Inspiration 4 - Geri's game

This award winning short animated film didn't influence this project from a technical point of view. The plot of the short presents an old man trying to pass his time playing against himself in a game of chess.  Geri's game served this project in its phenomenological approach. Despite its playful and cheerful mood, the actions of the main character can be perceived as sad, depicting a lonely old man who experienced the loss of a close friend who he used to play against. This explains the different ways people deal with loss based on personal experience and emotions, phenomena can be perceived differently from person to person. In this case, Geri is an old man who probably accepted the fate of his friend (who's most likely to be of his age) and decided to play against himself to amuse himself due to the absence  another partner .  It is clear that the emotions and reactions of this character are very different from the Old woman from "Drawer of memories".
