The script perfectly captures all the feelings and urges of Seth and Evan, angry with each other because their lives are headed in different directions and like “knocked up” the movie also manages to combine filthy phrases and dirty words with almost delicate emotion and truthfulness.

The movie Pleasantville can be seen as an American movie because it has a lot of techniques used in other American movies. Pleasantville itself is about a brother(David) and sister(Jennifer) who get trapped in 1980’s sitcom in which everything is perfect and nothing can go wrong. The criteria used to define movies as “American” usually deals with the lives of teenagers and how they deal with it, whether it is relationship problems, social status, or other issues which trouble teenagers.

Seeing the movie with a fresh perspective has served almost as reinforcement to me; I am “Seizing the Day”, pursuing the dreams I had as a young lady. I can personally identify with the characters of Neil and Todd’s characters in the movie because of the parallels within my own life as a rebellious teenager. Allow me to explain the correlations with my own life, maybe a different perspective that what you normally receive from your students.
