详细剧情

  这是一群高智商男生们的故事。二十世纪八十年代,英国北部的一所男子中学里,八个高中生正积极准备着牛津和剑桥大学的招生考试。这几个男生性格各异。有万人迷,自视甚高的Dakin(多米尼克•库珀 Dominic Cooper 饰);有四肢发达头脑不简单的Rudge(拉塞尔•托维 Russell Tovey 饰)等。他们对课本对知识有属于自己的解读。  教他们文学的是个肥胖,教学方式独特的怪老头Hector(理查德•格雷弗斯 Richard Griffiths饰),他主张学生通过课本获得情感上的共鸣和享受,而不是单纯为了升学而读。与他教学模式相反的则是学校新聘请的老师Tom(斯蒂芬•坎贝尔•莫尔 Stephen Campbell Moore 饰)。Tom的目标则是协助这些孩子尽可能考上牛津或剑桥。两种老师的两种教学模式,究竟孰优孰劣,或许并没有一个标准答案。

 长篇影评

 1 ) 历史无正解

上世纪八十年代初的约克郡文法学校,8个背景不同的学生、3个方法迥异的老师、1个刻板的校长,妙语连珠,教学相长,构成了一出难得的校园喜剧。 类似国内中学追求升学率和高考状元,英国的学校也有拿奖学金进牛津剑桥的硬指标。校长(Clive Merrison)认为,这些天才男孩是他刷新校绩的好苗子,但基础科教师Hector (Richard Griffiths)却专注于文学品位和趣味。 对Hector而言,“不存在什么通识,只有特定的感悟,而且知识不以掌握多少和好坏为衡量标准”,在他的法语课上,学生可以模拟妓院的场景,引用著名诗句来演绎艳遇。 他不希望等学生们人到中年再领悟文学的魅力,他让孩子们在青春年少时就体尝到创作的乐趣,哪怕他们把音乐剧改成杂耍和闹剧。“阅读中最大的乐趣,就是你突然领悟到什么,一种思想、一段情感、一个视角,和一个未曾谋面的人有了共鸣,就像有人握住了你的手”,他在诠释Thomas Hardy的诗歌时,分明是在注解自己的人生。他认为激发孩子们的活力才能产生头脑风暴,哪怕得用书砸他们的脑袋。 校长自然认为Hector不适合搞应试教育,就聘用了一个新人Irwin (Stephen Campbell Moore)来做考前集训。Irwin认为答题越奇葩越好,不论观点对错、是否属实,你去证明斯大林是个大善人更容易脱颖而出被名校录取。 本片编剧Bennett爱反讽爱狡辩爱唱反调,Irwin的离经叛道自然冒犯了Hector的道德标准,而Hector的行为不检点又突破了大众的道德底线。Hector认为“知识的传播本身就带有色情意味”,不幸的是他把这个信念付诸行动,在摩托车上抚摸那些男孩。 在多角度的辩论中、在青春的荒唐中、在分析成人世界的过程中,孩子们也悄然成长。那种青涩的机智和懵懂的热情也是此片的魅力之一。 在片尾他们成年后的命运让人感慨,我们也见证了一场人生酸甜苦辣的悲喜剧。 校长说:“Hector作为老师不合时宜,他是个启蒙者,但他的成就却无法以成绩来定量”

 2 ) 简评

1、The History Boys讲述的是一群英国高中生,也就是一群非常鲜嫩活泼的青春肉体,在那个骚动、迷惘、正在逐渐建立起自己人生的价值观、寻找自己的种种人生角色、并为了未来而全情努力的高考阶段的故事。这部电影涉及了很多议题,有迷惘青春的私密成长,有同志身份的认同与隐瞒,有对教育制度、教育观的审视与对抗,中间穿插了文学与历史的思辨、诱惑、赞美与传传承,通过两代人饱含机智、幽默和脉脉温情的交锋,传递了对生命、价值的思考。

2、电影上映时间2006年10月13日(英国),戏剧原作上演时间2004年5月(伦敦利特尔顿剧院)2006年4月23日(美国百老汇)。话剧获得2006年6项托尼奖,包括最佳话剧奖、最佳导演奖、最佳女配角奖、最佳男演员奖,、最佳美术设计奖和最佳灯光设计奖。托尼奖在戏剧界相当于电影界的奥斯卡,美国戏剧界最高奖项。

