Pleasantville!

I've spent most of my day at school today and now I understand what people mean when they say they just want to go back to a simpler time.......like the 50s!!

For my film in the 50s class today we watched a short clip during class and then told that we had a showing of a film called Pleasantville later that day or the following day to discuss in class on Wednesday!! It was last minute and I'm happy that I had the time to do so today because I wouldn't tomorrow......

Now Pleasantville is a rather good movie. Its about two kids that get transported into this show called....you guessed it.....Pleasantville. And while there they introduce many new things. In this town holding hands was monumental and much like going steady. They believed that all the streets go in circles and books have no words in them.......and they know nothing about color. As you would guess these two kids being there start to disrupt their rather pleasant way of like and with it bringing color!! I won't let you know too much more.....other then that they make a rather interesting parody of  'coloreds - not allowed' a statement about the time I feel.

I personally love this movie and I hope that y'all will go check it out. But it does bring to mind a seeming simpler time and something I would love to go back to......to escape all the stress of current day to day life!

Thanks as always for reading <3
