Can we just talk about how ingenious it was that the book they're discussing is the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn? A book about a boy discovering his identity through his friendship with "a person of color." In a film where there is no color and individual identity is about to be discovered. The music is ingeniously incorporated too with "Take Five" by Dave Brubeck playing in the background throughout the scene until David gets asked about the book by Margaret and the music transitions to "So What" by Miles Davis. The music literally changes to color.
Damn this film is fucking amazing! This is how you do layered storytelling!
The progressives have made everything more racist and pushed identity politics for virtue. What’s ingenious now is to look at this now in 2021 and see that society was destroyed for instant gratification
😁😁😁
@@jongon0848 Lets first start with the left banning Huck Finn for racism. Then let’s discuss the film itself, the society was safe, stable and life was good, until a selfish progressive whore brought instant gratification from her world filled with divorce, crime, and promiscuity. Soon the first fire they ever saw occurred, families were split and society dissolved. This is extremely comparable to the regressives today who, like BLM, specifically call for the removal of nuclear family structures and the destruction of statues and the social fabric of society. In the 90s - when the film was made - nobody cared about race but now racial and sexual identity is everything. You are forced to take anti white training in schools and companies now. Like in the film, America is being destroyed for instant gratification by selfish whores
@@jongon0848 And I was just making an observation based on your response. I have no idea what you are talking about with militias. Not my audience? I don’t care dude, I am not pandering to an audience, and you and I both know you have nothing tangible to say in response to me except name calling. I assume you are a regressive, and I guarantee then that you are all about censorship and racial identity now.
So in the movie they had a perfect Utopia but without knowledge and the freedom of choice??? I will chose knowledge and freedom of choice any day of the week….and twice on a sunday…and three times in church hours….
This scene is like unraveling an entire Universe we didn't know it existed.
Evil Princess Yes , Great movie ... My favorite
Yes. The real truth is, there is more earth than just the earth realm we're currently familiar with. There is more land than you can possibly know.
The multiverse is a concept about which we know *frighteningly* little
Dr. Strange be like

The timing of the music to what's happening in the scene is crazy good. "What's outside of Pleasantville?"
Yeah - I noticed that as well. They don't cut the music to fit the scene, they literally edited the movie TO the music, making use of musical cues as edit points. If you close your eyes and just listen to the music, it's exactly as we know it. Fantastic!
Brilliant use of “Take Five”.
Yup. . .I grew up listening to Brubeck
The timing of the music is absolutely brilliant in this scene, with Brubeck to Miles transitioning beautifully.
Yes! And, even better, Miles Davis' So What. To think what that album was to Jazz at that time and how it revolutionized a whole new genre is so poetic.
1998: What's outside of Pleasantville?
2021: What's outside of Westview?
Since WandaVision I knew for a fact that He was going back someway. Thank god it was true!
Eastview😂
This movie got smart ideas
Madge Pereira yes, a lot of smart ideas
It really did.
It’s ancient gnostic mythology, this is what the gnostics believed
The most underrated movie in history, and this particular scene will NEVER get old. 💯
100%
This is movie is timeless.. ironically 💕 but it's masterpiece I'm glad that my generation got to see it.
My teacher showed us this film
A true timeless masterpiece
@@theconductoresplin8092 your teacher was so cool man I wish mine were :-( that cool

Bro I feel like watching every movie that has Peter AKA Tobey.
I love this scene, and especially the music, which starts with Dave Brubeck's Take Five--a daring piece at the time, then moves on to Miles Davis's So What from the Kind of Blue album, which is, in this context and as it was at the time it was recorded, at once liberating and dangerous.
Now, that you mention it, I love TAKE FIVE, I mean, I hear that song ringing in my head from time to time.
Exactly. I was describing this movie to a friend of mine yesterday after we watched a movie together with a somewhat similar theme ("The Giver"). I mentioned the way in which the music changes from the clean-cut and wholesome rock-n-roll of the 1950s to Dave Brubeck. For one thing, jazz is a musical genre which had its start in the African-American community rather than the white community...and even though at least some parts of the 1950s American mainstream community appreciated the music, that did not necessarily always translate to appreciation and respect for the artists who composed and performed it, even those like Cal Tjader and Dave Brubeck (who played what was called "cool school" rather than bebop) and were white. People who work in the arts are (not without reason!) generally regarded as being unorthodox to say the very least -- this is in part because being an artist is about both emotion and imagination, two things which the establishment generally doesn't have much use for or think much of -- and this is even more true when you're talking about forms or genres which are still considered emergent or experimental as jazz still was at that time. Jazz was also stereotypically viewed as the favored genre of "beatniks" who rebelled against convention.
