This movie is pure magic - the best of the magic of movie making. The movie magic transcends the film, filling you with a sense of awe and wonder. Chance walking on water at the end is sublime. Steeped in irony, the ultimate irony is that the most mature, thoughtful and insightful person is also the most simplistic. Like an onion, this movie has endless layers - layers of depth & irony. One of the finest movies I've ever seen.😉 Greatest closing line in a movie ever: "Life, is a state of mind."
When I started filming "Being There" (age 9), I was too small and too cold. It was a historically cold day in D.C. Hal Ashby stopped the camera. A bunch of adults swarmed around me. My mother and the casting director came running over. He sent everyone away except for my mother and the extras casting director. He said, "I don't want to discourage Matthew from pursuing future acting work." So he placed me within the original mini-monologue near the basketball court scene. They cut Peter's lines but kept me in it.
@@SalveRegina8 no. A criticism would talk about movie in some way. Not just that you don't get it. Loke I said, that says more about you. Maybe you should go watch a shootem up explosion movie. Not something that takes brain cells.
My all-time favorite film!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Never remove it. Life is a State of Mind. ❤
Thank you for this!

I don’t under why people enjoy this movie, other than if they need a good nap (at least until MacLaine does her disgusting yipping bit at the end).
That says something about you
@@paulhicks6667 it’s called a criticism.
