we've been told in our cinema courses that no shot/angle etc. is accidental in films; everything is done for a reason. which is why I've been thinking about these two shots as quite telling of neil's feelings:

it's not just the heart eyes! from the direction of his gaze to the positioning of them, you can tell that neil is literally looking up to todd; in his eyes, todd is very special. he knows that todd is an interesting person and he admires him. it's so cute 🥰

also, in the scene below, we can see them from a low angle, as if we are on the floor and they are spinning around us frantically. it's like they are flying, breaking free. they are elated and powerful. they don't have a care in the world.

I just thought these scenes are very cute. I want to rewatch the film and try to be extra observant so that I can add to this post! I hope you might find this sort of analysis interesting :) I certainly do because I think if these scenes were shot differently, we would get a different understanding of neil and todd's relationship

(btw, it's like 3.25 am. hopefully, this post makes sense)

highlights of my partner watching dead poets:

the second neil shows up on screen, he hasn’t even spoken yet: “oh that man is gay”

—

“oh i didn’t know robin williams was in this! father figure.”

—

neil and todd meeting: “and they were roommates” 👀

*proceeds to make a kissy noises for the next five minutes whenever anderperry were on screen together*

—

charlie introduces himself: “oh, well, that wasn’t straight.”

—

mr. perry pulls the “you know how much this means to your mother” card: “oh fuck you, you’re one of those guys.”

—

every scene with knox: *cringing* “oh king. no.”

—

meeks and pitts dancing: “oh c’mon now that’s gay. they’re about to kiss.”

—

neil talking about joining the play: “oh he’s going to get his ass beat. he’s going to die.”

(note: he had no idea neil was legitimately going to die, he just knew this was my favorite movie and ethan hawke was in it lol)

—

desk set scene, sad for todd: “this poor guy. poor little meow meow. he deserves better.”

—

he spent the entire movie after the play looking between me and the screen because i was crying

#he knew absolutely nothing about this movie going into it #but he enjoyed it a lot lol #i went and fount the 5.98 scene in the book #and read it to him #he is also a younger sibling #like i am #so todd was a little too relatable lmao #dead poets society #dead poets fandom #dps #neil perry #todd anderson #anderperry #charlie dalton #knox overstreet #richard cameron #gerard pitts #stephen meeks #kaz posts

timid, white, borderline mentally ill young man meets an exuberant, energetic and dramatic young man while travelling to a new place. together, they create a MENS ONLY club which serves as a metaphor for queerness. they also have a homoerotic friendship btw. however, by the end of the film, energetic dramatic friend dies of a bullet to the head and the timid man must watch bittersweetly as the club he once happily created with this friend falls apart. now real question is this the premise of fight club or dead poets society

#fight club #the narrator #tyler durden #soapshipping #dead poets society #neil perry #todd anderson #anderperry #yall hear me out fc and dps r like two sides of the same coin #bottoms 2023 is the combination of them both tbh #if this post flops im committing

meeks is the type of guy to text you at 3 am about some super obscure thing he just read in great detail. he would read so much that he would beat everyone at trivia games because he knows so many random facts about geography and history

A little headcanon me and my friend thought of a while ago because it's so silly and I need to share it

One night Todd and Neil snuck out and they climbed a tree because they wanted to feel like they were on top of the world. They spent the night talking and looking at the stars, loudly whispering and laughing, sharing poetry and deep thoughts. When they finally decide it was time to head back to their room, Neil turns to Todd and says

"is this a bad time to tell you I'm scared of heights?"

He is in fact not scared of heights, he just wanted an excuse to hold Todd's hand.

The way some people talk about Neil and Todd's relationship make me think we didn't watch the same movie.

Todd didn't ruin Neil nor did Neil become unhappy by being friends with Todd. Todd wasn't a burden to Neil. The reason Neil was so unhappy was because of his father and the expectations of others on him.

Neil doesn't see Todd as "an experience" and I think that claim really undermines Neil as a character. I understand why some people believe that but Neil is a very genuine character and doesn't create bonds with any of the poets "for the hell of it". Neils the type of person to show up at your front door if he hasn't talked to you in 3 days. Watching their scenes together, watching the relationship these characters develop, even the way Todd reacts to Neils death. It shows there's a lot more than what the camera showed us, especially when Todd screams at Cameron about Neil loving acting. Although obviously everyone knows that Neil loves acting, that part alone just showed there's a whole lot more conversation that we missed betweens these characters and whole lot more than an "experience"

TLDR: People mischaracterize the hell out of Neil
