TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

What attracted Robin Williams to the role of John Keating more than anything else was that he was the type of teacher he, in his school days, always wished he had.

Robin Williams considered this movie one of his favorite films he did, and Peter Weir the best director he had ever worked with.

When the boys show John Keating his old senior yearbook picture, it is, in reality, Robin Williams's high school senior picture when he was a student at Redwood High School in Larkspur, California, north of San Francisco.

Director Peter Weir chose to shoot the film in chronological order to better capture the development of the relationships between the boys and their growing respect for Mr. Keating.

To help his young leads bond, director Peter Weir had them all room together.

Popular Dialogues

"McAllister: "Show me the heart unfettered by foolish dreams and I'll show you a happy man." John Keating: "But only in their dreams can men be truly free. 'Twas always thus, and always thus will be." McAllister: Tennyson? John Keating: No, Keating."

"John Keating: There's a time for daring and there's a time for caution, and a wise man understands which is called for."
