Oh Golly Gee Whiz...I'm the Kennest Girl in School, that's Swell!

Pleasantville is the “perfect” place in the world, until two meddling kids from the future mess it up, way to go Jennifer and David! At first you believe that Pleasantville is perfect and then two kids show them how to have fun and mess up the perfectness of Pleasantville. Two things stick out, first the fact that parents slept in different beds and when the store started selling 1 bigger bed for couples, the town freaked! OMG! The second thing is that there are no toilets in the bathroom, mainly because that was taboo in the 1950’s. The town goes through changes and ultimately in the end the town in even more perfect (if it was ever so possible), because it not only has color but also is connected to the world, the t.v. now shows pictures of famous places around the world. The segregation of the town is responsive to the racial inequalities of the 1950’s, proof that the 1950’s and Pleasantville are/were not perfect. What I think is really crazy is that between David and Jennifer, David is the major geek who knows everything about the show yet is the most instrumental in turning their world upside down, Jennifer is not fully to blame. We all know the 1950’s were more crazy and unstable than the shows of the time like to believe. If only life was as awesome back then as they like to portray it, I would have loved to live then, but unfortunately it wasn’t.
