然而因为风趣、率直、热情、渊博，凯瑟琳很快赢得了学生们的喜爱，她的几个学生，想同男孩一样干出一番事业的琼（朱丽娅•斯黛尔斯）、活泼好动的丽薇（玛吉•葛伦霍）等，也慢慢地展露出真性情。然而，另一名学生贝蒂（克莉斯汀•邓丝特）要结婚的消息，又将自由浪漫的氛围打破。

allchange,includingthedriveforpersonalself-determination.这部片子在北京“大学期间对自己影响最深远的影片”评选中荣获榜首。RobinWilliams在片中扮演一位反对传统教育传统模式的基汀老师，鼓励学生撕去先贤的前言，抛弃权威的束缚，发展自己的兴趣，寻找自己内心的声音。他让学生们明白，获得开拓的视野与生活的激情要远比机械地从书本获得知识更为重要。当然，像大部分电影的套路一样，主人公遭到了保守人士的阻挠和压力。当渴望成为演员的尼尔发现自己无法放弃也无法实现梦想而自杀后，基汀老师被开除了。在他走之前，他欣慰的发现孩子们已经拥有了勇气，拥有了寻找自己声音的决心。

整部片子节奏一直不温不火，基汀老师的形象有高大的近乎十全十美的嫌疑，漂亮的小男生们演得很好，不时在恰倒好处的时候响起的苏格兰风笛更是将气氛渲染的十足。轻轻巧巧地把观众引入导演下的套中，冷不防地感动起来。

基廷老师的被迫离职与一位学生的自杀紧密相关，这位学生品学兼优，且富有诗人气质和表演才华，他的才华得不到父亲的认可，又不能阻抗父亲对他的期待，他只能通过了断自己的生命来结束无望的未来。或许导演只想通过这个绝对的实例来展现社会、父母和学校过于认同世俗社会对身份地位的认同，但是道理只有一个，若你不能掌握自己的人生道路，最后只能面对可悲的死亡。电影的结尾，学生们重新回到老套的课堂，校长在逼迫学生们照本宣科的学习诗作和诗评，而已经有了自我意识的学生终于阻抗了校长的淫威，站到桌面上念那著名的诗作也是对白：“Capitan，myCapitan！”实际上这里要讲的不是学生如何对抗所谓的权威，而是说正在人生的认知筑建的另一个关键阶段，老师的引领，自我意识的萌芽是多么重要的一件事情。这两部片子剧情上的相似之处在于同样维护正统的校园，同样良好家庭出身的学生走同样被安排好的道路，同样另类的老师同样启迪学生
