*PLEASANTVILLE* First Time Watching MOVIE REACTION

[@jenmurrayxo]

What other 90's dramas should we check out? 1990's Playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLQHhQlj8i5dr8dJVR7bb5cRjIvAT-MeIM

[@JuliesWorldCrochet]

You've covered a lot of my favorites but I'll also suggest: Flatliners (1990, ignore the remake) and The Truman Show ((1998). Also Go (1999), which is so well written and hilarious, a cult favorite that's also in my top 10 all time movies. And if you're looking for a forgotten straight-up comedy, Nothing To Lose (1998) is funny as all heck. Love your reactions!

[@antifableach]

Dude, Jen, you should watch Requiem for a Dream. But that movie will mess up your entire day. It can change your entire life. It came out in 2000 but it was made in the 1990's.

[@christopherlundgren1700]

This movie kind of tricks you into thinking that it's just going to be a silly "sucked into the TV" story, and then slowly starts to reveal its depth and humanity. The best kind of bait and switch.

He really had a goog run of movies. I really like Red Rock West where he starred with Nicolas Cage, Lara Flynn Boyle and Dennis Hopper.

He was excellent in Breakdown, a Kurt Russell film. I think Jen should react to that one. NO ONE has done this mystery/thriller movie.

Every Jen reaction is always a treat and this was definitely one of my favourite reactions.

[@RP_Williams]

Did you not watch the film FIRST (and THEN the reaction)?

[@CoryGasaway]

A masterpiece. Most underrated film of all time! Forgotten amongst a time where there were too many great films and cinema was peaking in the late 90s. If it came out now, it would dominate the awards and Oscars. I watch it every year... and teach it.

[@ronfehr7899]

It somehow seems appropriate to have Don Knotts appear in the movie. He played deputy Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show in the 1950s.

[@flarrfan]

Dick van Dyke was supposed to play the repairman but pulled out. Don Knotts was a great last minute casting.

[@ronfehr7899]

​@@flarrfanI guess that would have been appropriate too, since he also had his own show back then.

[@thorstrebla980]

Don Knotts was perfect because, between The Andy Griffith Show and Three's Company, he was probably going to be on the television if you turned it on.

[@thomastimlin1724]

Andy Griffith show was in the 1960's...

[@ronfehr7899]

​@@thomastimlin1724Oops. Thanks for correcting me. I was born in the 1960s, and my family didn't have a television until the latter half of the decade. I guess that's where my 1950s assumption came from.

"But she has kids!" Hey, they came with the pilot episode. 😏

"It's Paul Walker! He's so cute!" I always forget Paul is in this until he rolls up because the cast is so fantastic. He's still in his supporting era here (She's All That, Varsity Blues, The Skulls, etc) but nails the character of the 'nice guy' who does a heel-turn in the face of change. RIP to a beautiful man and underrated talent.

[@timriehl1500]

So glad you watched this; it's one of my favorites and I don't think it gets the love it deserves.

[@chrislaustin]

This is a hidden gem for sure, as everyone I know who saw this movie loved it, but I rarely ever see it talked about or many reactions for that matter. The story was great, as almost any "prejudice" could be substituted, and nothing really changes. Just a well done, thought provoking film that deserves more recognition.

[@lainwakura]

jeff daniels is hands down my favourite in this film. he does such an incredible job in this movie.

[@coinsaver]

Also seen in "Speed".

[@jasonthompson4436]

So glad to see this film getting some recognition. I remember when it was released and i think it deserves to be revisited. Joan Allen in particular is so great (with a special mention to Jeff Daniels too). Edit: Okay I underestimated how good this film is as i hadn't seen it for so long. Although it ostensibly about, and set in, 1950's America, it seems eerily and sadly prescient. I hope more reactors become aware as id love to see more people see and appreciate it (i now need to go through my old DVD storage boxes as im sure i still have a copy somewhere lol)

[@cyberingcatgirls7069]

Indeed. The mayor and his supporters definitely wanted to make Pleasantville great again.

