  7. 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.

  13. 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!

  14. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I would give the movie a 4.
    1. It was funny and serious and amusing all at the same time.

    1. My first reason is because the characters were very likeable.

    3. My third and final reason is because it made me learn more about poetry.

  53. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  54. 4 because...
    1. It taught me a lot about fear.

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

  55. 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.

  58. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  59. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  60. 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.
