The Geri Game

The Geri Game

It starts out with this old man playing chess and you see that it is against himself. You can tell right off the bat that one is “the evil one” and the other is “the good one”. This shows tension between the two characters. They also portray this with the colors behind them on the trees, red for evil and yellow for good. It shows how he is struggling against himself in this harsh battle. It’s a back and forth game where red is dominating yellow for most of the game. It comes down to the last point and yellow doesn’t know what to do. Red has pretty much cheated and played his way to the top so that yellow had no chance at all to overcome him. You see that yellow then starts a tactic where he distracts his opponent. His opponent becomes baffled and confused and doesn’t know what to do. As this is going on yellow turns the table before red can see. Red doesn’t realize it and it shows how yellow wins the game. The meaning behind this is that yellow had more determination than red, it just seems as though red is more competitive. It shows that yellow was throwing hint about wanting the teeth, chewing gum and missing his dentures. That motivation is the key to receiving what is rightfully yours.
