"Dead Poets Society" is an inspirational film directed by Peter Weir and starring Robin Williams, Ethan Hawke, and Robert Sean Leonard. Now let me share with you my thoughts after watching Dead Poets Society. You are welcome to read it.

Thoughts after watching Dead Poets Society 1

I really like a movie called "Spring Breeze" (also known as "Dead Poets Society"). Every time I watch this movie, there is a strong tremor that echoes in my heart, which makes me unable to let it go for a long time.

There is this line at the beginning of the movie: "Has your life ever been changed by someone? I have not. But I know that the paths of those students at Wilton School in the United States were changed by a teacher. "

The movie depicts the process of a cutting-edge teacher challenging the educational method that restricts ideas. The process is heart-stirring, but the result is disappointing. In an aristocratic school that is monotonous and restrictive, the teacher named Keating challenges the rigid education model.

He encouraged students to stand on the desk and observe the world around them from a new perspective; he introduced many thoughtful poems to students; the free and divergent thinking philosophy he advocated was popular among students It caused a huge response.

He spared no opportunity to teach students to cherish their youth and "seize every day" to absorb the essence of life. He inspired these students with the Latin phrase carpe diem (seize the day). He inspires every student, frees them from the constraints and fetters of habits and personality, and awakens the passion for creation and desire for achievement in everyone's heart. He told his students: Don't follow others blindly, don't be confused by creeds, only your heart knows who you really want to be, and only you can find your own value.

Every time I watch this movie, my heart surges.

In caring for and helping Chinese college students for 10 years, I have spared no effort to spread the value of "being the best version of yourself". I hope to share and help through writing, speeches, the Internet, etc. Share the survival feelings of young people in this era, and try my best to provide some of my experiences for them to choose as a reference. I hope that like Teacher Keating, I can help Chinese youth understand how to let their ideals fly in reality, and then understand the meaning of life. Let them know that "the world can be different because of you."

Starting from a sense of responsibility, I feel unprecedented fulfillment and satisfaction in the process of helping college students, and I am also surrounded by a great sense of happiness. This sense of happiness comes from the great trust given to me by the students, and also from the hope that their continuous growth brings to future Chinese people. It also comes from my deep feeling of the value of my life. Every day I go into this job brings me great excitement, and every moment leaves me with deep memories.

As time goes by, in the process of communicating with Chinese youth, I feel not only the responsibilities, opportunities and potentials, but also what I have gained from this job has given me a deeper understanding of life. thinking. I often ask myself: "How can I impart more of my knowledge to Chinese youth?" I sometimes also think that although I am willing to make life plans for college students and find their inner voice, after all, I am a technology person. He is a professional manager. I have more knowledge in the field of technology and understand the secrets of business success.

In the past 20 years, I have been fortunate enough to learn and grow around world-class entrepreneurs such as Jobs, Gates, and Schmidt. I have been fortunate enough to experience Apple and Microsoft in the PC era, and I have been fortunate enough to experience Google in the Internet era. I have been privileged to see the growth and success of these three world-class companies, and I have been privileged to do some of the most creative work in Silicon Valley in the United States and Zhongguancun in China during their rise. These professional experiences are my most valuable assets, and I very much hope to pass these assets on to Chinese youth.

I believe that Chinese youth need these assets. Especially when I see some young people eager to use their own knowledge to start a business, but often have a broken head due to their lack of experience, a desire to guide them gradually takes over my heart.

Once upon a time, there was a student suffering from a serious disease who decided to start a business and insisted on getting my support. When he came to Beijing, he made sure to see me, saying that if I didn’t see him, he would not receive treatment.

When I finally met him and listened to him explain his concept, I felt that he didn't understand entrepreneurship at all and was bound to fail. My feeling is: He needs an entrepreneurial mentor to help him learn from the basics and gradually enter the entrepreneurial journey.

