Recommend "History Boys" to all mankind! What it conveys is far more profound than the label given to it by the film. This is definitely the most shy, profound, elegant, and subtle educational film delayed by the title. The teacher has been asking what history is. History is inheritance. It is passed, interpreted, felt, and passed on again and again from one person to another, across time and space, across regions. Person after person constitutes human culture in transmission and introspection. "All knowledge is precious, whether or not it serves the slightest human use", it is the accumulation of these "useless" that crosses the society to achieve self-enrichment and value embodiment, and we become interesting, independent and complete people. However, humanistic education now seems to be contrary to our footsteps. Only useful things are worth doing, and useful books are worth reading. "Worth" is too much, there is no time to waste, and even learning has become utilitarian. Who doesn't want to experience a different life on a dusty, deserted road with a full truckload of protagonists on a sunny afternoon? Love apart, it is the only education worth having. Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it, and pass it on.
