I think it was a film filled with emotion( at the last bit especially)and it shows the love and the
strong friendship ther is between them.I think it is a great film and i would love to see it again.

This was a great movie.It was sad at the end but it was
still a good movie.I almost cried when Robin Williams was
fired from being a teacher.He loved teaching so much.It was
a touching movie.

This was a pretty enjoyable movie. It's one of the the
better movies that Williams made at a time when he made
wise career choices.

The movie was quite enjoable and moving in many ways. The
characters made the movie such a success as it was...the
ending however was a disappointment. For some reason I
expected more to come out of the ending, more of a
resolution....but over all it was a good movie!

This is a must for all businessmen/women. There are 3 or 4
key lessons in the film which should be held close to every
CEO's heart.
"Seize the day" must be the highlight of the film and
should have similar status to "of all the bars in all the
world..........." etc.
Look at the same thing from a different angle - the
standing on the desk scene.
Dare to be different - the walking outside scene.
See this film as a business tool (Jack Black did)and it
will be worth sending to your boss.

I think this was a great movie and i would recommend this
to anyone who enjoys drama with a little bit of comedy in
as well. I would love to see it again.

i found this film extremely inspiring..
after watching it i even imagined how i would've turned out
if all my teachers were as passionate and "unpredictable"
as Robin Williams :)

This an an excellant movie, I laughed and cried, then
cried some more. THis movie is not only riveting, it has
moved me emotionally. Robin Williams is an exceptional
character as well Robert Sean Leonard, I look forward for
another film like it.

I found this film to be very inspiring and very emotional.
It was extraordinary seeing a teacher as bizarre and as
witty as Mr Keating (Robin Willians) standing with pride
and with confidence and stance in front of his pupils and
demanding them to rip out the introduction from their
books as if it were prohibited and allowed. It was a
memorable and an extremely lovely film that I have
recently seen and I say to you film viewers to "seize this
movie with both your hands and watch it".
