How else would you describe green that was so… green, that it leapt out at you and was just more green than green? Something that just WAS so much that it was more than just the colour, more real than real?

Obviously the characters knew of colours, the denial of colours, and banning of them later, by some characters was an over-reaction at the presence of these dangerous “new” colours. Like a lot of this movie, it didn’t deal with literal truths, but emotional ones.

It all seemed very clear to me, and made good emotive sense. Your lack of perception doesn’t mean I had a lack of attention.

I did not enjoy this film i found that it was weak and left obvious holes in the understanding of the viewer.
For example, you used the example of real green, but if the world was truly black and white, how would ANY citizen
of pleasatville be able to say that anything was real green. Obviously you are free to disagree with me buit next time you watch it perhaps pay a little closer attention.

I liked Pleasantville. We watched it in my English class and I didn’t see anything wrong with the movie. For instance, Mary Sue was a slut at the beginning, but she got better and after being in Pleasantville for awhile and she went to college. It’s a cool movie- I’d recomend it for teenagers.

[…] Don Knotts died today, aged just 81. I’m in the UK, so I primarily knew him from his 60’s movies. Especially Herbie. Later however Don was in one of my favourite films - Pleasantville. He seemed kind, funny, and gentle, in that way that can so easily seem creepy - but it didn’t, not with him. Rest in peace Don, and thank you. […]

I love this film too.

And I love what it says about you that you love it too.

And I have found a cheesy horrow movie to watch next Valentine’s Day with you and Miriam. Oh yes, it is cheesy. And it is horror.
