    oh captain my captain, our fearful trip is done. our ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won. the port is near the bells i hear, the people all exulting, while follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring. but oh hark hark, oh the bleeding drops of red, where on the deck my captin lies, fallen cold and dead. Oh captain my captain, rise up and hear the bells! Rise up; for you the flag is flung, for you the bugle trills. For you boquets and ribbon'd wreaths for you the shores a'crowding. For you the call the swaying mass, their eager faces turning. Here captain, dear father, this arm beneath your head! it is some dream that on the deck you've fallen cold and dead. My captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still, my father does not feel my arm he has no pulse, nor will. the ship is anchored safe and sound, it's voyage closed and done. From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won. Exult o shores and ring oh bells but i with mournful tread

    You just have to "think" & try to "understand" what the movie & Robin Williams as well as the other actors are trying to say. They put the information out there for you to pay attention too.

    Is it wrong to hate those who don't like this movie and be annoyed by those who didn't "get it"? Truly inspiring film about freethinking..thinking outside the box, etc. A must for any rugged individualist!

    This is indeed that best movie I have ever seen. Anyone whom says they HATE poetry, let them see this movie. Robin Williams does a wonderful job! It's this movie, one of the reasons, why I am whom I am today!
