历史系男生

"The best moment in reading are when you come across something...a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things that you'd thought special, particular to you, and here it is, set down by someone else, a person you've never met, maybe even someone long dead. And...it's as if a hand...has come out...and taken yours."-- From Hector.一个六十岁的老男人，是一所中学的老师，和八个年轻的男孩在一起念诗歌读文学。

唯一的安慰，可能就是每次借带他们回家的名义，给他们自己的“benedictions". 他原本想有一辆装满书的车，环游世界。

却最终在一次车祸中离开人世。

或许，这就是他的一生。

求而不可得，漫无边际的孤独，唯有书本能给自己安慰。

可是，那始终不是柔软的，有温度的，真实的手，不是吗？

请原谅我先啰嗦《死亡诗社》 很多年前在英语课上看的《死亡诗社》，和我天真可爱心灵纯粹的童学们一齐感动得稀里糊涂，头脑一热，回家还找出剧本来读，后来在豆瓣上看见，四星吧（在我看来，四星是最高的星级了）。

冷风吹至，热情褪却，发现这电影仍脱离不了那商业性的煽情和那一贯夸张的启承转合。

这是不是年轻的好处呢？

哎呵，当年的年轻人一个个站到课桌上为Keating送别时，旁观的年轻人也早已热泪盈眶了；而今天，两分钟前，趁着午夜临睡前的异常清醒，我调出了《死亡诗社》的页面，将四星改为三星，只留下句“曾经沧海难为水”。

狼狼推荐看的《11度青春之-老男孩》，网页上的简介是：“梦想万劫不复，青春内牛满面”。

我尚未看过《老男孩》，只是突然觉得这句话换个角度，用来形容《死亡诗社》倒是再贴切不过了——梦想万劫不复，青春内牛满面——今日与青春作别，矫情一把，不愿再内牛满面。

我真的不是来错页面了，罗里啰嗦，就是因为这部《The History Boys》。

和《死亡诗社》一样的，《The History Boys》讲述的是一群为升入顶级高等学府做功课的年轻人。

太平实的电影，没有华丽的剧情或演员阵容，唯有演Hector的老头儿有些眼熟。

太绚烂的电影，灿若莲花的言谈间 莎士比亚的十四行诗信手拈来，灵活多变的课堂上 天马行空的思想刮起风暴。

太正经的电影，历史、艺术统统为功课让道，文法、诗歌全权向考试低头。

太浪漫的电影，缠绵悱恻的歌剧传达着我对你的情谊，羞涩爽朗的拥抱是最好的成年礼。

一点儿也不意外的结尾。

原来后面还有一个太过意外的结尾。

这，才是真的结尾。

结尾的结尾，却又有一个黑白默片似的结尾。

可是这次，好像又不是真的结尾了。

一直规规矩矩的电影，一反此时此刻的结局，以一种看似嘲弄的眼神盯着我们：嘿，年轻人，这就是人生。

（Rudge不是小大人般的说”History is just one fucking thing after another“吗？

一乐。

）电影用欣赏的口吻讲述着这些努力着的、迷惘着的、颓唐着的、纠缠着的年轻人的故事，为Oxford和Cambridge做准备的过程牵动着几多人心啊。

命运，你又是否为每个人准备好了一个happy ending 呢？

对于这个问题，《死亡诗社》戛然而止了，或许，它的立意太高远、太深长，已经不屑于回答这个问题了。

《The History Boys》也戛然而止了：倾倒的机车像丢弃在路旁的垃圾一般，支离破碎。

伴送年轻人离开学园的，不是满载祝福和希冀的欢歌，而是一曲悠扬的“Bye,bye,blackbird"，哀而不伤，可谓至此。

所以，这部电影，永远不会让我内牛满面。

我反倒常不经意的笑场：在Cripps喷饭的笑容中、在Dorothy帅气的谈吐中、在Ponser清澈的眼神中、在Hector的不拘一格中、在Rudge口齿不清的谬论中、在Irwin的保守和洒脱中……不胜枚举的细节，有如蜡炬燃烧时一点一滴流下的滚烫泪珠，铸成了一个堪称完美的故事。

没有一枝独秀的Keating（朋友曾感叹几世福分才能修来一个这样的老师，现在想来那时的我们真可爱呀），Dorthy、Hector、Irwin都是中规中矩的英国教育体制下普通普通再普通的教师，可谁能否认有这样一个组合的老师不也是一种幸运呢？

