Pleasantville by Christie Ulloa SHOT - Setting In a world that is too good, any minor infractions committed are immediately punished. In hospital room 264, Emely witnesses and celebrates the death of a criminal. Int. scene - description Emely strolls into Saint Joseph’s Hospital with a smile on her face. She notices all the people around her. As she sees that all of the people are either missing limbs or are covered with white bandages, her smile grow larger. Nurse Welcome to Saint Joseph’s Hospital! How can I help, help, help you? Emely (happily) I;m here to visit my sister, Sarah Chavez! Nurse Chavez? What was her offense? It’ll be much easier to locate her. Emely Oh, no! No offense committed. She’s just having …show more content…

That way I could actually distinguish whether it’s 8 AM or 8 PM. Nurse (shocked) You want darkness! Why on earth would you want such a depressing thought in the air? Imagine if the sun actually went away? There’d be no sunshine all the time. Who would want this? They should be, well-well, they should be shot! A group of police officers and security guards turn their heads towards Emely and the nurse. Emely (smiling brightly at the group of onlookers) Of course that’s true. I was only joking. I just recently watched a horror movie about an alternate universe. It was scary. For twelve hours of the day, it was dark. People got away with saying rude things. They were allowed to do anything. There was an orderly in a hospital talking on his cell phone, and he didn’t even get his hand cut off! Anyways, this just reminded me of that movie. Nurse Well, next time keep in mind that jokes are supposed to bring more happiness. Now hurry along. A baby’s coming. Emely made her way towards room 264. On the way, she sees an actual orderly with his hand cut off. She smiles, knowing that justice was served when he was caught talking on the phone in the hospital. …show more content…

I like to believe that she’ll be going on to a better place. Emely (frustrated) What? No! You have to help her. She’s my sister. Doctor (serious) I’d watch the volume of your voice. You don’t want me to call security over to surgically remove your voice box, do you? Emely I apologize. I’m just really nervous. I shouldn’t have raised my voice, but I will turn myself in and take my punishment. Doctor It’s quite all right. I’m a good citizen, so I wont report you this time. Emely Thank you! So what exactly is wrong with Sarah? Doctor (chuckling) Well, she’s hemorrhaging. We can’t stop it. It almost looks like a marvelous red rainbow painting the sky. I’m quite certain that she will die on the table, but let’s try to think positive thoughts. After an indefinite amount of time, Sarah finally gives birth to a healthy baby boy. Sarah (to Emely) I’m so happy this is all over! I’m just sad that after all this work, I’m still not going to be a mother. Emely Sarah! You should be proud of yourself. That devil baby gave you a hemorrhage. At least we know now that he’s a criminal. Imagine the horrors he could do if he were allowed to grow up. Be grateful we found out early.

    I assumed that each color would have an individual meaning, but as the film progressed I realized that color as a whole had a much deeper connotation. Through the usage of color, the movie was able to tackle major social issues, which are deeply rooted concerns in cultures and society everywhere. Namely, the element of change - as interpreted from the film's constant stress on the town of Pleasantville's morals. Including the symbolism of sin, as many of the non-colored feared.

    Through two metal, cold doors, I was exposed to a whole new world. Inside the Gouverneur Correctional Facility in New York contained the lives of over 900 men who had committed felonies. Just looking down the pathway, the grass was green, and the flowers were beautifully surrounding the sidewalks. There were different brick buildings with their own walkways. You could not tell from the outside that inside each of these different buildings 60 men lived. On each side, sharing four phones, seven showers, and seven toilets. It did not end there, through one more locked metal door contained the lives of 200 more men. This life was not as beautiful and not nearly as big. Although Gouverneur Correctional Facility was a medium security prison, inside this second metal door was a high wired fence, it was a max maximum security prison. For such a clean, beautifully kept place, it contained people who did awful, heart-breaking things.
