Carpe diem

Seize the day，Carpe diem

看完這部電影，我在記事貼上寫下了這幾個詞。把握今天，及時行樂，這幾個詞，有誰真正做到過? 但或許某一天回過頭來，至少能說曾經做到過，這就夠了。

Neil Perry's death

期冀自由的心靈，遇上編織的大網，一場悲劇釀成。專制的父親，一次又一次的將兒子理想扼殺，沒有絲毫的通融與理解。Neil很有才華，從校刊編輯，死亡詩社的重建到參演舞台劇，無不顯示他的才華與勇氣，而更重要的是他有一顆自由的心靈。不遵循甚至被稱作"叛逆"不是罪過，而是年輕人飛揚的激情與和刻板專制教育的嘲諷與反叛。

Todd 安德生/Ethan Hawke

看到一半的時候，突然發現Todd有點像Ethan Hawke，一查演員表，沒想到還真是他，89年的時候Ethan還是只有19歲，那個時侯真是年輕啊，還很是青澀。而Todd的性格與Ethan的形象也很是相稱，懦弱的性格與膽怯的面孔、言語聯繫在一起。但最終，他第一個站在了課桌上，說道: O captain!My captain! 那一刻，所有的怯懦從他的身上散去，我只看到一顆勇敢的心。

Knox Overstreet

從看到Chris的第一眼起，就愛上了她，神魂無錯。打電話時的緊張，先前的怯懦到勇敢的追求，Carpe diem的實踐者。

Charles Dalton/Nuwanda

泡妞的高手，英俊的的面容，反叛的性格，Free thinker，讓我想起了曾經的一個同學.

O CAPTAIN! my Captain!

Walt Whitman

O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather』d every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
  
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills;
For you bouquets and ribbon』d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck,
You』ve fallen cold and dead.

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchor』d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;
Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
