Life

The genre of history boys where the same-sex and comedy labels don't fit the show.
It is more like a kind of life, which contains too much, the same history, and countless staged events will happen at one point in time.
A former art student is very lucky to have experienced a fulfilling pre-exam life. In the days that followed, I often thought of sitting on a small bench with my classmates and waving charcoal in front of the plaster in front of me. It's very quiet, but it doesn't feel empty, you can sit for a whole morning without thinking about other things. How precious that kind of purity is, I didn't know it at the time.
The boys in the history department have a unified goal and a firm heart. They are like a group of little ducks crossing the road, but they are each other's company.
This type of film is like life, through which you see the past, present and future of your life.
My favorite line in it is, I don't want it to pass, it's a stage, but it's painful.
This is life.

    Headmaster: Who? He's up-to-the-minute, more "now".

    Mrs. Lintott: [dryly] Now? I thought history was "then".

  • [Dakin is groping Fiona, using World War I as a metaphor for his "assault" on her body. He moves his hand up her thighs but she pushes it away]

    Fiona: No-man's land.

    Dakin: Ah, fuck. What do I do with this?
