"Carpe diem. Seize the day." - Dead Poets Society

Actually this film was supposed to be set in 1959 (though filmed in 1989). The oldest these yearbook photos could possibly be is from 1900; prior to that such things were very rare. Therefore that would make those in the photos in their 70s, i.e. most of them would still be alive.

Beautiful..the ultimate truth of life..

This is supposed to be inspiring but it's also so depressing. How extraordinary can you make your life be. All these billions of people dead. Dead forever. They don't knkw who they are in the pictures. And even if they remember you so what. And for how long.. how many people from the 9th century do we rememebr every day. 100? 50? 5? Most will say zero. Out of many nany millions. All we are is dust in the wind
So what's the point to begin with. Maybe if they achieve singularity suddenly life will be forever and it will be okay. But this. What's really the point

The greatest film scene .....of all time.

Fuck i miss Robin

I love this rt here.❤

I revisit this scene when I feel lost and it reminds me, to keep on your path. Inevitably all trails lead to the dirt nap.
"Seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary!"

Another man destroyed by divorce and child support.
Worm food indeed.

Beautiful .i am really sorry robin ..you were amazing. Love your works

Masterpiece !!!

I think what really stands out for this film to me, is the random beautiful shots of the grounds and outdoor areas. Just a wonderfully crafted film as well.

Because of this film, I first watched as a lad back in the 1980s, I have lived by this creed. I'm overjoyed to report that my life has been, indeed, extraordinary 😊

This scene messed me up, in a good way I guess. Made me realize that I've been living very passively as if things won't end, hit with an avalanche of regret and realization the past few days. We all know it ends and to make the most of things, but knowing versus true understanding, feeling and realizing are different. Thank you Robin Williams, literally changing how I live from now on with a completely new perspective. Only thing is I wished I saw this sooner. Should've seen it in school.

I never noticed that (I believe) one of the photographs shows the year 1902. The movie was set in 1959. So, many of those guys may not have been worm food, but only in their mid 50's. But of course, the message is for us, not those boys.

People have no respect for teachers. 'Those who can't do, teach' They are treated like the failures of society and paid badly. The students are generally treated like customers and the bosses. 99% of students don't give a shxt - This is Hollywood. No? OK when you meet soemoen whos says they are a teacher, do you think - this person is one of life's winners?

Is tjat the fuy from house

Amen!

Happy Anniversary June 2 Dead Poets Society RW You’ve seized the day Oh Captain my Captain ❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹

This school definitely needed women. This is what happens when its a sausage feast

Carpe Diem : )

watched this movie last year, truly one of the best ive ever seen. but although i was straight faced the entire gun scene, todd vomitting afterwards is what got me to start sobbing and nearly needing to leave the room!! (emetophobia)

Emergency medical services

Got your EMS

Now that Robin passed away, this scene hits even harder for me.😢💔

It’s a harsh bitter truth, but true it is. Eventually our time expires and we take eternal rest in the dirt. But that just makes life that much more beautiful. Living life to the fullest, seizing each day while you still can.

I love this movie so much, and I remember this scene so vividly. I paid very close attention, and I have based my entire life around this one scene. Carpe Diem, "Seize The Day", "Because Tomorrow May Not Come." I'll be 68 years old in 17 days and I still live my life one day at a time and enjoy every moment. I don't take anything in life for granted. Tonight is movie night for me and I'm going to watch "Dead Poets Society" for the umpteenth time. I'll be enjoying my two slices of pizza and a cold Pepsi, while watching the late, great Robin Williams perform his magic. I didn't know him, but I miss him. It's movie time.

.

10 years today, I’ve done my best to live by these words. Carpe diem, seize the day. ✊

I love this movie

Ethan hawke was so young

The ticking clock was a brilliant way to close the scene. "Seize the Day boys." Tick tock tick tock.

I'm getting 40 guys, having kid, married... I can tell you... you'll still remember your years in high school, university as if it was yesterday... scary! but the difference ? You'll see more wrinckles on your friends face on FB, Insta... or the worse, is maybe, you'll find an old friend that you haven't seen him/her for 20 years... and suddenly you find him/her, and with your memories like before (you actually kept the image of your friend young in your mind) , you will say "oh shit! we're really getting older" lol

I honestly dont know how to Mr Williams, this message has played in my head for 8 years and i cant figure out what im meant for, although i live every day to the fullest, i enjoy the smallest moments, from conversations to walks alone to even thoughts of thinking about someone. i love every moment that i can love. But for self goals, for a career, for passaions, i dont know myself enough.
i try and try to figure it out but my mind is blank. i think i like photography, but all i have is a phone. ive tried YT but lost all motivation, im in college for someone i have no interest in but it has the highest likely success rate of living like a average US citizen

IF youre young reading this, EVERY DAY put time aside for you to think about yourself and what you love and appreciate, the time you have with people is very limited and a lot of the times they are gone before you can say goodbye, even if it becomes boring try to stay in the moment, you will thank yourself one day.

MR ZEBELLI, THANK YOU FOR CHALLENGING OUR MINDS AND GUIDING US, THANK YOU FOR EDUCATING US

Did you ever notice the clock in the background?

Temet Nosce + Memento Mori > Carpe Diem.

I just watched It for the first time today without knowing too much and It completely subverted my expectations. What a thought provoking and devastating last act. Brilliant performances.
