Dear All!
Similar to the film The Remains of the Day (see my posting of July 30, 2004), the film Pleasantville highlights authenticity as compared to life dominated by rules and regulations. It reminds me a lot of Japan and its current struggle. In the film Pleasantville, the use of color signifies authenticity. It is a black-and-white film whenever rules dominate, however, as soon as authenticity emerges, people and things "acquire" color!
Most warmly!
