Neil and Noise

This morning, my first block class, Enriched English 11, was viewing the second half of Dead Poets Society.  It was the scene where Neil was alone in his room after he was told by his parents that he would no longer be able to act; just before this scene, Neil did an excellent job of playing Puck in Midsummer Night's Dream. 

For those not familiar with this movie, it is a really intense part. There isn't any speaking, just quiet and suspenseful music.  Just as the scene was reaching its highest point of intensity, the construction workers outside began to drill in my wall loudly.  It completely ruined the moment and disconnected people from what was happening in the movie.  I was incredibly disappointed in the timing of this physical noise.
