I have not watched this movie in over twenty years. I always enjoyed Peter Sellers. The incredible thing after watching this movie on Netflix was the powerful message that as humans we create an alternative reality in our politics. The simplicity of Chauncy the Gardner was ignored on its obvious face value, He was at a Party at the Russian ambassador, and it was immediately based on his clothing and mannerism implied he could speak Russian and before the end of the Party, people were talking about him speaking eight languages.
I think of the Illusion of Donald Trump. How a person on the obvious face value is a sociopath and very limited in talent, intelligence, and temper who has created this illusion that he had wealth, that he was intelligent, that he understood complex issues, and that he was highly successful. Donald Trump is Chauncy the Gardner. God help us. Chauncy's reality was a remote control of the tv, and President Trump's is a twitter account. So it goes.
