    The movie Pleasantville is very symbolic. It is a movie that could be interpreted a number of different ways. Most will agree‚ however‚ that the basic point of the movie concerns the subject of change. But we can also see the movie as a modern version of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. From this point of view‚ Pleasantville depicted in black and white represents the cave‚ while color represents the world of enlightenment beyond the cave. Before David and Jennifer become Bud and Mary Sue‚ everything
