It is an interesting movie, however, I think there is some deep meaning of the theme, which is difficult to understand. I enjoyed the movie very much, because Chance knows very little about the outside world, but everything he said can be explained in another way, which all makes great sense. I have been thinking why the title of the film is "being there" and always "television" there, but I haven't got an acceptable answer for myself yet. I think the film satirizes the country's politics. I looked something up in the dictionary. It says that " in the Bible, the first woman, who lived in the Garden og Eden with Adam, the first man". Even if Eve acted as if she really wanted to make love with Chance, I still don't think Eve really loves Chance. Eve just thinks that Chance talks "well", so she "loves" him. When Chance said "I like to watch (TV)", Eve was sexually insulted, I think. However, Eve didn't even feel this way. In my opinion, it indicates how silly Eve is, and also the politics, because Eve's hunsband Ben is also fond of Chance too, and Ben's family symbolize the upper class who have the power of the politics.
Also, the real gardener Chance told us a lot of deep things simply from the real garden( although he didn't realise what he said has many deep meanings.) ; the reason why he was named Chance in this movie is because if there is still some innocence( because he was very innocent in the movie), the world could have a chance to be better.
I like the last line of the movie "Life is a state of mind." It means that we can create what ever we like in our limited life. Every one has to die; the problem is that how we enjoy our life. Maybe we don't need to worry too much. No one is perfect in this world. It seems easy, but difficult to do.
That was a very fascinating post you wrote, Xiaoyue! I enjoyed reading it, just as I always enjoy reading your writing. I agree about the last line of the movie. In many ways, we do create our own realities--both by thinking and by doing.