Once upon a time, a former Microsoft employee who went through all the trouble to find me asked me to help him with ideas for his start-up company and to be his entrepreneurial coach. I agreed. He has great potential. After my simple guidance, he stood out at the angel investment conference and received first place and a start-up capital. However, although his technology was extremely innovative, he did not think clearly about the needs of users. I tried my best to persuade him to give up, but he didn't listen. In the end, I could only watch his company go into trouble. My feeling is: He needs an entrepreneurial mentor to help him choose projects and make useful innovations.

Once upon a time, there was an international student from a prestigious American university who tried every possible means to find me for help. He is a pure technical genius and has built a great company. As a result, Google became his business partner. But two years later, at the instigation of a lawyer, he found a legal loophole and tried to charge Google twice for one business. My feeling is: He needs an entrepreneurial mentor to teach him that any company that is built to last will have the value of integrity.

I think that if these three have good entrepreneurial mentors, they may become China's next Jack Ma or Ding Lei, but now they are working alone in the Internet arena, and their chances of finally standing out are quite slim.

I think if they have good entrepreneurial mentors around them, their probability of success may increase several times.

I think that helping more Chinese young people realize their entrepreneurial dreams should be a meaningful and influential thing, and it is a continuation of my long-standing help to Chinese college students.

Time passed, and as Google China’s operations gradually stabilized, the dream of resigning and starting a business became increasingly clear. Taking the lead from me, the desire to create a youth "innovation workshop" gradually emerged. In this "innovation workshop", I hope to lead these creative young people in an environment with teachers, so that they can receive guidance and explore their potential. , create creative enterprises that can have a meaningful impact on society.

In August 2009, I finally made another decision to "follow my heart", breaking away from the inherent professional manager model and truly realizing my life goal of "helping others realize their dreams" . Once, I used "The world is different because of me" to inspire myself to pursue my dreams. Today, I use "The world is different because of you" to inspire others to explore their potential.

If we are extremely lucky, maybe we can develop an international brand that goes global. If we are very lucky, perhaps the Sinovation Ventures can create a new generation of leading high-tech companies in China. But even if I am not so lucky, as long as we can create some valuable companies, make products that are meaningful to users, and cultivate a group of young people with entrepreneurial abilities, these will make me feel the meaning of life.

When I think about my new job, my heart is filled with excitement. Like Teacher Keating standing on the desk, the world in my eyes has a different scenery.

In the future, China will become the world's largest economy, and this day will come sooner than we think. Therefore, Chinese companies must quickly learn to move to the international stage. When China becomes the largest in the world 20 years from now, the most successful companies in China are likely to be founded in the next five years, and they are also likely to be created in the fields of e-commerce, mobile Internet and cloud computing that the "Innovation Factory" focuses on. . When I think about this, Teacher Keating's famous saying will appear in my mind: carpe diem (seize the day and night), "seize every day."

Therefore, at this critical moment, I must seize today and explore a new journey of life.

I deeply remember a scene in "Spring Breeze". When Teacher Keating led the students to search for the meaning of life, he recited Thoreau's poem - the famous line in "Walden Pond" :

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived..."

"I walked into the jungle because I want to live meaningfully, I want to live deeply and absorb all the essence of life and then learn from it. When my life ends, I find that I have never lived. ”

Seize everything to explore the meaning of life. One day, the world will be different because of you.

Thoughts after watching Dead Poets Society 2

The movie "Dead Poets Society" mainly tells the story of a group of students at Wilton Preparatory Academy and a man named John Keating. teacher. Teacher John Keating advocates a philosophy of free and divergent thinking and encourages students to observe the world around them from a new perspective. He asks students to call him "Oh, captain, my captain" instead of the teacher, and even asks students to read the preface in the textbook. All torn. Teacher John Keating's unique educational method adds a bit of vitality to this school. But the school disliked him very much, because Wilton Preparatory College was respected by people at the time for his dignified style. The educational model of this college was completely fixed, monotonous and bound the students' minds. Therefore, his educational method Rated as an unorthodox approach to education.

