a movie i watched at the beginning of the summer was dead poets society a movie that features robin williams and ethan hawke the movies back drop is set at waltons boys academy an all boys preparatory school where an english teacher uses unorthodox methods to help the guys in his class break out of their shells and purse their dreams and seize the day.
if you’ve seen the movie the character ethan hawke plays todd anderson is a very shy but a very smart kid compared to his very out spoken and upbeat roommate played by robert sean leonard neil perry in this specific scene john keating (the english teacher) wanted everyone to write a poem and present it in front of the entire class but because todd anderson is so shy he doesnt have the confidence to do it so keating tells anderson to come up to his desk and its here where keating shuts andersons eyes and spins him around while yelling at him to build some confidence and read his poem. this scene is so powerful because keating was able to help anderson burst out of his shyness and help him become a confident english student and from this point forward todd anderson isnt the shy kid but someone who can be as outspoken like his roommate neil perry
