The best gag is when Chance is dusting the ancient automobile with a feather duster for a good duration, and slowly as the camera pans down we get a fraction-of-a-second reveal of the fact that all the tires on the car are completely flat. You'd miss it if you blinked, but that makes it all the funnier!

'He's as featureless as a mirror.' And it comes out, by the end of the film, that Chance's wealthy friend Ben Rand (portrayed by Melvyn Douglas) was a manufacturer of mirrors.

What I love about this movie is the that the lack of gags is almost a gag unto itself. It's such a perfect comedy premise, that's played completely and utterly straight, almost to the point of frustration. ...Until the end, when we're treated to the single absurdist moment in the entire movie. And it's just wonderful.

Kubrick's use of this piece (in its entirety) for this scene is... listen, I'm no cinemaphiliac or whatever, but this scene strikes me as an exceptional work of art. My mom listened to this record when I was a child in the early 1970s. I stole that record from my mom when she booted me out of the house on my 18th birthday. I'm 58 years old now, and I swear to God that album is less than 4 feet away from where I sit now. I taught myself to play guitar listening to that record over, and over, and over again 40 years ago. John Tropea's guitar parts are as cool and tasty as it gets.

A superb characterization by Sellers! Not a false note in a performance that explored a life led in seclusion transplanted to the real world. My favorite line is an attendant taking Chance in the elevator. He looks around and says, " This is a very small room. " This causes a laugh from the attendant but from Chance's point of view, it's merely an observation. That is the paradox of Chance's world and the real one.
@youejtube7692 Жыл бұрын
I like your analysis. I've been watching several videos by different people, analysing this wonderful film and haven't seen anyone in the videos or comments mentioning the artist Rene Magritte and his painting of the man (himself) in a bowler hat. Whenever I see the initial shots of Chance walking through the streets in his hat and coat I am always reminded of Magritte. I'm not sure of the significance but feel this can't just be a coincidence. I think it may be something to do with Magritte's bowler-hat-man representing the anonymous middle-class 'everyman' in the paintings, perhaps how he thought of himself too? Likewise, Chance represents a blank canvas for others to paint on their own projected version of his personality and character traits and even life story. And by all accounts, this is indeed how Peter Sellers thought of himself too - without a particular personality, able to portray/inhabit any personality given to him by authors, directors, the audience or his own imagination. Edit: Oh I just discovered that the painting by Magritte of man in a bowler hat with an apple in front of his face is called 'Son of Man' - so there is definitely a correlation here with Chance representing 'Adam' the original man and of course, there is Eve, who tries to tempt him with knowledge of carnal lust and desire, that he just does not have. He is just 'being there' while she is doing all the doing.

"..in the era of Reagan.." Tipping our political leanings, are we? _Being There_ was released in 1979 when Carter was in office. The campaign for the presidency took place in 1980 before Reagan was even nominated. Except for his brief flirtation during the 1976 primary season, he had not burst into upon the national scene. If anything, the movie could be seen as a lampoon of the hick peanut farmer from Georgia.

Actually, it's in relation to the fact that the film deals heavily with the philosophy of Heidegger and his French students of Sartre and Camus that made up existentialism as an extension of Heidegger. One of Heidegger's main themes is that of Da-Sein, usually translated literally as "Being There" (which is also where the French "existentialism" label originally derives from) in English. The most obvious clues are in the orbitruary speech heard off-camera at the end of the film, which reads pretty much like a tract on Heidegger's idealist philosophy of the spirit or mind reigning supreme over matter, which is why Chance can walk on water by sheer will. Also notice the endless shot of the coffin slowly, endlessly being carried towards the grave or mausoleum, which echoes Heidegger's conviction that life is a long, extended journey towards death, basically. The notion of chance or "the absurd" is a main theme in existentialism based upon Heidegger, which is why the film is "a story of Chance", as the trailer has it, and it's also why Chauncey Gardner is made up to look a lot like the people in Rene Magritte's absurd surrealist paintings (you know, the guy with a floating apple famously obscuring his face).
