What was that link about?

I can't remember the last time I saw the film. Maybe 15-20yrs ago, online?

this one popped up in my free-movie feed, perfectly astounding me, and I tried to quickly come up with some BS-prescient title on the fly, as it were.

Give me your title suggestion, and let's go with that one, instead. I'll fix it right up.

The theme of learning to be oneself within a reactionary culture hits so hard.

I haven’t seen it in far too long.

Pleasantville is about all belief systems trapping people into being a person that isn't really who they are.

The sister (Reese Witherspoon) believes she's a bad girl until she gets a chance to be herself without the outside influence. Just like the soda jerk artist (Jeff Daniels) who wants to be an artist but everyone just thinks of him as the guy who serves sodas. The movie is about the heartache and excitement of self discovery.

Also, best use of "At Last" in a movie soundtrack, ever.

It's nice to hear that he turned it into such a wonderful thing. <3

Actually reminds me of Gary Sinese’s recent share:

FWIW, Jeff Daniels' Purple Rose Theater was a drive away, growing up. It's a gem, and a legit non-profit, too.
