Ethan Hawke starred in Dead Poets Society in 1989 alongside Robin Williams. The film won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and a BAFTA Award for Best Film and Best Original Film Score.
During an event held on September 28 to promote Kyle MacLachlan’s memoir, Fictional Selves, Hawke spoke about what a unique experience it was working on the iconic film.
“And that for me was the hard part of growing up, which I feel for you when I read [Fictional Selves],” Hawke said, as reported by PEOPLE. “What happens is when you have these beautiful experiences… I had a great experience with Peter Weir, and then I went 10 years without having a great experience.”

Hawke continued, “I thought Dead Poets Society is what making a movie was like. It’s not what it’s like. A lot of people are really cold, and crass, and mean, and they really want to sell something, and they want to manipulate you and they don’t respect actors.”
Although it took a while for him to have another great film experience, he eventually ended up working with Richard Linklater. The two went on to develop a strong relationship and have made nine movies together. They include the Before trilogy, Boyhood, Waking Life, The Newton Boys, and Blue Moon.

“We’re extremely lucky for many reasons,” Hawke said. “But one is: young actors dream of having a creative relationship with a filmmaker. I got to have that with Richard Linklater. You got to have that with David Lynch. And their work is full of mystery and hope and the stuff of life.”
He continued, “The creative space that I know from working with Richard Linklater sounds like what you’re talking about, which is a very safe place. And you can talk about anything if you’re among friends, right? You can share the darkest thought if you know you’re loved. And that’s what a Linklater set feels like.”
