I'm Not Saying Dwarves Are Explicitly Gay I'm Saying They're Gay In The Way Birds Are Gay

i'm not saying dwarves are explicitly gay i'm saying they're gay in the way birds are gay

gender is a third date sort of question

Dead poets society, let me spit, is still popular for the simple reason (if not the setting or the storyline) the attitudes are real in the movie. The way they play on real teenagers and not the newer impersonation (Specifically, shows made for millennials instead of teenagers themselves... euphoria.) of teenagers is relatable. During the casting and actual filming, the director made it a point for them to be awkward, uncomfortably loud, and feminine, because teenagers are losers. It seems crass to say that, but it is just true. With Neil and his honestly sort of cringe personality it reminds you of actual theater kids. Todd is uncomfortable with almost every new experience, like a normal teenager. In the end, immaturity is their unbecoming. Neil didn't understand the implications of his death. Todd didn't want to understand that, at the end of the day, teenagers aren't listened to. 

This movie would be extremly diffrent if done now with the misrepresentation of what it is like to be a teenager. (Plus no one would actually like it lol.)

Guess who just made their first letterboxd list

One thing I really did enjoy about the Dead Poets Society book (even if I still don't like it more than the movie) is the emotion in it. The first scene with Neil's father feels uncomfortable in the book and its compelling. The anger, Todd's inability to comfort him, especially the early on mention of Neil hurting himself when upset. Then later on in the book, with the deskset scene, how helpless it feels. Neil wasn't a boy who could make everyone feel alright again, and I admire that about the book. (Because its more relatable) He was just a kid struggling to regulate his emotions. To explain them would have been impossible. The sudden bond between Todd and Neil also makes much more sense in the book because Todd is the only one who recognizes it. They were both so neglected it shaped them as people, even if it was different for both of them.

Also rip Neil Perry you would've loved gay marriage and therapy
