    The film opens with a simple life immersed in television and the demise of human beings. Sadness escapes in the loose peace, covering every particle that has been dyed by time, and romantic notes drift in it, accidentally colliding, like ringing a string of wind chimes. . Yet colors and sounds can conceal youthfulness, just as wisdom and learning reverse judgment. Mildness is the bluntest sarcasm and the harshest accusation. But the beauty nourished by the imagination is equally profound and...

    It is always said that stupid people have stupid blessings. Chance is so simple that it makes the world's imagination too complicated, and it will be very moving to see it...

    Allegorical satirical comedy. 7 points, the ending is very pointy, "Lingbo Weibu" is a metaphor for Ches's sainthood, so I have not talked about why Chess hid in the old man's house for the first half of his life, but it is reasonable, it is buried for the end. Foreshadowing. But I am still dissatisfied with the consistency of Chase's behavior and attitude, which makes all the characters look like the jumping clown around him, and he never moves; especially kissing on TV, doing yoga alone,...

    The first ten minutes, tense, completely stunned, Peter Sellers, a lot of people have souls. Back to the main road goods drop in price. The end picked up a...

    At first you will feel bored, then you will find it ridiculous, then you will feel sneer, and then your brain will have a flash of inspiration and can't help but praise your listening comprehension of the soundtrack...

    The feeling is very deep, and many times it is indeed like the protagonist. You don't show off the mountains and dew, but instead make others think that you are very shrewd. I thought it was a comedy show, but the ending was unpredictable. The funniest thing is the black aunt: "As long as you are white, you can become anyone you...

    7.9 It's an absurd comedy, but it's flat and steady. It's not as good as the imaginary words, but it has an unusual charm at the end. He can walk on water because he doesn't know that he can't walk on water, and everyone else knows it, too well....

    This is a comedy~

    It's a comedy - but it's not the kind that floods the afterlife.
    This movie is a different kind of story than Gogol's envoy.
    I in Gogol would call it an allegory, and this film I would prefer to call it a miracle.
    The film uses a lot of references and metaphors. Of course, I'm not just talking...

    human alienation

    When watching movies, I like to gain some new knowledge and new ideas. Please point out the following puzzles.

    I don't know much about politics, I can only watch the movie from the perspective of human nature.
    The first half is the playful orchestral music that often appears in American movies....

Being There quotes

  • President "Bobby": Mr. Gardner, do you agree with Ben, or do you think that we can stimulate growth through temporary incentives?

    [Long pause]

    Chance the Gardener: As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden.

    President "Bobby": In the garden.

    Chance the Gardener: Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again.

    President "Bobby": Spring and summer.

    Chance the Gardener: Yes.

    President "Bobby": Then fall and winter.

    Chance the Gardener: Yes.

    Benjamin Rand: I think what our insightful young friend is saying is that we welcome the inevitable seasons of nature, but we're upset by the seasons of our economy.

    Chance the Gardener: Yes! There will be growth in the spring!

    Benjamin Rand: Hmm!

    Chance the Gardener: Hmm!

    President "Bobby": Hm. Well, Mr. Gardner, I must admit that is one of the most refreshing and optimistic statements I've heard in a very, very long time.

    [Benjamin Rand applauds]

    President "Bobby": I admire your good, solid sense. That's precisely what we lack on Capitol Hill.

  • Ron Steigler: Mr. Gardner, uh, my editors and I have been wondering if you would consider writing a book for us, something about your um, political philosophy, what do you say?

    Chance the Gardener: I can't write.

    Ron Steigler: Heh, heh, of course not, who can nowadays? Listen, I have trouble writing a postcard to my children. Look uhh, we can give you a six figure advance, I'll provide you with the very best ghost-writer, proof-readers...

    Chance the Gardener: I can't read.

    Ron Steigler: Of course you can't! No one has the time! We, we glance at things, we watch television...

    Chance the Gardener: I like to watch TV.

    Ron Steigler: Oh, oh, oh sure you do. No one reads!
