‘Dead Poets Society’ 30-Second Summary
In 1959 Vermont, a new English teacher, John Keating, joins the staff of the prestigious all boys preparatory school Welton Academy. Keating has an unusual approach to teaching and encourages individual thought over conformity. The boys take their teacher’s lessons to heart and begin to “seize the day” while also forming a secret poetry appreciation group, the Dead Poets Society. However, Keating’s lessons begin to draw the attention and ire of the school’s headmaster who believes that the boys are not ready for the dangerous idea of independent though.
