pass it on

I learned about this movie by chance from a friend, and watched it with curiosity. The whole film is filled with British depth and typical dark humor. In just 100 minutes, the content is extremely rich, and almost every line is carefully crafted. Whenever I come to an obscure old English or a large essay and poem, I really want to sigh about the profound heritage of the British Empire.

The main line of the film is actually that two teachers with different styles use their different teaching methods to help these boys enter oxford and cambridge. In addition to this big main line, there are many side-effects. For example, boys can't explain their unidentified feelings in adolescence, Dakin and teacher irwin, Dakin and Fiona, and silently like Dakin's Posner. These interesting little plots make the whole movie lively. In fact, I have to say that Miziguo is really a big rotten country = =

My favorite plot is actually that after everyone was admitted to Cam or Oxford, Dakin and Posner that hug. Because of youth and simplicity, it doesn't matter if you don't get love, don't you still have friendship?

    Seeing that the main actors are all young boys and old men, and seeing that the place of production is in the UK, I should have thought that this is probably a base film. …

The History Boys quotes

  • [Timms is trying to duck out of Athletics]

    Wilkes: What's the matter with you, lad?

    Timms: I've got a note.

    Wilkes: How much for?

    [laughs]

    Wilkes: I don't *do* notes! Get changed!

    Timms: Sir...

    Wilkes: God doesn't do notes, either. Did Jesus Christ say, "Can I be excused the Crucifixion?" No!

    Scripps: Actually, sir, I think he *did*...

  • Dakin: Don't think we're shocked by your mentioning the word "foreskin," sir.

    Crowther: No, sir. Some of us even have them.

    Lockwood: Not Posner though, 'cause he's, well, Jewish. It's one of several things he doesn't have.

    Posner: Fuck off.

    Lockwood: That's not racist, though.

    Crowther: No?

    Lockwood: It's race-related... but not racist.
