The Bliss of Mrs. Blossom (1968)
Dizzy
I absolutely despised this film. It was a fluff and swirly colors that did not entice me in the least. Well acted? No. Well directed? No. Interesting story line? No. All this film was was a psychadelic blast of bright colors and a mess of awful 60's furniture. Basically, Mrs. Blossom gets pleasured by a horrid man who loves in the attic of her and her husband's funky house. If you ever dare to view this film, be prepared to get dizzy by ridiculous film angles and nauseating colors. You have now been warned.
Pleasantville (1998)
a visual masterpiece
Pleasantville, directed by Gary Ross, was a beautiful ride through time. Not only was this film well acted and well directed, but it had a remarkable story line and it was visual perfection. This film integrates color into the picture with absolute technical mastery. It is almost like The Wizard of Oz when the color literally explodes out of the screen. Prejudice and racism are dealt with as well throughout this film. The people who remain black and white will not allow the people who have turned color into their businesses or drink from their water fountains. These "colored" people cannot help the way they look and they are suppressed by the rest of the "black and white" society. The end of the film pulls everything together when two colored people are on trial and they manipulate the rest of the town to turn colored. I love the fact that nobody can turn color until they find something that they are truly passionate about, whether it be sex, art, music, or literature. Overall, this film is a true visual masterpiece with a new and interesting story line.
