Being There

Chang Si (Peter Sellers), a simple old gardener. He has always lived in an old house in Washington, and has never left. His entire life is watching TV, and watching TV has become his only way to communicate with the outside world. With long-term accumulation, his entire thoughts, behaviors and worldview have been completely televised. However, his employer suddenly passed away, and Chance suddenly became nowhere to go, lonely and helpless. Facing the strange and fresh world, he suddenly became confused. After a sudden car accident, Chance actually became a guest of wealthy Washington businessman Eve (Shirley MacLaine) and Ben (Melvin Douglas). With the "extensive" knowledge he learned on TV, he was shocked by his skills and even became a think tank that politicians rely on.
The political satirical comedy "Rich is Coming", which is well-known in the film industry in the late 1970s, is the last work of the laughter Peter Sellers. The film won the best supporting actor at the 52nd Academy Awards in 1980 and was nominated for best actor, and was nominated for the Palme d'Or, the main competition unit of the 33rd Cannes Film Festival in 1980.

    The CIA and the FBI (and a bunch of political dignitaries) pinch each other, suspicious and self-righteous, and Peter's acting is the perfect example of what it means to be wise and foolish. The best comedy always makes people laugh and cry. Life is a state of mind!

    I think it's more of a political satire
