Dead Poets Society (1989) - Full Reaction - Popcorn In Bed

Watch the full reaction to Dead Poets Society on Popcorn In Bed.

Comments

Clarence Newman

Oh yes! Of all the films I'd want to sit down and watch with Cassie and Carly, this one is top 5.

Old As Dirt Bert

Looking forward to watching our "below average movie experts" see this touching classic tomorrow evening.

MGCR

Invictus is not just a rugby movie. Morgan Freeman plays Nelson fricking MANDELA. The first black president of South Africa, a trailblazer in African politics and arguably Morgan Freeman's greatest ever role.

Choof

From the same director as "Witness" and "Master and Commander"

shaneth138

Please do The Peanut Butter Falcon for Tender November!! It’s one of the most tender movies of the last decade. You’ll love it!!

Terry Yelmene

I've been having a problem for quite a while now. I can not access any 'full reaction' video - instead I very briefly see an error message "Video Unavailable". This is truly tragic now, as I really, really want to see the react to 'Dead Poets'!!! What's strange is I can view any of the YT Edited videos. Please advise. Thanks!

Shawn Kildal

The Rocky movies are inspiring; October Sky immediately comes to mind as well. Also, most sports movies, the good ones anyway. American Underdog (the Kurt Warner story) would have been a great candidate for poll consideration imo. Dead Poets Society is a really good movie, but I had a feeling the ending would leave the ladies more devastated than inspired.

Brian McGovern

They are speechless. They are without speech. When they said they were going to watch this as a feel good movie, my first thought was, “ oh you foolish girl”. Great movie that takes a turn and that feel good movie makes you feel all hollow inside.

Shawn Kildal

Click on the title of movie, which is immediately under the video. It will take you a separate page.

Shawn Kildal

Okay, this reaction video is now unavailable from what I can tell

Andrew Taylor

Check any vpn location or firewall you have on which may cause the block

Art Vandalaay

“Thank you girls… Thank you”

Rod Reavern

Cassie and Carly are free to like whatever movie they choose, but I'm skipping this reaction. As someone who knew a classmate in high school who sadly self-terminated, the ending of this movie infuriates me to no end. I can understand a student being unpopular and bullied, and believing there's no tomorrow, but the "woe-is-me-my-daddy-doesn't-understand-me" reason was just melodramatic BS and emotional manipulation masquerading as tragedy. It's insulting to the audience and desecrates RL tragedies. The "hang in there, it gets better" message of hope may seem trite and cliché, but it's infinitely better than the ending of "Dead Poet's Society." Honestly, "I am Ironman" is a better message.

Dan M

Now…it will feel like Autumn here on PiB.

Clarence Newman

Just finished watching this. I kind of knew it was going to put their tender hearts in a blender at the end, but as Patrons who suggest this kind of stuff, our conscience should be clear. This movie came from an "Inspired" poll and it definitely is inspiring, so that box was well and truly ticked. We never promised it was happy.

Clarence Newman

That's a good point there, Rod, and spoken from a position of experience, it's irrefutable. I'm sorry for your friend, and for anyone who ever reaches the point where they feel so trapped they'd rather be dead. I've been there myself and it's an incredibly dark place.

Clarence Newman

Works fine for me, guys, though I'm in the UK if that makes any difference.

Clarence Newman

Also worth noting - while I love seeing Cassie and Carly happy (Smokey and the Bandit and Croc Dundee are heaven for me), to get the true benefit of a good reactor, you need a film that whips their emotions back and forth like a monkey on a unicycle. In that regard, this was a really top-end reaction.

MikeLL

He's still living in Alabama and sending his son to college. By now he is probably about to cure cancer.

Above Average Dave

"Cassie, my Cassie!" (said Dave, standing on his standing desk (I thought that's what it's for!), trying not to step on the keyboard or knock over his Diet Coke). 😁

Above Average Dave

It does if one, or even two, wants southern BBQ and quality apple pie. 🤣

Milton Reduxed

Cute. But I'm genuinely angry. It's an unspoken convention poll winners are watched first. This is a breach of the social contract. A betrayal of trust Also Forrest Gump Jr. would be 44 this year

Clarence Newman

Cassie said they had to switch it because of a scheduling conflict, so it's coming next. I hope that'll stop you worrying about it, Milt, because....... you know.....One less thing.

