Movie Review: The History Boys

Only one thumb up for this one. Ricky hated it, I really liked it. Another artsy film. It actually started off as a stage production, which I kind of wish I hadn't known because I sat through the whole thing trying to figure out how they'd done it on stage. Stage and screen are so incredibly different.

Anyway, maybe the reason I liked it is because it's about the relationship between students and teachers, and how it can be hard to not cross the invisible line, and how as a teacher you get to caring about your student, and how as a student it can be hard to remember that teacher does not equal friend. I don't know, I really liked it, but I'd guess I'm in the minority.
