The characters in the film represent chess pieces
The scene where the girl is comparing all the characters to chess pieces. Was this suppose to connect some bigger idea or was it just a random observation thrown in?
shareI think it uses chess pieces to symbolize the robotic nature of humans. This same thought crops up a few times, for example when Papageorge is looking for his box of money, and he keeps looking in the same places over & over, stuck in an 'infinite loop'. The chess dream shows certain people stuck in their peculiar patterns (like one guy moving diagonally, another guy protecting his queen, etc). Always predictable, as if humans are essentially no more than computer programs themselves.
One thing I didn't get about the dream was when Peter starts asking her if anyone in her dream teleported like a knight or if, when 2 people met, did anyone disappear. She said no. He was like, um ok, see you later. It was probably just a funny way to end the scene (I got a good laugh), but maybe it had deeper significance.
Knights basically teleport during chess.... and when two chess pieces meet one of them is taken (so it would disappear).
