The History Boys

This movie was watched in sections that seemed to stretch for forever so it was a looooong draggy kinda thing. Maybe its just me but I found it dry.

There is a whole lot of talking and if you don’t have the ear to catch on to what’s being said, you best not watch the film.

That said, if you’re like me and don’t speak or understand French without the help of subtitles, you’ll be lost for about 4 minutes further in the movie cause there’s a scene where everybody is speaking French. They could have been talking about coming and murdering me in my sleep and I still wouldn’t understand a word.

The testosterone level is a constant high and for some reason the homosexuality overtones seem to be widely accepted and even in a sense understood and expected. Everybody is just so happy and gay!

I was half asleep watching this movie so the spontaneous singing, spouting of poetry and quotations of people long dead were not processed in this thing on my shoulders, inside my skull. But I did remember two! So hurrah for me!

“There is no better way of forgetting something than by commemorating it.”

“All knowledge is precious, whether or not it serves the slightest human use.”

And for no apparent reason, here are some helping words!

Trollup
A trollup (or trollop) is a usually at fat dumb person who acts really gay and camp but isnt. It can also be used as a name.

Crass
Having such grossness of mind, another word for bad, terrible. Another word for bad, terrible, crap.

Nancy
A homosexual.