2-Can

The bagpipe song at the start of the movie is Scotland The Brave (it even has lyrics). Also used as the theme song for The Devil's Brigade (1968) - a not so tender, but based on truth, story from WWII about a joint Canadian-American fighting unit (maybe for War March - or War May?).

Mojo One Thousand

I didn't think this would leave the ladies satisfied at the end, considering the previous 10-15 minutes. Some of their thoughts are almost straight out of a "Friends" episode called "The One with the Fake Monica". I can't remember what I voted for, but when I saw this I thought it does have some inspiring moments but is not all roses. Robin Williams was such a special performer. Although I like "Good Will Hunting" a lot, "Good Morning Vietnam" is probably my go-to for one of his films. I watched it a bunch as a kid. It's a couple of years before this, and I think "Mr. Keating" has some elements from the teacher persona from his character in "Good Morning Vietnam". I was impressed with the recognising of the young cast members. Feel a bit sorry for Josh Charles, I knew the "Good Wife" was surely going to come up, but it was about an hour into the movie.

Robert da Spruce

I realize I never thanked you for doing the Inspirational poll. Thank you Cassie! Although I was rooting for another film, I can’t be mad that this film won It is very inspiring (and heartbreaking). And also a bittersweet reminder of how Robin was a truly singular talent Looking forward to watching you and Carly’s reaction

Terry Yelmene

Thanks Shawn, Yes, I've done that. In fact, I aways launch from that separate page, but now I simply can't access any full react.

John Liebling

You'd both enjoy two other Robin Williams films: 1. Bicentennial Man and 2. Awakenings.

Joe J

"I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There's gotta be a little rain sometime"

Clay F

You guys gave a great reaction. "I think we need an inspiring movie from our inspiring movie." Neil should have ran away, like Cassie said. If that didn't work, then Carly nailed it, Neil should have limped along for the couple of years until he turned 18 and then did what he wanted. For example, get a job at 18 doing manual labor and pursue acting on the side. Better than killing yourself. +1 for Invictus (2009). An inspiring movie less sad. Robin Willams did great in DPS. Ethan Hawke showed he a good actor at a young age. My favorite Robin Williams role is in Good Will Hunting (1997) (awesome movie). GWH is my No. 1 request for a Cassie rewatch/Carlie first watch reaction. FG is my No. 2 and excited to be getting that.

TheSingulatarian

I would add "The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen" (1988). Robin Williams has a brief cameo.

Nick Ireland

Haven't seen this one in years. A lot of these "tender" movies tend to veer into sickly sweet/patronising territory for me (ahem, Forrest Gump) but I'll give this a re-watch. I like Robin Williams. For a tender movie with more nuance, I'd recommend "Nebraska" from 2013.

TheSingulatarian

I keep telling them "Meet Me in Saint Louis" (1944) nothing but happy thoughts.

Matt Dellarosa

The Rocky anthology and October sky are already on the channel. But yes, great movies.

Matt Dellarosa

Glad yall watched this one even though it was the runner up. Forest Gump is great and all but this movie is a classic. Tragic and heartbreaking but inspiring as well.

2-Can

Great reaction. In time you will hopefully not see this as two distinct parts but see how they are intertwined. As we grow we will encounter the entrenched who demand conformity at the expense of our individual growth and interests and we have to learn how to approach, navigate, and sometimes change them. Just as true today as in the time depicted, even though the entrenched have changed, they are similarly intolerant of non-conformity. Keating is reminding them to grab life and get the most out of it. When I think of Robin Williams, I always go between The World According to Garp (1992) and Awakenings (1990) as showcasing his versatility (along with this one too).

David Patterson

I saw, in the theater, all the Oscar nominees for Best Picture/Director that year: Born on the 4th of July, My Left Foot, Dead Poets' Society, Field of Dreams, Driving Miss Daisy and Do the Right Thing. I watched this film immediately after seeing Spike Lee's film. Being dragged from the dark depths of the first movie, to glorious heights of this one, gave me such an emotional high that I've never been able to duplicate.

OddThomas

Another great Peter Weir film: Picnic at Hanging Rock

thomas king

What a great movie. School Ties is another prep school movie u will really like starring young Brendan Fraser, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Chris O'Donnell.