He guided the children to rebuild the "Dead Poets Society". He let them use their own momentary inspiration to compose poems, allowing them to have their own opinions, instead of blindly following others and not going through the process. own thinking. He made a group of timid children become bold and cheerful.

Todd was originally the timidest student in the class, but later became more cheerful due to the encouragement of teacher John Keating.

John Keating also encouraged a child named Neil to do what he wanted to do - act, and acted a great play, instead of being a child who only listened to his parents and did not act like he did before. A boy who dares to do what he loves. But Neil eventually committed suicide because his father wanted him to go to Harvard and become a doctor, while Neil himself wanted to be an actor, but could not get the consent of his family. The school used the threat of expulsion to force several other Neil's classmates to sign, and fired teacher John Keating.

I think the only thing that teacher John Keating failed to do well was that he failed to teach students how to deal with things and pressure, and Neil failed to withstand the blow from his father and shot himself.

Teacher John Keating in the movie "Dead Poets Society" inspired me a lot. He told me: You must have passion in everything you do, and you must have new ideas in doing things. Doing things requires not only courage but also courage. Be smart...I am grateful for this movie!

Thoughts after watching Dead Poets Society 3

Now looking back on the first class of this semester, this is the movie that quietly entered our field of vision. I watched the movie "Dead Poets Society" quietly, but after watching it I couldn't calm down for a long time.

I was interested in Teacher Keating’s uniqueness. I was amazed when the teacher told the students to tear out a page from the textbook. I was amazed when I saw the teacher leading the students to learn in different ways outside the classroom. I was excited when I saw Teacher Keating's wonderful guidance to Anderson in class, that is, asking him to close his eyes, and then a series of questions made Anderson speak his mind without fear. When I saw students reviving "Dead Poets Society", I longed for it. When I saw Neil's death, I deeply regretted it.

When I was sitting in a quiet classroom, watching the end of the film during three classes, I suddenly felt my eyes getting hot, and I felt like crying but not sad. What echoed in my mind was Teacher Keating's words were the words "Captain! my captain!" that the students finally stood on the table and looked at Teacher Keating who was about to leave with serious and thoughtful eyes.

I learned from it. I saw the recognition, I saw the perseverance, I saw the spiritual piety, I saw the results of Teacher Keating’s education - he taught some people who have their own thoughts and opinions, have personality and pursuits, and have integrity and perseverance. A student with bright eyes.

I have some thoughts about education. I think this movie tells us that education is a process of conveying ideas, a process full of innovation and enthusiasm. The purpose of education is to make every student Have your own personality and thoughts, your own pursuits and beliefs, persevere, always maintain integrity, do not follow rules, emphasize your own independence, and emphasize the pursuit of the soul. I like Teacher Keating very much. I really like watching Teacher Keating teach students and the atmosphere when talking with students.

While deeply admiring Teacher Keating, I am very eager to meet such a teacher myself, because when I saw Anderson’s fear of speaking, I thought of myself, who was also the same in the past. I couldn't express my thoughts generously and without scruples. Later, it gradually developed and I felt that I had no ideas when faced with problems, and my brain and heart were sluggish at the same time. I thought this was terrible and sad. I can't find my own thoughts and personality. In the same life, I, a living entity, have become the same. Such a life is really not brilliant and meaningful enough. I thought, how great it would be if there was such a teacher who guided me to find confidence and the feeling of expressing my thoughts regardless of all costs. What I remember most deeply is what Teacher Keating said to Anderson, "Remember you now feeling".

I also understand that feeling, a feeling of bravery and confidence.

Thoughts after viewing Dead Poets Society 4

Recently, I don’t seem to be very calm inside. I re-read some news about Southern University of Science and Technology a few days ago, and I really admire President Zhu Qingshi. Coincidentally, while reading "The World Is Different Because of You" again, Kai-fu Lee mentioned a movie called "Dead Poets Society", and the English teacher that day strongly recommended it. So, calming down and watching this movie suddenly became a matter of course in my heart. After reading it, I still feel quite complicated.

