However, I saw similarities with Alex's life and the people of Pleasantville...(again) the article on simulation. Simulations, like Disney (from that article), are only possible because people actively manipulate their life to fit the mold. Alex's grandfather was oppressed by memory of the most tragic event in modern history. Thus he succeeded for many years in denying his personal narrative with the past. Alex created his own simulation in his adoption of American hip hop culture. Alex thought he knew life, like people in Pleasantville thought they knew life. However, in both cases the people had to confront a difficult reality.
