Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Pleasantville


David is a fanatic of the 50's television series, "Pleasantville." A marathon starts at 6:30, which coincides with his sister Jennifer's date. When the remote control breaks, a mysterious repairman appears at the door, and gives them a new one. David, and Jennifer then find themselves in the black-and-white, and picture-perfect world of Pleasantville. They are also the two main characters of on the show, and if they change even one thing in Pleasantville, the results would be horrible. When Jennifer can't take a sexless world, she makes love to a charming student, and soon the craze catches on. The town becomes more and more colourful each day. At first, David is upset, but then get used to it and joins in. That is until the mayor sees the mess. This is a beautifully-shot film with amazing sets, and special effects. The ensemble cast does a wonderful job in their respective roles, and director/writer Gary Ross has created an amazing world.
