As "The Wizard of Oz", the prequel to the classic film in the history of the film, this film pays tribute to the previous work in terms of content, symbolism, and shooting techniques. In this case, the two films have to be analyzed together.

There are many discussions on the shooting method of "The Wizard of Oz", such as the correspondence of characters, the contrast of colors, etc. in the first short black and white shot and the color world after that, so I won't go into details.

Both films are about the protagonist's adventures in Oz, although the purpose is different, Dorothy longs to go home, and Oscar wants to be the king of Oz, but their inner adventures are the same, both completed from children. to adult baptism. Oh, I know Oscar is an adult, but he avoids responsibility and plays with the world, isn't he still in a childish state?

If nothing else, my most beautiful movie of the year this year belongs to "OZ". Oz's dream and splendor restore a perfect fairy tale world.

In fact, what saddens me the most about this movie is that growing up feels so bad.

Oscar made a friendly gesture to Sedora, just because of his habit of courting girls. At this time, he was still in the game state of Oz, and he didn't even love Sedora at all. However, Sedora, who longed for love, believed it and gave her affection, but was deceived and injured. Because of love and hatred, she destroyed herself, which was heartbreaking. If you look a little further, in "The Wizard of Oz", in Dorothy's story, Oscar, once handsome and humorous, has become a stern, moody and smelly old man, his request to Dorothy is to kill the bad witch, which is Was the former Sedora because he couldn't bear to watch Sedora's fall again? How did he become such a stinky old man?

Look, OZ was supposed to be a good fairy tale.

Oskar, Oz's bar mitzvah is an adventure with no turning back.

    The real body TT of the goddess Mira is generally young and mediocre, but there are several intentions in it, such as the assistant and the monkey, the disabled girl and the porcelain doll, the true love and the white witch. People are disgusted. The special effects are very good, it's a pity not to go to the theater to see it.

    The film for young mentally handicapped children, even the little boy sitting behind me complained to his mother after watching it, it was so ugly. Apart from beautiful 3d graphics, there is really nothing else. . . Fu Lanlan has a wrinkled face, bad hairstyle, no humor, and even the supporting monkey porcelain doll is not funny at all, but it's not a comedy at all, so bear with it.
