This has to be my favorite movie of all time. I rewatch it all the time. It is so deep, beautiful and has so many quotes to learn from. My favorite character had to be Neil, and just because I cant just choose one person as a favorite, my other favorite character is Nuwanda. I really loved both of them. The whole movie in general made me rethink about my life, reflect and changed my perspective in so many ways. I could, in some scenes, see myself in Neil. Sometimes in Todd. "Carpe diem" was one of the sayings/quotes that I dont think Ill ever be able to forget. "Is it better to speak, or to die?" Neil was so close to speaking, but *sigh*, I cried alot during the ending. I would definitely do anything to watch it for the first time all over again. Some scenes hurt, some scenes brought me so much joy. Here are some quotes that really stuck with me.
We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race, and the human race is filled with passion.
Prof. Keatings
Medicine, law, business, engineering -these are noble pursuits, and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love-these are what we stay alive for.
Savor language and words because no matter what anyone tells you, words and ideas have the power to change the world.
I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life. To put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived.
Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary
O Captain, My Captain!