《死亡诗社》告诉我们：一个不寻常的老师带领一群无知的学生做不寻常的事情。

《The History Boys》告诉我们：一群寻常的老师带领一群有所知有所不知的学生做一件寻常的事情。

孰优孰劣，无从分辨。

我只知道，我会一直为《The History Boys》情不自禁的笑出声来，却再也不会为《死亡诗社》内牛满面了。

不走寻常路，你将无路可走。

——随着《死亡诗社》中的Keatingl老师激动一把，实乃误人子弟、谋财害命耳。

走好寻常路，你将不再寻常。

——伴着《The history boys》的课本论文考试中规中矩一次，迎接我们的是无悔的青春、无限的人生。

这次，真的结尾了，悠扬清朗的歌声再度响起：Bewitched, bothered and bewilderedam I……P.S.题外题内的话：恰同学少年， 风华正茂； 书生意气， 挥斥方遒。

指点江山， 激扬文字， 粪土当年万户侯。

曾记否， 到中流击水， 浪遏飞舟？

数风流人物，还看今朝。

Tom Irwin:But this is History. Distance yourselves. Our perspective on the past alters. Looking back, immediately in front of us is dead ground. We don't see it, and because we don't see it this means that there is no period so remote as the recent past. And one of the historian's jobs is to anticipate what our perspective of that period will be... even on the Holocaust. Tom Irwin: Um, Rudge... Mrs. Lintott: Now. How do you define history Mr. Rudge? Rudge: Can I speak freely, Miss? Without being hit? Mrs. Lintott: I will protect you. Rudge: How do I define history? It's just one fuckin' thing after another.

校园片的一个特点就是励志,肯定有一位春风化雨的老师,这是必需的,然后肯定还有一位代表顽固实力的校长或是训导主任之类的反派角色.而学生方面,肯定都是内心期望着变革,可是肯定是毫无勇气挑战传统的,直到那位老师来了之后,革命的暴风雨也为之降临,而结尾毫无疑问的是,那位优秀的老师在传统的势力下默默的离开,然而他却赢得了学生的心.但是这部戏却恰恰相反,学生们居然是一群渴望得到高分的学生,对于原来老师的春风化雨式的教学方式很不买账.认为诗歌只类不过是一种浪费时间的课程,他们需要的,是可以让他们得到大学录取通知书的课程.这一点就是让人大吃一惊,还有这么势利的学生.这里面的老师也是非常的奇怪,两个用来作对比的老师有一个同样的特点,都是同性恋.只不过,一个经常对男学生动手动脚,采取很明目张胆的方式,结果,被人起诉了.而另一个,却是掩饰自己的取向,让自己看上去没什么两样.而且,他的教学方式是激进的,是直接指向目标的,却和他的生活态度也有了很大的反差.学生除了上面说到的势利之外,根本没有以往电影中那种对于传统的反叛,他们一个个的都很正常.知道什么时候该做什么,一心用功在学习上.一次次看他们从图书馆借了厚厚的一摞书,然后拼命用功的样子,真是让人感到振奋,自己的高中时代不也是一样.有一个不同的就是,他们的感情问题也是出了问题,其中一个居然爱上了自己的好朋友,当然了,也是男的.然后他向同样是同性恋的老师倾诉,当然了,没有俗套的爱上了老师,只不过老师让他从容面对而已.虽然少了情节上发展的空间,不过显得更加真实.这群男生的组合也相当的多姿多彩,传统的小白脸之外,还有一个开朗的大胖子,简直就是那个老师的翻版,而且还很愿意学女生,真是别具一格;一个运动方面的专家,说萨特非常擅长高尔夫;一个犹太人,不能自慰,而且对于集中营的惨剧认识很深;还有一个穆斯林,却被人与印度人混为一谈;还有一个黑人...总之,不是传统的白人天下,这么多的男生,总有一款适合那些女观众吧.最后的那个结尾,虽然我认为有点悲惨,一个皆大欢喜的结局难道不好?但是,当镜头慢慢的拉开,用一种回忆的语气谈论那些男生之后的生活时,一种沧桑感突然的涌上了心头,突然间,这部喜剧有了深度.它所说的不仅是大学录取前的补习课了,更变成了,一个优秀老师对于学生影响的很好的诠释.这点和其他的校园片没什么两样,可是,这样不好么?还有,这部电影的台词真是太赞了.让我们顺便体验了一下英国诗歌的美.有一个疑问,为什么同样是大学的入学考试,斯国的可以如此的多姿多彩,反身自顾,我操.真希望中国早日有这么一部影片出现,而且还是现实主义作品.http://tin1016.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!49A79B57DDF65AA1!1238.entry

