Here are some customer reviews of
Pleasantville (New Line Platinum Series)
: to watch a movie in black and white was coo
 original form. That is one of the many underlying premises of this fine film. The greatest accomplishment however is how this film so subtly addressed the paranoia, pettyness, ignorance, and limiting nature of Racism itself. Brilliantly done! The film promotes the value of free expression in it's many forms be they artistic, sexual, societal, intellectual... the list goes on and on. So philosophically and creatively I have to rate the film as one of the better films i've seen. But I can only give the film 4 stars because it is not the most entertaining of films. Despite credible performances from all the players the fabulous cinematography and imagery and of particular note the direction of the film is superb the film doesn't succeed in drawing you into the experience. With some movies you almost have the feeling like you are there, in the film, watching it as it happens. No such luck with this one. So it's definitely worth a look for enlightenment but not necessarily for entertainment.
I recently saw "Pleasantville" and I was amazed. It was original plot and everything was just simply amzing about it. I'm suprised that it wasen't nomintated for best original screenplay. This moive got terrible reviews but thsoe people are just dumb. Everybody should see this movie, it shows just how the real world is and how it should be. As I said before, I was dazzled at it's special effects, plot, and everything in between. The first day this movie comes out, I'm going to buy it. EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THIS MOVIE!
Freakin' ages ago I did a review on 'Pleasantville' saying that I was disappointed. I saw it again ages ago, and I came to the conclusion it was a great film. Pleasantville rarely mixes the joy of black and white and colour, it's story is funny, dramatic and heartbreaking and the acting is terrific. I totally recommend you see Pleasantville, your missing out on alot!
Pleasantville is a wonderful examination of the treat and reward of change. Within each of the characters you can experience the many emotional responses one can anticipate when the foundational structure of a belief system is challenged by something new. The interplay of black and white with color does a wonderful job of accentuating the experience of the new difference. This film can be viewed for the shear pleasure, or, for the lessons it offers as it delves into the psyche of each and every one of us.
