The Dead Poets Society

brianlux

I don't know if the film "Dead Poets Society" has been mentioned here before but I'm throwing this out just in case it hasn't- it's one of my all time favorite movies.

Watching that movie always inspires me to live fully. I'm always grateful for the reminder: Carpe diem.

And of course, the film says so much about poetry. For me and I'm sure for many of you, poetry, like all the arts, is more than just noodling. Poetry is the story of our lives, the marrow in our bones, the songs we sing, whisper or scream. Poetry is flesh on paper. It is the rhythm of life and the marker on our grave. It's messages are carried on the air endlessly.

That's nice of you to say, Jason78. That movie is so powerful for me that whenever I watch it I think in poetic terms for a while. Beyond that, what I get most out of it is the reminder to keep going strong, to not waste my time, to hack rather than pack (thank you, Henry Rollins).
