4,because it was good(welly writen),it gave us time to do nothing in class=), and it should us to belive in what we want.

ashley e said...

I would rate this movie a 4, because I thought that it taught us a lot, it was funny in some parts, and yet it was sad in others. It showed us how people deal with their fears. So, I did like the movie!

Sam W-LRT 7/8B said...

I really liked the dead poets society, I rate it a 5. The reason I liked this movie so much was:

1. it was very entertaining!


2. we didn't have to do homework besides blogging about it.


3. it told us not to only to follow the herd.

Celine H-LRT 1/2B said...

I thought that the movie was really sad, but it had a lot of meaning to it. I would probablly give it a 4.

It showed how to go against our fears

It told us to learn to think for ourselves

We didn't have to do homework on it

Chip 5/6B said...

I would rate it as a 4. Robin Williams was funny, and the movie over all was pretty good.

Kate b said...

4, is what i rate this movie because for one it was extreamly funny. and another because it was somthing that i think that we kind of can relate to, such as parent pressure or interesting teachers. and finally i think that i would say that i rated this one under a five because it was a little werid to watch.

Jane D-LRT 7/8B said...

I thought the movie in itslef was a little old fashion for my taste but it was a good example of real life fears. I would give this movie a 4. I liked it because it was fun to watch and it had a surprising ending. I didn't like that it was mostly about boy.

Morganf said...

I would rate this movie a 4 because.....

1. It was a very well written movie.
2. it's moral and storyline was very intriguing.
3. The beginning was sort-of slow but the ending was good

Natalie D-LRT 7/8B said...

I rate Dead Poets Society a 3 because:

1. No Hard Homework

2. I Really hoped that it would have been really scary

3. I thought that Neil was a stud ;)

Emily E LRT 5/6B said...

I would rate Dead Poets Society a 5 because I loved it!
1. I thought it was very amusing because Robin Williams is in it.
2. I thought that there were many little twists in the movie, such as the foreshadowing of Neil's dealth, that made it interesting.
3. The movie really showed the concept of fear and what fear can do to a person(practically kill them!).

Paul B-LRT5/6B said...

I enjoyed watching this movie in class. I would give it a five.

2. took up most of class.. so we didnt have homework besides blogging about it

3. It was funny... sometiem

Camille P 5/6B said...

I give it a five because it was really meaningful and taught me something. It taught me how everyone has there own fears and can overcome them, why other girls can't. Plus Neil is one of my favorite characters on the TV show HOUSE!

~Camille~

caitlin r-lrt 7/8B said...

I would give the movie a 4. I think so becuase it was a good demonstration of what fear can do to people, it was way better than lectures on fear and I didn't give it a five because it was a little boring at some parts like in the beginning.

Micaela C-LRT 7/8B said...

I would give the movie a 4.
1. It was funny and serious and amusing all at the same time.
2. With being all the above, it still taught us a LOT!
3. It showed us how important it was to face our fears.

Erik N-1/2 A said...

I'd rate it a 4. I liked it however it isn't something very familiar to me so I can't relate to it so much. However it is a great movie.

Renee J said...

1. I'll give it a five.
2. I really liked it because I always wanted to watch more. I like sad movies and I liked the characters in that movie

Kalyna R-1/2A said...

I would rate the Dead Poets Society a 4.76.
1. My first reason is because the characters were very likeable.
2. My second reason is because it was a very unpredictable movie, and very unique compared to other movies.
3. My third and final reason is because it made me learn more about poetry.

Jon Buckley said...

I'm glad to hear that most of you enjoyed the movie and found it to be worthwhile. It also seems that you were able to recognize how we tied the concepts of fear to this movie.

Joey said...

I would give D.P.S. a four. I really liked the movie except for the ending. I didn't like that Neil died, that Mr Keating was blamed for it, and that Mr Katings left.

I would rate this movie about a five, because I find this movie to be creepy and sad. I liked it because it's always nice to watch a movie in class. In this movie I learned that it is always good to face your fears rather than to back away from them.

McKenzie L said...

I'd have to say a 4 because there wasn't a whole lot of action in the movie and it was drawn out a little too far. Other than that, I liked it!

i'd say a four because it taught some good lessons, it was funny and entertaining, but one of the main characters dies, mr keating is fired, and the dead poets society is destroyed. i wouldn't call that a really good ending.

mike m-lrt 1/2 B said...

I'm going to give the movie a 4 out of 5. First of all it had a very overall story, it also funny at parts to keep it interesting, and it was well acted.

Leah S-LRT 1/2B said...

Julia H-LRT 5/6A said...

1. I would rate this movie a 3 because I loved the beginning but the ending was a total rip off. Also everything during the movie was a little drawn out and then at the end everything was sped up. the final reason that I would rate it a 3 is because Knox and Kris didn't get together during the movie other than one scene.

Katybeth B-1/2 A said...

4 because...
1. It taught me a lot about fear.

2. I really like Robin Williams, and the rest of the actors.

3. I liked the plot

Bevlin J.-LRT 7/8A said...

I would give the movie a 4. First of all, it was a good movie that taught you about how to think for yourself and look at things from different points of view. I also liked how the movie taught you not to conform to the pattern of the world and everyone else. One thing that I didn't like was how Neil killed himself because his father wouldn't listen to him.

I rate Dead Poets' Society a 4.5. I really like how the story was written. I also like how the movie gives us another reason to think for our selves. Another reason I like the movie is that we got to sit in class for 3 days and just watch a movie!

Izy M-LRT 5/6B said...

I would rate the Dead Poets' Society at a 5!!!!

1. Because it was really well acted and well written.
2. Because it was a very believable story; it was sad in some parts, and funny in other parts.
3. It was a different way of approaching a subject (fear) then just doing a packet or something.

Lift (britta) said...

I would rate Dead Poets Society at 2.5. I thought the movie was well written, but some parts were rather cheesy (ie: footie players carrying Mr Keating) and it was just disturbing i think, kind of unsettling. Its very bittersweet, and it makes me want to make a lemon face and say "blargh" or "blech" or both.

~britta

Bakrj-LRT7/8A said...

Evelyn H-LRT 5/6A said...

I rate DPS with a 4.

2-It lowered its rating by it had some boring scenes.

3-It jumped emotions so easily. ex. everyone is laughing and then all of a sudden everything is calm in the next scene.

Basically, way better than spending the class learning things.
