Essential love

I like this kind of story that gets more and more profound.

Black and white is the tone of the older brother David. He likes peace and quiet. Color is the tone of Jennifer. Adventure love is all perfect, and it feels very light at the beginning.

However, the more you look at it, the more it tastes. The black and white town is like a bubble paradise. The people here follow the steps, ignoring desires and responsibilities. "Life" is just life, like a peaceful landscape, beauty is beautiful. Yes, but by no means the magnificent waves from the waterfall.

In life, what is interesting is desire.

So when Jennifer arrived, the town gradually became more colorful, knowing more things, and learning a better way of life. The firefighters knew that they had other responsibilities besides saving the cat, and the books were no longer blank. Filming, the wife and husband are no longer role-playing.

On the whole, it is more like a clash of ages. Combining with American history makes sense. A standardized life makes people feel at ease, but the unknown life makes people even more likely to have the idea of ​​going on.

The dystopian approach makes people sober, and life is more about human sex than a romantic candlelight dinner.

The subsequent confrontation with the mayor was also faintly mixed with some political implications, and in the end, the color still filled the whole town, didn't it?

Pleasantville quotes

  • Skip: I'll see you at school, Mary Sue.

    [Jennifer smiles as Skip drives away]

    Jennifer: Who's that?

    David: Skip Martin, captain of the basketball team.

    Jennifer: Does he like me?

    David: As a matter of fact, he does.

    [Jennifer's smile turns slightly lecherous]

  • [the geography teacher uses a pointer to demonstrate, on the classroom blackboard, the world of Pleasantville, which consists of Elm Street, Main Street, and the Town Hall]

    Miss Peters: Last week, class, we discussed the geography of Main Street. This week we're going to be talking about Elm Street. Now, can anyone tell me the difference between Elm Street and Main Street? Tommy.

    Tommy: It's not as long?

    Miss Peters: That's right, Tommy, it's not as long. Also, it only has houses, so the geography of Main Street is different than the geography of Elm Street.

    [Jennifer is frowning in bewilderment. She raises her hand]

    Miss Peters: Mary Sue!

    Jennifer: Yeah. What's outside of Pleasantville?

    [the entire class turns to look at her]

    Miss Peters: I don't understand.

    Jennifer: Outside of Pleasantville? Like, what's at the end of Main Street?

    Miss Peters: [chuckles and shakes her head] Mary Sue. You should know the answer to that! The end of Main Street is just the beginning again.

    [the teacher points at the intersection of Elm and Main. The class feels released to giggle at Jennifer/Mary Sue's clearly stupid question, and Jennifer frowns again]
