This movie is definitely on my all time favourites list. Seen it many times. I get emotional just watching this trailer. My favourite scene is in the diner when they plug in the juke-box and the girls can't help tapping their foot to Buddy Holly's, Rave On. Then there's the scene when William H. Macy says, "Honey I'm home." and there's no one home. Or the scene when Reese says, "You can pin me any time." But it's the theme of the movie that has me watching it again and again. GREAT MOVIE!
DONT READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DO NOT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READING THIS SO DUNT STOP. THIS IS SO SCARY. PUT THIS ON AT LEAST 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ONTHE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY
@ChocoSyrupOnMyAbs Because she could attend college there, and she would continue helping them to get more "normal". I've seen a FAQ in which they state a week there means half an hour in the real world, so after those years, it'd be like she was out for the weekend only.
@zombiefan011 So we should accept murder, rape and robbery and not condemn those actions as well? Because I'm sure not all people consider those things "unpleasant", but actually think these things are what makes life fun.
@LoveCowboyBoots It's like the sixties in Australia. Why before 1967 our indigenous were not even counted in the census, they were for all intents considered non persons.
@candyapplecarnage the whole point was that everyone was the same. as soon as there were 'colored' people, ppl didnt like it. in the movie, it was taken litterally. but in real life, we say colored people instead of black people. back then, they didnt like change. and black people were seen as different because of their skin. it wasnt wat they were used to. therefore, u can kinda link the colored people in the movie to black people, or people of any different race
i dont get it, does at the end the mother finds out that there from the real world and the father find out his wife's cheating on him with the soda shop owner and does the real world mother find out her daughter's missing?
wow some scenes are inappropriate lol well for that era i wish we still lived in that era there was so much more respect every young lady were so conservative id would love for those values and principles to come back
@marielacandie much more respect?? ya, there was so much more respect for blacks, women, and homosexuals. they were so open minded then!!! -.- respect can be looked at both ways. women being conservative can be looked as respecting themselves or not embrasing their beauty, therefore not respecting themselves. it depends how far you take it. but honestly, theres as much respect as there was then, depending on how u look at it.
@uwishuwereme123ish when you look at the televsion vary rarely would you see women in bikinis in commercial thats what im talking that kind of respect were women totally covered themselves im not sayiny they might not have flaws but still i wish i would have lived in that era
@marielacandie You have no idea how life really was back then besides what you see on tv. Most older folks say they wish they could go back to "simpler times", because most of them were only children at the time. They had nothing to worry about. However, as black woman, I could never go back to such a time. Life was fucked up if you weren't a straight white male. Life was much more conservative back then, but don't act like it was problem free. Women still had sex, modesty or not.
@pokefreak313 well, what grade are you in, because if your in highschool about now one scene may be fine, but if your in anything lower on of the scenes they would've skipped
Some people still live in black and white. I remember watching it with a friend of mine. When the mother masturbates in the tub, she hadn't a clue what on earth the woman was doing. :(
i just saw this movie at school and at first i was expecting it to be a terrible cheesy movie, but it turned out to be one of the most underrated movies ive ever seen
@thedudude220 the women too. now they're fat and chubby with attitude. the cute and fit ones are all hoes going to nightclubs and fucking drunk only date fools with money. some so desperate enough for money end up in porno and bangbros. they dont cook, we gotta order in. fucken women....all sluts
This was actually a really good movie, take it from me, a 15 year old in High School
I watched this in Language Arts class and I thought it would be really boring cus it was in black and white...But then afterwards, I found it to be really interesting and exciting... xD
This movie was really inspired and had a lot of truth in it. Search Truth Contest in google and click on the first result. Read The Present on the homepage.
You can rarely see the movie where every single character is likeable,even the "bad ones"....I've watched this like 6-7 times and I enjoyed it everytime....the whole point of the movie is perfect,that its not bad to be different and that we shoud try to avoid stereotypes....in amazing way they show us the change in people's minds..beautiful story,actors too,idea couldnt be better and of course 50s..how can u not love 50s?:) one of my favorite movies of all time definitely :) its a MUST :)
@tatjana1707 I really struggle to see why people seem to think that this is a good movie. The acting is seriously weak and the storyline full of holes. Not that it mattered seeing as the movie was clearly made to deliver messages. Although its got me stumped as to what the messages really were other than portraying unprotected teenage sex as a good thing. Plus people seem to think that its about racism. If that's what its meant to be about then its clear Gary Ross has no idea what racism is.
I like it cause it has a different story,something unseen.....I dont see any hole in the storyline...what hole(s) do u see?I dont think its about racism,it's about ( I mean how i think it is ) being able to be yourself no matter what anyone else wants u to be,its about runnig from stereotypes and just trying to be different in a good way...its boring to be PERFECT or like anyone else...there's no beauty in it...but ok,u dont have to like pleasantville,i LOVEEEEEEE it :)
oh and maybe people think its about racism cause u have some situations that will lead u to think that ( like when they wrote on the doors of some store : No entrance for people in color ( smth like that ) or when they forbid every color except gray,black and white )....and that's all...nothing more is about racism...i mean i didint see it that way,maybe some people see it differently
@JAKEISONFIREEE I think you're missing the point. It's not saying that unprotected sex is a good thing, but that exploring new things and experiences makes us more 3-dimensional, whether it be the hate displayed by that Committee guy or reading a novel for the first time ever. I don't think racism was the main message, but I do think it had some small nods to it. Also, I didn't see any plot holes, so do enlighten me on that one. :)
@HikariBun Enlighten you I will. Who were the basketball team playing against? Why did they have a jail cell? Not wanting to get too picky though. The bit that I don't get is why they should have changed. If they were all happy and enjoyed what they were doing which they clearly did then why mess with it? The town wasn't called Pleasantville for nothin.
@JAKEISONFIREEE At first Jennifer messed with it because she was wild and wanted to shake things up, but then she continued because she noticed her friends really liked the change. David never wanted to change things, but the people closest to him wanted the change so at the end he ended up supporting them. The young people accepted the change because as happy as they were before the changes they were even happier after, simple as that.
@andyrp988 Pretty clear things weren't better afterwards hence the short scene at the start of the film where the teachers are talking about AIDS, global warming and the poor state of the economy. Added to that is the bit at the end when his mum is super cut. Didn't turn out to well ey.
@JAKEISONFIREEE The cell appears because as the changes happens, things appropriate with those changes start to appear in the town (Kids start getting wild - A cell appears). As far as the Basketball team goes, I think that's a joke. In Sitcoms, we usually never get to see the town where the rival team comes from, so to the people of Pleasantville it doesn't even exist, they just appear at random.
Amazing Film, I don't intend to cause polemic but I believe Pleasantville succeeds where Blue Velvet (1986) fails. Blue Velvet distances itself with its satire of 1950s caricatures. Pleasantville uses these caricatures to explore themes of sociological change and at the end of the film these caricatures are not caricatures but human beings who have discovered their identity.
One of the best movies I've ever seen, and I love they're song that they have, real rain, at 1:33. It's a shame not too many people have seen this, they're really missing out :)
sorry i'm going to be 'that guy' this movie shows a victory of liberalism over conservatism (and the mayor glenn beck) don't let the tea party take us back to un-pleaseantville
@oddjob29 typical emotional response. anything racist or bad is automatically associated with only conservatism. if i had to interpret it politically i'd say its mor like a victory of libertarianism over a polarizing pseudo 2 party system. challenge ur beliefs n think outside the box cuz the liberals n conservatives r pretty much the same. neither side is lookin out for our best interest
everybody on the planet should sit down on the longest coach ever created in the longest living room ever created, and just watch this movie. world peace would be guarenteed
what a beautiful movie. this is one of my all-time favorites. so much emotion went into making this and i think it deserved more recognition for the brilliance of the meanings behind the surface of this movie. destined to be a classic, this is truly touching.
This reminds me of how Charlotte, NC is! LOL. The only difference is that there is no real life Reese Witherspoon that wants the change, and I see a lot more pronounced looks like William H. Macy get's when he's not to thrilled about things.
This is a very good movie. Kind of reminds me of Islamic Republic of Iran (Dictatorship) . They stop you from joy and happiness therefore they take away your colour! Thumbs up if you agree.
@DrAvesta Yeah, it just reminds me obviously of Adam and Eve! [The rose and the apple!] and theres references to nazi's/jews when they ruin the shop.. and of course racism with the 'coloured people'.
I've been wondering what that song is, since it turns up everywhere. It's almost as ubiquitous as the themes from Requiem for a Dream and Far and Away.
@AshCosgrove woow only 55 agreed, but earth is contained with 6,6 billion ppl . 6 600 000 000 -55 hmmm i think more ppl hate it. ok it was just a joke
i love this movie my favorite i just got it on dvd im about to watch it just a note the mom in the movie played the mom of the girl from the movie the notebook
ah i had to study this film at school - good movie, but boring as hell to write an essay on how "Mr Johnson reacts to all the changes in Pleasantville" :S
this film is truly amazing

