I love this picture of Brandon. It minds me of the movie "BEING THERE" starring Peter Sellers, as Chance, a simple gardener, has never left residence until his employer dies. His simple TV-informed utterances are mistaken for profundity when he's taken in by "Shirley MacLaine", who rescues him from a slight car accident and takes him home to their wealthy and influential estate for recovery.
At the end of the movie, we see Chance walk out to tend to a sickly plant in the pond, after dipping his umbrella into the water at least 3 feet down, he walks upon the water, while the eulogy of his "rescuer-now-friend" is being read in the background, we hear his last words:
LIFE IS A STATE OF MIND
PS: This was Peter Sellers last movie before he died in a London hospital just after midnight on 24 July 1980, aged 54.