Tobey has the Peter Parker face here.
Indeed
deedin
Yup.
That’s like saying Harrison has Harrison Ford face.
is that the same actor from sea biscuit the horse movie?
Funny he was trying to stop things from changing then he ends up helping things change.
It was their desire and excitement to change that made it much easier for him.
H o s t e s s a kedvencekhez ad az a baj hogy nem a legjobb
At 1:26 the moment Margaret asks him is when David starts to help
My friend showed me this movie the other night and I was blown away at how little it is talked about. It's gorgeously shot and has a lot to unwrap. Truly one of the most under appreciated gems out there and I'm so thankful she showed it to me
it is a great movie. i saw it in the theatre in 98. Well worth the ticket. it is in my DVD collection now. Side note: this was Don Knotts final appearance ( i think) before he passed away.
This has to be my favorite scene from one of my favorite movies. This is such an underrated gem.
This part always confused me when I was younger, but now I get it. These people never read, never watched TV outside the usual sitcoms, never went to parties, never had sex, nor travelled outside of town. The books being blank were them not knowing what they were about, but when they told it, the pages wrote themselves back. Giving them more of a chance to know how it ends. This was the true definition of woke. Woke up by the knowledge of what came before, in places no one dared to look, but using it rather than to go backwards, but to move forward. Keeping the memories alive and making newer and better ones.
I always thought the Dave Brubeck Quartet “Take Five” jazz instrumental was about the awe and wonder of adolescence and exploration of what was beyond the known world as a kid.
The nineties, man this movie makes me think of my first job, first kiss and girlfriend. Man I'm old.
We are all olds and youngs 😄👊
3:03 huck and.......... the slave. Lmao
Gotta love how consciously knowledgeable about the book the writers were, especially when it came to Jim's actual name. That's intelligent writing.
I saw this in theaters when I was 11 years old. I remember seeing trailers and ads for it and at that point I think the only actor I was that familiar with was Jeff Daniels since he’d been in various family films plus Dumb & Dumber. I was shocked to find out the movie bombed at the time. Extremely underrated! ^__^
This was like a twilight zone episode.
I like the question at 1:29. In spite of all we have been taught, there is a lot more going on that we could ever imagine.
The Firemen from Fahrenheit 451 dislike this video.
😄😄😄
That is a good scene. For an ex teacher, perfect.
I always wondered who the actress was standing behind Tobey Maguire in this scene at 2:56. She's gorgeous.
Love it when the books started to get writing on them now this world gets more interesting more often
I love this scene with the song in the background
I've always loved this song too. Take Five by Dave Brubeck
This is one of the all time greatest movie scenes. Like when the ape men wake up and experience the black monolith in 2001 a Space Odyssey.
Tell it like it is, David! You the man!
Miles Davis playing in the background 😎
I love the music build-up . . . .take 5
At 1:26 the moment Margaret asks him is when David starts to help
Any ideas on why the clock, the lettuce, and the milk are in color?
I’d love to see what Miles Davis would think of this scene using his music.
This is priceless!
Tobey Maguire is lovely here. 😍
EDIT: As is Reese Witherspoon.
Witherspoon is a munter
It'd be interesting seeing a sequel with David and Jenny bringing characters from the show into the modern world. Of course David and Jenny would have a lot of explaining to do.
Examples:
Computers and modern technology such as cellphones or social media like Facebook.
Populations of homeless people. The show's characters are always kind and generous. That's a good thing, but how much generosity would be too much for homeless people to take?
Gun control. There is no violence in the show, but it obviously would be a shock for a character from the show witnessing a shooting or learning about a murder.
Illegal drugs such as cocaine or Fentanyl and the ongoing debate of recreational use of weed.
Now how would David and Jenny stay connected? An idea IMO would be Jenny in flashback scenes visiting David on a regular basis so he can tell her about the progression of the modern world after the events of the movie including about events that changed everything.
If i had a pretty blonde like her smile at me asking "Whats outside of Pleasantville?" And "How does it end?" Id suddenly decide to explain things as Bud or David did here too!
