it was like he wanted to do EVERYTHING in his power to keep the others above water. No matter what.

It's like. You see this character where, the whole time, he has a cocky exterior, this evident facade—but despite that, it's so apparent that all that matters to him is his friends. And he doesn't know who he is, he doesn't know what he wants, but now one of them is gone—and his INNATE ROLE is to pick up the pieces. Because that's what he knows. In his eyes, it's his one and only value. Because if he can't be good for himself, he can be good for them.

And that's why his punishment earlier in the film gets me. Because he has to be okay. He has to keep himself from breaking. Because he's the brave one. If he breaks, they do too. It's because of that scene that everything he does at the end makes perfect sense. He was destined to fall. Just like Neil was.
