Synopsis

Geeky teenager David and his popular twin sister, Jennifer, get sucked into the black-and-white world of a 1950s TV sitcom called "Pleasantville," and find a world where everything is peachy keen all the time. But when Jennifer's modern attitude disrupts Pleasantville's peaceful but boring routine, she literally brings color into its life.

Pleasantville is a visual treat ❤ But this is not the film's only merit. Pleasantville has a stellar cast: talented Tobey Maguire and gorgeous Reese Witherspoon, charming Joan Allen and charismatic William H. Macy, touching Jeff Daniels and even handsome Paul Walker in his small role. It is a sweet, multi-layered and highly metaphorical film with so many ideas which can interpreted in so many ways (e.g. anti-utopie, manifest against repression; ode to equality and freedom of expression). However, if wrongly interpreted the film might also be viewed as a propaganda of sex, profanity, etc. The film aged very well and made me think a lot, especially in terms of Tobey's career. Overall, I recommend Pleasantville to those of you who like Truman Show, Interstate 60, Big Fish and other similar movies.