Gray

Dosn't load on my pc so it's easy just to right click and copy link into another browser tab, works fine on phone though as I always save to watch later

Christian Becker

To this day, I really do not know why I like this movie so much. I was 16 when I saw it for the first time (in 1991), rented it from a video store, not knowing what it was about. You’ve got to picture a long-haired, metal-music-loving, 16-year-old German teenager watching a movie about kids in school reading poetry. This guy is sitting in front of the TV, crying his eyes out and thinking about what he's going to do with his life. There are not many movies that left such a lasting impression, and I still think it changed me a little bit — I hope for the better. So thank you for letting me witness your reaction and relive mine.

Gray

Peter Weir made some really great movies and there are still a fair few to be watched on the channel at some point hopefully. Glad you watched this one as it's a Robin classic. Looking forward to Forrest Gump next week. Also if you were to do another True Events poll Ethan Hawke in Alive 1993 would be a good pick.

Stick Figure Studios

More films directed by the Australian filmmaker Peter weir on the channel is always a good thing. You've now seen of his films (this one as well as WITNESS, MASTER AND COMMANDER and THE TRUMAN SHOW). Hopefully you will do more like FEARLESS with Jeff Bridges, THE MOSQUITO COAST with Harrison Ford and the classic but put him on the map PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK. These are all great films and he is a great artist. Can't wait to see this reaction.

Stick Figure Studios

When it comes to filmmaking, Peter weir is a master and a commander (See what I did there?) I'm hoping she'll eventually react to FEARLESS, THE MOSQUITO COAST and PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK.

Stick Figure Studios

And TRUMAN SHOW and THE MOSQUITO COAST and FEARLESS and PICNIC AND HANGING ROCK.

Steve Holton

Peter Weir even directed a well-crafted romantic comedy "Green Card" (1990) about an American women and French man marrying for business and immigrations reasons that prove complicated and entertaining.

Shawn Kildal

She said she is watching it next week

Daniel Doble

Cass, tell your sister it's called "Scotland the Brave". I looked it up.

Kevin Farrell

Such a great movie about young men and letting down your walls. Robin Williams was such a talent.

Phillip Bates

Love this movie but, yes, it's heartbreaking. Loved your reaction and thoughts at the end. Always insightful, which I appreciate. I miss Robin Williams, too! Maybe the only time I cried when I heard about a celebrity death, except for possibly Brad Delp of Boston and George Michael. Another one like this, and not as sad, is "Mona Lisa Smile", about another inspiring teacher in an archaic system. Not sure of you've seen that one or not. I am really looking forward to Forrest Gump... an ATF of mine.

Kal Zakath

This movie changed my life. I had always been the 'go with the flow' guy - and here I was, about to turn 30, and just starting to wonder if I had wasted everything... then it came. "Carpe Diem." I stopped bouncing job to job just doing what I needed to, and started doing what I wanted to. Went back to school. Made a career. Found the love of my life while back at school (35 years later still married). Lived the day - meaning I meant to make a mark and give my life meaning rather than just 'getting by at life.' An insanely powerful movie with a tragic turn - and deserves every nomination for movies that there was that year. It's one that isn't as popular as a lot of other Robin Williams movies, and was his first where he wasn't the comedic comet flying through it.

Stick Figure Studios

"O Captain, my captain!" Golly, that final scene still gets me. It has been spoofed a million times, but I remember seeing it when it first came out and the impact it had on me then. Your reaction, ladies (stunned silence) is not unlike what my response was too after I finished it

Stick Figure Studios

Honestly, I've never been that big a fan of GREEN CARD. I think it is one of his weakest films, but I also haven't seen it in decades so it's probably due for a rewatch.

Clarence Newman

Nebraska is a unique movie and not everybody's cup of tea. I can't go into any detail as to why, but I'm with Nick on recommending it. Bruce Dern is just perfect.

WestBound

Can't wait for Your Name for Tender November 😅

Cole Jennett

Alive was my intro to Ethan Hawke. He was great in it, and it’s been a really long time since I’ve seen it. Hope it happens eventually

Cole Jennett

I recognized the “gather ye rosebuds while ye may” line from The Newsroom. That was a fun surprise. I’d thought I had seen this before but clearly I had not. Really thought Ethan Hawke was the protagonist as I guess everything I knew was from the famous end scene. I saw what Neil was going to do long before the girls did. Knew it was going to go tragic.😔

Above Average Dave

After first seeing this film the one kid in the cast I was sure would be a star of some sort was Gale Hanson (AKA Charlie "Nuwanda" Dalton). He had just enough attitude, great chops and brought a certain vulnerability to that role essential to make Charlie more than just "the cool guy who peaked in high school." I was kind of shocked it never happened, but Hollywood is a fickled place. I'm glad he found a home as a development exec.

