I hate to admit how many times I watched this movie in theaters and especially once it hit DVD. The soundtrack is awesome too.

I went into seeing this movie in theaters, thinking it was a 50s spoof. The reverse of this was done as a sitcom earlier in the 90s. The social commentary partly went over my head as a kid but definitely applies to 2025

Previous to this Toby and Joan both starred in Ang Lee’s The Ice House which is an interesting period piece put together with this. That was the first movie that really put Tobey in peoples minds as a talent to watch.

My grandparents were very much the 1950s stereotype family down to the twin beds so it was embarrassingly long before I realized that wasn’t the norm.

I never really thought much about the fact my grandparents had separate bedrooms.

I first became aware of this movie from the guiness world records book from around 2000 where Pleasantville had the record for most computer effects used in a movie. Also another great early performance from Reese Witherspoon playing a rebel type character is the movie Freeway (a 90s retelling of little red riding hood) which also features a creepy performance by Keifer Sutherland.

# Bud/David was really the first to create change in Pleasantville when he teaches Mr Johnson to think for himself at the cafe. # The scene in the bowling alley showing Bob in front of the projected scoring sheet is an homage to the scene in Patton of George C. Scott speaking in front of a giant American Flag. # Also, the shot of the segregated courtroom (with the "coloreds" restricted to the balcony) is an homage to To Kill a Mockingbird.

Very great artistic movie, one of those things you could assign students an essay on breaking down some part of the symbolism and themes. And very rewatchable. I don't think I've ever not enjoyed seeing it again, its probably a dozen times now.

I remember after watching this for the first time and coming home to my apartment, I'd open the front door and say, "Where's my dinner... Where's. My. Dinner?!" And giggle to myself gleefully.

I definitely need more time to do a rewatch, I've been thinking about it nonstop. Can't wait to see it again

I'm so glad you guys liked this movie. I put it on your list because it's truly one of my favorites, and I had a feeling its themes would resonate with you. I also think the acting from EVERYBODY in this film is just phenomenal. I was about to type "especially Joan Allen," but truly, there isn't a single person in it who doesn't crush it. As for black sitcoms before the 70s, there was one - "Amos and Andy," which was originally a radio series before it migrated to television. Its portrayals of black characters were pretty stereotypical, but beyond that, it was very much standard early sitcom fare, with all the same themes and tropes. Anyway, thanks again for a great reaction!
