The original prototype

The simplest is often the wisest.

In the eyes of a simple person, everything is simple. Even if the way to get the source of information is television.


The ending of this movie is the best I have ever seen.

Thinking of the legend of Jesus walking on the water, thinking that Mr. Gardener might fall into the depths of the lake in order to save the dead tree.

That would be the loss and loss of a world.


Or, if everything goes well, he can become president. Can a government (or the world) led by wise and foolish people lead mankind to enjoy the ultimate happiness?

I don't think so.

It is not the pessimistic tendency of nature, but among the many human beings, only Mr. Gardener is a truly natural person who lives in one moment after another. Those who follow him will see his beauty, but never understand him. .


He is the original prototype of mankind. Adam before eating the tree of good and evil.

Thinking has never been a blessed ability. Our cerebral cortex develops too fast and well, completely covering the brainstem, so worries and desires arise...


Mr. Gardener cannot fail, because he has no concept of failure; he cannot be unhappy either, because except He has no requirements for survival.


PS.

Regarding the title, there is nothing better than Being There. Because the best way to get to a place is "itself there." Just like the position where Beethoven struggled for a lifetime, Mozart was born. I am not referring to secular evaluation, but a kind of joy, a state of being one with nature.

In the East, they have a nice name called "Enlightenment".

    Full of political metaphors, I have seen the saddest comedy. Peter Sellers passed away in the second year after the movie was released.

Being There quotes

  • [upon walking out of an elevator]

    Chance the Gardener: That was a very small room.

  • Abraz: Bullshit. Who sent you here, boy? Did that chickenshit asshole Raphael send you, boy?

    Chance the Gardener: No. Mr. Thomas Franklin told me I must leave the old man's house. He's dead, you know.

    Abraz: Dead, my ass. You tell that asshole, if he got somethin' to tell me, to get his ass down here himself! You got that, boy?
