I agree but would like to add this; Dominic Copper was very subtle is his squirming and James Corden was both appreciative and homophobic at the same time. It helped to make this scene very effective!
@@annamari7863n’t know about James Corden specifically (although the role he played in the recent musical “Prom” was an affront to gays everywhere lol) but the character “Timms” that he portrayed in this movie/play frequently referred to people as “nancies” and such
And historicall inaccurate. In 1988, if a gay boy flirted like that with a straight boy, there would have been a classroom fight. No straight boy would have put up with that in the North in 1988.
"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.
Believe me I've been in this situation before and you would rather think twice before wishing such a thing. Unrequited love is one of the most painful experiences one can have and it's many times dangerous as it leads to suicidal thoughts and so on. At the very least most friends I loved were very respectiful to me, unlike the guy in the movie that treats him like shit.
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?...
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.
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.
He Went For Most Virile And Most Unavailable - He Could Have The Lovable Pianist or The Simpleton Athlete or Tall Milkman... He Could Have The Asian or Blackman or Loud Chubby Ones... The Pianist For Me...
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.
Samuel Barnett and Jamie Parker are unbelievably talented. So impressive.

I just LOVE how Jamie Parker plays the piano here....so much.
This movie is absolutly amazing. Everytime.
They didn't know he could play the piano when first written.
Scripps is also very talented playing the piano. The whole cast is fantastic! One of the best films/plays i've ever read and seen!
It has to be said oh very well Samuel Barnett sings, just lovely
Love this movie and this scene and this song! This may be my favorite version of Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered.
Mine too!
“Worship the TROUSERS THAT CLING TO HIM” is so extra and I scream every time
Oh its the sweetest! Dominic's looks are priceless

@@scinformation7229 Dakin isn’t straight either!
And side note I believe it is 1983
Could not love this any more than I do.

Beguiled, bewitched, bothered and bewildered is a young person's game. Until life hits one.
I worship the trousers that cling to him🤣
MY FAVORITE LINE 😂
beautiful grin from the turning piano player balances the emotions in the scene
Scripps is such a troublemaker!
This scene had captivated me so much that I always have Rob Stewart Bewitched on my playlist ever since. Love the movie
I absolutely love Jamie Parker - amazing pianist and really fit!
a few seconds of human majick , which turns my heart over between sad and happy .
he's great voice and a great actor... deserving to win the tony!
A classic! nothing more to say!
I have no idea how Samuel Barnett isn't a household name by now
My favourite song in my favourite film...

It’s Dominic Cooper who does it for me 😂
LOve hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim.

You'll always find a warm welcome should you ever er visit us!
You don’t have to be gay to sing like that

Is that a lean version of James Corden sitting there?
