-> Gender roles is one of the biggest themes of the film, dedicated by a society where males are considered to be superior and the woman are lesser than men.
"Where is my  dinner?" "Put on the makeup" and "Betty, Bob would like some of yout great hours d'oeuvre" are some of the expressions that illustrate that.
The men are shown as powerful and important and the woman are portrayed as innocent, insignificant and powerless.

-> Pleasantville is racist. The structure of the main plot  is white. The "no coloreds" sign in the hardware store reminds uns that the fifties was the last decade of legal segregation

The change of the film color (from black-and-white to Technicolor) symbolizes the cultural and people minds evolution in Pleasantville. Insofar as, after Bud (David) and Mary Sue (Jennifer) intervened in the "happiness" of the city, people began to discover things that go completely against their values then as a result of that the color of the city gradually changed as these things were practiced, that is, the more rules are broken , the more colorful the city gets.

The film ilustrates the American values of the 50s really well, specially the stereotypes. It also represents the typical 90s teenager, characterized for the use of radical clothes and action considered "cool" during the 90s.

The people of Plesantville had to follow a bunch of rules that the Mayor created: they were not allowed to go to the library, to paint (Bud even went to court for painting on a street wall), to explore their sexuality and the ones whose color had changed, were seen as inferior. After all, people weren't free.

This film touches on the house wife stereotype, where women stay home taking care of the children and doing household chores, while the husband goes to work and makes money for the family.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the stereotype that stands out in the film is what shows women should stay at home, take care of the children and do the household. Another stereotype that the movie show is that all people have to be equal, and no one can "stand out" against society.

On the TV show, everything was always the same, and no-one really thinked of what they might want to do for themselves. However, with David and mostly Jennifer on the role now, everyone in the town started to pass from black-and-white to Technicolor. And why is that? Because they started to know what emotions are, and the feelings they create on people, and start to think for themselves and try new things.

The movie portrays the lifestyle of all Americans in the fifties: always happy, with a good house, good car, great family ("the American dream") but all looking exactly the same (conformity). It also represents the discrimination that exists in America nowadays, towards people of color and women.

When Bill discovers his love of painting, it corresponds with him falling in love with Betty. She becomes his ideal subject, and he paints a large and colorful nude of her on the window of the soda shop. For Bill, and those other citizens of the town who have become "colored" and are sexually liberated, the mural is a symbol of desire and aesthetics, a positive image meant to celebrate the human form. Additionally, it represents change and female liberation, as Betty has gone from repressed housewife to muse.

Almost everything in this film is a symbol. First, the most obvious one, color, in this film color represents freedom of expression abd thought when a character is colored it means they have accepted who they really are and who they want ro be. Secondly, books, in a world all about old values and conformity it is fitting that books are blank because books represent fantasies, imagination and wondering about the outside world all of which are a  risk to the imposed status quo, it's only when the world starts to gain color that books recover what was written in them. Finally, art, like books and color art is all about expressing one's self and displaying it to the world so it is natural that when Mr. Johnson sees art for the first time it makes something inside him wake up.

Husband and wife: this names were supposed to meant something, because the film shows no relation between the couples. Just functions to each one. But then the "bid beds" showed up. Why? Because a relationship is more that just "You do this and I do that".

They just never thinked of what they would miss if their partner got away. And it was not just the meals and a clean house.
