    Dead Poets Society

    This has probably been brought up many times, but last night I was watching "Dead Poets Society" and there's a piper in it. He wasn't a particularly good piper, but it was cool to have one in the film. I did a screen shot of a part when he is playing by the lake:



    What a lovely shot. I'm hoping I can get a photo like this when I'm up North this summer.

    I was wondering the same thing. See, the piper is in the movie twice. Once in the very beginning, piping for a ceremony in a kilt and argyll jacket. The second time is this brief scene where he playing by the lake. I want to say he's weing a kilt and thick hose (because it's winter then), but yeah, it may be pants and a coat... I'll pretend it's the former.

    I second and third the opinions about it being a great movie. And it's got Robin Williams actually acting! And the Guy who plays Wilson in the TV show House (all grown up now, but he was a cool teenage actor back then).
