God do I love Daniel Craig with that Kentucky fried foghorn leghorn drawl

Lots of dumb fun and lots of Daniel Craig

Where do I begin? This isn't my first time watching this movie and honestly it really didn't mean that much to me. I don't know what it was, being more familiar with cinema or learning about A Midsummer Night's Dream in school but this watch felt hypnotising. The film has a very special atmosphere, and it doesn't really doesn't try too hard to establish it as well, it simple works. The mystique of the dead poets society is illustrated brilliantly; the hooded cloaks, the gloomy lighting and the medieval sounding tune is all employed to it's maximum. As for the cast, despite it's size, is nailed on the head, whether it be the hopeless romantic in Knox, the shy new boy in Todd or he rebellious nature of Nuwanda (trust me I can keep going), every single one of them some how gets their justice and I simply can't fathom how they have done it. While we're on characters, Neil Perry has a lot to be talked about. First, his relationship with Todd, every bit of dialogue such as his confrontation regarding Todd's lack of confidence and him being warned by Todd about performing all gives us an in-depth look into the sort of person he is, in each of those two instances the initial tension is always soothed by Neil, he also accomplishes a similar fear when he cheers up Todd on his birthday. All these scenes makes us realise his importance to characters like Todd and applies the salt in advance for the wound that's about to appear. A Midsummer Night's Dream plays quite a profound role in this movie now that I'm familiar with it. Puck the role that Neil plays, is in the story a joyful trouble maker, as he causes light hearted mischief where he isn't supposed to and in a very tragic way aligns far too close with Neil. His first and final moment or true joy comes by portraying Puck, and this consumes Neil, he is simple unable to conform back again to his parents standards and when this realisation hits, it's all the more of a guy punch when we see Neil's fate, which I might say is an extremely well shot sequence. These are only some of the things that make this movie near perfect and I genuinely can't find a single thing to criticise even if I tried, I absolutely loved it on this watch and would watch it a million times over
