Description
Geeky teenager David and his popular twin sister, Jennifer, get sucked into the black-and-white world of a 1950s TV sitcom called “Pleasantville,” and find a world where everything is peachy keen all the time. But when Jennifer’s modern attitude disrupts Pleasantville’s peaceful but boring routine, she literally brings color into its life.
Comments
Hollywood hates everything you love most. I've heard this movie described as 'satanic'. I guess I can see why. It directly attacks rightist ideals in terms of a peaceful, orderly society versus a licentious, chaotic one. OTOH it is well made, and fairly entertaining in parts. I do feel it's worth seein once, but personally I'll never re-watch. We've seen how this goes.
