Air ChenChen Taolue(H11000920)Writing 111Pro.Fang ZongxiangDec. 7th.2011The Society Make the ManIf we shadows have offended,think but this and all is mended.That you have but slumbered here while these visions did appear.And this weak and idle theme,no more yielding,but a dream.(1)These words come from the film(Dead Poets Society),they are the lines said by Neil at the end of his performance.In the film,Neil is a talent student who is fond of performing,but his father doesnt give the chance for him to show his talent of performing.In order to chase his dream,Neil gets a chance to perform a shadow in a drama on the sly.Although against his fathers wish,he never has the thought to offend others,he just wants to live his dream. When he comes back to the reality,It is totally converse,he,Neil,just the person,whose dream was offended by others.Before watching this film, I always thought that attending excellent universities,finding a well-paid job and getting married with a beautiful woman are the patents of Chinese students,but after watching this film,my original thought has no reason to survive any more.In this film,Neils father ,having the same characteristics as traditional Chinese fathers,indeed wants his son ,Neil,to be perfect ,and even designs his sons life.He doesnt appreciate Neils talents of performance,just killing everything that interfering Neils academic progress, and hence he puts too many expectations on Neil ,he wants his son to be admitted by outstanding universities,just as he said to Neil in the film You dont understand,Neil.You have opportunities that I never even dreamed of and I am not going to let you waste them(2).But then he doesnt care what Neil indeed thinks and cares.However,things always go against our will,the situation comes to be the worst eventually,Neil chooses to commit suicide,accounting for what his father put and did make Neils life without hope and color,just like a machine, doing the same work all the time.Its a sad story,but it indeed exists.I must say it is a frustrating plot in this film,but it presents so nature,it doesnt make audience feel abrupt at all.Because of this emergency,Neils death,it leads two forces beginning to fight.The school,where Neil attends,and ,undoubtedly, Mr Keating,who encourages students to stand their own characters out and cultivates their new hobbies.Because of his creative teaching method,the school views him as the right person who should be punished for Neils death.In this traditional school,all Mr Keating does means a big challenge to this campus,he makes this campus not quiet and stable as usual.Meanwhile,the school is about to find reason to regulate those unusual phenomenon.A person cant win a team,as a result,Mr Keating is forced to leave.It seems that the school wins this battle,but it falls to take back the students hearts.Although Mr Keating loses his job,he does get the trust and heart from his students.He is the capital in their hearts.Oh,capital,my capital.(3)Their capital never leaves.The film doesnt show us what the ending is,it leaves a plant platform for us to imagine.Everyone is a director,Everyone has his own ending.This film lets us think deeply,whose fault leads to Neils death?As for me,it is neither Mr Keating or his father.No one should be blamed for Neils death.It isnt one persons fault,contrastively,it is the whole society atmosphere that leads to Neils death.This is the societys fault,and it is also the sorrow of education.The society makes the persons,but then,whats wrong with the education?Theoretically,education is intended to cultivate us to change the world,just like the way Mr Keating performs.But in reality,we are taught to be adapted to the world.This is a common phenomenon around the world besides China.Education,in fact,is no more a method as it was,instead,it becomes a machine that specially product the same persons and make them obedient.This phenomenon is so frustrating,education ,like this, kills persons imagination and,even worse,makes them just like a puppet,they can create nothing but just do what the senior told them.That sounds terrible,but it is true.But ,on the other hand,we have no reason to put all blame on education.Education is also the victim,he is just like the son of the society, his father, society ,makes the him does this way.In the past,the aim of education,as we known,is to equip people with special shills ,so that they can find themselves in the society,and hence lead their life.But nowadays,the competitions between different forces are so fierce,so the society begins to change the way he employs persons.To get the maximum interest,he just chooses the people he needs,he dont need too many elites to operate its functions,few of them is enough.What the society needs most is the obedient people who will follow his instructions,they dont necessarily have excellent talent.In this society, mending the rules is the task of elites,the society dont have enough room to hold too many people to make changes,he wants to stay stable.The society just like an old man,his thought is so traditional,he likes quiet,and hence he doesnt like changing,staying what he was is his principle.Frankly,it doesnt lack talent people among us,but in reality, things always goes in this way,a fresh man,filled with enthusiasm,comes to this world,he owns a big ambition to change the world,he tends to make some parts that differ from the the current ones.But as time goes,he loses his original enthusiasm.Do you know why this happens?I think the reason is simple,because he is against the societys rules,so he must stop and leave. The society cant bear a person like this ,because this is a quiet place that cant bear a little bit of perturbation. He doesnt want to give up,but being assimilated by people makes him so frustrated.What makes the situation worst is that nobody is willingly to give him a hand,even a cheering word,He is rejected by others,how hopeless he feels.Most of people tend to stay what they were,they dont want their life to be disturbed,they all have a common feature,lacking a spirit of adventure,just like the society,an old traditional man.People reject innovating just like their bodies will reject new medical.However,in fact, average people with common quantifications occupy the most part of the society,they have no choice but to curl themselves up at the conner of darkness,but in this way,they protect themselves and stay safe,so if you dont have the ability to make a change,there is a big possibility that you will be changed by the society.Of course,this is not totally a bad case.Persons ,lacking ability, staying what they were are others blessing,because their banal puls passion means tossing,their attempts cant bring any change to this world,instead,they can merely make this world in a mass.But in the other hand,if you are talent enough,you are able to turn the world over,youd better have a try.Only when talent and passion are added together,may the world have a positive change.The society can swallow people,if you arent willing to live with quiet and despair,you must jump into the air or stand on the top of desk,we must constantly look at things in a different way.You see,the
