This is so empowering to see proving that despite how hard the churches and Canadian government tried. They failed to "kill the Indian in the child" and that we will continue to flourish in our beautiful culture ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 and we will never give up

About to introduce The Dead Poets Society to my best friend, will update on his thoughts.

One of my best friends has decided she wants to learn how to do makeup but she didn’t want to wear it herself because its bright colourful eyes and lips and glitter and she hates the attention. 

Now. My entire closet is made up of brown and black and dark greens and blues. I do not wear makeup but I also don’t care about people starring. So now, she wakes me up every few days super early to do my makeup. And you know what? It’s one of my favourite parts of the day. She puts on my hot pink eyeliner and I walk to my modern literature class feeling hot as hell. Telling everyone my friend did my makeup so proudly. And I’ve suddenly realized that no matter how much I hate mornings and the fact that by the end of the day my makeup is smudged it is all worth it to see my friend beam at me when she sees me and I tell her how many compliments I got. Because she still won’t wear eyeshadow anything outside of neutrals and I still won’t wear clothes brighter than a navy blue. And its like I have a little part of her every time I go to class. 

Dead Poets Society and Mental Illness

I realise that this may come at a sensitive time due to the tragic and heartbreaking death of Robin Williams through depression and suicide, but I’ve had this on my mind for a long time, and I want to write it out to clear my head of it.

Todd and Social Anxiety. At the start of the film (and less so throughout) Todd is a very anxious, jittery fellow, who refuses to read poetry in front of other people, stammers a little and remains very quiet. These are all classic signs of Social Anxiety Disorder.

Neil and Bipolar Disorder. One minute, Neil is playing Puck and is so incredibly happy. The next, he is dead. Although Bipolar disorder generally takes longer than that to change between stages, some people do report that their Bipolar Disorder can se over a day or two. Just look at the rest of the film: Neil is either wildly passionate and reckless (eg. throwing the desk set over the bridge) or he is utterly blank and quiet (eg. when with his parents after the performance). I think he had, to some extent, Bipolar Disorder.

Charlie and Depression. Throughout the film, Charlie presents himself as a reckless, happy and funny character. However, I feel like he had depression. He was so reckless and unconsciously attention-seeking that he pulled that phone prank, consequences be damned, just for that tiny bit of attention. He cried when he told Todd of Neil’s death. He appears so internally broken in some scenes (“Damn it Neil, the name’s Nuwanda.” coming to mind) that I can’t help but think he was depressed. Due to his reckless and impulsive behaviours, I feel like Neil’s death would have shocked and damaged him as much as Todd, if not more. I mean, he punched a sneak knowing that he would be expelled. He had given up. Another sign of depression.

I spent way too much time on this quiz to determine what character you‘d play in a Dead Poets Society remake … . . so you better take it 👀
