The movie, throughout the whole thing but especially at the end, is about doing what you love and seizing the day. Carpe Diem. It's about thinking freely, and not being afraid of what you think or what other's will think of your thoughts. Neal, who is a main character, was pushed to the breaking point because he was afraid to share his thoughts and feelings. Although in some ways, because of how strict his father was, he couldn't really share them.
When their friend broke under the pressure, all of the other members of the dead poet's society were scared to act out and stand up. But they did, because poetry inspired them to do that. They had learned to express themselves freely, which is what poetry is about. The movie sends a message saying this, that it's essential to be able to express yourself and stand up for what you believe in, that it helps you to live. And that if you don't, you'll never really be okay.
