After the chess game between Death and the knight in Ingmar Bergman's movie The Seventh Seal, this may be the most iconic chess game in movie history.
In this shortened clip from Blade Runner (1982), the runaway replicant Roy Batty beats his maker Elon Tyrell in chess. Elon Tyrell is the head of the Tyrell Corporation, a manufactor of replicant in this movie.
The ex-slave Roy Batty wants to meet up with Tyrell in hope of a longer life span than the four years replicants gets in this movie.
The aesthetics of this scene, as well as the movie it is from, is truly first-class. The apartment of J.F. Sebastian and the bedroom of Elon Tyrell are crowded with cool stuff. The lightning is really dramatic and eiree.
Blade Runner was almost wholly made with analogue technique. Analogue technique has its drawbacks, but in creating atmosphere it is great. You can almost feel the smell of gasoline, acid rain, sweat, booze and noodles when watching this movie.
