I watched this movie so many times during scool. This is my personal opinion of it. Poetry helped catch your attention and makes you think really of what is going on. It helps people really think into it. -------
Live your life to the fullest without going overboard. Become an independent thinker and you will be very succesfull.

Hope this helped!
 
ya, the key is not Poet's, but Society. Compare it to Lord of the Flies, (LOL what a concept!) The creation of a society as a "rite of passage".
The boys' inspiration, seize the day, Walt Whitman--a mad man!, R. William's character: my Captain, Oh my Captain, DEAD MEN speak from the grave to the changes going on in the boys becoming men. The poetry holds, contains the, even the most bizarre of notions--to the dismay of the establishment, the sovereign powers of the private school. And the GORgeous ending, when the Actor(?) played Puck in the Midsummernights...etc. shoots himself...a denial of the possible--the struggle of life, of being, AND of becoming,smashed, bitterly, tragically, like the Dead Poet''s Society, whose mantel may be taken up in the future, perhaps one of the young men will return to teach.
