Amazing Flick, a Must Buy
My brother and I saw this in the theater thinking it would be a silly slapstick comedy. Wow, we were wrong. Not only was the story extremely enjoyable and thoughtful, but the special effects were actually quite stunning as well - like when a tree lights on fire and reflects in color onto black and white objects. ...there's a reason it's at 86% on Rotten Tomatoes.
A Touching, Realistic Portrayl of the Perfect Life
As you watch the movie, you really get a clear glimpse on what society would be like if we were to all live in the perfect world, with the perfect life. It really shows you the reality of how life would truly be. There would be no emotion, sense of knowledge, or sadness. Quite frankly, it would be as boring as you could get. No excitement. Just the same routine day after day. Honestly, it is a great movie, as you really watch it.
I like it
This movie gives you a warm feeling. It makes you think, and it makes you laugh. Pleasantville has a great cast and I really do recommend it.