3、导演Nicholas Hytner是英国国家剧院经营人,话剧导演。剧作者Alan Bennett艾伦班尼特,英国著名剧作家,文化名人,在英国家喻户晓、获奖无数。爸爸是个屠夫,牛津大学历史系出身,留校任教中世纪历史几年后,转为专职写作。从1960年代开始投身剧本创作,并以自身担任导演及演员的经验为基础,写出许多精采佳作。他以《The History Boys》赢得戏剧界最高荣誉托尼奖,并曾以《疯狂乔治王》(The Madness of King George)入围奥斯卡最佳改编剧本。他也出版散文集《Writing Home》及自传作品《Untold Stories》等。他1997年身患癌症,当时开始撰写Untold Stories,抱着离世的心情写作,自传中首次透露了他的同性恋身份(他之前跟女性也有过关系)。后来他的癌症得以治愈,自传正式出版。目前他与他的男伴已经相处了14年,一直居住在伦敦。他最近的一本散文集《非普通读者》,虚构了一个英国女王迷恋读书之后种种疯狂行径的故事,在英国大受好评,目前相继在台湾、大陆出版了中文译本。


4、影片背景设置在1983年英国谢菲尔德一所男子高中文法学校。为什么要设置在这个年代呢,这跟英国的高考制度有关。概括地说,英国高考称为A-LEVEL考试,有几十项科目可以选择,学生至少学习三门课程,只要在两门课的考试中取得E即可达到一些普通大学的入学标准,较好的大学要求学生3门课的成绩均达到C以上。而一流大学如牛津、剑桥等名校则要求申请学生3门课的成绩达到AAA或AAB。而在1983年那个年代,牛津和剑桥有专门的入学考试,拿到3个A的学生,还要开始一段为期一个月、所谓的seventh-term,主要针对某一科目进行深造,以应对牛津和剑桥的考试。此后不久牛津和剑桥就改变了入学考试方式,废除了所谓的seventh-term,所以影片设置在1983年。
本片中这所男校中有8个学生拿到了3个A的成绩,他们回到校园,继续学习,他们选择的科目是历史。一心追求名校升学率的校长,生怕原有的历史老师不够资格、太保守,不能应付牛津的考试,因此聘请到一位新的历史老师,这位老师据说出身牛津,充满活力,并且了解牛津要什么样的学生。校长希望新历史老师的专门辅导能够帮助他们登上牛津剑桥的宝座。The History Boys的故事由此展开。

5、电影版演员与戏剧版首演演员完全一致。老师阵营为谢菲尔德男校校长、历史老师Mrs Dorothy Lintott、语文与常识课老师Hector海克特(Richard Griffiths)、历史老师Irwin欧文(Stephen Campbell Moore)等。学生主要有Dakin、Posner、Akthar、Crowther、Lockwood、Rudge、Scripps、Timms。
Hector扮演者Richard Griffiths是英国著名演员,饰演多部莎剧丑角,《哈利波特》电影中扮演哈利的姨父。老爷子对戏剧有很高的崇敬,比如有次演出,有观众手机铃声响了6次,他忍无可忍,终于中止表演让该观众出去。2008年新年接受女王授勋。
Dakin扮演者Dominic Cooper,1978年生,伦敦音乐戏剧艺术学院科班出身。主演过妈妈咪呀等剧。今年5月刚跟女友分手。目前跟HISTORY BOYS里中扮演Timms的胖子住在一起。曾登上2008年7月号英国版Attitude杂志封面,此为著名同志杂志。
Posner扮演者Samuel Barnett,1980年生,自幼表演,同样是伦敦音乐戏剧艺术学院出身,平日最爱去国家剧院酒吧,爱读科幻小说,如菲利浦普曼的《黑暗元素三部曲》,他也主演了这部话剧。他还是哈利波特和魔戒的爱好者,最爱读狄更斯。




 3 ) 做个把自己生活搞糟的大人又如何

I'm wild again
be geld again
a simipering,whimpering child again
bewiched, bothered and bewildered
I'm on...
couldn't sleep. I wouldn't sleep
when love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
bewiched, bothered and bewildered
I'm on...
lost my heart
but what of it
he is cold I agree
he can laugh but I love it
although the love saw me
I'll sing to him
each spring to him
and worship the trousers that cling to him
bewiched, bothered and bewildered
I'm on...

