I just watched “Pleasantville” – finally. Yeah, one of the shows which I have always wanted to watch but never got to… til now!
I dun think I’ll be giving any major spoilers if I just say that the movie is about 2 teenagers who got stuck in a black & white TV series – and how they brought colour into the lives of the people there.
OK – so maybe, the spoiler is quite major. But if you haven’t watched it by now, it won’t matter!
I sorta enjoyed it but won’t rank the movie really high on me list.
But some parts really touched me – especially seeing the little colour bits appearing little by little - and I was brought to recall the lyrics of an old Christian song sung by Sandi Patti which we sang for Christmas many years ago. The song started of like this:-

Can you imagine a world without colour? No blue skies. No red roses. No red, orange and yellow of autumn. No green fields. No redheads. No 7-coloured rainbows. No brown eyes…
Well, we dun have to imagine it – cuz it was not meant to be that way. Thank God. Literally!

lovely shots! I love the autumn leaves and colourful tea pots especially! This post reminds me of another 2 songs which happen to stuck in my head these few days, what a wonderful world and over the rainbow...
yeah..can't imagine life without colours..

cheers, mate. actually, i'm not too pleased with the teapots pic. it's quite obvious i took it thru the glass window which diminished the colours a little and left some reflection on the glass.
