Captain, my captain





"Dead Poets Society" is, of course, a classic. Here in Sweden, it's probably one of the most popular American movies. At least it used to be. Everyone knows what you are talking about if you say "Captain, my captain".

My own relation to the movie is a bit complex. For a while, I tended to sympathize with Stern Military Father (the bad guy). I mean, being a doctor is a more productive pursuit than being a pussycat actor with a wreath on your head. Right, Newanda? I also thought poor Puck was a whimp for killing himself.

OK, maybe I was a bit neurotic in my 20's.

:-D

But yes, "Dead Poets Society" deserves five stars.