As Bud/David, I would take some appropriate things from the real world, go back into the show and give them to Maggie. If she asks, I, with the help of Jenny would bring Maggie into the real world and tell Maggie everything she wants to know about the real world. To help Maggie fit in, Bud/David (if he had the money to do so), would help her rent an apartment or stay in a motel room for as long as she wants.
The song is called Take 5 and is on many movies and I love it.
Who’s the actor who asks “like the mighty Mississippi?” I know him from somewhere as a kid.
Moving forward and letting go of the past!
Pleasantville fact is the same town as hill valley back to the future.
I get how people can turn colors, even a jukebox. But what does a clock have to do to turn colors?
Peter Parker in the 1950 television show and decided to save the world from being in black and white and returns to the real world and became Spider-Man. Reese Witherspoon had decided to stay in the tv world and became a singer and a dancer and started to married Joker
I think you’re getting Reese Witherspoon and Margot Robbie mixed up haha
No No No I’m doing a reference of this movie and the Johnny Cash movie
This hot chick I knew in high school and college once told me that this film was good...but in like an English teacher's way. Lindsey you were so wise back then, hope you're well.
Brian O'Conner has met his old friend before they got separated from each other to make their own separate movies individually
Omg the last book is catcher in the rye and I kinda wanted to see how they would react to it
Seems troublesome but good. It’s not profane as it is. People do curse like that back then, I’ve seen old Hollywood bloopers where actors say “son of a bitch” and “goddamnit” when they screw up a line before 1951.
I knew about it when John Lennon’s killer was influenced by the book and I started reading it when I was doing a 1001 books list, Holden seemed troubled and was looking for fulfilment even before he was kicked off of boarding school. He seemed like a charming James Dean but with some issues.
Great Music!
Hard to believe this film was a box office failure...
So I need a really big movie nerd to look into something, pleasantville seems to me to have some connections to nightmare on elm st. Besides the elm street, the house where Toby is living in looks alot like the elm st house, then the ending, Toby took out the jacket into the real world, much like Nancy did with kreuger's hat.
Such an odd but alright movie lol
3:17 Magic
I like the thumbnail image
Tobey looks fresh here
OMG COOL MAN
Lol Catcher in the Rye
Time goes so fast
00:32 Jenna Fisher!
I really hate how they treat 50s kids as stupid when they were probably more educated than todays teens. Even if they were stupid they were happy. Why interrupt that? I feel like people from miserable or lacking backgrounds like this movie because it’s some kind of revenge against people who figured it out.
You clearly didn’t see the movie so I’ll spoil it for you. These 50s kids are not from the real world but in a TV called Pleasantville. Their entire world is their town Pleasantville and how pleasant it is. They’re not stupid, their innocent. And as the movie points out, they weren’t truly happy until they looked inside themselves much like how it is in reality,
You should watch the movie. Your impression of it is 100% off base.
You REALLY need to watch the movie.
You could tell these people anything lol, this whole area could be your kingdom :p
Tell it like it is.
On hightower I drew a snake on me me so a snake 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍 comes out
Hang on, aren't Huck and Jim trying to go DOWN river once they get the raft? They have to go down river to Cairo in order to catch a steam boat up river to the free states?
Was the music actually in the movie?
Yes.
HEY THER PIZZA PARKER
Progressivism and instant gratification have destroyed society
This movie never made any damn sense. 50s black and white sitcoms had fire and rain, and rodes let places out of town and books had words in them!!!!! The writer did NOT do his homework!!!!
The TV show "Pleasantville" within this movie is a parody of 1950s sitcoms, not an accurate representation of them. The point of the film is to show that a life that is simple and predictable is almost totalitarian, void of pain, yes, but also void of art, literature, religion, intelligence, and critical thinking. The world of "Pleasantville" reveals itself as less like "Father Knows Best" and "Leave It To Beaver", and more like "Brave New World" controlled by Standards and Practices.
The characters in Pleasantville are in a "pocket universe", each part of which is defined only to the extent it was shown on the old show. Thus it's made up of strictly of stereotypes and characterized by lack of detail, repetition, and boredom. It has a changeless quality, and not in a good way. The two "injected" characters -- Bud and his sister -- break them out of that pocket and help them experience a larger world through art, etc.
Gonna cry?
Robert Haworth doctor who reference no ? Ahah
I think you do not often visit to cinemas.
This was like a twilight zone episode.
