Lots of great comments this week on Being There. The students really seemed engaged by the film and novella, and by such questions as what the title means and what the film's final scene of Chance walking on water adds to the story. I think they were surprised to hear that the idea for the story may have been inspired by the early political career of Ronald Reagan. And I think they were amused by the outtakes that director Hal Ashby slapped onto the very end of the movie. Wish we had more time for discussion, but our film for the night, All About Eve, runs two hours and 38 minutes. At Camp Burnett, we like to stay on schedule.
