Pleasantville (1998) - A Quite Pleasant Film!
from Live from the Humble Theater
Pleasantville (1998) follows two modern-day teenagers, David and his sister Jennifer, who are magically transported into a 1950s black-and-white TV show called Pleasantville. As they interact with the town’s picture-perfect, rule-bound residents, their presence slowly disrupts the status quo. Color begins to spread through the once monochrome world, symbolizing change, self-expression, and awakening. As people begin to question societal norms, the story becomes a powerful metaphor for transformation and freedom.We discuss the themes of the film and give our personal ratings, as usual!Intro audio thanks to Classic Trailers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSDm62Hmbf4Poster image from: https://displate.com/displate/686565
