Oliver!

The extraordinary true story of Oliver Woodward. It's 1916 and Woodward must tear himself from his new young love to go to the mud and carnage of the Western Front. Deep beneath the German lines. Woodward and his secret platoon of Australian tunnelers fight to defend a leaking, labyrinthine tunnel system packed with enough high explosives to change the course of the War.

L’histoire débute le 22 juin 1990 dans la petite ville anglaise de Newton Haven : cinq adolescents au comble de l’âge ingrat fêtent la fin des cours en se lançant dans une tournée épique des pubs de la ville. Malgré leur enthousiasme, et avec l’absorption d’un nombre impressionnant de pintes de bière, ils ne parviennent pas à leur but, le dernier pub sur leur liste : The World’s End (La Fin du Monde). Une vingtaine d’années plus tard, nos cinq mousquetaires ont tous quitté leur ville natale et sont devenus des hommes avec femme, enfants et responsabilités, à l’alarmante exception de celui qui fut un temps leur meneur, Gary King, un quarantenaire tirant exagérément sur la corde de son adolescence attardée.

On November 22, 1963, president John F. Kennedy is assassinated in Dallas. Lee Harvey Oswald is arrested for the crime and subsequently shot by Jack Ruby, supposedly avenging the president's death.

A Zed And Two Noughts - by Peter Greenaway (1985)

Oliver Deuce, a successful doctor, is shattered when his wife is killed in a freak car accident involving the car being driven by Alba Bewick colliding with a very large rare bird. His twin brother Oswald is researching how carcasses decay at the local zoo. Alba survives the accident although she loses one leg, and her sinister physician eventually removes the other 'because it looked so sad all alone'. Oswald and Oliver become involved in a menage a trois with Alba, and uncover very dubious trafficking in zoo property. But ultimately their only goal is to try and understand their mortal condition.
