What a wonderful film for kids to see in this day and age!
Everytiem I see this fine coming of age film I am more impressed with the lesson it can show to pre-teens and teens of our time. Although what was "racy" in 1959 seems timid today, the lessons of being yourself, valuing education, repsecting others and having faith in yourslef are timeless.

Inspiring and Great
Dead Poets Society is a great film. Robin Williams gives a great performance, and it is inspiring and interesting. Good for kids 13+

 
"SIEZE THE DAY"
im in my last year of high school and watched this movie for english. while it may be boring it also has a good message. the message is that you shouldn't let others rule your life. you should think for yourself and learn to "sieze the day". it is not a movie i would choose to watch again but i reccomend you think of those aroung you who are ruled by others and help them to "sieze the day". the movie is best for people from 14-40 i think. :)

As mentioned before, this encourages youth to connect with their dreams. Ideally, the young men and women would seek a deeper connection with their parents by trying to understand their hopes for them. Robin Williams character encourages them to do things behind their parents and leaders backs. Youth is all about challenging our inner and outer limits, but it must be done within reason.

Emotionally a little tough
This movie has suicide in it. It's not graphic or anything, but emotionally it's hard to deal with. Something to consider, for the more sensitive children. But I really like this movie. Good for teens. It has good themes about being true to one's self and loyal.

 
Gripping personal story
This story is inspiring and intense. Adolescence is trying time of change, uncertainty, growth and confusion. All of these elements are represented in this story. I would say that this movie gives parents an opportunity to open a discussion with there adolescent child about many of the issues that they will be experiencing in the coming years and how as parents we can be a guiding hand even as we begin to let go. This story takes a shocking turn but that only adds to the intensity of the underlying message.

Really great movie
This is a really great movie. I wouldn't recommend it for pre-teens because it has suicide and it might be unsettling to some kids. I thought the end of the movie was beyond perfect.
