Review of Being There (2011) by Lindsay Elizabeth M — 11 Sep 2008

This film was very enjoyable. Enter an autistic gardener (Chance) who had been working for a man who died, making the gardener leave the house he had been working and living at for his whole life. Chance leaves the home for the first time and embarks on a journey that will bring him eye to eye with the president, as his ramblings are mistaken for profound statements.

I liked it because Chance is a really simple man of few words. When he speaks throughout the film, it is either a very simple statement, a television inspired quotation or a mimicking of other people. If you liked Rain Man or Forrest Gump, you should seek this one out, too.
