Today I have seen the movie ?Pleasantville?. Two young people get absorbed into a 50?s TV-soap. All is black and white. Sex is an unknown concept, everyone got along swell, and life was fairly easy. There even doesn?t exist rain. It is a sort of paradise-like situation. Everyone is playing their roles. Husbands get home from work: ?Hello honey, I?m home? and wifes prepare dinner. Everything repeats itself. No changes allowed.
When we first see Pleasantville's citizens, all of them are colorless stereotypes. As they begin to open up and become real people, color seeps into their world. Maybe watching this kind of movies opens up the closed witnessmind. Maybe they see similarities with their borglike environment.
Another great movie to give to our witness friends is The Virgin Suicides. In my opinion an eye-opener to see how rigid rules forced upon kids and youngsters leads to disaster. Can any witness miss the absence of freedom in their own households?
And to end with... what about The Elephant Man (based on a true story)... A man with a serious facial deformation... used and abused by greedy men (showing him in freak shows, ...). Another one to rethink our ?Creator? and his so-called ?Perfect is his activity? (Deuteronomy 32:4)
Freedom has a price. The world where we live in.
Maybe you have other movie tips?
