Our Page To Screen series is closing out the year with legendary director Peter Weir's Dead Poets Society, based on the book by Nancy H. Kleinbaum. Set in an elite New England prep school in 1959, the story follows a group of students whose lives are upended by the arrival of John Keating (Robin Williams, in one of his most beloved performances), an English teacher who urges them to think for themselves, seize the day, and find their own voices in a world determined to quiet them. Few films capture the spark of youth and the power of a great teacher like Dead Poets Society. All these years later, it remains a moving tribute to the teachers who changed us along the way.
