Academy Award winner Robin Williams (Best Supporting Actor, Good Will Hunting, 1997) delivers one of his most memorable performances in Dead Poets Society – digitally restored and presented for the first time ever in breathtaking Blu-rayTM High Definition.
For generations, Welton Academy students have been groomed to live lives of conformity and tradition – until new professor John Keating inspires them to think for themselves, live life to the fullest and “Carpe Diem.” This unconventional approach awakens the spirits of the students, but draws the wrath of a disapproving faculty when an unexpected tragedy strikes the school. With unforgettable characters and beautiful cinematography, Dead Poets Society will captivate and inspire you time and time again.

My Take on the Blu-ray
I always loved this movie and when I heard that it was coming to blu-ray, I was so excited. This version of the movie was amazing. The colors jumped off the screen and it also has some amazing bonus features that allow you to completely understand the making of the movie and the story behind the story. I particularly enjoyed hearing more about the movie from the Director. If you love Robin Williams you will find this rendition of one of his best movies (in my perspective). So "Oh Captain My Captain", go and watch this amazing film, you will not be disappointed.
