6大主角的人物角色特点:

John Keating: samrt and brave.聪明勇敢。

Todd Anderson: exceedingly bright and popular.阳光受欢迎。

Knox Overstreet: friendly and kind.友好心地善良。

Charlie Dalton: funny and talented.有趣和有天赋。

Mr. Nolan: carefully and genius.细心周到和天才。

Painfully shy Todd Anderson has been sent to the school where his popular older brother was valedictorian. His room-mate, Neil, although exceedingly bright and popular, is very much under the thumb of his overbearing father. The two, along with their other friends, meet Professor Keating, their new English teacher, who tells them of the Dead Poets Society, and encourages them to go against the status quo. Each, in their own way, does this, and is changed for life.

Seven boys, Neil Perry (Robert Sean Leonard), Todd Anderson (Ethan Hawke), Knox Overstreet (Josh Charles), Charlie Dalton (Gale Hansen), Richard Cameron (Dylan Kussman), Steven Meeks (Allelon Ruggiero) and Gerard Pitts (James Waterston) attend the prestigious Welton Academy prep school, which is based on four principles: Tradition, Honour, Discipline and Excellence.

On the first day of class, the students are introduced to their overwhelming and extraordinary curriculum by sullen headmaster Gale Nolan (Norman Lloyd). However, their new English teacher John Keating (Robin Williams) tells the students that they may call him "O Captain! My Captain!" (the title of a Walt Whitman poem) if they feel daring. His first lesson is unorthodox by Welton standards, whistling the 1812 Overture and taking them out of the classroom to focus on the idea of carpe diem (Latin for 'seize the day') by looking at the pictures of former Welton students in a trophy case. In a later class Keating has Neil read the introduction to their poetry textbook, a staid, dry essay entitled "Understanding Poetry" by the fictional academic Dr. J. Evans Pritchard, Ph. D., which describes how to place the quality of a poem on a scale, and rate it with a number. Keating finds the idea of such mathematical literary criticism ridiculous (calling it "excrement") and encourages his pupils to rip the introductory essay out of their textbooks. After a brief reaction of disbelief, they do so gleefully as Keating congratulates them with the memorable line "Begone, J. Evans Pritchard, Ph. D" (much to the surprise and disbelief of one of Keating's colleagues). He later has the students stand on his desk as a reminder to look at the world in a different way, just as Henry David Thoreau intended when he wrote, "The universe is wider than our views of it" (Walden).

The rest of the movie is a process of awakening, in which the boys (and the audience) discover that authority can and must always act as a guide, but the only place where one can find out one's true identity is within oneself. To that end, the boys secretly revive an old literary club in which Keating had been a member, called the Dead Poets Society. Todd experiences a particular transformation when, out of a severe episode of self-consciousness, he fails to complete a creative writing assignment and is subsequently taken through an exercise of uncharacteristic self-expression, realizing the creative potential he truly possesses. One of the boys, Charlie Dalton, takes his new personal freedom too far and publishes a profane and unauthorized article in the school flyer. In this article, Charlie states that he wants to have girls allowed at Welton. To the amusement of the other boys, he fakes a phonecall from God saying that girls should be allowed at Welton. Dean Nolan paddles and interrogates Charlie about the others involved. Charlie says he acted alone.

Neil, without his father's permission, tries out for a local production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. He desperately wants to be an actor, but knows his father (Kurtwood Smith) will disapprove. One day when Neil walks into his dorm room, he finds his father waiting for him. He orders Neil to withdraw from the play, but Neil goes against his wishes and delivers a sterling performance as Puck. Infuriated by this affront to his authority, Neil's father plans to pull him out of Welton and to enroll him in Braden Military School to prepare him for Harvard University and pursue a career in medicine. Unable to cope with the future that awaited him and equally unable to make his father understand his passion for acting, Neil commits suicide with his father's revolver.

By the request of Neil's parents, the headmaster holds an investigation into the tragedy. Nolan gets help from one of the students, Richard Cameron. When Charlie Dalton finds out that Cameron has not only squealed on them, but also blamed Keating, he furiously attacks his former friend, and is expelled from Welton.

Neil's parents take no responsibility for his son's death and instead holds Keating responsible. In Nolan's office, Todd is forced to regretfully sign a written confession casting blame on his former teacher. It is implied that the other students who are still faithful to Keating were similarly forced. Keating is accused of inciting the boys to restart the Dead Poets Society, and is fired, even though they recreated it themselves.

