Even with the two movies being set in two completely different areas, the same concept continues to arise. Love and partnership is essential to…
Lastly is the film technique of symbolism. This is expressed though the chess board scene that occurs just before Roy and Sebastian arrive to meet Tyrell. Symbolism is considered to be an aspect within a film, usually physical, that makes reference to another important idea either in another part of the film, or the real world. The chess board is clearly an example of this, through how, while it does serve the purpose of a chess board, there are many discreet yet noticeable surrounding meanings.…

Also, on page 12 it says “Back in those days the town was pretty much divided. The East End was blacks, the West…
