a philosophically queer analysis of dead poets society

#deadpoetssociety #gay #videoessay

In today’s video essay, we are analyzing queer subtext in dead poets society. The film, especially Neil and Todd's relationship (anderperry!!) has long been speculated to be (at least a bit) gay.. We're discussing Mr Keating and the philosophical movements of transcendentalism and romanticism he teaches the boys, the conflict between conformity and identity, how the film redefines masculinity, and way more :)

I hope you enjoy my philosophically queer analysis of dead poets society!

Let's get into it!

PS: rewatching dead poets society made me even more excited for taylor swift's "the tortured poets department" album hahah!
