I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable, I sound my barbaric YAWP over the roofs of the world.

Albert Einstein once said "imagination is more important that knowledge". I believe that this is more true today than it ever was. One of the most popular themes in entertainment is the "think for yourself" story. The first time I saw the dead poets society I had the desire to suck the passion out of life and just be myself. Sometimes it is hard to be able to let go and be the one who has no hang-ups, sometimes it is impossible to just believe that accomplishing your goals is matter of endurance and self motivation. Mr. Keaton took a bunch of words old dead guys wrote, and changed the lives of a group of seventeen year old boys. In Mona Lisa smile, one woman changed the ideals of how a classroom of brain boxed women looked at themselves through art. Looking behind the words, under the paint, these characters proved that the most important opinion is your own. Who cares what other people think? What do YOU think? This is the best part of cinema today, it can prove a point that cannot be expressed with the randomness of every day situations. Characters like these make that knot in your throat surface and the ambition swell beneath your breast. Even though they are characters in a movie, the stories were all written by people. People with the same ambition and willingness to be different, people trying to inspire and impress, people like you and me.