Gray

I'd say Master & Commander is in my top 10 movies. Think of all the great sequels we could have gotten if it performed a bit better at the box office.

Stick Figure Studios

Yeah, I remember seeing that one in the theater. Bummed we never got a sequel to it.

Stick Figure Studios

I'm so old that my first introduction to Ethan hawke was EXPLORERS.

Stick Figure Studios

SCHOOL TIES Is a good movie. Not as great as DEAD POETS SOCIETY, but also not as heartbreaking.

Stick Figure Studios

Yeah, I'm not a fan of FORREST GUMP partly for the very reason you mention.

Chris Retzlaff

I knew at the part with the play and seeing their reaction...I said out loud...oh you ladies are in trouble.....ive watched this 102 times...ive gotten choked up and shed a tear 102 times..... Kurtwood Smith....you thought he was a butthead in Robocop.....Clarence Boddiker doesnt have anything on Mr Perry.....

Chris Retzlaff

I love Mosquito Coast....that and Witness was the two Harrison Ford staples growing up....outside of Han and Indy of course

Clay F

Picnic at Hanging Rock is on my watchlist. Too bad she has seen The Truman Show (my 2nd favorite Jim Carey movie after Eternal Sunshine). Master and Commander is great. I enjoyed her reaction to Witness (my favorite Peter Weir movie).

Cole Jennett

I would say his role in A Time to Kill has this beat though.

Chris Retzlaff

I dont know, you pressure your son to that end and hold your wife emotionally hostage......thats evil

David Patterson

There was an episode of St. Elsewhere in which Howie Mandel's character was turning 30 and wanted to do something big before growing up. This inspired me to travel to England on my 30th.

Stick Figure Studios

MOSQUITO COAST is great because it's a very different kind of character for Ford (and apparently it's one of his favorites).

K, Zachary

I saw this when I was 10. I didn't understand the gravity of it. My gf had never seen it. Before her time is what she said. Well I guess she was 3 when this came out. "Oh Captain My Captain was a extended metaphor poem written by Walt Whitman on the Death of Abraham Lincoln. He wrote three poems to go long with this one. Why I loved this movie I also hated it. The parents teaching their kids to sell out. Maybe we need Al Pacino from Scent Of A Woman to teach them. That's one of the worst things to do to a person. Is sell them out for any reason. However they kind of made it up for it the end. Any Given Sunday is more inspirational I think

bknsty14

They really don't make them like they used to

Doc Larry/old geezer

Dead Poets Society is a profoundly moving film that stirs every emotion. Starring the incomparable Robin Williams, alongside Ethan Hawke and Robert Sean Leonard, it reminds us that the influence of a truly great teacher cannot be measured in dollars it’s a gift that shapes hearts and minds for a lifetime.

Dan

Cassie and Carly, I know this one is a tough watch, and it would be really emotional for you guys just like it is for everyone. I think though it’s one of Robin Williams’ finest movies and something that every teacher should see. A large part of the movie is certainly sad but still inspirational. Other great teaching movies are Lean On Me (1989) with Morgan Freeman and Stand and Deliver (1988) with Edward James Olmos. Both very inspirational and both based on true stories. And if you’re looking for a good happy family, friendly movie with Robin Williams, I suggest Bicentennial Man, not a true story…at least not yet. :)

2-Can

I just read that he was 30 when this came out.

Chris Thom

Haven't watched this full reaction yet, but I did skip forward to the end to see how you liked it. And yeah...you both look a little shook and upset. And I get it. Hopefully the tragedy at the end didn't completely ruin the film for you. But can understand how it might. Like what exactly are we supposed to take from it after the worst happens? RIP Robin. We were lucky to have him as long as we did.

Old As Dirt Bert

Thanks, ladies, for your reactions - tilting both ways like the plot. I saw this film when it was new and it reminded me of kids I knew in high school who neither friends nor inspiring elders could save from abuse and regimentation by family or supposed "leaders" (school or church). In the '60s a substantial number of students had figured out the authority figures often didn't have or care about all the answers, and we better look out for ourselves. Keating had the right idea, but not every individual can handle it.

