[quote=Anonymous]I really loved the movie. It was a standard premise, yes, but the ending isn't predictable -- it's actually very different in this respect from Dead Poets Society, which is kind of cringe. The character development is really interesting and is accomplished through good old-fashioned story-telling and great acting. In addition to the scene in the kitchen that another poster mentioned, there were several other scenes that stand out -- Mary and Paul in the teacher's lounge where she speaks to him in a completely honest way about who he is and what his life is like; Dom picking up on what's happening when they run into Paul's old classmate and then coming to the rescue. Finally, the movie so beautifully inhabits a very specific time and place. It is transporting. [/quote]
