There is a song called "A change of seasons" by an American band called 'Dream Theater', which was inspired by this film. The song goes on for almost 25 minutes, and there are various clips and soundbites from the film (ie: Carpe Diem, and the part when Robin Williams whispers 'Seize the Day' near the beginning of the film). Also, 'Gather ye Rosebuds while ye may...' is used in the song as well. While it might sound like a metal song at first, it goes through various changes, from metal, to classical, to rock etc...hence changing the seasons. See more...

Just before Todd Anderson has his emotional breakdown about Neil's death, one of his friends grabs a handful of snow and shoves it at his mouth. Why did he do that? It makes no sense. [He is just trying to get something to help wash the taste of vomit out of Todd's mouth.]
While Robin Williams is packing his things in his small room, he waves down out the window at whom I believe is the Latin teacher, walking along a snowy sidewalk. What is the teacher doing, exactly? It appears that he's giving a guided tour of the campus, but he's also muttering Latin words. It can't be a classroom exercise because there are only 4 or 5 people with him. Does anyone know what he's doing? [It is a classroom exercise. He is being followed by pupils and is reinforcing their latin vocabulary by taking them on a tour of the garden and showing them the things that the words actually relate to (edificium = building, flora = flower etc.) This contrasts with his earlier behaviour when he simply had them mindlessly recite conjugations (amamo, amamas, amabat). The point is that this illustrates how the Latin Master has been affected by his contact with Keating and has become a better teacher as a result.]
