It's kind of like reversing the stereotypical anti-prejudice phrase "i am color-blind." Being blind to colour robs you of seeing how glorious the world is. I say again: celebrate our differences!

I find Pleasantville more a metaphor for today's society. I feel the writer sees the world pushing towards such a society, where everything is just so, and pleasant, and ignoring what is happening to keep this blind existance going. But the people who can't stay blind are forced to fight for their vision of the world, and their old ways are pushed aside for the new, in a good way. Great film. Needs to be experienced.

I did. I think that is the level of brilliance in this film that is lost on most of those who saw it.

yea, it has quite a lot of inapporpriate images. But besides that, it really has a deep meaning that reminds me about the Garden of Eden and the Fall! This film will be my top favorite if those parts can be erased. Anyway, great movie!

i think alot of your points regarding this film are very valid, it's a surprisingly deep commentary on the contrast between conformity and individuality in society; but just one thing...why is your screenname "Superman1938"?

Pleasantville is an awesome movie and I agree that that what the movie's metaphor was about. Before I only watched the movie because of the effects with the colors. I loved how they just stood out but then I got a little bit older and found the real meaning of the film and realized that it's one of my favorites. :D
