The Immortal Game
The metaphorical Chess game between two powerful Men. Every conflict has two sides. And there are people behind every conflict and they only give order to their people like they are a piece of solder in the world of chess. We can see the chess playing but there are no hands behind but only their commands. (Like all powerful people who play chess using people).
And when the chess or the game ends; the two conflicting people shake hands with each other and leave. Later all those who are involved or remain in becomes dust/garbage waiting to end up in a black box which is a symbol of their grave. In the end, Nothing Matters, who win or lose.
The name immortal game was given because the chess move they played was “The Immortal Game Chess Movement”.
The Watch re-present time, chessboard in our earth, chess is the people, players re-present powerful people who use others & the maintenance guy is their executor who sometimes entertains them.
However, since, it’s an experimental film, the re-presentation might come different in different people.
