I hope you enjoy it,
I love this movie to the moon and back,
And the cast is just phenomenal.
Robert Sean Leonard is sooooooooooo beautiful
He looks like someone painted him
@@pippa_peg exactly!
Very intelligent, too! Softspoken young man, at the time.
Yessss
Can't agree more
Todd and Neil in real life are their movie personalities switched
Ethan said in one of his interview that he was actually casting for Neil's part and Robert actually casting for Todd's part.
ethan is tod on drugs
@@irayuliana5651 lmaooo
By the end of the film the characters of Neil and Todd had ‘switched places,’ and both were affected in their individual ways because Keating acted as catalyst for them. Neil began as very outgoing and was eventually driven inward (due in part to his father’s pressure) but Todd began inward and eventually came out of his shell by movie’s end.
Yeah ..
i hate myself for becoming so attached to neil because it means i will never get over his death
same it’s been a week since i saw it for the first time and i’m still so sad about it. i felt like i lost someone i knew.
@@mayakaitlyn5074 same
me too omg, and are u a marauders fan?? 😩
@@lollypoplove4ever_ ofc bestie 😋😋
@@lilymiller7237 we HAVE to be besties😩
crazy how gale was 29 and the reset were 18-20 and he fits so well with all of them😂
He was 29? Wow
@@weslleyfrancisco8616 yup.
LITERALLY, HE REALLY LOOKS LIKE 16 THERE, HOW??
@@anastasianicolaenco4476 yup
Right? You can't even tell that he's almost 30.
robert sean leonard looks so dreamy here
Seriously, with the longer hair... and those cheekbones... *swooning*, 30 years later
FR
@@mgparis Yea well...stop swooning because HE'S 30 years later too but looks 50 years later! Looks like an old man. All wrinkled and stuff!
@@retroguy9494 I think he’s still cute, Myself.
@@ardenalexa94 REALLY?? Well, to each his own! I personally don't go in for wrinkles and rough skin and grey hair at only 53! Which is his age!
everyone talking about robert but can we take a minute to appreciate ethan🥺 he's beautiful
They are both super handsome!
And Gerard Pitts
@@EmmysCoolVids123 I never knew until now that he's Sam Waterston's son. And I watched Law and Order for YEARS! LOL
@@retroguy9494 yeah I know me too lol they don't look much alike in my opinion too bad James Waterston didn't become a permanent cast in Law and Order when he was younger that would've been cool.
@@EmmysCoolVids123 True!
Robert Sean Leonard is a work of art
LITERALLY
FR
WAS! He looks awful now........he looks so damn old and wrinkled!
@@retroguy9494 :D :Đ
@@retroguy9494 that's cuz he aged. He wasnt supposed to stay young forever now. He grew old. All of us are going to. There's no point in calling him awful looking and wrinkled cuz thats what all of us are eventually gonna become as we grow old.
THEY ARE SO FINE AND FOR WHAT
Robert talking about channeling femininity in the acting *chef’s kiss* He is so pretty.
Wouldn’t have been nearly as good if they had portrayed a ridiculous Harrison Ford masculine energy. Also, him talking about Neil not understanding death and therefore feeling that ending his life is his ultimate form of taking control is a very excellent way of stating why it was a scene that happened. Suicide is a loss for the living, but the logic of the person in the moment is not revolved around that. It’s not romanticizing it. It’s just a reality of what it is.
So apparently Harrison ford and masculine men are a crime…. You’re just as unstable as Timothee Chalamet and Harry styles Stans when men like Henry Cavill exist
These boys are now in their late 40's to early 50's. It's interesting that Gale Hansen never really broke out from the role of Charlie. I for sure he would have had a career in other movies. The movie itself never ages. It's still relevant today.
he retired that’s why
I mean the only one who became a really known on screen actor was Ethan, Robert only did DPS and House as big productions and dedicated himself to theater mostly (he's a theater star though) and Josh Charles did the good wife, the rest of them never acted again I think
I wonder why too, I’m pretty sure he would’ve done great in other films
@@m.josena4485 They Probably saw the ups and downs of hollywood and didnt want "Startdom" imagine having paparazzi following you everywhere heck they would be annoyed. I guess they are private and quiet ppl most of them aren't active on social media and dont live in Hollywood.
