    Dead Poets Society

    This has probably been brought up many times, but last night I was watching "Dead Poets Society" and there's a piper in it. He wasn't a particularly good piper, but it was cool to have one in the film. I did a screen shot of a part when he is playing by the lake:



    What a lovely shot. I'm hoping I can get a photo like this when I'm up North this summer.

    I second and third the opinions about it being a great movie. And it's got Robin Williams actually acting! And the Guy who plays Wilson in the TV show House (all grown up now, but he was a cool teenage actor back then).

    It is a beautiful shot. I learned all my counseling techniques from watching Robin Williams in his movies.

    Takes a lot to get this grizzled ol' bird to shed a tear...the scene where the students stand on their desks in support of their teacher does it for me.

    It is a great movie, and it is full of talent. Robin Williams gave a great performance. I think "Comedic" Actors do VERY well in Dramatic Roles.
