Review of Pleasantville (1998) by Ogmsg — 26 Feb 2015
A great movie for teaching students themes and messages that will resonate with them, such as the difference between purposeless and purposeful conformity and rebellion. Also a great movie for English teachers to use to teach allegory, symbolism and allusion as well as help students practice elements of literary analysis in a fun and more accessible manner.
It has some rough spots and the viewer is sometimes forced to suspend disbelief, but from a teacher's point of view, this movie is a perfect 10.