First of all, let’s talk about my favorite teacher, John Keating. I think he was rebellious at heart when he was young. Eager for freedom, humorous and innovative, being able to become a teacher is a real blessing for the students who can listen to his lessons. I remember a scene where his college asked him: "what you want them to be?" he answered: "free thinker". It was a simple answer, but I think it answered the ultimate goal of education. Just think, can a person who does not have the ability to think independently be called a complete person?

Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of the big environment in which I live. Everyone takes the same courses, listens to the same teacher, and takes the same test... What is this if not a "diploma factory"? I don't want to say too much here, and I will summarize it in a while.

john keating was eventually fired. To be honest, I feel sad. It also made me understand something: a person cannot defeat a physical constitution or some unspoken rules, even if they are extremely pedantic. But from another perspective, John Keating is lucky. His sacrifice was not in vain. He at least influenced some people, allowing them to re-understand themselves and let them understand how they want to challenge the future, although some people paid for it. The price of life (this is the most regrettable and sad scene in the play), but I feel that at least they have made progress, at least they are like a complete person.

Regarding reality, I don’t dare to have too many extravagant hopes. I don’t expect to have a spirit leader like John Keating to guide me (maybe there is one, but I haven’t discovered it yet).

All I can do is work hard to change myself and be responsible for myself.

Writing this, I suddenly thought of Southern University of Science and Technology, and I hope she has a bright tomorrow.

Thoughts after viewing Dead Poets Society 5

The background of "Dead Poets Society" is Wilton Preparatory Academy, a high-quality church school in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. This is a high-quality school that believes in "tradition, honor, discipline, and excellence."

Beginning scene: "Review again, after your candle is lit..." This procedure is repeated every year at the opening ceremony. The old teacher was reminded again, showing the school affairs Very rigorous, traditional and meticulous. The sound of the organ: the light of knowledge...lighting the candles...makes the opening ceremony awe-inspiring. When the school was founded, there were only 5 students. Among the 51 graduates this year, 75% of the students have been promoted to Ivy League schools." The principal said proudly, "This is the result of actively practicing the beliefs taught by this school. It is the best college preparatory school in the country. ”

Close-up shot: A couple turned and looked at their children with smiles at the same time. The children were also full of pride. However, under the gorgeous and noble appearance, there are also many problems in the education of this high-quality school. The big problem: it is just like the schools under exam-oriented education in China, with unified curriculum, unified standards, unified management, and the goal of admission rate. Heavy homework, repetitive and monotonous Latin classes, and strict homework requirements are depressing. The nature, desires and free thoughts of students.

The new semester has begun, and the school has returned to its usual bustle. The old students chatted affectionately about summer vacation, and the new students, transfer students and their parents both I am excited and looking forward to communicating with the teachers. This year, we should continue the past tradition. Each graduate will study hard through his own efforts, and finally be admitted to an enviable prestigious major, and continue to perform brilliantly in this prestigious school. A new teacher came in this semester, John Keating, but the school almost came to the brink of collapse. What happened?

Keating is a teacher with a very special teaching method. He went against the traditional teaching methods and used unique methods to stimulate students' ideological vitality, allowing them to release their repressed hearts, long for mysterious things, free thoughts, romantic love, and begin to understand themselves. But his teaching philosophy is incompatible with this. However, the method seriously conflicts with the school's traditional educational ideas and methods, and is not recognized. It can only end in tragedy, making people sigh and ponder.

The whole film can be found here. There are many elements to explore: the conflict between traditional education and modern education, parent-child communication issues, the education of adolescent children, persistence and breakthroughs in school education concepts, group cooperative learning, summer practical activities, discussion of the essence of aristocratic spirit, drama curriculum development... … Even the metaphors of caves, clocks, birds, heavy snow, character analysis, etc. are all worthy of analysis and consideration. Due to space limitations, this article only discusses the inevitability and consequences of the failure of my colleague, Teacher John Keating’s educational methods. Inspiration to me.

Teacher Kedding has qualities and vision beyond ordinary people, but his personality can be summed up in one word as "out of place"!

