      witty humor

      The humor of the British is really subtle and gentlemanly, and at the same time, it is also very intelligent.
      Basically, in this type of film, the plot is flat and straightforward, and the ending is always expected. It's hard to say against your will that the plot is too tight and fascinating. However, you should not deny that most of the audience who are keen on this kind of film should go for the punch line. Language is the most wonderful art. What's more, this film has added so many...

      A group of young nerds with inarticulate faces...

      Movies and image effects are naturally the first to bear the brunt. If a movie cannot be convincing in the first place, it is a failed movie. No matter how strong its ideology is, it cannot attract my attention. Art films are the hardest to make.
         Just like this "History Boys", I discovered that the original campus drama youth film can also be made so gray. The scenery was gray and gray, making people a bit like entering the bathroom, only to find that the shower head was full, so they...

      Say something against

      Seeing that everyone gave this film a high evaluation, I also want to say my own thoughts, I hope you don't laugh at me, because I haven't seen the original drama.
      But after the movie opened, I felt that the director and photographer Why is it so bad, the camera is too simple, although this is a campus film. And it feels a little bit of everywhere.
      Although the teacher's education method is distinct and has its own characteristics, but I always feel There are...

      The most exciting inspirational growth films in recent years should not be missed

      "The History Boys" (2006) is one of the British Film Festival's selections this year. It moved from the stage to the big screen, and the actors are all on the same stage. The stage version won several awards, including six Tony Awards. I think the film version Do n't miss it.

      Director Nicholas Hytner's previous works include "The Crucible" (1996) and "The Madness of King George" (1994).

      The story and script are arranged by the stage version of musical playwright Alan...

      Blank film exposure

      All the high-scoring films I exposed today, please pay close attention! ! ! The director is Nicholas Hytner, the one from Mad King George and Center Stage. The story of this film is about a high school top class (it turns out that the UK also has this kind of stuff) preparing for the Oxbridge interview, discussing books and knowledge with the teacher every day, the method is more documentary, there are too many dialogues, basically like classroom documentary, most of the time to me I don't know...

      Posner obviously matches scripps! ! ! Russel's scenes aren't much, but they're all pretty exciting. I like the scene of Dakin and Irwin the most. It feels like a good performance, of course, Dominic is still a little immature. Take time to visit the Dead Poets Society and experience Ethan's pure time. I don't think it's necessary to compare too much, after all, the audiences are different. ps love the way Scripps plays the piano and Posner sings. pps oops hello, love rival...

      Dull, extremely nerd, the story mostly happens in one scene, it feels like a stage play, it's really awkward to put in a movie.. the kind of relationship between teachers and students shown in the movie really makes me sick, fat old He touched the student, and the student helped him to excuse him. In the end, the fat old man died...

    Movie quotes

    • Mrs. Bibby: Our lord and master, having grudgingly conceded that art may have its uses, I gather, I'm supossed, to give your Oxford and Cambridge boys a smattering of art history.

      Hector: Not my bag, Hazel. Irwin's your man.

      Tom Irwin: It's really just the icing on the cake.

      Mrs. Bibby: Is art ever anything else?

    • Dakin: [V/O] "How does history happen?" I asked Irwin. And he couldn't answer me. But now he knew. Nothing special.

    • Mrs. Lintott: The smallest of incidents... the junction of a dizzying range of alternatives... any one of which could have had a different outcome.
