历史是什么？
早就有人说过“历史是一个任人打扮的小姑娘”。
但是《The History Boys》里Rudge告诉我们：“History is one fucking thing after another.”
我以为这个片子就是一个英伦版的《龙樱》，高三、励志、通过高考……我以为他们全部上了剑桥就是happy ending了。
然而我错了。
我没有想到Hector会死，我没有想到“James Lockwood is wounded by friendly fire and dies on his way to hospital.”（James Lockwood被友军炮火所伤，死在他去医院的路上。）
果然，History is one fucking thing after another.
P.S.这一段的拍摄手法很赞，简明扼要地交代了几个男孩以后的生活。很有点意识流的感觉，不愧是话剧改版过来的。
如果你仅仅看开头，看到在Hector的带领下这几个男孩子成天出口成章背诵着一些英国著名诗词名句，你也许会以为它是英国版的《死亡诗社》，那么你就错了。跟《死亡诗社》比起来，后者更多了一些美国的矫情，多了一些YY的成分，多了一些娇柔做作。
《The History Boys》是一部可以细细玩味的电影

Classroom
T : So we arrive eventually at the less-than-startling discovery that so far as the poets are concerned, the First World War gets the thumbs-down. We have the mountains of dead on both sides, right... "hecatombs", as you all seem to have read somewhere....Anybody know what it means?
S1 : "Great public sacrifice of many victims, originally of oxen."
S2 : Which, sir, since Wilfred Owen says men were dying like cattle, is the appropriate word.
T : True, but no need to look so smug about it. What else? Come on, tick them all off.
S3 : Trench warfare.
S4 : Barrenness of the strategy.....［different suggestions from students］
S5 : Collapse of Weiner Republic. Internal disorder. And... The Rise of Hitler !!
