What is the definition of joy?

A pair of siblings living in a broken family, the older brother's thinking is a bit conservative, yearning for a carefree life in the 50s black and white TV series Happy Valley.
The younger sister, Jennifer, is a bit trendy and looks avant-garde and open.
Suddenly, two people inexplicably substituted into the black and white TV series Happy Valley. In the utopia of this TV series, everything seems to be a set program. There is no color, all the colors are black, white, and gray. There is no rain, no seasons, the sky will always be cloudless, and the temperature will always be 25 degrees. The book only has a cover, and the content inside is blank and there is no story. Everyone in the Happy Valley loves each other and is courteous and courteous. There is no violence, no tears, no basketball that can't make the basket. People in Happy Valley enjoy themselves, only joy. Men go home on time after work, women will bring out a sumptuous dinner, children always go to school obediently, there is no fire, the only task of firefighters is to save the cat on the tree.
In the beginning of the black and white TV series, the two people looked forward to returning to the original world. Until my sister met the handsome basketball captain and easily robbed him of his virginity. The scary thing is that before this, there was no such thing as sex in Happy Valley. After the younger sister had a sexual relationship with the basketball captain, colors appeared on them. This black and white world appeared in color for the first time, which shocked everyone in Happy Valley. .
It’s impossible for all basketball to enter the hoop. The blank books in the library have stories. The trees are on fire. Firefighters who can’t use fire hydrants are shocked. The Valley of Love for young people’s gatherings has become colorful, and the sky. There were raindrops that I had never seen before.
Especially when people face the complex emotions in their hearts, terrible changes bother everyone physically and mentally. The owner of the fast food restaurant got used to working in accordance with the established procedures, and suddenly there was a little change, and he was so frightened that he did not know what to do. In the heart of the good wife and mother, the yearning for good sex began to swell, and she actually experienced a happy orgasm in the bath.
Conservatives cannot tolerate the appearance of color, and even more do not want to see that people yearn for the outside to open the Pandora's box of desire and instinct. However, the terrible wave of colors caused a revolution. People are beginning to realize that they are not so easily satisfied.
Here, we smell the political concepts of despotism, power, illusion, deceit, and totalitarianism. Thinking of Orwell's "1984", Wang Xiaobo's "2010", Mike Quinn's "Golden Horn of Yapu Yap Island", Javier's "The Power of the Powerless"...Let us think of Kundera The word mentioned in "The Unbearable Lightness of Life" is kitsch. Kundera said that in the kingdom of kitsch, the dictatorship of the soul is implemented. The feelings aroused by kitsch must be shared by most people. Kitsch is a screen covering death.
Is the change good or bad? Which one is more terrible, the fate without choice or the one you can choose? Everyone has a wealth of emotions that are difficult to grasp. Is it right or wrong? The future is no longer certain. Does having unlimited options make people lost? Desire, greed, competition, challenge, guilt, confusion, pursuit, loss, freedom, tyranny, black and white, color... the big torture of human nature.

Pleasantville quotes

  • [first lines]

    [David is gazing admiringly at a pretty blonde girl]

    David: *Hi*

    [chuckles]

    David: I mean, Hi. Uh, look, you probably don't think I should be asking you this. I mean, not knowing you well and all? I mean, you know, I, I, I know you, 'cause everybody knows you. I just don't know you technically. Uh, anyhow. Uh, I don't know what you're doing this weekend, but my mom's leaving town, and she's letting me borrow the car.

    [the camera pulls back to show that the girl is standing several dozen feet away and, in fact, is smiling and looking at another boy]

    David: [Looks down at the ground, disappointed with himself, but still keeping his tone cheerful] Okey-dokey, so, just give me a call; let me know. Bye!

  • [Montage of teachers talking to David's classes]

    College Counselor: For those of you going on to college next year, the chance of finding a good job will actually decrease by the time you graduate. The available number of entry-level jobs will drop 31 percent over the next four years. Median income for those jobs will go down as well. Obviously, my friends, it's a competitive world, and good grades are your only ticket through. In fact, by the year 2000...

    Health Teacher: The chance of contracting HIV from a non-monogamous lifestyle will climb to 1 in 150. The odds of dying in an auto accident are only 1 in twenty-five hundred. Now, this marks a drastic increase...

    Science Teacher: ...from fourteen years ago, when ozone depletion was just at 10 percent of its current level. By the time you are thirty years old, average global temperature will have risen two and a half degrees, causing such catastrophic consequences as typhoons, floods, widespread drought, and famine.

    [Cut to David absorbing all this grim information and looking really depressed]

    Science Teacher: [With a bright smile:] Okay! Who can tell me what "famine" is?
