One of the most memorable movie moments that ever come to mind is a scene from the movie Being There, 1979 with the great Peter Sellers. The only references that his character, Chance Gardner, ever makes is to gardening and still the usefulness/placement of his comments seem relevant. The development of the relationship between these abstract remarks and current events as presented by the media in general creates a persona very prophetic, even like a messiah. Sitting on the couch on a cold fall Saturday afternoon, thinking about the meaning of life and how to go through it without expertise was an enthralling contemplation. Chance Gardener, a character from a novel written by Kosinski, 1971, provided inspiration from the silver screen, even decades after the famous leading man passed away. In those final scenes, where nothing seemed to come together, appeared an epiphany. The moment where everything seemed to be tied together only tangentially, brought every thought into a single moment that can only be summed up by the Title. Something has to be said for great movies like this and to learn more visit www.petersellers.com .
