Being There is a 1979 American comedy-drama film directed by Hal Ashby. Adapted from the 1970 novella by Jerzy Kosiński, the screenplay was written by Kosinski and the uncredited Robert C. Jones. The film stars Peter Sellers, Shirley MacLaine, Melvyn Douglas, Jack Warden, Richard A. Dysart, and Richard Basehart.
Douglas won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and Sellers was nominated for Best Actor. The screenplay won the British Academy Film Award for Best Screenplay and the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Comedy Adapted from Another Medium. It was also nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay.
The making of the film is portrayed in The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, a biographical film of Sellers' life. In 2015, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, finding it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Chance (Peter Sellers) is a middle-aged man who lives in the townhouse of an old, wealthy man in Washington, D.C. He is simple-minded and has lived there his whole life, tending the garden. Other than gardening, his knowledge is derived entirely from what he sees on television. When his benefactor dies, Chance naively says to the estate attorney that he has no claim against the estate, and is ordered to move out. Thus he discovers the outside world for the first time.

What would happen if the American public got the leader it deserved? Peter Sellers plays an innocent and illiterate gardener who ends up the most influential man in Washington, D.C.--simply by Being There. Gentle and slow-witted Chance (Sellers) tends a garden on a palatial estate and knows nothing of the outside world except what he sees watching television. Then a limousine hits him, and everything changes. Elevated to celebrity status by the limousine's powerful passenger, Eve Rand (Shirley MacLaine), Chance charms everyone, including the President of the United States (Jack Warden). Can his simple but wise gardening metaphors solve the country's complex problems? Chance helps peace grow and flourish in this comic, cautionary fable about the power of simplicity.

คำอธิบาย. The only entertainment.
When the road seems too long
And I know where I belong
On the south road
When grief seems to set in
It's the love that I find
But I just don't have the time
It's a wish to be near you
It's being there
Ohh when I want to be there
For ya baby yeah yeah
Be there for you
All for you
I think of you
When I know
It's gettin' harder and harder
To let go
What was once
Only mine yesterday
You were my love
And my friend
You held on
To the very end
It's the pain and the loss
Of not being there
Ohh when I want to be there
For ya baby yeah whoooh
Be there for you
All for you baby
Oh when I wanna be there
For ya baby yeah whoaoh
Be there for you
All for you
It's a sad song that I sing
But I'll never let it bring
A bring me down
And bring my heart lower too
It's the leaves on the trees
It's a south wind
That's stirring me
It's just the season
A sensation of being there
Oh when I wanna be there
For ya baby yeah whoaoh
Be there for you
All for you
