The true meaning of "The Wizard of Oz"

An inexplicable hurricane blew Dorothy and her puppy from Kansas into the air and landed in the far eastern United States. This simple and kind-hearted little farm girl set foot on the road paved by gold bricks and set off to the wonderland called "Oz" or "ounce" (a unit of measurement of gold). On the way, she met the scarecrow representing American farmers, the tin man representing American workers, and the cowardly lion symbolizing the U.S. Senate. In the story, it is the magicians and witches who only worship gold who control the financial mechanism of the Emerald City. In the Emerald City, people must wear green glasses with gold buckles.
At the end of the story, all kind-hearted people only need to expose the fraudulent practices of magicians and witches, and in the world of gold and silver double-standard currency system, the world can be peaceful, happy and prosperous. The farmer’s scarecrow found himself so clever; the lion found courage; the worker tin man also gained a new source of strength, an alloy tool, a silver blade, a gold axe, and a silver oil tank studded with gold and jewels. , He will never rust. "No place is like home!" Dorothy's sigh moved audiences all over the world. ——Reproduced from "My Caizhi Cinema"

    75 years later, it is still charming. No matter how remakes and special effects are improved in the future, Judy Garland's singing voice that fits so well can't be replicated. Today, I learned that "Over the Rainbow" was originally from the movie "The Wizard of Oz"

    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 Screen)
