David and Jennifer fought over the remote control and it broke down，and just then a TV repairman arrived. He gave them a new remote control，and then as they scramble for the remote control again, they are suddenly transported into David’s favorite black and white TV play ：pleasantville. There is no color here, people live a quiet life, as if there are rules, couples respect each other, children are clever and sensible, basketball can always be thrown in, books without words and never late for dinner. Because the arrival of David and Jennifer slowly changed the place，then people were surprised to find that they could see colors. The people with color became more and more , and the conservatives without color began to attack them. But that didn’t stop the spread of color, and oconservatives were also changed to colors. At the end of the film, Jennifer chose to stay in pleasantville , while David returned to the real world.
When I finished watching the movie, I thought it was just a simple and interesting movie，but after I read other people’s movie reviews，I learned that this is a very good dystopian film.
And then I look around and I’m really lucky to be in a world of “color”.