Clarence Newman

The first time I saw Kurtwood Smith was in an episode of my all-time favourite sitcom, "Soap" (1977-82) - the show that launched Billy Crystal's career (along with SNL, of course). Kurtwood played "Man in Launderette" and had the best line of the scene. You know an actor is good when he can steal a scene like that with one or two lines.

Omar

I needed a 70’s Show cleanser to redeem Red after seeing this for the first time. Still half wish he’d called his kid a dumba** tho 😂

Chris Thom

Oh that's who that was. Takes me a minute to make that connection with him and the grandpa from E L Raymond for some reason, because they seem so different in older movies. Sitcom acting looks like a whole other beast.

My_Cousin_Mose

Did Cassie say that the playboy model looked like she was 50? Dang she went right for the jugular.

Above Average Dave

This is pure HWood. I remember so many of the actors in 90210 and similar shows were in their 20s or, in the case of Luke Perry, 30. Hanson still could've used this film as a great catapult. I think he would've fit right into so many good films that came out in the following years, even if he was playing someone in his 20s/early 30s. A lot of this falls on his agency fielding the wrong projects to him after DPS came out, although many actors are notorious for picking the wrong project when faced with a choice of 2 or more, a smart agent will steer him/her to a smarter choice. In the end, so much of that business is luck.

Clarence Newman

Are we sure she was talking about her age?

Chris Thom

Maybe she meant the 1950's?

My_Cousin_Mose

I'm not entirely sure Clarence. That's just what it sounded like to me.

Clarence Newman

I am being far too cryptic, Mose. My mind somehow drifted to circumference.

Phil Stubblefield

As always, thank you, Cassie and Carly, for sharing your hearts with us! Those of us who had seen this film knew what it would do to you. Carly, the look on your face when you began to suspect what was going to happen was exactly what I had been dreading. What a heart wrenching and yet brilliant film. Robin Williams clearly showed himself to be one of the finest actors of his generation, and the irony is that his battle with depression eventually led him to the same crossroads as Neil. And even though I was initially saddened not to hear the PiB music at the end of at the reaction, I think that the decision to end in silence was beautiful. Thank you again, my friends!

Jason Dolan

Fun fact that Taylor Swift brought Ethan Hawke and another actor from this movie back to do her music video for Fornight with Post Malone so you weren't that far off

SeanATX

Cassie, you have to show Carly MR HOLLANDS OPUS (bad title be damned!)

Johnny Bullis

Wow just wow.. Robin Williams at his best. I havent had a good cry in a while so it was nice to watch this with you two . Cassie.. watching you tear up gets me every time. Very cathartic movie.. in the best way possible. If you ladies liked this, I recommend 3 other really good "Boy School" dramas... Emperor's Club with Kevin Kline .. School Ties with Brendan Frasier and Scent of a Woman with Al Pacino.. all of which are exceptional movies.. So keep the train rolling on good dramas. Oh Captain my Captain. :)

Matt Dellarosa

Cassie, I was relieved to hear you say you dont remember much of Forrest Gumo. Hopefully it will be like a first time viewing for you. Im not a big fan of rewatch videos. I usually won't even watch. Plus Forrest Gump reactions are pretty saturated on youtube.

My_Cousin_Mose

Which is worse to say to a lady? She looks old or looks fat? Probably both are worse.

Clarence Newman

Mose. This was a Playboy centerfold picture. We're talking circumference of her Double Deltas, which is very definitely a compliment. Then again, 50 might be excessive, even for the 50s.

Steve Smith

She'll be watching with Carley, and she hasn't seen it at all. So there you go.

Matt Dellarosa

I know that. Still dont like watching it someone has already seen the movie.

My_Cousin_Mose

I have no idea what I was thinking haha.

Joe J

Cassie will remember some of the movie as it un-folds, not everything but certain scenes here and there. Re-watches are never a genuine blank slate.

Walter

My go-to Robin Williams movie is Popeye. Obviously he's done better movies, but I saw it at the right age and have always loved it. I hope to see a reaction of it some day.

Jennifer Eichhorn

I absolutely love this movie, but I can't watch it unless I'm okay with having a good cleansing cry.

JPDotCom23

You wanna watch more great performances by Robin Williams, check out 'The Fisher King' and 'Awakenings' and 'Insomnia'