sorry i'm going to be 'that guy' this movie shows a victory of liberalism over conservatism (and the mayor glenn beck) don't let the tea party take us back to un-pleaseantville
oddjob29 1 year ago
@oddjob29 typical emotional response. anything racist or bad is automatically associated with only conservatism. if i had to interpret it politically i'd say its mor like a victory of libertarianism over a polarizing pseudo 2 party system. challenge ur beliefs n think outside the box cuz the liberals n conservatives r pretty much the same. neither side is lookin out for our best interest

everybody on the planet should sit down on the longest coach ever created in the longest living room ever created, and just watch this movie. world peace would be guarenteed

what a beautiful movie. this is one of my all-time favorites. so much emotion went into making this and i think it deserved more recognition for the brilliance of the meanings behind the surface of this movie. destined to be a classic, this is truly touching.

This reminds me of how Charlotte, NC is! LOL. The only difference is that there is no real life Reese Witherspoon that wants the change, and I see a lot more pronounced looks like William H. Macy get's when he's not to thrilled about things.

This is a very good movie. Kind of reminds me of Islamic Republic of Iran (Dictatorship) . They stop you from joy and happiness therefore they take away your colour! Thumbs up if you agree.

@DrAvesta Yeah, it just reminds me obviously of Adam and Eve! [The rose and the apple!] and theres references to nazi's/jews when they ruin the shop.. and of course racism with the 'coloured people'.

I've been wondering what that song is, since it turns up everywhere. It's almost as ubiquitous as the themes from Requiem for a Dream and Far and Away.

it wasnt perfect to begin with. it was just happy. the perfect world is the world where good and evil can exist. in essence, they made it perfect.
go read Beowulf or 1984.
