The movie "The Seventh Seal" written and directed by Ingmar Bergman, is a very peculiar movie. It reminds me of the twilight zone because it has a mysterious aspect of what is going to be played out through the course of the movie.
In the beginning, a knight is playing a game of chess with Death before it takes his life. The game carries on throughout the movie where the knight goes about his business while Death makes his move. Eventually Death becomes impatient and cheats the Knight by finding out his strategy.
The most profound part in this movie is when the Knight wants to know the meaning of Life. He thinks through Death he will be able to unlock the mysteries and have knowledge to understand the world around him. When Death comes to finish the last of the chess game, the Knight ask if Death with reveal secrets to him concerning life. Death responds with they have no knowledge but they are unknowing.
