Pleasantville (1998)
9/10
Insightful, beautiful, transformative, touching

I have seen a couple of reviews politicizing this movie and that doesn't do it justice. This film doesn't have an agenda, it doesn't promote liberal or conservative values, it is just a portrait of the relationship humanity has with CHANGE. It simply shows how people react to it in others, in themselves, in society. This is about opening to life, about being flexible in the face of newness, not throwing traditions away. If you take the movie as a metaphor, which seems to be how it was intended, color, as a character here, simply stands for richness of new experiences. I'd say this is a movie for anyone who is open to being moved, it is soulful, bright and an instant classic. Loved it!
