treecher Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 The movie Pleasantville is playing on my TV right now. While it has been available to me for sometime, I never watched it until now. I don't know what the producers are trying to say but I can see it is how people are imprisoned in their own minds. When watched from the prospective of we who have broken the chains, it is a very interesting movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Gibbons Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Oh yeah, I remember watching that movie, I really liked that. I'll have to watch it again. Is this a movie review post? I remember the first time I watched it I was seeing it through the male actor's experience. I wonder if I'll have as much sympathy now for him falling for that woman.

treecher Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 I do not wish to review the movie and I wanted to keep my commentary generic so as to not spoil potential viewers. I suspect the major thrust, given the political bent of some folks involved, was to show what might happen if politically conservative people could create their ideal community. However, I think that misses the real point. Does this comment belong under Philosophy? While watching the movie I realized the characters could leave Pleasantville if they could break the chains in their own minds. Philosophy could free them.
