Todd is the most influential person in Keating's poetry teaching and according to Todd's improvement the audience can even say "poetry". At the beginning of the movie, Todd said that nobody would listen to him, so there was a moment when I realized I might be sorry for Todd. He was not the protagonist. My poetry 噢 人生.

In "Death Poetry Society" (1989), John Keating, a teacher of an American boarding school in the 1950s, performed by Robin Williams and drawn a table called "Understanding Understanding". An article of imaginary poetry is decided. The horizontal axis represents the technical quality of the poem, and the vertical axis represents its importance. After allowing his students to draw such charts for Lord Byron and William Shakespeare, Mr. Keating ordered the article "shit" and remove them from the poem. "This may be war, war, casualties your heart and soul," he whispered. "Scholarly march to march to measure poetry", rarely consider passion, beauty, or romance
In 1959 the movie "Association of the Dead" there was a scene where Mr. Keatinging, a character of Robin William, asked him to read the introduction of poetry textbooks. This text describes a rating method that can measure and evaluate the wonder of poetry. After painting poetry on the blackboard and evaluating, Keating tells his student that the way to evaluate this poem is "excretion".
