Gavre Princip - Himmel unter Steinen (1990)
Chess
If anyone is wondering about the inclusion of Chess in the list of keywords for this film, it features a number of scenes where chess matches are played or discussed.
In some early scenes the students are seen at the café they frequent, playing chess; in one scene the game provides the metaphor for the planned assassination.
Later, when Princip is shown in prison at Theresienstadt, he has conversations with the prison doctor, and they play chess by memory (ie without a board). (The games featured look like real games, using the Paris Defence, unlike some depictions of chess in films).
The film itself was an interesting slant on a very familiar piece of history, by showing the affair entirely from the perspective of the students. (In doing so it pretty much glossed over the fact they killed two people, and plunged the world into a war that cost millions of lives, but maybe we know that well enough for it not to be objectionable.) An interesting exercise.
All the King's Men (1999)
good film; not a mystery
while I agree with other posters about the quality of this film (the characters, acting and storyline were impressive) I can't say the same for the "mystery" aspect of the incident in Gallipolli it is based on. It is a myth that no official explanation exists; the incident is recorded in detail in the regimental history of the Norfolk regiment, to which the Sandringham company belonged. It is also a myth that no trace of the men was ever found; whilst their fate was unknown during the war (hence the mystery) their graves were recorded in 1920. The sad truth seems to be that most of the men perished in the battle, and those that did not died as prisoners of war
