The History Boys: Bewitched

[MIKAVICKY]

i love this film,i love Posner ,and i love this song very much~~~

[CrtlAltDeleted]

I agree with the description 110%. xD

Priceless indeed!

[FantasmaLuna]

What a voice!

And what a flirt!

[Walbrook48]

"The History Boys" is both an immeditely enjoyable and on another level richly subtle piece of work. Alan Bennett is British through and through, and one of the piece's most important subtexts is the rehabilitation of gay British writers like Noel Coward and Terence Rattigan.

[BeccaDu]

It has to be said oh very well Samuel Barnett sings, just lovely

[boobyrooberts]

If that actually happened at an all boys school, god help the kid singing..

[mc0558]

What is remarkable about the history boys is how tolerant and civilised they are as symbolised by Scrips.

The straight kid that all the gays yearn for is so nice that when he gets into Oxford he is ready to give everyone around him a piece of what they want. He embraces his young classmake. He's going to give the old school master a little grope if that's what he wants. And he encourages the young school master to overcome his fears and have a go with him if that is what he wants. Nice guy!

[justanotherrandom432]

Sorry to be picky.... but isn't that dakin?

I get what you mean though =D

[bdlamb1972sa]

ahh.. how beautiful. sometimes I wish I was gay when I see how loving and wonderful you guys are.

a lovely song. . the young man's voice is rather captivating, I say.

[justanotherrandom432]

I love Posner so much. He's the sweetest character. But I'm a scripps girl through and through... that grin is priceless!

[Sabriel81]

Samuel Barnett has an amazing voice and Jamie Parker is brilliant and adorable

[tonym650]

I just love the lack of PC banter and clouting round the head with rolled up exercise books. lol, great movie and exact reproduction of the times. Bye bye blackbird in assembly is quite moving.

[aliarikan]

A gay teen singing "Bewitched, Bothered, Bewildered," in the middle of class to the, apparently straight, school heartthrob in front of all his peers is an "exact reproduction of the times?" He'd get the shit kicked out of him! History Boys is a lot of things, most of them great, but realistic it is not.

[LukaHartman]

Just because you cannot personally connect with a show or the shows plot, do not dismiss it as unrealistic and make judgments about it before you know the entire background of the show.

[LukaHartman]

As for being realistic, it most certainly is. This movie reminds me of many events in my life, especially my best friend who was a teacher, and died. And I also had a tight group of friends like these boys that always accepted me. And I have had many straight friends I have had crushes on, yet they have never kicked the shit out of me for it.

[LukaHartman]

Whether or not he is gay, bi or closeted, or straight, no one really knows. That depends on how the actor plays the part. And don't forget, this is NOT AMERICA, Europe is a very different place. The school system in Europe is extremely different than that of ours in the US!!! This is a completely different world than what you know.

[LukaHartman]

Clearly you do not understand this show at all. That is the whole point of the show. ACCEPTANCE of each other. For god's sake, HECTOR is gay and they accept it! This is a tight group of friends, and that's an understatement even. These boys have a deep bond, a connection and a love for each other. Everyone knows that Posner is in love with Dakin!!! Dakin doesn't care; his character feeds off of attention.

[TravellingCanuck]

I'd give a lot of money to have Sam Barnett sing this song, with that look, to me. The "come hither" look as he sings, "Worship the trousers that cling to him..." ... zomg - chills! A boy can dream...

[justanotherrandom432]

I never noticed that look until you pointed it out... wow!

Agreeing with you 100% there!

[x0lovee0x]

Scripps's grin was priceless =]

Posner's voice is incredible..

I love Parker and Barnett. =D

[bubbles459]

Jamie Parker is incredibly adorable

[manessahlynn]

Oh its the sweetest! Dominic's looks are priceless

[xxfacexfacexx]

I just LOVE how Jamie Parker plays the piano here....so much.

This movie is absolutly amazing. Everytime.

[patty900]

i love the look that dominic gives in 1:25-1:26.

it's so sweet.

btw I love how samuel barnett sings this song.

he's a very good singer.

[joanbo16]

i like so much this song

[Whorekins]

James Corden is so funny in this bit as he just keeps staring at Dominic Cooper Laughing at him and Samuel Barnett is a good singer love this song

[SylviaBevan]

Strange that Samuel Barnett (Posner) is actually in his mid-late twenties here - he is very convincing in his role and lovely voice =)

[ecataldo]

And Dakin is actually a year older than Irwin in real life.

[RandomFreakyGirl]

I love ALL of their faces at this part!!!

[cinderella857]

Love Scripps.

Best part of a brill movie.

[latinoguy]

[Monkeylobber111]

[junhwan4u]

ohhh my wonderful song .. Samuel Barnett is so hot

[Harriet123P]

Could I reqest that someone posts this same song sung by Rufus Wainwright over the credits of the History Boys? Rufus has an amazing voice.

As to this video...I love Dominic Cooper! *swoon*

[josephdrew87]

So how about Dominic Cooper for Bond... (a suggestion of Sam Barnett's funnily enough)

[nicolette1018]

I really love this movie. One of my favorite movies or if not THE MOST FAVORITE MOVIE. This has great scriptwriting...very smart and intelligent. Hope film makers would produce great movies with intelligent script writings.

[HeyScenesters]

jamie parker is one hot lad!

[hotfuss44]

aww unrequited love. though Dakin is a dickhead so it really isn't that bad

[josephdrew87]

Gosh, this is a brilliant sequence. I thing I'm in love with Dakin too... *sigh* I love Sam Barnett's rendition of this song. The way he says "trousers" to make it sound so provocative is just gorgeous. Brilliantr lads all of them.

[XxFreexEternalxX]

[blackpython]

Love this movie and this scene and this song! This may be my favorite version of Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered.

[vintagefish921]

Every time I watch this movie I fall a little more in love with Jamie Parker! *sigh* And of course he's the only one of the Boys whoo;s married! Grrr. And is it me or does he have the most beautiful hands?...

[arbeesrainbowvomit]

I so agree.

He is so wonderful.

His voice in this movie gets me <3

[wildehewlett]

I fell in love with Scripps... I always loved Bennett (my mum saw the first EVER Beyond the Fringe in Edinburgh and passed on the love to me - I'm hideously jealous) He was at school near me, in Edinburgh!

[AudsVids]

The whole sountrack is great.

[neznezneznez]

Samuel Barnett and Jamie Parker are unbelievably talented. So impressive.
