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.

"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. :)

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.

AGE
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.

Outstanding!
This is such a wonderful movie, definitely one of the better films that teens and young adults should be watching because it has important meaning and is of educational value. I highly enjoyed this film, I haven't met a single soul who doesn't like this movie. There is a suicidal incident that is very unexpected for first time viewers, parties, drinking & smoking, minor sexual content (including a flash of a nude playboy ripped out of a magazine). The language isn't too bad and not much violence that I remember. It's a fun movie but has it's depressing moments, a little bit of comedy as well. I highly recommend it.
