The History Boys

Watched "The History Boys" yesterday evening. I liked it.

There's loads of quotations in it, which I didn't really know though, as I'm not that much versed in English literature/history... *shame on me*
And there was one scene completely in French without any subtitles. Very good idea... *doh* ;-) I had French at school for a couple of years, but never really was that good at it and I quit as soon as I had the chance. So I remember only very little, but I think I got the gist of it nevertheless. Loved how the boys spontaneously switched from playing brothel to war hospital when the headmaster showed up. *lol*

I think my favourite of the boys was Posner. He was sweet. Really enjoyed his singing as well. :-)

Also loved Irwin, naturally, seeing that Stephen Campbell Moore actually was the reason I wanted to see this movie. *g* ;-) Such an excellent character. Great performance. :-)
