Pleasantville (1998)- Watch the English Movie on Hotstar


Directed by Gary Ross
Starring  Tobey Maguire, Reese Witherspoon
Rated 12+
David and Jennifer are twins but poles apart in character. Jennifer is outgoing and popular while David is an introvert obsessed with an old black and white TV series ‘Pleasantville’. So when an announcement comes over TV that there will be a marathon of Pleasantville that weekend, David is excited. His mother would be out of town that weekend and he could watch it without disturbance. What is more, there would be a contest, the prize being 1000$! Meanwhile, Jennifer invites a boy home that evening to watch a music concert on TV.
In the evening, the twins head towards the living room with their eyes on the TV’s remote control. And what naturally ensues is a fight, the end result being the remote control shattered to pieces on the floor. Then the bell suddenly rings and who should enter, but a TV repair man! He gives them a new remote control and walks out. Again, there is a tug of war and astonishingly, the twins are transported right into the TV, as characters of Pleasantville!!
So how do they get out of Pleasantville, where everything is black and white, where there is no rain or fire, where every road doubles back to the same place, where the books are blank, where firefighters are for rescuing cats and everything is supposedly ‘pleasant’?  And how will the twins influence Pleasantville? Will they bring color to it or not?
Watch the movie on Hotstar.
