  Robin Williams: who brought Koko the gorilla out of depression, who got Ethan Hawke his agent, who cheered up Steven Spielberg during the filming of Schindler's List, who kept Christopher Reeve's spirits up after his paralysis, who convinced Sharon Osbourne to resume chemotherapy. Lovely, lovely man.

  “I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way.” &nbsp;I used to feel that this movie was merely a sad one because of Neil&apos;s death. &nbsp;Then i think upon the final scene and realize that those who stood upon their desks and shouted &quot;O Captain, My Captain&quot; to Mr Keating now knew that their minds were free from the shackles of conformity enforced upon them by Hellton and their parents. &nbsp;Imagine the powerful verses that those seven or eight boys will contribute in the future.

  What I really hate is the thought that the Neil&apos;s father can be allowed to think it was Keating&apos;s fault and not his fault.

  The actress that played Neil’s mom did so well. &nbsp;She had such a small part but was so believable with her wailing after Neil’s death.

  After Robin Williams tragically committed suicide, social media was loaded with the final &quot;O Captain, My Captain&quot; scene. Fitting tribute.

  Norman Lloyd, who played the Headmaster, was an actor of immense range. In St Elsewhere he played Dr Auschlander, a character who was as kind and empathetic as his Dead Poets&apos; Headmaster was terse and cruel. Lloyd died in 2021 at 106 years old.

  My favourite detail of the students collective stand-up for Keating at the end is it was the boy who didnt have a voice at the beginning that led the charge.

  When Robin passed…EVERYONE worldwide was saying Captain, Oh Captain. Robin was the best.

  Both Todd and Neil were characters living lives of quiet desperation. It took Neil’s death for Todd to find his voice. Also another good inspiration movie by Robin Williams was “Patch Adams.”

  Standing on the desk is like when I did photography in college. We were taught that eye level is the most boring photo. Hold the camera up high or get on your knees and it&apos;s instantly a more interesting shot.
