i decide to watch the history boy after firstly see a trailer depict a seemingly innocent story of the quest to academic excellence and secondly hear that it be an excellent adaptation . what my girlfriend and i discover be a sickening portrayal of homosexual promiscuity make even bad by the strong suggestion that child molestation be just a bit of fun with the offend character portray a a misunderstood man . there be no justification whatsoever for the writer promote this kind of behaviour and the film completely ignore the misery and suffering that the paedophile victim endure throughout . i strongly advise anyone look for thoughtful and insightful cinema to look elsewhere the history boys be like trojan horse and on the outside seemingly fun and innocent tale of adolescence and academic but underneath be a dangerous and sicken endorsement of child molestation spearhead by the writer vile sodomite agenda .
