"Being There"

Being There

 I think Ben like most successful businessmen is clever, smart, intelligent and wise. For this characteristics his is respected by many powerful people, such as President. Chance's appearance in Ben's life changed him. Ben became more calmer and the fact of death does't scare him anymore. Ben found true friend whom he really needed this situation. What attract me more is Ben's wiseness; no matter of great love to Eve, he understands that she needs somebody else because he can't do his duty as husband. 

 Politic world is surrounded by lies, everyone try their best to gain profit for themselves. Politician speech is exsactly opposite to Chance's which we can see during the whole movie. They never say truth, especially if there is a problem, instead they say thousands needless words. Also we see government's power; whenever it is needed they can find information about anyone.

 "Life is a state of mind" originally saying "Happiness is a state of mind" which means, as I understand, you can build your happiness but in this case your life. It suggests that you can build your life as you wish it to be. Being away from influence of other peoples opinions, thoughts and believes.

 It is quite meaningful movie that shows in what world we live. Our lives are full of many obstacles, people surround themselves with lies and illusion. I liked this movie even though sometimes it was a bit hard to understand. It reveals truth in one man's story. However the final moment left me with the felling that only Saints or God can be truly pure and untouched.
