Watched Pleasantville again the other day and was struck by how similar the world turning into color is to a liberal opening their eyes to the deception by the big media, double standards, self serving politicians, etc. The key in the lock moment is not the same the ones in the movie or for us here today. But once the light has been turned on everything looks different.

Well, one girl had lots of sex but didn't change to color - that happened when she read a book, the guy from the diner changed when he saw an art book and started painting. The main character changed when he defended his mother from a bunch who were going to assault her and his father turned when he admitted he loved his wife. Then the mayor (?) turned when he lost his temper.
Everyone in the movie is a lefty. It was made 20 yrs ago and the red pill movement wasn't even a thing, at least as we see it today.
And it encouraged eating a hearty breakfast (though no one changed into color from that).