[@chadbennett7873]

Ann unrecognized gem and I'm so happy that you watched it. Jeff Daniels is seriously one of the best actors out there, and one hell of a musician. His performance in The Newsroom (three season series on HBO) is, in my opinion, is the greatest television series ever, only competition is Ted Lasso. Yeah, the very clever use of color and "colored" is strikingly brilliant, and is the root of the meaning of this film. In these current times, this film should make a huge comeback for obvious reasons. Excellent reaction, Jen!

[@bigdream_dreambig]

YES to The Newsroom. Great show. I was sad when it ended.

[@chadbennett7873]

@@bigdream_dreambig There isn't a person on that show that wanted it to end. They became like a family and it was incredible. Aaron Sorkin is a master of dialog, and it really holds up today with the clown show going on.

[@3DJapan]

No toilets reminds me of The Brady Bunch. The kids spend a lot of time in the bathroom getting ready for school and stuff but you never see a toilet. There wasn't one.

[@bookwoman53]

There was a trailer for the tv show “All in the Family”. The characters were singing the theme song with different lyrics. “Television’s grown up now”. They sang about couples sleeping together in one bed and using words that hadn’t forbidden. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaibgnuCiLdom80si=QMH4sumTRegiOKrq

[@christopherconard2831]

I think the first instance of someone using a bathroom toilet on TV was on All in the Family. Also, though not the first, the Bunkers were one of the earliest couples to be seen in the same bed. On the Brady Bunch the parents originally had separate beds, but eventually pushed them together. It seems odd that television was around for twenty years before it occurred to anyone to do that.

[@thorstrebla980]

The funny thing about The Brady Bunch was that even though there was no toilet, you did get to hear one flush in the final season.

[@bookwoman53]

There is video with the cast of All in the Family singing “television’s grown up now. We don’t need a marriage vow” It goes on to talk about toilets and other things that were forbidden on TV. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6fVep-qrbyhiZIsi=w3hDh6TGpEM-Yz_y

Love this movie, it’s sweet without being childish, it’s wise without being terribly preachy, it’s heartbreaking without being tragic…it plays by its own rules and slowly lets you in on what’s going on. Such a gem, always worth seeing again. To answer your question, they shot the movie in color and then digitally removed color from the pieces that needed to be in black and white. Obviously, this gets more complicated the longer it goes on, for early scenes, they could just drop all the color out, but later shots they had to be more deliberate.

[@kamenanew9867]

Holy crap jen i loved that, 'i Wonder what would make me turn color, prolly hearing great music, or seeing a dog in color ' yes. Love the way ur mind works that eas awesome.

[@Dr3amtime]

As others have noted, the inclusion of Don Knotts (deputy Fife from the Andy Griffith show) was a stroke of genius. Andy Griffith, even more than Leave It to Beaver, was the ultimate in feel good black and white rose colored portrayal of 50's (white) american life. The reruns were a sweet retreat and guilty pleasure for kids needing to escape the more uncertain currents of the 70's and 80's.

[@elvwood]

Quite possibly my favourite movie of the 90s, and certainly one that deserves waaaay more reactions, so thank you! It's clever, and surprising, and meaningful, and entertaining. The colour effects were right on the edge of what could be done effectively at the time. Incidentally, the book flying on the mural, "The Catcher in the Rye", is (in)famous as a much-censored novel about teen rebellion, so that's very appropriate!

[@PhantomShadow224]

Wow, this movie feels ahead of its time with its themes of accepting change

[@elgalvo]

At the time and until the Star Wars prequels came out, Pleasantville had the most digital scenes of any movie. It was filmed in color then they digitally removed the color as needed. This meant that they had to have special makeup for those scenes in which makeup was featured. When you see Tobey's character wipe the makeup on the mom, it isn't just some silver shade, it is the exact shade that matches that actress's skin color and tone when it is converted to black and white. But they also had to find its complementary color as well (which isend up being like a greenish color). So in the scene where Bill wipes off Betty's makeup, at first her whole face is covered except that one spot by this grey/silver makeup. But when she turns around the makeup has completely changed; now it is only that spot that is colored in by that complementary greenish color and the makeup is being wiped on her face and not off of it

[@pauley2443]

I definitely think watching movies would give you color in Pleasantville. Not sure how you haven’t seen all these wonderful movies, but I do enjoy watching with you. Thanks!

