The History Boys: Difference between revisions

Hector: But it will, Timms, it will. And when it does you'll have the antidote ready. }}

* [[Trailers Always Lie]]: It's an uplifting coming-of-age drama where a good-looking teenage boy and his friends chase girls while struggling to get into Oxford! Meanwhile, their inspirational teacher is persecuted by the stuffy headmaster for his progressive teaching style! Also, judging by the Blur soundtrack, it's the mid-90s... (There's no hint at all from the trailer that the main characters are gay, to the point that disparate scenes are cut together to make Dakin's relationship with Fiona look like a major plot element and Posner's line about being "I'm a Jew, I'm small, I'm homosexual and I live in Sheffield" is cut to just "I'm small and I live in Sheffield".)

* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]: In the film there is a [[Bittersweet Ending|bittersweet]] one. In the play it's just depressing.

* [[You Make Me Sic]]: A variation: "Actually Hector would like that — 'your sucking me off'. It's a gerund. He likes gerunds."
