Being There

Recommended Posts

Recently saw the movie "Being There" with Peter Sellers. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078841/

 

Even though the movie was made in the late '70s, I felt the implications with respect to government and culture had amazing resonance today. Hilarious in parts, saddening in others, and mostly just insightful without being obvious.

 

I thought it was amazingly well done, and I question how many recently made movies are able to pull off subtle implications so well without being condescending.

 

Any thoughts?

Ahhh! I've wanted to see that movie for quite some time. Ever since I saw "Network" on TVOntario's Saturday Night at the Movies, actually - they had an interview section about both "Network" and "Being There" (there is no formal connection between both films, but both deal with popular media and communication, particularly television).

 

EDIT: Oh yeah, and my sig is a famous quote from "Network."