True! And they LOOK like they're 60! Its amazing what happens to 'pretty boys' when they hit middle age! The looks all go!
I cried so much after this movie
me too
Devesh Bose it was so sad dude, you really didn’t cry?
@Devesh Bose I have emotions.
@Devesh Bose it was so emotional ! such a beautiful, tragic movie. shall be honored to be called "Crybaby". life changing movie.
Teach me to cry man. I wanna drop some water off my eyes, they're stuck behind those eye balls. I wanted to cry a lot after this watching this movie, but these eyes never help. Anyways if you wanna cry again, watch "The Impossible". I'm sure it will hit you hard.
To me it is so crazy that Robin Williams(Mr. Keating) and Gale Hansen(Charlie) were only nine years apart, meaning Gale was closer to Robin's age than he is to most of the boys he acted alongside with (though all the age gaps are also 9-11 years)
That's why its called ACTING. A good actor/actress can be convincing playing just about ANY age!
they look like teenagers in the movie but like married in real life
this is why i have trust issues
Aisyah Nassim actually most of them were 18-20, the only older one of the boys was Gale Hansen, (Charlie) he was 29 at the time which is so crazy to think about
@@lunacorn.my.unicorn58 ikrrr hes 60 now how time flies by and he looked very young for a 29 yr old its really shocking to find out their real age in real life when you assume their like 17 or 18 i think ethan hawke is the youngest there 18 yrs old followed by robert sean leonard 20 yrs old
Lunacorn.my.unicorn 29?!?
tatipeachtree yep! At least according to the list I found. Crazy, right?
@@lunacorn.my.unicorn58 it isss im still in awe
That one dislike was mr Perry :/
And Nolan
he never got a chance to seize the day that is all
LMFOAKCJSNSJDJDJS TRUE
And yes if you missed,
Gale Hansen was married when he played Charlie.
Pratika Singh wow and still together until now 😍
@@bluevanilla1616 Yeah
I think he has two sons
loved Charlie did he not leave acting to become a business man ?
@Stephen Fermoyle Yes he did leave acting but he's not a business man. He works as an executive producer I guess.
WHOA.
so glad everyone in this comment section can agree on the fact that Robert is human perfection
WAS human perfection. He looks like a wrinkled up old man now!
@@retroguy9494 He’s in his 50s and it’s called aging. Did you expect him to look like this forever?
@@thatkamigirl2100 So am I but even I don't looks so wrinkled up! LOL
No, I didn't expect him to look like this forever. Although it would have been nice. But I also didn't expect him to age so badly given the way he looked at 20! He looked a lot better than ME at that age, that's for sure. Now I look better than HIM! LOL
@@retroguy9494 fucking clown
Yea but Gale though 🥺😍
robert is sooo beautiful... and his hair a little longer aaaww
God can we talk about how mature they all are? They understand their movie and its context and impact so well, it makes me fall in love with the movie all over again.
robert sean leonard walked so leonardo dicaprio could run
This film has changed my life for ever
Same. RIP Robin Williams, O Captain my Captain..
Same, I’ve always loved poetry but it increased my passion for it.
Robert sean leonard's beauty is underrated and unappreciated omg 😧😭🔥
Wdym bro, like half of the comments are talking about his beauty
@@anastasianicolaenco4476 half of this comment section is like not even 1 percent of the population, therefore he's still underrated compared to other celebs beauty
Yea but Gale though 🥺😍
Can't believe Gale Hansen quit acting, he was such a blessing to watch ... in every regard! They were all remarkable in this fantastic piece of filmmaking! Thanks for uploading this smart interview! 👌🏻💛
Who would quit an acting career to wait tables at a restaurant?
@@Augalv Who said that's what he continued to do?
@@Augalv money?
@@Augalv he's a film producer
He probs meant it when he said "Acting, what a tacky business" :|
I’m kinda sad most ppl my generation won’t give this movie the appreciation it deserves
(I’m 17)
Milena Denz there’s hope for them! I’m also 17 and got a classmate to watch it the other day. She bawled.
hi i'm also 17, but i really love this film 💖 my faveee
Well some schools show this movie to our generation in English. That's how I first saw it.
I’m 16 and love this movie! We watched it in English class this past year
I'm 15 and love and appreciate the movie,it moves me to tears.
