As someone who grew up in the "The Breakfast Club" and the "Dead Poets Society" days....


...This was a great movie. It all felt genuine enough and wasn't filled with all the woke nonsense that takes you out of the movie. We may've lost [Philip-Seymour] Hoffman but we still have some greats out there in that vein like Giamatti.

Hoffman? As in Dustin Hoffman? I don't think he has passed away yet.

I agree. Giamatti is a great actor. And I also agree that "The Breakfast Club" and "Dead Poets Society" are great movies. The closing speech the kids give to the teacher in "The Breakfast Club" always brings a tear to my eye, because, like many young people, I grew up in that situation, so I could identify with at least two of the students.
