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.

    Hal ashby's films are far beyond worth seeing. They are some of the most wonderful films ever made. Beautiful shots and great music. Did Forrest Gump copy its concept?

    Peter Sellers has great acting skills. The movie is ironic. People who doubt the protagonist’s true identity end up thinking that the protagonist is an expert under group thinking. Not Hollywood garbage, this is the charm of American movies
