Oh Captain, My Captain

In Dead Poet’s Society the dark colors and abrupt sounds depicts a serious bleakness to what is happening. All the boys are dressed in a uniform and standing tall with a prestigious demeanor, ready to continue their studies at the rigorous private school.  The boys have a stoic expression as if they are not ready to give up their freedom when they enter the school doors. With the little light coming in through the church-like building, the dull red, neutral tones, and the loud voice echoing against the walls it all leaves an ominous tone in the room. As they leave the church building all you hear is the faint sound of talking that is masked by the loud church bell ringing in a depressing tune.  The tune that tells the boys to say there last goodbyes to parents and freedom.