17、8岁的聪明学生,算得上真正意气风发,就要为实现人生第一个目标努力,结果也清晰可见。有那么点小烦恼小困惑,是今后无数烦恼困惑的开始和演习,但此时都还没有那么痛只是有点痒。

再来看看大人们的情况:Hector教学方法这样新奇,鼓励学生为兴趣而活,结果呢已婚的男人却是同性恋者;Irwin激发大家说得新奇,一击即中,但扯谎说自己来自牛津;Dorothy的大脑容量驱不散“History is woman following behind with a bucket”的想法;校长是所有被升学利益诱惑的典型。

人不管到不到中年都开始有自己的隐痛,哪像自以为成熟的孩子们样样都可以摊开来在阳光下晒,活得透明。回头看看走过的二十年,一开始也都个个明媚笑得灿烂,生活不知几时开始把每一人运送进不同轨道。或者,每一人不知几时开始把生活搞糟。

那又怎么样呢?这就是人生吧,要你尝遍每一种滋味,然后才有所体会,什么是酸什么是甜,还有所谓bittersweet,要你领会快乐总是比痛苦长存。

 4 ) 即使到了世界末日,我们也需要人文教育

我儿子在文科上比较有天分,在理科上也就一般般。他喜欢阅读,喜欢思考“大”问题,比如乌托邦的设计中不允许有游戏是不好的。跟所有孩子一样,他感兴趣的东西可以过目不忘,还能结合新闻谈点自己对时事的看法。他对历史感兴趣,希望我给他讲故事。他还能写诗,对文字的美有很不错的品味。然而我却不怎么喜欢跟他讲那些,因为我不希望他对文科感兴趣,在我看起来,读文科日后是要饿死的,而且还会因为想太多而不快乐。

然而,今天我看了《The History Boys》(B站有看,中英文字幕,中文译名《历史系男生》)。背景是1986年,约克郡一个小镇上的男校,雄心勃勃的校长想让那届成绩最好的高三学生去考牛津的奖学金,请来了个代课老师做专门针对名校笔试、面试的特训。剧情的冲突有好几条线,腐国男校里常见的同性恋,老师对学生的性骚扰,实用主义的教育和博雅教育之间的矛盾,以及历史和文学本身引发的思考。几条线交织在一起,复杂而不芜杂,深刻而不刻意,伤感而不煽情。让我觉得,学文科还是好的。

我们归根结底还是人啊,在解决了温饱,买上了房子和车子,能出国旅行,能买个名牌包包,能把孩子送进名校之外,我们还是人啊,一个一个,能快乐,会感伤,面对生和死,爱和别离。而那些人性共通的东西,只有最好的人文教育才能激发出来。即使到了世界末日,我们也需要人文教育,那是能把人从苦难中提拔出来的稻草。

【以下有剧透】

我最喜欢的一段,是胖老师Hector在教室里给学生Posner讲Hardy的诗Drummer Hodge。这时Hector刚刚得知自己因为性骚扰学生的丑行而被解雇,失魂落魄地到教室里,却毫无心理准备地遇到等着他讲解诗歌的Posner。Posner充满感情地朗诵这首诗,描述年轻的鼓手从英国乡村出来,没多久就死在南非的战场上,埋在那里,年老的诗人刻画生命的虚掷,充满感伤。念完后,老师似乎还没从被解雇的噩耗中回过神来,敷衍般问学生的感想。学生兴致勃勃地将这首诗对死在异乡的描述和另一首诗比较。而老师这时候才仿佛慢慢找到感觉,告诉他为什么Hardy写得更好,告诉他这首诗的历史背景,告诉他为何诗里的鼓手是有名字的,这名字意味着什么。告诉他为什么要用uncoffined这个词聊描述死者,这个词的意义,这个词传达的情感。老师没有提到一个字关于自己当时的心情,但他显然感染到了他的学生,把他和学生都带到了诗的情感中,然后Hector说了下面这段话:

“The best moments 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 someone long dead. And, ... it's as if a hand...has come out... and taken yours."

