Of course! 

But I jest that it was about the "real" thing.

I didn't say these were GOOD representations of enlightenment. I
listed some because they are so bad.

Again -- I was just listing "enlightenment" films. Not GOOD ones.

Another one: King and I. The King holds (at least publicly) that he is
the source of all wisdom. At least he becomes more tiny bit more real
and modest when dying and passing the wisdom on to his son. 

RE Being There -- it seems an odd choice if one is viewing it as a
good representation. Maybe its been too long since I have seen it, or
perhaps I missed something, but i remember it as a very funny SATIRE!.

It was making fun of "enlightenment" figures who spout wisdom that
seems no more profound than the mundane mutterings of a common
gardener. It was NOT saying that the Sellers character WAS enlightened
and this is how it is. Or did I miss something.


I am I think like you, not aware of any GOOD enlightenment films that
do the topic much justice.
