    In fact, seeing what the scientist said at the end when he awarded the Scarecrow a diploma, gave a loving alarm clock to the Tin Man, and gave the Lion Man Medal, I was thinking that this is not a simple children's movie. It first appeared during the economic crisis in 1939 and World War II. It not only alluded to the American social environment at the time, and used individuals to symbolize different social groups, but also satirized some ridiculous social norms-people with brains are not...

    I have read picture books when I was young, and I am familiar with the scarecrow without the brain, the tin man without the heart, and the short lion. The stalk of the Wizard of Oz often appears in other film and television works, but I have never seen this classic movie of 39 years. Now it seems that although the setting is rough, it still has the beauty of a fairy tale. Only a while ago did I know the icon status of this movie in lgbt history. Dorothy's non-discriminatory attitude towards...

    The conversion between black and white reality and colorful fairyland is quite amazing. After getting through the embarrassment of putting on a puppet outfit and over-saturated colors, I feel the warmth of this story, and then I am surprised that this is actually a work during the inter-war period. . The greatest magician has no magic, so much inspiration. Of course she prefers Dorothy's tolerance, love for dogs, and the moment when she discovers her own...

    [BAMPFA] 2018.1.20.3:30pm The moment of color change still has an impact today. The fantasy of young girls leaving home and "home is the best place", this kind of reconciliation is Hollywood's charm and its constant...

    Show off the 3D version I watched! Contracted my happiness and warmth this season! I discovered that the Wicked Witch actually came from the Wizard of Oz! The girl who has been to the Wizard of Oz in childhood, the girl who loves courage and humor in her dreams, should be fearless when she grows...

    Re-watching, I saw some cult flavors. The scene of the Southern Witch being pressed under the house and wearing ruby ​​shoes is still so shocking. There is also over the rainbow, the cedar trees and poppy garden that I didn’t pay attention to before, Tin Man’s MJ "Smooth Criminal), the great master’s irony. Everyone is so cute and laughs all the time. It’s so good! If in the future I have a puppy and I want to be called Toto! (Film Festival, 3D, Dolby, Giant...

    The presentation of dreams is absolutely beyond the times, and the production of the set has reached the limit of studio shooting. Director Fleming also had "Gone with the Wind" in the same year, which is...

    When I was a child, the story that I had watched many times reappeared on the big screen. When I was young, I read it only as a mere fairy tale. Now it seems that in addition to the analysis of dreams, there is also equal support for marginalized people and gay groups (the lyrics of over the rainbow and come out), making them realize that they already have "Mind", "Mind" and "Courage" covered by fear. At the same time, it created a generation of gay icon Judy...

    A classic among the classics, comparable to Gone with the Wind, but we forgot about it. It was released a bit earlier than Gone with the Wind. Jialan’s good singing voice made me unforgettable for a lifetime, and the pair of red magic shoes Let me be unforgettable, Judy Garland has become my...

    The structure of dreams and journeys


    The composition of almost all movie stories depends on the structure (frame) or narrative form (Form) of the story. The combination of structure and content forms a complete narrative system, forming a smooth narrative logic. Take "The Wizard of Oz·1939" as an example. The main structure of the...

The Wizard of Oz quotes

  • Dorothy: Oh will you help me? Can you help me?

    Glinda: You don't need to be helped any longer. You've always had the power to go back to Kansas.

    Dorothy: I have?

    The Scarecrow: Then why didn't you tell her before?

    Glinda: Because she wouldn't have believed me. She had to learn it for herself.

    The Tin Man: What have you learned, Dorothy?

    Dorothy: Well, I, I think that it, that it wasn't enough just to want to see Uncle Henry and Auntie Em. And it's that if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with. Is that right?

    Glinda: That's all it is.

  • Dorothy: You ought to be ashamed of yourself, frightening him like that when he came for you to help!

    The Wizard of Oz: [booming voice] Silence, whippersnapper! The beneficent Oz has every intention of granting your requests!

    The Cowardly Lion: What's that? What'd he say?

    Dorothy: Oh, come on.

    [pulls the Lion up]

    The Cowardly Lion: Huh, what'd he say?

    The Wizard of Oz: [booming voice] But first, you must prove yourselves worthy by performing a very small task. Bring me the broomstick of the Witch of the West.

    The Tin Man: But if we do that, We'll have to kill her to get it.

    The Wizard of Oz: [booming voice] Bring me her broomstick, and I'll grant your requests. Now, go!

    The Cowardly Lion: But... but, what if she kills us first?

    The Wizard of Oz: [booming voice] I said GO!

    [the Cowardly Lion jumps with fright and running of the Wizard's throne room, jumps out of the window]