当说到... it's as if a hand... has come out...,老师伸出手去,像是要递给学生,而学生也正要伸手去接,老师却抽了回来,... and taken yours,他把双手虚握放在了胸口。他是一个性骚扰学生的老师,也是一个了不起的导师,从猥琐到崇高,人性的复杂,表现得淋漓尽致。

Hector和Totti是老派的老师,大量的知识灌进去,孩子们都够聪明,像海绵吸水一样吸收知识,灌多少吸收多少,历史、诗歌、法文...。Irwin却是新派的老师,用电影里孩子的话来说,cutting-edge,逼着孩子去创新,以知识为阶梯去叩问,不满足于复制知识而强迫他们去创新说。这是我看到的最直观的方式表达高中教育和大学教育的区别,或者说传统大学教育和现代大学教育的区别。

我也喜欢他们的小班讨论,讨论大屠杀,讨论历史是什么。老师提问,学生回答,同意不同意都可以,课后去图书馆借一大堆书来,回家一边查书一边写文章支持自己的观点,然后老师批阅他们的文章。这是博雅教育的精华,用一个灵魂去敲击另一个灵魂,认真严肃的思考,我理想中的seminar。

在古迹参观的时候,大家排好队合影,就缺胖老师Hector。他慢慢地走过去,一边走一边说:

"Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it, and pass it on. Not for me, not for you. But for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on."

正好前天吃饭时闲聊,说起我儿子长大干什么。他爸爸希望他做科学家,我说他理科不够好,恐怕够呛。外婆说他可以做诗人,我说不行做诗人会饿死的。外婆说,没关系,妹妹长大了赚钱养哥哥。我们都笑了,我儿子却一言不发。后来他爸爸再三问他,他很严肃地回答:“我要做老师,我要把知识传给后代。” 还特地强调了一句:“我要做小学老师。” 我笑了,因为他幼儿园的时候就说过想做幼儿园老师, 以此类推,说不定上了大学以后就想做大学老师了,似乎也没有离我们对他的期望太远。后来我看到Hector说的这段话,我意识到我才是狭隘的那一个。超越了个人的成败得失,他看到了更深远的东西。That's the game he wants to learn, to pass it on。

 短评

7/10。虚拟语态、文学互动下确凿的史实被颠覆和解构,学生戴金用虚拟时态向欧文表示,哈利法克斯去看牙医的决定影响了二战英国的胜败,就以一个偶然的因素表达历史和人生的无常,而当赫克托向学生讲述哈代反映祖鲁战争的诗歌里的鼓手的时候,他把自己的遭遇同那个被埋于无名荒野的鼓手联系在一起,同性恋的赫克托在学校中始终被剥夺话语权,也是历史话语的偏见的受害者。历史无正解,它是一件接一件狗屁事,也是女老师愤愤不平谈论历史是男人的无聊论调,截然不同的两人也难以给出明确答案,赫克托独特教学方式不会空谈知识的乐趣,天马行空地借历史教授诗歌、戏剧和电影桥段,欧文则拘泥于名校的规则,面对学生赤裸裸的表白求欢也不敢逾越出界,完全没有课堂上教授学生逆向思维的离经叛道,假冒牛津毕业的声誉,实际上摧毁了自己非名校毕业的知识潜力。

“死亡诗社”的另一诠释,英美差异显露无遗。英国人的高人一等幽默风趣僵硬严谨智慧闪耀,Hmmm……我更喜欢英国制造。女教师关于“历史无女人”那段太犀利了。我爱Rudge直板板的抛弃牛津去铺地毯的气质,我爱小受老师僵硬的举止闪烁的眼神苍白的嘴唇,我爱色老师浪费生命的教学方法,我爱小天使 posner的眼神和歌声,念诗那段太美了!最后——换掉男主!受不了一群天使围绕着一个自大白痴丑男主!我要舞台版的Jamie King!

这简直就是腐国的精华啊,诗歌与搅基双管齐下。对白犀利,语速惊人,信息量让人目不暇接,言语之物也是那般深刻,宗教信仰、身份和性格带来的小幽默还都是点到即止,那种只有过来人才懂,会心一笑之后当成一个荤段子,比如基督小哥自告奋勇坐上胖老师的摩托车享受同性按摩。★★★★

读诗歌,读文学,读历史,读所有看似奢侈无用的东西,都是为了有一天,当一切发生在自己身上时,当别人感觉天崩地裂时,你已经手握着解药。

就在我沉醉在随时从他们几位即将自由开展人生使用身体的年轻人嘴里冒出的诗句反观自己不说英国文学就是在中国古典文学面前也只有跪舔的份儿时,Hector在Posner这个少年时的自己背诵哈代一首关于“正名与归宿”的诗结尾后讲出了真正的文学意义——不在于你记住了多少诗句,而在于它是否抓住了你的手。
