The British film The History Boys, with small scenes, superb language and complex characters, is a complete afternoon tea, which must be slowly reminisced. This film, which is also a new favorite of Broadway's stage play, is based on the theme of two teachers teaching a class of seven or eight boys in history to prepare for the Cambridge entrance exam. French, homosexual innuendo... I was confused, and in the spirit of blind worship, I was unwilling to not understand it, and I turned to a New York Times film review that was as obscure as GRE reading to study, and I read the second Over and over again, there are eyebrows. Although it is so laborious to understand, it is visually pleasing to the eye. The students in this class are all different in style, playful and lively, and are typical British students. Watching them play and sing, watching them study hard, they are all so lively and vivid. All scenes are fresh and interesting. But the hints of homosexuality in it are surprising. All I can say is that British films seem to be conservative but often have hidden talents. Compared with American films, they are actually very honest.
