Carpe Diem! Seize the day and pick up Dead Poets Society (1989), coming to Blu-ray for the very first time. One of Academy Award winner Robin Williams’ most memorable performances has now been digitally restored and presented with high definition picture and sound. As the new English professor John Keating, Williams inspires the Welton Academy students and the audience to step outside the box of conformity and tradition and awaken the spirits within. Referencing Walt Whitman’s poem O Captain! My Captain!, the senior students Neil Perry, Todd Anderson, Knox Overstreet, Charlie Dalton, Richard Cameron, Steven Meeks and Gerard Pitts learn that there is more to life than doctors and lawyers, giving them hope to pursue their dreams until unexpected tragedy strikes the school. Despite drawing the disapproval and wrath of the parents and school board, Keating inspires all to seize the day!
Dead Poets Society Blu-ray includes all special features previously released in the 2006 Special Edition DVD.
Also releasing on Blu-ray the same day is Robin William’s refreshingly funny performance in Good Morning, Vietnam.
