I just watched this film for the first time since I was seven years old. It is such a good film, well, okay it is a bit 'cheesy' as it were, but who doesn't enjoy these films? I loved it. It's basically about a geeky brother and... not so geeky sister who end up 'falling' through the tv screen into the popular old tv programme called 'Pleaseantville', where everything is, well, pleasant. Everything is also completely colour blind, there is no danger (no fire, no murders etc), it's just, pleasant. It's also very stereotypical; the husband comes home from work at six pm everynight, walks through the door, hangs his coat and puts his briefcase down and shouts, "hunnie, I'm home!", and dinner is on the plate and the family wait for the father to sit down. It's so silly but I love it. Anyway, this brother and sister turn into the main characters of Bud and Marie-Sue. Jennifer, who has turned into 'Marie-Sue becomes a little rebellious since she does NOT want to be in this silly little town. So, she teaches her friends and her 'boyfriend' how to get jiggy with it and changes the whole of Pleasantville, ahh! And then they all turn colour and live happily every after, blah blah blah. Watch it :)
Anyway, the point of this post is because there is something I also adored about this film, and that was the fashion. Seriously, the fashion. The cute little sweaters; collars, long retro skirts with long socks and sensible shoes, so adorable.
Look at this outfit, inspired by the film. Enjoy.
I'm thinking about doing a shoot based on this aaamazing movie. Hmm.
