In the movie, some lessons that Mr. Keating is teaching his students about life is that to look at things a different way. To look at things from a different angle in life. To look at poetry and see what your own voice says and what your own mind thinks of poetry and life itself. To dare and strike out and make your own ground. I guess you can say that he's trying to say to be independent and don't follow any one else but follow your own ideas.
In Catcher in the Rye, Holden is told to play by the rules. These two decisions are totally different. In the movie they are challenged to be different and make and follow your own ideas. In Catcher in the Rye, Holden is told from his teacher that in order to be successful in life you must play by the rules, like not breaking the rules, and obeying the teachers and such. So therefore Holden is told to obey and listen to other people and do this and that to be successful, but in the movie the teacher is telling them to express themselves and be unique and different and express their own ideas.
