Bewitched

It's been a long time since I had time to watch a movie, let alone write something. Like many times in the past, the skit movies with a British background moved me once again. The History Boys has a lot of background, and it is
adapted from the stage play that won the 2005 Lawrence Oliver Awards for Best New Play, Best Director and Best Actor. In the 1980s, YORK County, England,
in the sprouting summer, the boys had to face the severe challenge of entering Oxbridge, while taking them into the art world, but also harassing them from time to time, the gay old professor HECKTOR. , on one side is a handsome Oxford graduate teacher who has just broken into the dreary school, attracting the attention of the best and most beautiful boys. In the confrontation of rigor and sensibility, the lines tempered in the play are as shiny and elegant as pearls.

Love is always a compulsory course that children of this age have not accepted but must go through. DAKIN's original pride was the third base of the beautiful little secretary who was close to the principal, but in gratitude and appreciation, he found that he wanted to please the young new teacher IRWIN the most. After getting the offer from Oxford, the conversation with IRWIN alone was aggressive. His fiery dialogue may be a confession that he will never have in the rest of his life. POSNER, who has always been in love with DAKIN, BE WITCHED's songs are very affectionate. His unrequited unrequited love and jealousy of IRWIN did not have any gray sadness, but at the last graduation, because DAKIN understood Hugs are still smiling. He knows what kind of person he is, and therefore understands the pain of HECKTOR. For too much love or emotion that cannot be expressed, perhaps only a gentle gaze and a pat on the shoulder when others cry. And in the end, he passed down the spirit of HECKTOR, quietly endured it, and passed on love with a few geniuses, as he said: I AM NOT HAPPY, BUT I AM NOT UNHAPPY ABOUT IT. Even IRWIN, a beautiful teacher who was seen through at the very beginning, no matter if he has the courage to really pursue the impulse in his sexual orientation, after all, he will not continue to lie in the graduation of a famous school with one that he does not love the most. Instead, I became a journalist, telling about the world I saw and believed.

In education, what is useful and what is worth? Is history really real, or is it just a series of possible stacks? And facing each person's own history, how to write him? The director did not set a benchmark for Master Watch, or a group of good students who made progress every day, and did not want to give any answers. Just a summer of an old grandpa, a young teacher and a bunch of real young people. Why is WONDER all of a sudden why movies involving same-sex topics are always inseparable from summer? Maybe at this time, everything grows arbitrarily, and there are various reasons not to refuse the temptation, or just because, life, in fact, should have a season of blooming, even not. for results.

At the end of the movie, another song that is destined to be remembered by me like BLOWERS DAUGHTER in CLOSER, the old JAZZ song Bewitched by gay singer Rufus Wainwright, JAZZ is like love itself, performed by countless people, but there is always one person There will be the most exciting taste for you. At that moment, as described by HECKTOR, it was like a hand passing through layers of time and space, holding your hand, and then you knew that you are not lonely in the vast crowd.

Forgive my Bewitched BY again for those shiny lines, let me end this article with HECKTOR's most hated and IRWIN's favorite excerpt:

LOVE APART IS THE ONLY EDUCATION THAT WORTH HAVING.
PASS IT ON, BOYS, TAKE IT, FEEL IT, PASS IT ON