First of all, his appearance is out of place. . Robin Williams's natural comedian appearance contrasts sharply with his serious, rigorous, quiet and elegant campus atmosphere and his academically rich older colleagues, whether it is in the solemn moment of the opening ceremony or in his speech. The exaggerated expressions of students when teaching, or the small movements he makes when inspiring students (thumbs up, eyebrows raised, eyes winked), are full of comedy and farce.

Keating's teaching method is also full of comedy. It was incompatible with tradition. His appearance was astonishing: whistling (Lao Chai's 1812 Overture, I think it represents freedom and liberation), he slowly wandered around the classroom, and then walked out of the classroom to the surprised eyes of the students. . Then the protagonist showed his talent as a comedian, poked his head at the door and said: "Well, come on!" The students were confused and didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling. A few bolder ones stood up hesitantly, and the rest could only follow step by step to the school history exhibition room. His first words were "Oh, Captain, my Captain!". You can call me that from now on.

"Thus, through humorous explanations and exaggerated movements, students can listen to the sound of death, reflect on the meaning of life, and firmly remember the word "CARPE DIEM" to seize the time (pick your buds).

If the appearance is still eye-catching, tearing up the book seems deviant. I think of Qingwen's tearing down of the fan in "A Dream of Red Mansions", which represents some kind of rebelliousness and resistance in Qingwen's character. The scene also reflects Keating’s educational philosophy of daring to challenge authority. “This is a battle! A battle! Learn to think for yourself, learn language and writing.

We read and write poetry not for fun, but because we are a part of human beings, and human beings are full of passion." Keating roared excitedly, and the children around him went crazy. After that He asked the boys to read poems on the green field, encouraging the students to stand on the desks and overlook everything around them from a new perspective; he encouraged and acquiesced in them to set up the Dead Poets Society, violate the access control, gather in the cave to read poems and express their secrets Ideas... The above-mentioned practices are bound to be popular with children of this age: the children are finally excited to discover that they have an idealistic teacher who is a little rebellious, a little decadent, passionate, and full of fantasy just like them. . He freely exuded his desire for independent and romantic life, so he began to admire him and get close to him. "Beautiful and romantic love, these are the meaning of our lives." The poems Kedding picked up at random were so exciting and fascinating. . Romance is always attractive. This is what leads to the tragedy of himself and his students. There is a famous saying in Google’s corporate culture: Don’t believe what Hippo says! The reason why employees are encouraged to think independently and be creative. Companies imitate and admire it because it is in today's free and liberal environment, but it should never be placed in the era of the film. However, Keating did this and made people worry about him. /p>

The main line of Neil's growth and struggle in the film is similar to Keating's struggle between liberal philosophy and traditional education concepts. Teacher Keating was curious and found out from the alumni album that Keating was a member of Dead Poets Society, so he excitedly encouraged his classmates to join Dead Poets Society and resume its secret activities. By the way, I think "Dead Poets Society" is a member of Dead Poets Society. The title foreshadows the ending of the poetry club being suppressed, betrayed and disintegrated. The punishment is not only slapped on Newwanda, but also on the Dead Poets Society and every member of Neil's drama. , was strongly suppressed by his father: If you don't study hard, what kind of drama will you do? Note of bitterness: I made a lot of sacrifices to let you study here. So Keating encouraged Neil to go home and talk to his father again. Neil did as he was told, but this conversation was obviously unsuccessful, so Neil anxiously told Keating that he had already talked to his father and wanted to come with his father's agreement. It's just that I have to go on a business trip for four days. In fact, we can see that he was obviously lying. They must have had a big fight, and my father didn't agree. So after his son performed, even though he was so successful, his father asked him to transfer to another school. There was no dialogue, no communication, no appreciation, only power and obedience. Then he went to Harvard and became a doctor... ...There is no room for error in life... Unfortunately, Keating had no experience in this area and could not see Neil's inner pain and struggle, so what he said in front of Neil after the performance was overturned by his father. It was very disappointing. In the end, Neil's suicide made people think about it. This could have been a happy ending. Because Keating's ideas are not wrong, Neil's interests deserve protection and encouragement, but they are incompatible with the facts, so someone must pay the price for it.