I wish I was born in their generation haha
Me too....sometimes I feel like this generation doesn't know how to live
omg me too
same bestie imagine accidentally meeting them when they were young
honestly im gay so probably not but i admit they were cooler times in terms of style man
@@haobinversed u r right bestie
Am I the only one who finds Josh Charles uncomprehending-ly handsome? 🙌
Yes! I see so much kindness in his face 😍
YESSS
He is gorgeous!
Y E S
He's handsome it's not just you
Neil is heroic, until his suicide. I didn't think the film made that act look heroic at all. I understand,the fear that it might. But, instead I think the film achieved it's goal of not making it heroic. Neil defying his father to be in the play, was his last heroic deed. Todd's was defending his Captain!
Agree, it was depicted as a tragedy, as it is. I didnt think once it showed suicide as heroism. If anything, it showed how sad it was that he thought he had no way out.
i agree. when watching the film i saw that neil was visibly scared to kill himself. that scene was incredibly powerful and emotional because he was so scared to do it. he knew it was wrong, but i understand that he was a teenage boy and that he felt that this was his only way out of escaping the life his father was forcing on him. of course there were other ways he could have handled the situation, but his inevitable decision was the one that came with the most consequences. people thinking the suicide is made to be heroic are wrong.
There's nothing heroic in the suicide.
I somehow knew that Neil was lying to keating about his father being okay with the play.
His acting is really on another level, u could catch the subtle glimpse of guilt in that scene.
How dare Robert Sean Leonard give me Leonardo DiCaprio '97 vibes... ❤️
Oh yez exactly
They're all so damn good looking. Unbelievable
ALLELON IS LITERALLY A WORK OF ART 🛐
Don't forget about James Waterston
YES
preach
i will never forget this film
I am 19 and I am in love with this movie. It's a beauty to be cherished by many generations.
After many viewings of DPS and lots of thought and analysis I decided that Peter Weir had taken the ‘liberal teacher vs. conservative administration’ script and elevated the power and impact of the film much higher by means of foreshadowing and symbolism that’s especially focused upon the Neil/Todd pair of characters and on Neil especially. For example, Puck’s concluding epilogue BECOMES a statement of Neil’s real-life situation as he recites those lines. Also, Keating’s statement about the photos of long-dead former students is folllowed by a lingering shot of Neil shown last, as if to single him out. The most powerful example is Neil’s/Puck’s ‘final bow’ seen at Neil’s opened bedroom window, a true Peter Weir touch and moment which RSL did superbly well despite the scene’s simplicity. Since Robin Williams’ own subsequent suicide the film now has an additional and more bitterly sad context for me as well, though DPS remains my favorite film.
I love their haircuts
those 4 dislikes are nolan, mr perry, chet, and mr anderson
HXHSBDJDBDHDJDJSJS I JUST CHOKED ON MY WATER SO HARD OVER THIS
Hager is the 5th dislike
I don't think Mr. Anderson would even bother sadly💀😭
@@anastasianicolaenco4476 Unfortunately, he probably wouldn't bat an eye ;-;
4:39 such an excellent point
normally i consume media feeling inspired to embody the characters i admire, but this movie really made me want to instead reflect on where i'm at and be inspired to apply the same values i saw so vividly within these characters
what an honour to be able to watch this movie :-)
I would’ve loved to be on set with Robin and the others
Robert is so cute in here. I've watched the entire Dr House series before even watching Dead Poets Society, so I've got used to his older self as James Wilson.
the way they all look even more attractive than in the film i think its gonna kill me
DPS is my favorite movie
I saw the NY Broadway Play of “Born Yesterday” with James Belushi and Robert Sean Leonard 10 yrs ago. I bought a ticket JUST to see RS Leonard. I sat in the front row and HATED James Belushi--he yelled so loud that he spat saliva all over us! I went to the Back Stage Door to meet RSL. He came out first and I was the only one there to see HIM.The rest were Belushi fans and had all this stuff for him to autograph. I was closest to the door and just quietly talked to him. I said I loved him in DPS, House, and the play. Then Belushi threw open the door and strode to HIS fans who gushed all over him. We stood there watching Belushi and his sycophants. I turned and said to RSL “Man he’s a REAL A-Hole!!” RSL, ever the gentleman, just smiled slightly and quietly said “Oh yeah!” He said good bye, hoped I would enjoy NY, then quietly walked past the throngs of fans into Times Square.. He knew who he was...and didn’t NEED the fans the way Belushi did. I think Jim Belushi KNEW he would never be better than his brother John Belushi who died WAY too young at age 32.