在有些人眼里，影片的同性恋内容有点观赏障碍。

实际上，大多数同志情节仅仅意味着青春性冲动，如果因为这个原因错过这部电影，或者因此诟病这部影片，那就太低估自己的鉴赏力了。

对于酷爱哲学、历史、文学、艺术的观众来说，The History Boys充满了精妙的智慧，很多情节会让人产生强烈的共鸣；如果你喜爱哲学、历史、文学、艺术和男孩，那么，The History Boys就圆满了\(^o^)/Nicholas Hytner和Alan Bennett为这部影片贡献了精彩的剧本，一流的台词，机智有趣的细节，还有广博的人生观和前卫的历史观并且把抽象的理念和典雅的内涵非常巧妙地融入到青春生活中，自然流畅，不落俗套。

细节与情节环环相扣，每一处交锋和引用都暗示着某种生活状态和角色心理。

最重要的，这些生活细节和历史中的角色，或者某些文学作品中的人生，同样息息相关，同样的感同身受。

历史和文艺，就是这样生动地被带入永恒的记忆。

The History Boys也是如此来打动喜欢思考的观众。

当然，还有群体一流的表演！！！

It’s not in the subjunctive！

The History Boys他们太有才了！

只能说我太shallow，片子看完长达一周的时间，还摸不透。

只是有一些零散的片段。

1.英国最美好的事物：男校+同性恋 果然是没错的2.太多的文学文法诗歌知识，只能再次证明我的粗浅。

3.Hector是一个让人不好分辨的人。

道德真是个抽象而无耻的词。

当不同价值观碰撞的时候，一面的H是好教师，一面的H是烂老师。

由此再说到的是海南校长案。

到底是应该说孩子民风彪悍，还是说从女权主义的视角出发，抵触这种极度依附男权道德观的事情了。

所以我说道德真是个无耻而没底线的东西

虽然这片子在IMDB上评分一般,但是,谁又真正在乎那些IMDB上的人如果打分呢?自己爱就对了.比如我,我就非常喜欢这部电影,刚开始看地时候会让人摸不差头脑,但是慢慢入戏了,就会爱上他,这个电影根不是讲一帮朝气蓬勃的少年努力考牛津的故事,Well,这是故事的主线,但是我个人认为这仅仅是主线,在这部电影里,你会感爱到感到欧洲历史的美,法语的奇妙,英语的优雅,少年同性间的朦胧纯爱,那帮可爱的老师,在这些历史,文学中的浸淫,让人入迷......这是一部好电影,个人认为不是一部典型的喜剧,它是那种让你看后心里会浮想联翩,心里会充满好奇,同时还暖暖的电影.如一份口味既清淡,精巧,但又回味无穷的下午茶,细品之后,让人会心一笑

How do I define history?Well it’s just one fucking thing after another, isn’t it? 这句话是这部电影里的一句台词听到的时候大家都笑了不管是电视里的演员们还是电视外的我我们真的不在乎这些东西可我们也真的为了这些不在乎的东西活着我们到底要什么我们心里是怎么想的为什么都不能说出来当真正想说的说出来时却可能得到的只是一顿嘲笑人们嘲笑你可能并不是因为你真的愚蠢而恰恰相反的是他们嫉妒你嫉妒你可以随心所欲而他们不能他们只能继续走该走的路即使不是自己希望的那样因为可能他们自己也习惯了这种生活根本没有考虑过这个问题我想这种人就是白活了 我不能抑制的喜欢SAMUEL ANDERSON扮演的CROWTHER一点都不喜欢DAKIN因为C让我感觉真实他知道自己的想法也勇于承认自己的想法他知道自己喜欢DAKIN并不能跟他在一起因为D不是个GAY他甚至去看那些所谓的性教育书籍里面说这种情况可能是暂时性的是青春期的正常现象他期待着结束这种没有结果的情感可最后却发现他是唯一一个把HECTOR——众所周知的老GAY——的话全部听进去的孩子并且走上了他的路当了一名教师我知道我都知道C的感情不可能是暂时的当他一边唱着歌一边看着D的时候我就知道当他去找另外一个老师IRWIN讨论这个问题时我也知道宿命式的I会和D产生暧昧但C还是很冷静的继续听D讲着他要跟I出去的事情就有如以前听D说他跟那个校长小秘书已经跑到几垒一样 如果说这部电影是以同性恋题材出位我不同意如果说这部电影是以饱满的思想机智的话语出位我也不同意如果说这部电影是全靠之前舞台剧的成功而出位我也不会同意当你看了这部电影时音乐对话内容禁忌人性理想都是可能驱使你为之叫好的一个元素而不可能是全部是的就算之前舞台剧多么成功但不是编剧导演和演员的功力之好这也只能是一部趋于过时的一部电影更不可能在首映时能吸引皇室成员观看 我之所以忍到现在在看其实有两点一个是因为中国出的版本的碟封面不是我想要的虽然后来看习惯了也就算了有了其实也不错的想法看完后更是喜欢上了这个封面 还有一个原因是我怕会失望虽然打从一开始我就爱上了这部电影在不知道内容不知道演员的情况下但我莽撞的行为造成我之前很多次的希望落空但这次真的没有很久没有外国片子让我那么打从心里喜欢了即使他们在讲着他们的历史但感觉仿佛也是自己的他们讲着自己的事情但仿佛也跟自己有某些相似之处我想这个电影成功的在于他突破了时间的局限他们发现到不管活在什么年代孩子们对于未来的不确定性和迷茫都同样存在着并且鼓励我们冲破枷锁去获得自己想要的那个自己从来不曾想过能接近的梦想梦想不是用来幻想的而是为了去实现的

