Afterthought

Whether in TED talks or in American dramas, the book The Wizard of Oz is always mentioned. But I watched it again without any video. After watching it, it didn't feel like the version I had when I was a kid. I remember that there were rabbits and queens. Finally, I conclude that this film is really well-made. In 1939, China may still be a silent film, but the United States is already in color and has the feeling of a science fiction film. But in the end, they still didn't understand the Scarecrow, the Bronze Man and the Lion. They each wanted to have a brain, heart and courage. How can you have all the things you don't already have? Always, not bad.

The Wizard of Oz quotes

  • The Scarecrow: Oh, oh, what's happening, what is it? I can't run anymore. Oh, I'm so sleepy...

    The Scarecrow: Here, give us your hands and we'll pull you along!

    Dorothy: Oh no no, please, I have to rest for just a minute. Toto, where's Toto?

    [she falls down, asleep]

    The Scarecrow: Oh you can't rest now, we're nearly there!

    [Tin Man starts crying]

    The Scarecrow: Don't cry! You'll rust yourself again!

    The Cowardly Lion: Come to think of it, forty winks wouldn't be bad...

    [he sags]

    The Scarecrow: [trying to hold him up] Don't you start too!

    The Tin Man: [grabbing him] No! We'd better try and carry Dorothy!

    The Scarecrow: I don't think I could... but we could try!

    The Tin Man: Let's!

    The Scarecrow: Yes!

    [the lion collapses]

    The Tin Man: Oh, now look at him! This is terrible!

    The Scarecrow: Here, Tin Man, help me!

    [they tug at Dorothy]

    The Scarecrow: Oh, this is terrible! Can't budge her an inch! This is a spell, this is!

    The Tin Man: It's the Wicked Witch! What'll we do? Help! HELP!

    The Scarecrow: It's no use screaming at a time like this! Nobody will hear you!... Help, HEEEEELLLLP!
