You can tell how much I was into the movie by this, I got so nervous when the rich man's wife started to love him and started to seduce him. If he gets involved with her in that way and gets caught, he should be kicked out of the house and the plot line of his life would start to decline! Also, I felt a pity to the woman since she desperately wants Chance, but he knows nothing about those kind of field and she must have felt so confused and a bit ashamed!

Personal Response to Being There
I really much enjoyed the movie, and it actually made me laugh out loud! I wouldn't have laughed much if it were not for Nathan, who kept paused the movie and explained the implying meaning. It was delightful to see this innocent guy becoming so famous and people starting to admire him, but on the other hand, it seemed to be nonsense that his status being surged without getting caught. He even talked with the Russian embassy and was considered that he could speak Russian, which he obviously can't, and he didn't get caught either.

Kia, I am so glad that you enjoyed the movie! It is one of my all-time favourites--perhaps my very favourite. I also worried for Chance when I saw the movie the first time, particularly when the doorman of the mansion thought he was going out and offered him a car to take to his destination. Fortunately, the doctor stopped him!
ReplyDeleteThe scene with the Russian ambassador is my favourite scene in the entire movie. I think we have all pretended to understand someone who was unintelligible to us, but the deeper meaning of the scene seems to be about how much more peaceful our world would be if people would just listen to each other. I don't think listening is always the answer, but I do think we need much more of it.
