Neil's father was heartbroken, but he did not reflect on his own reasons, but asked the school to conduct an in-depth investigation. The school leaders were dissatisfied with RonanPatrickJohnKeating's educational methods and ideas, so they took him as a scapegoat and forced him to leave his beloved students and education career.
When Mr. RonanPatrickJohnKeating was about to leave, regardless of the teacher's strict stop, the students stood on the desks one after another and used such a ceremony that the teacher had taught them to express their support and admiration for the teacher, their attachment and reluctance to leave, and their dissatisfaction and resistance to the school practices. Teacher RonanPatrickJohnKeating left with excitement and sadness. However, the tree of life and the flower of freedom he planted and carefully guarded have sprouted, grown and bloomed in the hearts of students!
Contrast techniques are used in many places in the film. The rigid four pillars of "tradition, discipline, honor and Excellence" in schools have spawned four principles of "ridicule, terror, decadence and excretion" for students. Other teachers' disciplined education methods set off Keating's maverick and challenge to traditional authority. The students changed from taming at the beginning of the film to flaunting their individuality and bravely pursuing their dreams. These contrasts make the conflict in the film obvious and intense.
