It's April and that means the A to Z Blogging Challenge!
This year my theme is film terms.
A sequence is a scene, or connected series of related scenes that are edited together and comprise a single, unified event, setting, or story within a film's narrative. It also refers to scenes that structurally fit together in the plot.
Dead Poets Society (1989) "O' Captain, My Captain!" sequence.
This is one of my favorite films of all time. A teacher at an elite private school uses unorthodox methods to teach his students the beauty, purpose and passion of poetry. In this scene, John Keating (Robin Williams) has been blamed for a student's suicide and fired from his teaching position. In this scene, his students show their admiration and love for him.
Great clip. Dropping by from the challenge.
ReplyDeleteWendy, thanks for stopping by. Happy blogging!
ReplyDeleteI liked the end scene where a few students did not get on the desks. It made the scene so much more believable.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. Not everyone went along with Mr. Keating. I always tear up at this part. Such a beautiful "protest."
DeleteI love this movie and miss Robin Williams. He was so wise in his acting and comedy. Thanks for the clip.
ReplyDeleteAlso like your very succinct explanation of a scene.
ReplyDeleteLori, I agree. It's a beautiful sequence and shows Robin Williams's amazing versatility as an actor and performer.
DeleteI saw that movie at the theater when it first came out, but I don't remember too much about it. I need to watch it again.
ReplyDeleteStephanie, I've seen it several times but I have to be in a certain mood to watch it. It is a tear jerker beyond belief.
