Pleasantville is a small town in Westchester New York, which is anything but pleasant. There are a couple of bars, a grocery store, liquor stores and that’s basically it. There are a few schools in Pleasantville; Pleasantville High School where the students are put into a plastic bubbles by the administration there and are not allowed to do anything, Pace University where the students crowd the best bars in town (Paulies and Michaels) 5 out of the 7 days a week, and the best school of all: The Cottage School where the "students" are anything but good (look up a news report on this school). Weekend nights are kinda boring. If you don't have an ID or know someone, good luck getting into Paulies or Michaels. Occasionally the high school kids throw woods parties and very rarely house parties because everyone breaks each others stuff. If you want to have a good laugh or just be completely grossed out, just sit by the Pleasantville Pizzeria and you'll see the huge black transvestite, Shanaynay in fish net clothing and a feather scarf walking around. Also everyone knows everybody else, what you did, and who you did it with. You'll probably hear things about you that you didn’t even know yourself. Sounds like a great place to live, right?

Pleasantville is a small town in Northern Westchester, New York. It is less than 2 miles in diameter. The majority of the town is white, preppy, and moderately wealthy. Although it is a pretty town, the people are jerks. Everyone feels they have the need to know everyone elses business, and then feel the need to make sure everyone else knows as well. The town has 2 pizzarias, a coffee shop, and coldstone. woo-hoo.
and no, pleasantville is Not in black and white, so stop asking-its not funny anymore. or if its pleasant there.. thats annoying too.

great 1998 movie about the loss of innocence and living life according to feeling and emotion, not how society tells us to live our lives. the film centers around 2 people who are transported into a 1958 TV show based in a town called Pleasantville where everything is perfect and pleasant. this film also teaches us why segregation is bad and why living life based on the same old routine just hides what we really feel inside. this film stars tobey maguire, reese witherspoon, and william H. macy.

A small town in westchester county ny. It is not rare to see groups of hoodlum 6 year olds flipping their shit all over town. For such a small town, there is an excess of donuts, frozen yogurt, pizza, and nail salons. But really, there are at least 8 nail salons within an area of less than two square miles. The schools are fine but are full of assholes who think they run the place. Hint: not the teachers. The train station is convenient because there aren't many interesting things to do here. The occasional party is quickly ended by the police or the parents, who are equally as frightening. So next time your driving south to the city, make sure you keep driving right past this "pleasant" town. PS- pleasantville is ravaged by wild westlakers who roam the town on Friday afternoons. Proceed with caution.

People had missed the way that people once respected one another no matter what they looked like, and it was a lot to ask everyone to abandon that all so that one dork could get all the respect she thought everyone in a town she wasn't even originally from owed her. She was more like the girl that moved from somewhere almost like Pleasantville (except not in the 1950's) to the nearest mid-sized city and thought that she was there to save everyone from Pleasantville (of the 1950's), when really she was the closest thing to Pleasantville left and didn't even know it. She thought she was on the cutting edge of feminism or civil rights and was a champion of it in much the same way that Jim Jones thought he was a champion of civil rights in his own life altering disruptive way. Jim Jones was also from a small town before moving to a mid sized city claiming to "enlighten" them all and save them from themselves, and he wasn't making anything better or stronger by being there.

A movie about part of hell breaking loose, while all hell is never allowed to, not even by the end of the movie does all hell break loose.
You would think people would be concerned about just a part or a piece of hell breaking loose from the rest of hell, like in the movie Pleasantville. It would be like a puzzle missing a few pieces, something would be terribly wrong with the whole picture.
