    Peter Sellers' farewell work, the old man used his own strength to support the whole film. This is a Sellers who has turned off the chatter mode, and Chance's honesty and Muna provide a lot of misplaced baggage for the film. And it's hard to imagine that the script of such an American bourgeois satirical comedy was actually written by Kosinski. This is completely two extremes from "painting...

    7.5/10. The title of being there directly points to a mechanism at the heart of the film: to put a person who deviates from the current society suddenly in an inopportune environment. The film is about linguistics and semiotics: the words "here" referenced to a gardener's work or a TV show are metaphorically interpreted to have different, grander meanings, and these languages ​​ultimately produce the gardener a Very absurd identity. This kind of dislocation is also the source of the comedy...

    There are always different interpretations at different levels. What the maid sees is a mentally handicapped person who cannot read and write. No matter how over-interpreted the celebrity politicians are, they will see his simple and sincere quality. Appreciate Ben's open-mindedness in fulfilling his love in the face of death, breaking the tycoon's paradigm of maintaining love with money, "I can imagine what kind of rumors the two of you will have", paving the way for her to be unfettered,...

    The gardener who has been watching TV in a small house all his life suddenly sees the big world. His thinking is still fixed at the stage of being very innocent and childish, but the intriguing high society people treat him as a master, and everyone is talking nonsense. Really ironic. However, the male protagonist's state also made me see myself being "poisoned" by TV hahaha. In the words of Brother Su, our family Feiliu is mentally...
