思考的重要性

Dakin: How do you think history happens?
Tom Irwin: What?
Dakin: How does stuff happen, do you think? People decide to do stuff. Make moves. Alter things.
Tom Irwin: I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Dakin: No? Think about it.
Tom Irwin: Some do... make moves, I suppose. Others react to events. In 1939 Hitler made a move on Poland. Poland defended itself.
Dakin: ...gave in.
Tom Irwin: Is that what you mean?
Dakin: No. Not Poland anyway. Was Poland taken by surprise?
Tom Irwin: To some extent. Though they knew something was up.

由舞台劇搬到大熒幕，原班人馬。最初還以為是搞笑的鬧劇/小品，原來卻不簡單。一班優秀的中學生為考上劍橋牛津，學校特別為他們補課。學習過程有笑有淚，從文學戲劇歷史來培養思考能力，沒有已成定俗的規限，誰說德國促成二次大戰?只有你有清楚的論點，駁得掂，二次大戰的發起國也可以是英國。