好久没有能有时间看电影，更不用说写些什么。

象以往的很多次一样，英国背景的小品电影，又一次打动我。

The History Boys 来头不小，由新鲜夺得2005年劳伦斯.奥立佛大奖最佳新编舞台剧、最佳导演及最佳男主角三项大奖的舞台剧改编而来。

20世纪80年代，英国的YORK郡，男孩子门在发芽萌动的心痒痒的夏天，却要面对进入牛津剑桥的严酷挑战，一边是带他们进入艺术世界却也不时骚扰他们的同性恋老教授HECKTOR，一边是新闯入这所沉闷学校的英俊牛津毕业生老师，吸引着最优秀的漂亮男生的目光。

在严谨和感性的对抗中，戏剧中锤炼出的台词如同颗颗珍珠一般闪亮而优雅。

爱情，永远是这个年纪的孩子没有接受却必须经过的必修课。

DAKIN原来的骄傲是接近校长的美女小秘的三垒，却在感激和欣赏之中发现自己最想取悦的是年轻的新老师IRWIN，在拿到牛津的OFFER之后和IRWIN单独相处的对话，咄咄逼人的火辣辣的对话，也许是他之后一生都不会有的表白。

一直明恋着DAKIN的POSNER，BE WITCHED的歌曲被他演绎的深情无比，他的无结果的单恋和对IRWIN的嫉妒竟然没有一点灰色的悲伤，反而在最后的毕业时分，因为DAKIN一个理解的拥抱依然笑靥盛开。

他知道自己是什么样的人，也因而理解HECKTOR的苦楚，对于太多不能表示的爱或者情感，也许只有温和的注视和在别人哭泣的时候能够轻轻拍拍他的肩膀。

而也是他在最后，把HECKTOR的精神传承了下去，静静的承受，用不多的天才传递着爱，如他所讲：I AM NOT HAPPY， BUT I AM NOT UNHAPPY ABOUT IT。

即便是IRWIN，在最开始就被看破的漂亮老师，不管是不是有了勇气真的去追求性取向里的那份冲动，毕竟不会再在名校毕业里的谎言继续一个自己并不最爱的工作，而是去做了一个记者，去讲述自己看到和相信的世界。

教育中，什么是有用的，而什么又是值得的？

历史是不是真的有其真实，或者只是一连串可能的堆砌？

而面对每个人自己的历史，而如何去书写他？

导演并没有树立一个万世师表的标杆，或一群天天向上的好学生，并不想给出任何答案。

只是一个老爷爷，一个年轻教师和一群真实的年轻人的夏天。

突然WONDER为什么涉及到同性话题的电影总离不开夏天，也许这种时候，一切都肆意生长，有种种理由去不拒绝诱惑，或者仅仅是因为，生命，其实也都应该有一季绽放，甚至不为了结果。

电影的结尾,又一首注定要象CLOSER里面的BLOWERS DAUGHTER一样要被我记得的歌曲,同性恋歌手Rufus Wainwright翻唱的JAZZ老歌Bewitched,JAZZ就象爱情本身,被无数的人演绎,但总有一个人会有最让你心动的味道。

那一刻，就象HECKTOR所形容，象有一只手穿越层层时空，握住你的手，然后你知道，茫茫人海你并不寂寞。

原谅我又一次Bewitched BY 那些闪亮的台词，让我用HECKTOR最痛恨而IRWIN最喜欢的摘句来结束这文章：LOVE APART IS THE ONLY EDUCATION THAT WORTH HAVING.PASS IT ON，BOYS，TAKE IT，FEEL IT，PASS IT ON