It was an honor to meet Robert Sean Leonard and I wish everyone could meet him one day!
You MET him.....wow...that must've been surreal
I'm sorry but the part where there's James Belushi is so hilarious man is indeed so annoying but congrats for meeting Robert Sean Leonard that must've been a dream come true and I'm so happy for you Robert seems like a very kind and down to earth guy I really do wish I could meet him and tell him how much I admire him and his works and that he's one of the few people that has a big influence in my life one day ❤
I would die, if it happened to me! Unfortunately I live in Czech republic, so I will never see him :(
Ethan Hawke is unrecognisable. He is so fucking beautiful and he had grown a lot ❤️
Yea he was like 19 or something here
omg robert is so gorgeous i’m crying
Josh Charles is perfection.
HAF with the longer hair.
2:37 "i had a woman screaming at me"
yeah i agree cos i would, too
HOW COME THEY ARE SO GOOD LOOKING? 90s boys rlly hit different
Robert is so enchanting and well spoken with depth ☁️ these guys are great
robert was so pretty in this interview 🚶🏻♀️
i just want more gale hansen in my life
Ayo Allelon is so underrated man, his character is amazing and he’s honestly so pretty
Ikrrr to bad young allelon doesn’t have many roles in movie, just watched him at law and order S2 tho
OH MY GOD ROBERT AHHHH HES SO PRETTY
Love. Them. The. Most.
I didn't realise Red Forman was in this movie
robert sean leonard is so gorgeous.
I think I watched this originally because of Ethan Hawke but fell for Josh Charles instead. I was 13 when this movie came out in 1989. Where did the time go? I am an English teacher now, and this movie helped to develop my appreciation of poetry especially serious poetry. My three favorite poems are "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night", by, Dylan Thomas, "If" by, Rudyard Kipling, and "The Raven" by, Edgar Allan Poe.
I’m 17 years old and my favorite poem is “the raven” by Edgar Allen Poe too :)
do not go gentle is such a beautifully touching poem. it holds almost as much power as Mr Keating’s words throughout the film.
Ethan started off in Explorers with River Phoenix and Jason Presson and this role was his 2nd movie 🍿 such a talented actor and very cute and innocent looking young man seemed very smart too
i will never get over the fact that gale was 29 when he played charlie
I remember watching this in high school when I was about 16
I’m 24 now and I keep finding my way back to this movie to push myself to change my point of view and to return to writing. I liked high school a lot more than I give it credit for. I only really had a handful of teachers I think who believed in me.
And now, after working in the same job for 6 years and trying to find my path, like my purpose and what I want out of life.
I keep finding my way back to “carpe diem” ( or singing friend like me at the top of my lungs aha)
I want to live a life with the hope that someday in the next life, or in the darkness that comes next I can meet Robin Williams and thank him for his acting and his performance of a teacher who believes in his students
Wish u all the best . I just finished this film and I’m in high school now ~really adore this movie
Robert Sean Leonard is an unbelievably gorgeous man
Robert Sean Leonard with that hairstyle looks impeccable, such a babe
robert is so beautiful it hurts
they are all so beautiful and they dressed up soooo good i wish i were a teen in those days
ive never seen such a pretty cast
Wise words coming from these young punks. :)
Young punks? Yea.....that's a pretty good word to describe rich, privileged private prep school guys!
@@retroguy9494 that's their characters
@@AliceRoche-ii2ke Yes, I realize that. I didn't just cross the river illegally into Texas where sleepy Joe put me up in a fancy hotel on the taxpayer dime yesterday you know!
The OP was making a joke and so was I!
when Leonard said "i had women screaming at me", my first thought was "geez i wonder why 😏"
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT ETHAN IN THIS COMMENT SECTION OMG
YES THANK YOU FINALLY THERE IS SOMEONE
@@charlottehannis5242 where??