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thanks Pauley! I love discovering all these movies!

[@ronfehr7899]

Having the dvd for this movie, I was able to watch the special features. One in particular spoke about the process of making the color-changing scenes. The one thing that stuck out for me was when Bud was applying makeup to hi mom's face. The makeup had to be a certain shade of green in order for the post-production crew to be able to colorize the areas that they needed to do.

[@Laceykat66]

You missed the best line where Jennifer says, "I'm wearing like 20 pounds of underwear." I laughed so hard in the theater.

[@MadcapMatt]

I love the version of Across The Universe that Fiona Apple did. Such a fantastic rendition used for this movie. One of my favorite things about this movie.

[@danielcameron9857]

"It's an allegory!"... those darned star-bellied sneeches!

[@tookitogo]

32:10 The DVD extras have a behind-the-scenes showing how they did the mixed black and white and color. I remember that for the makeup scenes, it was essentially done by using green and gray makeup, and then you’d just desaturate the green in post. (Or something like that - it’s been years since I watched the DVD extras.)

[@o0pinkdino0o]

You are the absolute best ! Nobody has done this yet. What a wonderful feel good movie full of fantastic ideas and terrific performances. "Where's my dinner ?!?!" More like this - Whip IT! - Drew Barrymore directorial debut with (then) Ellen Page doing roller derby. Meet Joe Black - Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt - a quirky movie/ comedy about how precious every second of life and family is and I'm gonna say my fave feel good movie... She's The Man - Amanda Bynes does Twelfth Night pretending to be a boy to get on a soccer team with Channing Tatum.

This was my first Tobey Maguire movie before he was Spiderman. One of the scenes I find the funniest was when Tobey was trying to get the fireman. And the art book scene was among my favorites. I was pretty young when this came out, and quite a few things flew over my head at the time. Like the basketball scene when all the balls didn’t make it in; I originally thought he was telling the guys about the red rose he saw. Boy did I laugh when I rewatched a couple years later and realize that was not the case. lol and I also didn’t understand the concern over the big beds. I find your puns as you watched very funny.

Pleasantville is a great movie for a bunch of reasons. It’s blend of how it starts off, and then fades into a black-and-white show and slowly introduces colour as people become more aware. Definitely one of a kind movie, and I applied the effort and thought overall it was well done.

[@jtonguam]

Great movie. Personally I put it in the same category as Blast From the Past. A lot of fun, don't think of it too often but when I see it, I watch it.

[@d.j.8059]

It's darkly hilarious that the beginning of this movie portrays the late 90s in the U.S. as a "pessimistic time", when those of us who lived through that era now look back at the period between the first Gulf War and 9/11 as pretty damn good compared to now. There are good things and bad things about each time period; in the 90s crime was higher than now, racial tensions really flared up hardcore, and medical technology/life expectancy obviously wasn't as advanced as today. On the flip side, politics didn't seem to pervade every aspect of life, social media hadn't poisoned our discourse and destroyed our attention spans, and the overall pace of life was slower and less stressful; forcing us to be more patient, tolerant of others and mindful of our surroundings. For those who lived both then and now, it's an interesting debate.

Thank you for watching this movie, Ms. Murray. It’s one of my absolute favorites. Seeing your reaction in your face and hearing it in your words it was obvious how much you liked it, also. There are so many things happening in this film, both subtle and obvious. It’s the film where I first took notice of Reese Witherspoon as a serious actor. Of course Jeff Daniels, Joan Allen, William H Macy and KT Walsh were brilliant. I would like to suggest (should you actually see this comment) a very underrated movie with Macy and Walsh (and others who are brilliant) called House of Games. It’s a thriller/noir from David Mamet. It is a slow buildup character study but there is a lot that goes on.

Good film Jen. My take on the change to colour is when the character has an original thought. For Jennifer/Mary Sue it's when she admits to herself she needs glasses. For David/Bud it's the realisation that sometimes violence is necessary. My theory has holes because it doesn't work for all characters, Skip for example. Betty is a pivotal character played by Joan Allen, who also plays Pam Landy in the Bourne sequels.
