"Sucking all the marrow out of life doesn't mean choking on the bone" is from which popular U.S. film?

"Sucking all the marrow out of life doesn't mean choking on the bone" is from the 1989 film "Dead Poets Society". In the film, John Keating, a progressive English teacher, tries to encourage his students to break free from the norm, go against the status quo, and live life unapologetically. The film is an American drama that was directed by Peter Weir and written by Tom Schulman. The key star is Robin Williams as Keating. Set in 1959 at the fictional elite conservative Vermont boarding school Welton Academy, it tells the story of Williams as an English teacher who inspires his students through his teaching of poetry.

The poet Henry David Thoreau encouraged people to make the most of life, but Keating's clarification of the above quote is a reminder. In the film, Keating profoundly tells his students not to move through life too fast or at a reckless pace. It is made clear that smart human beings don't behave irresponsibly or go overboard when making life decisions.

The film "Dead Poets Society" received critical acclaim and was a box office success. Schulman received an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for his work. This film is now considered to be one of the most inspirational films ever made for the big screen.
