Sometimes we want life to be static, predictable. Pleasantville shows why we don’t. Fantastic pic in every way. Wonderful re evils of racism
It'll leave you wanting more at the end.
Enjoyed it like the black and white theme and colour coming into it.
You may think your television set has been damaged but no, Tobey Maguires face really does look that way
This is good wholesome movie with a great family message. Good movie to watch with family and other loved ones.
I though this was going to be shallow or bland but it was great, I really enjoyed it, it had a lot of messages and I consider it to be deep
Timeless story that highlights the immutable spirit in humankind. I love watching each character come “into color”. Beautiful.
Underrated, it gives permission, if not encourages, to break the nuclear family mold in reason for the sake of culture/art and happiness.
The overt commentary on racism could have done with showing up a little earlier as it dragged a bit in the middle, but overall good
Unlike any other movie. Passion has the power to turn your life from black and white to color. Great actors, some at the start of their art.
