World’s famous MovieDead Poets Society ;Components;Introduction;Background Information;Background Information;Background Information;Prep School （预科学校） A university-preparatory school or college-preparatory school is a secondary school, usually private, designed to prepare students for higher education. Some schools will also include a junior or elementary school. Prep schools are selective, academically challenging, and largely independent of state and local control. The student-to-teacher ratio is comparatively low, hence, smaller class sizes than in public schools. Some admit students of only one sex; others are co-educational. Prep schools often place a strong emphasis on sports. ; PLOT Summary ;The teaching methods of their new English teacher, John Keating (Robin Williams), are Unorthodox（非正统的） by Welton standards, including whistling the 1812 Overture and taking them out of the classroom to focus on the idea of carpe diem. He tells the students that they may call him O Captain! My Captain! in reference to a Walt Whitman poem, if they feel daring. ;In another class, Keating has Neil read the introduction to their poetry textbook, prescribing a mathematical formula（公式） to rate（评价） the quality of poetry which Keating finds ridiculous, and he instructs his pupils to rip （撕）the introduction out of their books, to the amazement of one of his colleagues.;Later he has the students stand on his desk in order to look at the world in a different way. The boys discover that Keating was a former student at Welton and decide to secretly revive（使恢复） the school literary club, the Dead Poets Society, to which Keating had belonged, meeting in a cave off the school grounds.;Due to self-consciousness, Todd fails to complete a writing assignment and Keating takes him through an exercise in self-expression, realizing the potential he possesses. Charlie publishes an unauthorized （未经批准的）article in the school newspaper, asserting that girls should be admitted to Welton.
