First off, in my opinion, do NOT got to the OSA haunted house!  

If you told me it was CRAP I would have imagined 

something a hundred times better than what I saw.  

Not scary, poorly done, it blew giant chunks of mediocrity.

 I sincerely hope this is not an indication of the quality of that school because THAT, my friends, would be truly scary!

Pleasantville, where nobody poops...

The cheerful '50s TV sitcom "Pleasantville" is revived in the '90s for a loyal cable audience. One devoted fan is shy suburban teen David Wagner (Tobey Maguire - Spiderman Trilogy), who has an almost obsessive interest in the series. Living with his divorced mother (Jane Kaczmarek), David sometimes has disputes with his ultra-hip twin sister Jennifer (Reese Witherspoon-Legally Blond).

She wants to watch MTV just when a Pleasantville marathon is about to begin. They struggle over the remote control, and it breaks. A strange TV repairman (Don Knotts) supplies their new remote, a potent high-tech device which zaps David and Jennifer inside of the Pleasantville TV world, where their new sitcom parents are businessman George Parker (William H. Macy) and wife Betty (Joan Allen).

As "Bud" and "Mary Sue," the teens take up residence in a black-and-white suburbia where sex does not exist and the temperature is always 72 degrees. Life is always pleasant, books have no words, bathrooms have no toilets, married couples sleep in twin beds, the high school basketball team always wins, and nobody ever questions "The Good Life."

What Pleasantville accomplishes is a social study of television; it contrasts 50s and 90s television's view of those eras. While the TV shows of early television depicted intact families and traditional values, 50s culture was probably more 'real.' Current television has almost done the opposite: presenting us with reality that is perhaps more harsh and false than real life now is.

Below are some general themes that we will use to guide our discussion for credit next class.

• You will go over them as a class before we start the film.

• We will NOT be stopping during the film, but we will be stopping before the film ends for you to write down notes.

• Feel free to jot down notes during the film but do not ask us to stop the film.

Themes in the movie Pleasantville

• Pleasantville is a movie of contrasts. What are some of the OBVIOUS contrasts they show between the 50’s and the Future? What are some of the film tricks they use to show LITERAL contrast (CONTRAST: The state of being strikingly different from something else, typically something OPPOSITE, or REVERSE)
• The TV 'repairman say’s "I know what I'd feel like if my TV broke; like I'd lost a friend.". How would you feel if you had NO TV, and no Internet TV/YouTube/NetFlix/etc...
• Destiny--everything in Pleasantville is scripted, has a place. What about our lives? Do you ever feel like all the decisions are already made for you?
• Censorship: The mayor of Pleasantville say’s "It seems to me we must separate out the things that are unpleasant from the things that are pleasant.". In Pleasantville personal expression and differences are unacceptable and anything straying from what is known is feared. Think about your family at home, what happens when your ideas or opinions differ from your elders?
• Racism: "No coloreds." reads a sign in Pleasantville window. "Coloreds" are people who have become enlightened or who become passionate; they are rejected from mainstream Pleasantville. Why would the filmmakers use this obvious sign from the USA’s racist past? Is this movie about racism too, or just intolerance? Is this the way the world still is? Why or why not?
