Extra credit:Theory Analysis of The Pleasantville movie

 

This is a moving movie that shuttles between black and white and color. The ancient and modern are presented to the audience at the same time. The retro colors and the magnificent world are as gorgeous as angels and demons spreading their wings at the same time. Because of the contrast, the audience is given the right to choose, and the magical atmosphere is combined. Frames of images full of strong color contrast strike, this is the most beautiful lullaby sung by adults to children, and this is the most incredible dream come true.

According to Goffman's theory of dramatization, the following is an analysis of the movie "Pleasantville": Stage "foreground" and "backstage": In this society, people's behavior is limited to the rules and constraints of the "frontstage". They can only do things that are recognized and accepted by society, and they dare not try anything new or unusual behavior. This way of behaving is considered a conservative and fixed social structure. With the arrival of David and Jennifer, they began to lead the society into the "backstage". Plot: The action in the film sparks change in an entire town through the transformation of the siblings' characters in the TV series. They bring new ideas and new ways of doing things that advance the culture and values of the town. The whole plot is full of twists and turns, making the audience full of curiosity and suspense. Impression management: Everyone is given a fixed gender role and behavior. Men should be strong and rational, and women should be gentle and housewives. However, with the development of the plot, Jennifer began to rebel against the stereotypes of women in society Impressions and began to pursue her own career and independence, this pursuit led to her personal growth and development, while also causing a shock to society's concept of gender roles. Audience: The residents of the town are the audience. They learned about the life and values of the town through the experience of the brothers and sisters, and followed the progress of the plot, thinking about various issues in real society, such as gender equality and racial discrimination. The film shows the importance of social progress and freedom, and at the same time reflects on the restrictions and constraints of traditional values.