The ultimate goal of education is to teach people to follow their own path, have independent thoughts, a critical spirit, and continue to grow. The film expresses its thoughts on the purpose of education twice: Scene 1: Friendly reminder from a well-meaning colleague: "It is very risky for you to encourage them to become artists. I feel relieved that they are no longer full of random thoughts." Keating retorts: “Not to be an artist, but to be a free thinker.

Only in dreams can human beings be free." In this ideological confrontation, Keating won a small victory; Scene 2: The principal criticized Keating's approach, and he only replied: "I think the purpose of education "The purpose is to teach students to think independently," he was interrupted impatiently, "and to teach them tradition and discipline." Send them to college and forget about the rest!" This time, Keating's power was too small, which reflected the stubbornness of the traditional forces. So the tragedy happened. Just like "Mona Lisa Smile", "Life Because of You" The endings of "Beauty" and "Spring of the Cowherd Class" are the same. These outstanding teachers with educational vision were fired from the school, but it was their existence that led to the continuous progress of education.

< p> After analyzing the inevitability of Keating’s failure, we need to think about how to be a teacher. What lessons do we need to learn from Keating’s education? For example, Keating is obviously not a perfect teacher, and his views are too radical. "Carpe Diem" has certain negative aspects. He unilaterally encouraged students to think independently but did not tell them how to "correctly understand various conflicts in life and make rational choices." He himself also did not realize that Neil's parents and school authorities "rationality" and looking for better development possibilities in complex situations. This may be Keating's romantic complex and radical thinking that led to the ultimate setback of his education. He must not have considered that after fighting alone with traditional education, he Unable to protect himself, he persuaded Neil to talk to his father again, but blindly encouraged him without understanding Neil's family situation and Neil's personality characteristics...

Keating's understanding of the purpose of education It seems to be correct at the moment, and even some of his ways of interacting with students in the classroom are worth learning. Conflicts are inevitable in this process, but Neil's death is not inevitable. It has its limitations and needs to be improved urgently. Life is not just passionate and emotional, and it cannot be too poetic.

In addition, life is still mathematical, scientific, and rational. It is indispensable, but teachers must not have the concept of a single subject in education, and must minimize their influence on other subjects. There is nothing wrong with being passionate about life, but passion needs to be guided and needs to be combined with rationality as much as possible. Avoid leading students into an excessive and crazy passion - this kind of excessive passion is only possible in occasional parties and poetry gatherings, but life cannot be in that state for a long time, otherwise... it will fall into Nazi-style fanaticism middle. In this way, the rational part and the irrational part of life are in a state of fierce confrontation" (Qian Guoxiang). The movie "The Wave" is about this kind of continuous passion that eventually leads to fanaticism and chaos.

The famous educator Mr. Gu Lingyuan once said: It is a good idea to find a middle ground in education. Educational reform requires a middle ground. If it is too radical, there will be no time to think about it, so we need to constantly find a balance. Two extreme examples, such as the Du Langkou teaching model and the "teaching-oriented" monotonous teaching model. Then, through constant adjustments to the teaching content, we can achieve our own balance. "Education is always an art of balance. Find the best route on a certain river. There is balance in front, there is balance at the end, and there is a constant flow back and forth in the middle. "(Wei Zhiyuan).

It is undeniable that it is precisely because of Keating's unhesitating educational experiment that we can see his greatness and the hope of education. At the end of the film, there is the most Touching scene: The students stood on the table and called him: "Captain, my captain". Why didn't all the students stand on the table? Because this is the perfect ending. Even if you have the passion and courage to do it, go ahead. Experimentation and exploration, but there will still be a considerable number of people who choose to compromise (or temporary compromise). This is the success of Keating's educational philosophy - everyone has their own independent thinking and ideas, even if it is not possible now. Mature.