Don’t forget about James Waterston!
oh my god Gale Hansen looks like a masterpiece
Such a brilliant movie...amazing cast
The fashion of that era :)
I will do anything for young robert sean leonard he’s undeniably gorgeous and I am down BAD.
They're all super cute.
They are all so beautiful in this interview omg 😩✋🏼
gale is so pretty
I watched this movie a few days ago and it is now one of the best films I’ve seen
oh good lord robert is a work of art! he's so beautiful!
You're a legend if you're watching this in 2023
I watch this film several times a year. It had and continues to have a major impact on me
I searched for them after watching "Dead Poets Society" ......it feels different when I saw teenager boys becoming Senior Citizen.....so I searched for this interview where I can relate .....I don't know other movies and shows of them but from now I will watch them....I watched an interview of Todd means Ethan Hawke.....it was fascinating.....my favourite person in the movie was Neil....I admire him....
You know there's a thing called "a single period" at the end of the sentence, right?
Sry, I'm in a petty mood💀😬
My father took me to the cinema to watch this movie when I was 16. Later he asked me which character I liked most and was surprised when I said I liked Todd. He had thought I'd be impressed by Neil but I thought he was a coward for not fighting for his independence and just give up his life, not thinking at all about what that would mean for the people he loved. Instead I felt Todd had taken all his strength to stand up for the people he cared for and was willing to make sacrifices to help others instead of only thinking about what made him happy.
The actors are right,this film touched many in my generation. For me it meant I understood how restricted the world was, my parents had grown up in as kids and how much society had changed since. And also that I didn't want to allow others to define who I am.
Every character in the film was cast perfectly!
I was 17 when this movie came out and it has stuck with me for all of this time...a true gem!
they’re such incredible actors. love them so much
This movie was exquisite and completely changed my life. It softened my heart and I continue to enjoy poetry for all that it represents: Romance, passion, love! It’s what makes us human and feel alive.
josh charles and ethan hawke.. just wow
I was stunned with Robert sean's beauty here
Brilliant cast. So talented. They have endeared themselves to us all since Dead Poets Society. They made this film live, and endure.
This is a brilliant movie and its young cast more than did the story justice. I was just starting to think about teaching when I first saw it and when I became a teacher I would show this movie to my students. The rich symbolism in the movie is mind-blowing to them (and to me) at times.
why was robert so gorgeous UGH
The best movie ever made.
josh and robert look so dreamy here 😫
everyones so handsome help
I KNOW RIGHT like how
I know!! Most handsome group of gentlemen I've ever seen!
This movie is such an inspiration for all of us, in all meanings, life, literature, for example, i did two weeks ago a presentation about DPS for my French class ( I am French so it’s like in the movie you know haha ), all about the literature in the movie. It’s my fav movie of all time, each actor is amazing, and If one of them sees this comment, let me tell you thank you. I am only 16 but you can’t know how much this movie ( so you as well ) helps and inspires me everyday! Hope to meet you one day.
Dylan Kussman has his own CZcams channel by his name. You can check that, he gives reply by himself to all.
Ooh ! C'est trop bien ! J'ai l'âge que tu avais en écrivant ce commentaire et, ça m'inspire grave x)
Vraiment ce film est merveilleux
He's the same now as he was back then! Especially on House MD! I mean, can he be any more adorable?! 😄
Josh Charles is just a gift from god
I think I have an unhealthy obsession with dps cuz I'm binge watching any compilation and interview I can find
This interview lives in my head rent free.
allelon rugiero is so cute omg really.............
RSL’s voice 😍
I read that the studio wanted named actors to play the boys such as those from St. Elmos Fire and the John Hughes movies. But Weir wanted fresh un named actors. Get this ...both Matt Damon and Ben Afflect auditioned for roles in this movie but obviously didn’t make the cut. Laura Flynn Boyle is in the end credits of the film but none of her scenes made the final movie. You see her in the directors cut.
i'm actually kinda glad that matt and ben didn't get the roles of the poets because i think the current cast of DPS is the appropriate choice and they really fit their characters as well i really can't imagine if matt and ben got landed the parts it would've been different...
It’s amazing how inspired these guys seem from working on this film with such a great director and co-star
Best casting ever!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
There are few movies that i will watch more that once, but this is a movie I have watched several times and never tier
4:41 this was sooooo accurate for me
