Being There (1980). After the death of his employer forces him out of the only home he’s ever known, a simpleminded, sheltered gardener becomes an unlikely trusted advisor to a powerful tycoon and an insider in Washington politics.
It’s not often easy to balance innocence and cynicism, and certainly not easy to do it with this level of charm. I don’t know if I liked this movie exactly, but I really appreciated what it did and the deceptively nuanced depiction it offered of how somebody can be corrupted by a world they don’t know how to be a part of. 7.5/10.
“The Hollywood roles I did were boring: I was soon fed up with them. It’s true they gave me a world-wide reputation I could trade on, but they also typed me as a one-dimensional non-serious actor.”—Melvyn Douglas(1901-1981)
