Answer to Question #283068 in Philosophy for Huz

Question

What role, if any, do you see autonomy, knowledge, rationality, freedom, and choice playing in the movie? Pleasantville

Answer 1

Autonomy, knowledge, rationality, freedom, and choice play a significant role in the Pleasantville Movie. They facilitated the use of color in Pleasantville which indicates self-actualization. That is why there are some significant reasons why Jennifer remains uncolored. Everything in the play is illuminated. It can be inferred when comparing the characters’ voyages in the movie to Plato’s Metaphor of the Cave. When used in the film, black and white create an almost imaginary ambiance, a sensation of tone, and sturdy distinctions, and an almost surrealism hallucination of the universe. It can create a documentary feel both extra authentic as in period-accurate movies and photography and ghostly as in computer-created graphics, reality life is in color.