In the film's dramatic conclusion, the boys return to English class following Keating's termination. The class is now being temporarily taught by Nolan, who has the boys read from the very Pritchard essay they had ripped out at the start of the semester. As the lesson drones on, Keating enters the room to retrieve a few belongings. On his way out, Todd apologizes to Keating for having signed the confession, citing the force exercised by the Academy. Keating acknowledges this. Nolan sternly orders Todd to be quiet and demands that Keating leave at once. As he exits the door, Keating is startled to hear "Captain! My Captain!" being called out by Todd, who has stood on his desk as Keating bid him to do earlier, demonstrating the new perspective Keating has taught him. Enraged, Nolan warns Todd to sit down immediately or face expulsion, only to be defied. Then, one after another, the members of the Dead Poet's Society (except Cameron) climb onto their desks (the first exclaiming "O Captain! My Captain!"--the others silenty but resolutely) as a form of salute. The furious Nolan is defeated; he cannot expel half the class without compromising the school's image, and with it his reputation. Keating is touched and thanks the boys. He then leaves Welton for good, satisfied that the life lessons he has imparted to them have left their marks.

1、查理则是天生的自由者的化身。

查理从出场到最后都贯彻着代表自我的思想之风。他心中藏着自由，只是等待时机将它释放。在影片中，他经常做些离经叛道的事情，他抽点小烟，一副玩世不恭的样子，在校方威胁他签字诬陷基廷时，他拒绝签字，然后被开除了。

2、陶德则是保守的自由渴望者。

他天生敏感，内心保守，开始就背负着哥哥是上届毕业生最优秀学生的巨大压力。陶德其实是影片中反差最大的人，最开始的他由于自卑敏感的心态，拒绝参与集体活动，可是受尼尔和基廷老师的影响，他渐渐改变。

3、尼尔是热烈的浪漫主义者。

他内心清楚知道自己想要做什么，他说自从他有记忆起就想要做表演。尼尔非常出众，他的成绩名列前茅，他始终是班级里最有力量的那个人，领导着大家去打破传统的思想禁锢，带领大家建立死亡诗社，帮助陶德释放自己，寻找自己心底真正的声音。

影片评价

影片9分40秒的开场，由103个镜头组成，其中80%为特写或近景镜头。通过典礼中反复出现的人物动作和表情，为观众营造出学校所特有的严肃呆板的气氛。典礼结束，人物开始走动，镜头也不再像之前一样固定。

