Best Answer

The movie Pleasantville was black and white because the protagonist was a fan of the TV show that the movie is named after. The show was from the 1950's, when there was not color TV yet. Therefore, when he and his sister were transported into the plot of the show, they were also surrounded by black and white. The plot involves their world slowly shifting to color as the characters are introduced to the ideas of social changes.

Historically Pleasantville tackles the issue of racism and bigotry. The town starts getting upset with the introduction of "color" and starts treating those with color differently than the ones in black and white. They even begin burning books which ties back to Nazi Germany. It ties back to many issues that people sadly are still struggling with today.
