Robin Williams delivered one of his most memorable roles in his Oscar nominated performance in Dead Poets Society. Though a brilliant comedian, Williams was excellent in dramatic roles as well. Full of quotable lines, creative lesson plans and inspirational life lessons, Williams's Mr. Keating is the English teacher everyone wishes they had. Much of this can be attributed to good acting by Williams as well as a well written Oscar winning screenplay. The film takes place in an elite boarding school, running the risk of alienating the general audience that cannot relate to the wealthy and privileged. But this is not the case. The students are for the most part down-to-earth. They have the same problems associated with growing up that everyone can relate to: academic pressure, family pressure, relationship issues.
