Yuri B. @RyuBlack Jan 3 This was surprisingly better than I expected... & that ending is just eating at me... being that I had never seen the play, the whole film played out as new... and I won't forget that film for a quite a while... with impressive performances by all.

The History Boys is a 2006 British comedy-drama film directed by Nicholas Hytner 🏫 It’s very good! 😀 I’d definitely recommend it 👍🏼 S The story of an unruly class of bright, funny history students at a Yorkshire grammar school in pursuit of an undergraduate place at Oxford or Cambridge. Bounced between their maverick English master, a young and shrewd teacher hired to up their test scores, a grossly out-numbered history teacher, and a headmaster obsessed with results, the boys attempt to pass.

Well worth the watch See more Leo V @RT47592146 May 13 Well, first of all it is written by Alan Bennett, and directed by Nicholas Hytner . Then there is the cast, which is intact after runs in London, Australia and New York (Where I saw it). We are lucky to have it available and as the years tick by we can recommend it to our grandchildren, which is what I am doing in April of 2025.

It was supposedly set in 1983, but the school and characters were clearly better placed in the 1950s. The weird teacher-pupil relationships creeped me out, and the blatant snobbery from the outset made it impossible for me to finish watching.
