``Being There'' legendary comedian Peter Sellers etched into his masterpiece

A collection of shocking bloopers with special meaning

For this reason, Sellers was disappointed that the film was nominated for an Oscar for the second time and did not win. He apparently felt that the reason for this was the long outtakes or bloopers that were played at the end of the movie. The NG scene, which lasts three and a half minutes, features Being There lying on a bed in Benjamin's mansion to examine his injuries, and speaking to a black doctor beside him. A scene was filmed in which he repeated a line in which he had a Being There to lie down, but Sellers ended up bursting into speech so many times that it didn't turn into a play. Sellers can't hold back his laughter when he hears the word ``honky,'' which is a derogatory term for white people, and his co-stars burst into laughter when they see him. Peter Sellers, known for his poker face, probably laughs harder in this blooper reel than in any of his other works.

By the time the VHS version of the film became available for rental, Sellers was no longer alive (he passed away on July 24, 1980, at the young age of 54), and for many fans, the bloopers were a reference to Sellers' death. It was a special gift that reminded me of. The blooper collection, which was rare at the time, strangely left a legacy in the form of footage of the lead actor's peaceful departure and the humanity exuded by the rare comedian Peter Sellers.

From ``Being There'' and Peter Sellers' short life, we can get a sense that actors and humans can sometimes heal people's hearts in unexpected ways.
