This is a British film based on a Broadway classic. Rather than talking about the plot, it is better to say that there is no main story in the film, just a group of six talented boys who are fighting for the Oxford and Cambridge history scholarships, plus three talented history teachers. As a result, their teaching and learning constitute the entire plot of the film; their talented and humorous dialogues and their extended discussions on historical, social and realistic topics with old, middle and young intellectuals have become a strong attraction. my magnet.
In the last year of this high school, which has a historical tradition and is now gradually overshadowed by other schools, six top students with the most talent and the ability to turn the school over have been extracted. They will fight for an additional semester to pass interviews for scholarships at two of the most prestigious universities. They were mainly taught by Hector, who was in his sixtieth year, and Irwin, who had just stepped into the teaching ranks.
Eating and sleeping is mundane, but it's different on campus. Hector has the knowledge of the past and the present and an easy-going personality. Although he scolds the disobedient people, he will also use the motorcycle to bring students home to sexually harass - yes, he is gay - the boys in the class, but he Still a student favorite. The problem is, he doesn't stick to his teaching style for exams. The new teacher Irwin, who claims to be a Cambridge graduate, is young and arrogant, but he has a little more young scholar's perspective on history, and more importantly, he knows how to teach students to deal with exams. As a result, the two teachers competed with knowledge and style, and the six smart boys were also using knowledge to travel through historical problems and growing pains.
Troubles always come uninvited. High school students' thirst for knowledge is expanding infinitely, and at the same time, they are also carefully observing the people and things around them: life, ideals, love, career, communication... These are all themes they use to speculate on topics of literature and history. As a result, they began to feel trouble and pain and irritability, began to discover Irwin's unique inner world, began to understand Hector's behavior and thoughts - and finally, the literature and history became the driving force for action, and they united to defend this Teacher fired by the principal.
"The History Boys" doesn't waste film outside of every boy's home and school. The high school, Oxford and Cambridge campuses completely frame the entire film in an ivory tower of knowledge. Of course, the campus is not without puppy love and interpersonal conflicts, but after this tense semester, everything has turned into beautiful or sad memories, which are left for eternity.
