	Pleasantville (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pleasantville is a New Line Cinema film first released in Canada on September 17, 1998 starring Tobey Maguire, Reese Witherspoon, William H. Macy, Joan Allen, and Jeff Daniels.
		Pleasantville is a fl and white 50’s sitcom (based on Father Knows Best or Leave It To Beaver) and David is an expert on every episode, but during the fight the remote control breaks and the TV can’t be turned on manually.
		Pleasantville also contains color-divided scenes (in the racist sense of the word 'color', referring to non-whites) that allude to the 1962 novel-based film To Kill a Mockingbird, which examines the conformist racial divisions in a small Alabama town in the 1930s.

	Pleasantville Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		With its white picket fences, wholesome family values, and stability, Pleasantville is a much more civilized alternative to the real world's economic upheaval, environmental turmoil, single-parent families, and bleak prospects for the future.
		And while the Pleasantville households are governed by traditional family values, women are not expected to be independent-- instead they are relegated to being contented by waiting on their husbands hand-and-foot.
		In addition, "Pleasantville" also becomes an examination of the incessant constant of change, and the strength often required to deal with the consequences of its wake.

	New Line Cinema - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One of the company's early successes was its distribution of the parodic 1936 anti-pot propaganda film Reefer Madness, which became a cult hit on American college campuses in the early 1970s.
		Creating an internet, cellphone and Ipod viral for the film's promotional campaign, New Line Cinema commissioned UK audio-visual artists Addictive TV to sample the film (both in audio and video) and create a short dance track with accompanying music video made entirely from both the audio and video samples.
		This was also the first time a movie had been promoted in such a way.

	Jesusfreakhideout.com "Pleasantville" Movie Review
		Pleasantville is the weirdest movie since The Truman Show (which i loved).
		The intent of the idea of the teenage promiscuity is unknown, but due to the explicit nature of such ideas, it is probably something you may have to interpret for yourself.
		Overall, the movie is pretty good, however, due to its questionable nature & sex-ridden plot, I couldn't give this film more than 2 stars.

	Apollo Movie Guide's Review of Pleasantville
		Pleasantville is a gentle yet pointed parable about America's preoccupation with the nostalgic idealisation of an earlier, more innocent time when men were men and women were doormats.
		Ross wrote and directed Pleasantville with the same charm he brought to these previous hits, but here he adds some scenes of social commentary that give this film an edge the others lacked.
		Pleasantville's last 15 minutes get bogged down in making the implicit message explicit, robbing the film of some of it's magic.

	PLEASANTVILLE movie review (with photos and clips where possible)
		They're in an idealized world without sex or violence, a town in which basketballs always go through the nets, bathrooms don't have toilets, platonic parents sleep in twin beds, sidewalks are spotless and the thermometer always reads 72 degrees.
		David eventually comes around when he realizes Pleasantville is also a world without art or even the beauty of a red rose.
		Pleasantville marks the directorial debut of Ross, though as the much-praised writer of Big and Dave, he knows his way around imaginative fables about switches in identity.

		The changes they cause in Pleasantville, and the unexpected consequences tothemselves, are highlighted through the use of color: the literally monochrome world of Pleasantville blossoms, in steps smalland large, into a rainbow of colors from the palettes of Titian, Monet, Gauguin, Renoir, and van Gogh.
		Color is introduced slowly, subtly, deliberately; at first it mayonly touch a single flower, or the tongue of a girl.
		The change in color is the primary visual effect used to accent thechanges to the people and the world they inhabit, changes which challenge the values and emphasis on continuity and conformity that many consider to be the hallmark of 1950s America.

	Pleasantville - Movie Script (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Maguire, an obsessive Pleasantville devotee, understands the need for not toppling the natural balance of things; Witherspoon, on the other hand, starts shaking the town up, most notably when she takes football stud Skip (Paul Walker) up to Lover's Lane for some modern-day fun and games.
		Filled with delightful and shrewd details about sitcom life (no toilets, no double beds, only two streets in the town), Pleasantville is a joy to watch, not only for its comedy but for the groundbreaking visual effects and astonishing production design as the town gradually transforms from crisp fl and white to glorious color.
		Ross does tip his hand a bit about halfway through the film, obscuring the movie's basic message of the unpredictability of life with overloaded and obvious symbolism, as the fl-and-white denizens of the town gang up on the "coloreds" and impose rules of conduct to keep their strait-laced town laced up.

		Pleasantville starts to become colorized, and its citizens discover the joys of Miles Davis music, risque books and avant-garde art.
		The town is a TV facsimile of the '50s, which means it's a world with no knowledge of sex, toilets or colors--but his jokes cut deep, eventually assailing the fascistic, racist undercurrents that would govern a "fl-and-white" town like Pleasantville.
		"Pleasantville" cleverly satirizes those who preach the virtues of rigid family values and conformity, but avoids controversy by wrapping its message up in a delightful and brilliant special effects-laden package.

		Although the atmosphere and buzz about the movie are cheery and lighthearted, Plesantville should not be mistaken for a no-thought movie.
		Not in recent memory has a movie carried such weight of theme into widescale distribution, and even if mass audiences fail to see the ingenuity of Ross' work, it is still a testament that his picture was considered worthy enough.
		It's not long before she sets the town of Pleasantville on end, and begins to teach the townspeople - in a quite unlikely way - what life is really like.