通过人物和镜头的综合运动，剧情发展到宿舍内部阶段，镜头语言已经减弱，取而代之的是大量精辟的对话，剧作的功力得以展现。整部电影充满张力诗意和激情。

基廷老师的第一次出场是在学校的开学典礼上，他彬彬有礼地微笑着，就像一个性格温吞随和的中年男子，这副具有欺骗性的外表不仅与他后来一系列“惊世骇俗”的表现形成了鲜明的反差色调，也为他成为世俗社会牺牲品这一悲哀结局涂抹上了一层浓烈的生命质感。基廷老师的第一堂课，以轻快哼唱的小曲带领学生们远离井然有序的教室，表面上离经叛道，却直指生命。他让学生们停下浮躁的脚步，去面对那一张张年代久远的发黄照片，去聆听“卡匹迪恩”这句静默的忠告，去感悟时光的短暂和生命的消亡。
基廷的课总是充满意外和激情，他告诉学生，如果拜伦和莎士比亚被僵化的理论所遮蔽，那么就把这些理论从教科书里毫不犹豫地撕掉；他告诉学生，如果站在讲台上可以使我们换一种视角看世界，那么不妨发出自己的声音。他甚至将课堂搬到操场上，让学生在他面前排队行走，从走路的姿势分析他们的个性和心态。他让学生们踢球之前每人念一句激励自己的诗歌，告诉他们，在理性的现实之下，隐藏着一个梦幻、浪漫的世界，等待着我们去感知。他摒弃了刻板与教条，不用教鞭和体罚，却以诗歌、音乐、运动、以深厚的学识和热诚的心灵，在无拘无束的分享中去开启一颗颗懵懂的心灵。他不仅仅是学生们的导师，更是激励他们成长的精神之父。在基廷的感召下，年轻的心在呼唤中得到指引和鼓舞，在意气风发的青春岁月里，深深地感受到生命本真的喜悦和自由的照耀。而“卡匹迪恩”这个古老的诗句，也像一个神秘的咒语，将学生们引向了一个全新的领地，并且拥有了与世俗抗衡的力量与勇气。于是，他们成立了死亡诗社，查理开始施展他恶作剧的才能；诺克斯不顾一切地去追求他的爱情；尼尔第一次违背父亲的意愿，去实现自己的演员梦，就连一向胆小的托德，也在基廷的鼓舞下，跳到桌子上朗诵自己的诗歌。基廷就像一个船长，用自己的人格魅力感染着这一群在禁锢里压抑太久的年轻人，让他们明白生命就应该如野马般在原野上肆意驰骋，如群鸟般在天空中展翅飞翔。
除了基廷，影片对孩子们的角色塑造也非常成功。虽然人物众多，但个性却处理的十分鲜明。充满活力和激情的尼尔，古灵精怪，胆大妄为的查理，坠入爱河无力自拔的诺克斯，内向羞怯的托德，爱打小报告的卡梅隆，热衷于设计天线，制造电台的米克斯和皮茨。如果说基廷的角色给了影片一个重心和支点的话，那么这群性格各异的青年学生就为影片增添了绚烂的色彩。
尼尔无疑是这群男孩中最为优秀的一个，也是导演彼得•伟尔刻画的最为用力的角色。他英俊，善良，开朗，成绩优异又多才多艺。在父亲面前他是一个听话懂事的儿子，在同伴们中间他是公认的领袖。他第一个领会了基廷的话语，也是他精神振奋地率先重组“死亡诗社”，在激情与梦想的鼓舞下，他在《仲夏夜之梦》中找到了自己人生的坐标。面对来自父亲的强大压力，倔强的尼尔还是站上了梦寐以求的舞台，他把精灵演绎的惟妙惟肖，光芒四射。然而当帷幕落下，簇拥着欢呼与掌声的他，也为梦想付出高昂的代价。声色俱厉的父亲对儿子所思所想并不关心，在自我选择与家庭制约的尖锐矛盾中，他既不想成为父亲期望的那个人，也无力成为真正的自己。于是在那个飞雪的寒夜，尼尔戴着精灵花冠回溯了自我盛放的璀璨一刻之后，决绝地将年轻的生命终结在梦想的祭台。 基廷是一位友善开朗，十分热爱生活，教学生动活泼的优秀教师。他能不拘一格，摆脱俗套，让学生充分展现自己的才华，他用着一个个巧妙的方法教育着学生，如在第一节课让孩子们聆听古老照片发出的呼唤，好像荒唐可笑，却让孩子们意识到人生的价值观。他让孩子们对学习充满信心，把抽象难懂的课本撕掉，鼓励孩子们拥有自己的特色，他让孩子们站在讲台上读出自己的诗作，他带领孩子们踢球，每踢一次就说出一句自己想说的话。自然而然让学生们理解了诗的真谛。他鼓励学生做自己想做的有价值的事情。正如他所说的：“及时行乐。”他引诱学生们走向自己兴趣的殿堂，如他鼓励尼尔去参加自己喜欢的歌剧，虽然结局是可悲的。但电影的结尾还是表达出基廷那高尚的教师品格。他受到所有的学生敬佩。当在最后，学生们一起高喊“哦，我的船长！” 死亡诗社有哇，你可以点击我看简介，了解一下 《死亡诗社》影评:

