The main theme of the movie is to subjugate your own interest to help better that of the whole. There are
many example of selshness and the pursuing of personal vendettas, but the characters in the lm all
eventually learn to focus on the main problem at hand and overcome it by working together
"You lie and kill, in the service of liars and killers"


"I thought humans were more evolved than this?"
The plot of The Avengers is a standard movie plot with a problem, rising action, climax, falling action, and
resolution.
I believe 100% with the theme of the movie because there is lot of selshness in the world, and people only
really care about their own problems and how they can help themselves. There is a bigger picture that
most do not see, and they contribute more to prohibiting the solution rather than helping it. This is probably
human nature, having to fend for oneself before being able to help others, but its still doesn't really make
sense to me. This movie is poetic because of it theme, not because of the superheroes or stu! blowing up
every 5 seconds.

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human
race, and the human race is lled with passion.
This movie is all about learning of to seize the day and live life to the fullest, or "Carpe diem." The school's english
teacher, John Keating, tries to inspire this belief into his english students. He believes strongly in this saying, and
relates this into the poetry he is teaching to his students.
A regular movie with little symbolism.
This movie is very poetic due to poems being a major component in the lm. Keating uses poems as a tool for
teaching; and he uses the feelings stirred from the poetry to get his point cross.This directly parallels my
denition of poetic, so this is why i like this lm. The message it conveys is also a very useful one. Too many
people waste their lives away nowadays, and the lm is telling all to do just the opposite. Everyone needs to step
up and "live life to the fullest," because, as Keating states, "most men live lives of quiet desperation."
