British specialties

This film shows two major characteristics of Britain, which can be summed up in one word, which is connotation.
The whole film is shrouded in the kind of atmosphere that the debate team members hold their backs, hold their hands, tuck their stomachs, and articulate their words earnestly. An account that will make you shareholders in the pantheon of literary sophistication”; Dorothy’s impassioned riff on why “history has no women”, “Can you imagine how disappointing it has been to teach five centuries of sexist historiography. You know why there are never women historians on TV? Because history is never as fun for women as it is for men, why? Because they never have a place, like in 1911, they just pack up and retire with dignity. History is always about all kinds of men, incompetent comments. What is history, history is women trailing behind with a basket"; even the protagonist used the "Western Front of World War I" to describe the relationship between himself and his girlfriend - not yet in, but already to the top. The screenwriters kindly remind us from time to time that these words are "Wittgenstein's", "Shakespeare's" and "Hardy's". The British Empire is declining, but the sense of superiority of that culture is still engraved in the bones. I heard that Downton Abbey is in the When casting a role, it was specifically pointed out that he did not want to use American actors, because the old beauty "couldn't understand that heavy sense of history" -- behind the blatant ridicule is the cultural connotation of the people of the corrupt country.
But the author is watching a movie purely for entertainment. Some people say that after watching this movie, they feel that they have to go back and read a few more books. As soon as the new gentle and delicate history teacher appears on the stage, I expect the protagonist to quickly put it on the scene. For the overpowering author, be it an obscure intellectual game or a bland British humor, be damned.
"Connotation" also has a meaning, a kind of knowing smile, a smile of a person telling a vague and dirty joke at the dinner table.
A sentence "hold me hand" is enough to make the thunder ignite the fire and then fill the blood tank with lustful brains. In fact, people are just for the sake of friends. It's just a special situation, it's a last resort, pure brotherhood, it's you Too wicked, that's the euphemism of an English gentleman's cold joke. "History Boys" does the opposite. I'll tell you why a group of men don't get along. "Do you like giving me oral sex? It's a gerund independent construction" and then what? Then there is no after, no one is with anyone, just our little angelic Jewish boy gets a hug from our protagonist Dakin, "That's it, I thought it was longer!" Then give it another hug. , Well, the screenwriter of the rotten country is not making a little trouble this time, and directly stabs at the nature. "That unnamed love" thought it would be a big surprise, but it turned out to be a lot of money, but it turned out to be a rare "historical change". Example. Seeing the smirk on the screenwriter's face, boy, tell yourself to be too obsessed, "This is a period, it will pass", the same-sex ambiguity turns out to be a fucking adolescence sexual impulse. It's too connotative, so I laughed.
Also, Violet in "Needless Wife" turned into a feminist who was a teacher. She was used to seeing Huang Bao, but she was really not used to it, but the British drama circle was really too small.

    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

  • Lockwood: Posner would make a good monk. 'Cept he's a Jew.

    Crowther: Do Jews have monks?

    Posner: Yes. I'm one now.

  • Hector: [hector during his general studies class with the boys] i'll let you in on a little secret boys. there is no such thing as general studies. general studies is a waste of time. knowledge is not general. it is specific.
