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.

The Haunting is kind of interesting. The 1999 remake added some things that weren't in the original. The main antagonist ghost was a child murderer. The one who is trying to uncover this mystery is told repeatedly that she's wrong, is crazy, isn't seeing reality clearly, etc.
It also contains some propaganda that is so insidious, as it was for a long time. The males in the film are all horrific people. The only death is a male. And you have a sexy woman that turns down the man who is interested in her but makes passes towards the woman.
