[quote=Anonymous][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]
I agree. The plot would turn and do something unexpected. I think the look of the cold NE winter with so much snow was so perfect. It was an inspirational teacher story, but still felt original. The characters were well fleshed out and transcended cliche. It was quite funny too. [/quote]
