Holy crap, is that it?

I'm 99.9% sure it's "Being There" after he dropped the hint about the name, plus the TV stuff.

Being There!!!


Simple man of the earth becomes advisor to kings.


A simpleton gardener comments on gardening and the weather. People take it as profound advice an commentary on politics, economics, and life.

A chance meeting changes the path of many.

Chance the gardener is hit by a car (chance meeting with Chance) and mistaken to be a wise, rich man.

Sometimes it seems like the main character could walk on water.



Everything has its season.

President "Bobby": Mr. Gardner, do you agree with Ben, or do you think that we can stimulate growth through temporary incentives?
[Long pause]
Chance the Gardener: As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden.
President "Bobby": In the garden.
Chance the Gardener: Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again.
President "Bobby": Spring and summer.
Chance the Gardener: Yes.
President "Bobby": Then fall and winter.
Chance the Gardener: Yes.
Benjamin Rand: I think what our insightful young friend is saying is that we welcome the inevitable seasons of nature, but we're upset by the seasons of our economy.
Chance the Gardener: Yes! There will be growth in the spring!
Benjamin Rand: Hmm!
Chance the Gardener: Hmm!
President "Bobby": Hm. Well, Mr. Gardner, I must admit that is one of the most refreshing and optimistic statements I've heard in a very, very long time.

President "Bobby": I admire your good, solid sense. That's precisely what we lack on Capitol Hill.

[b]You can learn a lot by watching television.

Other than gardening, his knowledge is derived entirely from what he sees on television.

Getting there is a large part, but not all, of the fun.


Tagline: "Getting there is half the fun. Being There is all of it."

The main character can neither read nor write.

Ron Steigler: Mr. Gardner, uh, my editors and I have been wondering if you would consider writing a book for us, something about your um, political philosophy, what do you say?
Chance the Gardener: I can't write.
Ron Steigler: Heh, heh, of course not, who can nowadays? Listen, I have trouble writing a postcard to my children. Look uhh, we can give you a six figure advance, I'll provide you with the very best ghost-writer, proof-readers...
Chance the Gardener: I can't read.
Ron Steigler: Of course you can't! No one has the time! We, we glance at things, we watch television...
Chance the Gardener: I like to watch TV.
Ron Steigler: Oh, oh, oh sure you do. No one reads!

He is not gay, but he does like to watch.

Dennis Watson: You know, I've never met anyone like you in Washington before.
Chance the Gardener: Yes, I've been here all my life.
Dennis Watson: Really? And uh, where have you been all MY life?
[laughs]
Dennis Watson: Ah, tell me, Mr. Gardner... have you ever had sex with a man?
Chance the Gardener: No... I don't think so.
Dennis Watson: We could go upstairs right now.
Chance the Gardener: Is there a TV upstairs? I like to watch.
Dennis Watson: You like to uh, watch?
Chance the Gardener: Yes.
Dennis Watson: You wait right here. I'll go get Warren!
