A little color

To be in a world where everything is in black and white, where nothing is bright and full, that is a sad place to be. As we saw in the clip from Pleasentville, everything and everyone was black and white and didn't catch the eye or bring any meaning to the dismal town of Pleasentville. Only when the couple went to a garden (aside from the works of art in the very beginning) did people and objects gain color.

Some of the people tried different things to gain that purpose or vibrant color they were seeking but never found it. Others, as we saw later on in the clip, gained color but it unclear as to why they gained color while others stayed plain old black and white. 

I think that one interpretation of this could be to say that those colorful people gained meaning or purpose in their lives unlike the gray people who are still searching. Looking at it through a christian perspective, I believe that this could mean that they gained a relationship with God. 

It's neat to think of God seeing us in such a way. He may see us in black and white, we who live in skepticism, denial or even we who are still searching for a purpose. He may also see others of us in color, those of us who have found meaning or purpose or who have gained a relationship with God. Since we have changed so drastically through our faith we are seen as changed or different or vibrant with color.
