TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The cast for this movie are the same cast who appeared in the original play at the National Theatre in London, England.

The story is set in the early 1980s because shortly after this, Oxford and Cambridge changed their entrance system and abolished the seventh-term post-A-level entrance exams.

This movie was based on the award winning play by Alan Bennett, which ran at the National Theatre in London from May 2004 until April 2005.

Filmed in thirty days.

Richard Griffiths won the 2006 Tony Award (New York City) for Actor in a Drama for "The History Boys" as Mr. Hector, and re-created his role in this movie.

Popular Dialogues

"Hector: 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 even someone long dead. And it's as if a hand has come out, and taken yours."

"Mrs. Lintott: History is a commentary on the various and continuing incapabilities of men. What is history? History is women following behind with the bucket."
