What about the earlier silent film era or the black and white era? Will love and life be more pure and beautiful? Beatles is not saying "Yesterday, All my trouble seems far away".
The movie "Happy Valley" said, no, such a simple life is not happy. Her poster says "Nothing is as simple as black and white."
Things have never been so simple. People who turn the world into black and white are just deceiving themselves and idealizing the world. And the single world, no matter how noble she looks, will not make people feel happy.
I know that "Happy Valley" is only advocating everyone to be true to themselves. Don't cover yourself with a set of ideal standards. The hypothetical time in the small town was 1958, which coincided with the eve of the great liberation of the mind in the United States. What the movie refers to is actually very clear, there is not much novelty, and it is far from a great movie.
But there are some plots in this movie that make me feel a bit familiar.
When some people in that black and white town discovered their true self in their hearts, the things around them and themselves became colorful. This makes the people in the town who are still black and white very dissatisfied.
So these people gathered together, broke the colorful soda shop, and burned the new books in the library.
After that, the mayor gathered everyone together and said that we should be peaceful and not use violence. Then a new code of conduct was issued.
The core of this code of conduct is to maintain stability and create a harmonious society. It is forbidden to see harmonious books, not to listen to uneasy music, and not to paint in colors other than black, white and gray.
They thought that this would change the world back to black and white.
Finally, the actor tells them that those colors come from everyone's heart, and no one has the right to stop it, and it can't be stopped at all.
