History boys))

  Comparison between the film called History Boys and the book.

After reading the book and  watching a film I understood that the story line goes in slightly different order. I noticed that some characters are different in the film,some of them are represented  defferently then it’s shown in the book.For example Headmaster seems more demanding and serious in the book,where in the film he looks more cunning and nicer then expected.Posner’s caracteristics are showing more in the film then they are in the book because, through the visual image people can see that he is more into male sex without even him talking about it.Also in the film Irwin is having his classes outside and it wasn’t even in the book, plus Dakin’s scene of having sex with Fiona is completely gone from the film and not mentioned.One character was added into the film in order to show that boys have more then just three teachers,that’s why the art teacher was added into the film and wasn’t mentioned in the book.The other moment made me think, why was headmaster’s wife replased by random bus lady? She saw Hector touching the boy in the film, but in the book it was headmaster’s wife.Also Irwin is not in the weelchair towards the end of the film but in the book he is.In the book author doesn’t tell us that one of the students (Lockwood) dies.Posner changes more in the book then he is the film, film director changed a lot of little bits and pieces and in my opinion that the film would be so much better if it had all small details from the book.
