White moves his pawn again, and the camera cuts back to the first Knight, this time in the afternoon, who stops to lift the visor on his helmet and take a look at his surroundings.īlack then moves a rook forward, symbolizing five Villagers building a Tower. Black looks worried, then he moves a knight forward, symbolizing four actual Knights galloping on a path.
The camera returns to White, who smiles contently at his opponent. This immediately reveals the game's symbolism: the camera subsequently cuts to a Knight trotting forward. White makes the first move that the camera sees: a pawn going one space forward. The music at this point is slow-paced and consists solely of a harp. The first scene is a room of two kings in the middle of a chess match, illuminated by a fireplace. The introduction to The Age of Kings is a cinematic lasting one minute and forty-six seconds.
