Pleasantville

In this movie, a town was transformed from blah to bold. Every time someone would break out of the grind, they would start to change from black and white to color. Some seemed to change much faster than others. I thought it was interesting how the kids to first "behave badly", or change to color, became the well mannered ones toward the end, while the rest of the town became destructive and prejudiced. I also thought it was interesting to see what unique things individuals had to do before changing to color. I wasn't a big fan the first time I watched this movie, but this time around I enjoyed the message.