个性与传统、创新与保守、个体与集体、理想与现实

看这部电影才知道，原来自己已经死去了好久，从某个不经意间被打破的清晨开始。
从某种意义上说，这部电影讲述的是太过纯净的故事。我说的太过是因为它没有被商业化得很滥情，所以也成就了它票房毒药的性质。一群青春年少的男孩们，一个对生命有独特理解的老师，还有他们生活其中的一所刻板严格的名牌中学。
影片主要讲了一群学生在基丁老师的指导下学会如何选择自己的人生，反抗给予他们压抑和束缚的教学体制，但又以一个学生的自杀和基丁老师的被辞为结尾。 情节的安排行云流水，没有任何花哨，只是在喜剧式的上半场走到沉郁的结局时，多少让人有点心情黯淡了，但正是这种被现实挫败的感觉，和着最后一个场景里抑郁中的高潮，升华了该片的寓意。回过头细细品味时，影片丰富的内涵甚至会让人分不清，究竟谁是该片的主角，基丁老师？学生？还是如铁屋般禁锢人的心灵的体制或者说是这个现实的世界？
在基丁的世界里，我们看到的是一个育人者如何在体制和教条下成为放逐者的故事。如果说，这部片子里有两个截然不同的世界，一个是象征着束缚和压抑的现实世界，另一个是体现了自由和激情的梦想的世界，那么，基丁就是这两个世界的联系点。他是现实世界里的老师，是拥有现实世界里诸多光环的人，但他更是指引着学生发现并珍视内心梦想的舵手（船长？），帮助学生坦然面对自己，面对生命的友人。他教会他们用不一样的眼光看世界，做不一样的自己，挑战那些在别人眼里是金科玉律的教条，走真正自己想走的路。无论是让学生撕掉权威关于诗歌的评价用自己的心去品读，还是让他们看到自己是如何随着别人的脚步改变自己的步伐的，基丁用他的人格魅力感染着这一群在禁锢里压抑太久的年轻人，让他们恢复了飞翔的勇气和向往飞翔的激情。但，属于基丁自己的结局是被校方因为“毒害”学生思想为名赶走了，似乎和遥远切近的时空里，那些个挑战者，背叛者的悲剧式命运无奈地呼应了。 盗火者给人们光明，而自己却永远只能背负着盗者的恶名，默默走开。
在尼尔的世界里，展现的是一个人如何从别人生命阴影里走出来，看看阳光洒在自己身上的光辉，做在想要走的路。尼尔在基丁老师的课堂上被点燃寻觅生命意义的激情，重组了死亡诗社，瞒着父母参与他梦寐于求的话剧的演出，他飞扬的生命在“仲夏夜之梦”里的精灵身上光芒万丈。然而当帷幕落下，他还得回到现实，面对父亲严厉冰冷的目光。在父母和梦想之间，尼尔无路可逃，终于，在一个飞雪的寒夜，他最后一次带上精灵的荆冠，踏着冰凉如水的夜色，了结了自己短暂的生命以一个自由而鲜活的生命的姿态发出他最后无言的愤懑。 在他的身上既能看到一个寻梦者的浪漫和激越，也能看到背负着现实生活压力的被束缚者的无奈和呻吟。
而片中还有一个不容忽视的角色，那就是托德。胆小，懦弱，发奋学习，沉默少语，看着他的时候，总觉得自己体内有某些部分和他共鸣着。在他无能平凡的外表下依然是隐藏着激情的，但他的激情总是默默流淌，直到影片的最后才有了一次无发抑制的爆发。基丁老师的走，他无能为力，甚至无奈地充当着指责人，在基丁离开教室的瞬间，他站在了课桌上，呼喊着：“船长，我的船长！”这是基丁教的方式，一种换种眼光看世界的方式。现在，这种方式成为公然嘲笑现实世界可悲束缚的武器，虽然对于这个麻木了太久的世界没有太大的杀伤力，但导演还是让我们看到在托德的带动下，班里的同学几乎都陆续地站了起来，场面有点煽情，也不是很真实，但这确实给了我们每个人继续前行的希望。 基丁走了，但没有人会怀疑，青春张扬的烙印永远留在了这些刚刚走上自己的人生道路的人心灵深处。
整部电影充满张力诗意和激情。其中有两个场景意象让我刻骨铭心。一次是表现秋野上黑压压的鸟群惊飞的空镜头，从未见过这么多 鸟在一瞬间飞起，其漫天之势宛如一股挣扎着奋起的力量，渴望一次不计代价不计后果的飞腾，它们扑翅的声响惊起秋野广袤的宁静，即使是短暂的，但也让这个世界听到了它们自己的声音。
还有就是黑夜里穿行于迷雾间的那几个向往自由的身影，寂寞的灵魂，向诗歌取暖，在诗歌的激情里颤栗。看不清他们的样子，只是觉得，不经意间，心随着他们奔向某个山洞，在那里倾泄所有的愤懑，在亢奋的目光里寻觅生活的力量。
