Just look at this painting as some introduction to the whole movie:
and Voltaire's "
Il faut cultiver notre jardin" (We should cultivate our garden).
It's just one of these films that have an infinite possibility of analysis. From "Eve" to the Garden of Paradise. To the literal garden, and the red apple he shines on his jacket. From the children of television, with Sesame Street (beginning 1969), which is shown 5 minutes into the movie, to the naïvety that is just another way to look into the world without all the prejudices. And just, the illusion, that all the cinema and television are creating, by calling it "reality".
It's just an endless world of possibilities. And that blank spot that is Chance, is exactly what this character is all about. A bit like Peter Sellers himself, that found himself, naked of his character, as nothing.
