In the last scene of "Being There," Peter Sellers - Chauncy Gardiner - Chance the gardener - walks on water. He walks onto a pond, stops, attempts to measure depth with his umbrella.
What was the director / playwright getting at?
Was the director / playwright indicating -
- Chauncy wasn't told he couldn't walk on water, so he did?
- Chauncy, with no documented birth, was a "type" of Jesus Christ (showing one or more but not all salient characteristics of Jesus)?
- all the events of the movie were a farce, really could not have happened, the joke is on the movie-viewer - since apart from Jesus no one can walk on water?
- or what?
This is not a question for the faint of thought. Again, if answering, please provide an authoritative source (a tactically wise thing to do if you want to get best answer of any set of answers).
