Movie Reviews of The Chess Players
Movie Review: A funny kind of blue film
Summary: 4 Stars
Few people are aware that the British Empire was as bad as this
with marching into a peaceful kingdom that had long time supported them.
The two landed gentry struggle to play the Indian version of chess in this time of transition. The story of the king asked to step down contrary to a signed treaty just so that the "Company" could make a higher profit
is a classical historic one. The other Indian kingdoms gained nothing but
Kipling novels for their efforts to resist.
We are told that Kipling was a great poet and novelist,
but it seems that he just may have been a picked sell out from India?
This movie is certainly a very different view of those times.
A very good movie with really beautiful filming
of period costumes and customs I would have this shown to world hisatory students.
