Details that cannot be ignored in "The Wizard of Oz"

I think a good movie requires careful attention to details and story logic. I have to say that the childhood classic "The Wizard of Oz" is such a good movie.

At the beginning of the movie, Dorothy complained to Aunt Aunt and Uncle because her dog Toto was beaten by Miss Gao. However, the two adults were busy and wanted her to go away immediately. The second time Dorothy told Aunt Gao that Miss Gao was about to deal with Toto, Aunt Aunt just asked her to "find a place that won't cause trouble". These two actions caused Dorothy to want to go "outside the rainbow, blue sky". "Above", and "Wonderland" is just such a place. In the Emerald City, you can notice the horses tied to the carriage, changing colors like a rainbow.

When Dorothy met the Scarecrow and the Iron Bucket Man, she said, "It's strange, I think I've seen you before." Because of the other three protagonists in the film: the Scarecrow, the Iron Bucket Man, and the Lion. Corresponding to the three workers on the farm. Hunt persuaded Dorothy that she should use her brains instead of being filled with straw, but in a blink of an eye she smashed her hand with a hammer; Dorothy fell into the pigpen, and Sieg picked her up and was scared to death; the other one The workers boasted that the square would erect a statue for themselves in the future, but no one paid any attention to him.

Miss Gao was bitten by Dorothy's dog and brought a basket specially to dispose of (kill) her dog. As a result, the dog jumped out of the basket halfway and ran away. In Wonderland, the witch also grabbed the dog and put it in the basket, but Toto jumped out of the basket again and ran away.

The greatest wizard in the Emerald City actually has no spells at all, just like Professor Ma Wei, whom Dorothy met before, telling you that there is no magic at all in the future with a crystal ball.

The film uses black and white and color to make a sharp contrast between reality and dreams: in reality, Dorothy is restrained and not understood by adults, she feels lonely and helpless; in dreams, she becomes the savior, has friends, and can do what she wants. . The same shot is more casual in reality, and everyone is narrative. The dreamland has a strong stage style. The actors' lines and costumes are carefully arranged, and the traces of artificial carving are obvious, and there are many singing and dancing.

But even so, on the whole, "The Wizard of Oz" is still a classic fairy tale movie, and the influence of the story and the movie is very far-reaching. I hope that every child will gain the mind, courage and love for others in the process of growing up. I also hope that everyone will not forget: the warmest home.

    Fairy tales will make children believe that besides what they see, there is another world out of the ordinary. However, most Chinese parents try their best to make their children understand that what they think is not true and that what they think is useless. They always yelled not to let their children lose at the starting line, and they didn’t know that in their childhood with witches, scarecrows and Dorothy, children didn’t need to run competitions. They should sing songs, jump their feet, and walk on yellow bricks. Block paved path
