The Wizard of OZ

In my heart, this picture is the Wizard of Oz, into the mind and into the heart

Let me talk about the actors first.

Judy Garland

I got to know about gay icon Judy because Grid got the Oscar last year. In the movie, there is a gay couple who will never give up after her years of life.

"The Wizard of Oz" is one of her masterpieces. I want to know about this diva. I also like this story since I was a kid. (Now think about it, this book is the same as Alice in Wonderland. Is it a bit too weird? I don't know why I like this one, but I am scared of Alice).

One thing that made me sigh, Judy Garland never got an Oscar in his life, but Grid, who played her story, got it.

The whole film should be the original soundtrack of Garland, singing and listening! And only 17 years old! (Every time I talk about the original soundtrack, I think of Fairy Lady and Hepburn...


Then there are three supporting roles. I don't know if the three supporting actors are from musicals or Broadway, and they can sing very well.

Their physical performance is what I think is the most powerful: the scarecrow dances and looks really light and can't walk; the tin dance joint seems to be really stuck. Outside of the fairy tale world, they can "contain" well, performing a few ordinary Kansas farm workers.

Why is ToTo the dog's acting so good! And look at its movie page , it also acted in a lot of movies hh

Quite gold villains, whether their voices are changed or not, it is the same as QQ's voice change... Are all the villains played by children! Do you feel that you have painted older makeup and big head makeup? The three little girls from the Lullaby Association dance really well!

Speaking of villains, from Gref's Travels to Snow White to Middle-earth to One Piece, it is really an essential element.


The point is to praise the director .

The director is the director of Gone with the Wind, and the two films were released in the same year. The director's ideas in the movie can be said to be inspiring, leading in various ways.

[One person with multiple angles]

First of all, there are a large number of one-person multi-actor designs in the movie, which is probably a relatively early practice.

【Special Effects】

The special effects are so good, he was able to do such good special effects in 1939. Tornadoes, smoke, flames... I really feel that it is all right from the current requirements.

tornado

【scenery】

The setting can also be said to be perfect.

The yellow color chosen by the yellow brick road is really trendy.

The scenery of the poppy field and the distant view of the Emerald City are super beautiful in the golden country of Manzhi and the ones who met the scarecrow.

Especially after entering the OZ world, the process of suddenly turning into color is really beautiful. Audiences like me have absolutely no idea about the timing of the change from black-and-white movies to color movies, so they really think it is a black-and-white movie from the beginning. Probably the director also took advantage of this to make the audience more impressed by the fairy tale world of OZ. Fairy tales should be colorful!

After the picture becomes colorful, the focus of the lens is on pink flowers. I think so, flowers are definitely the most suitable thing for color in this world. Then Avatar should have also borrowed from this, but the flowers in Avatar are completely incomparable with this one, so the element of dazzling skills is too strong.

The studio is so big, and each one is different. I'm curious whether to shoot after everything is set up, or to shoot while setting up. It can be seen from a distance that it is a painting.


【Serving the Road】

About clothing. The crowning touch of the story, that pair of Swarovski red crystal shoes (red shoes girl♪) (by the way, the intention of shoes is the core clue here and in Cinderella. Does it have any deep meaning in European fairy tales? ),

Red crystal shoes
looks great?

Dorothy’s blue dress (after the picture turned into color, apart from the very beautiful set of gold, what surprised me most was her blue dress. I just asked myself, have you ever thought that her dress is blue? no),

Skirt beauties are more beautiful

There are also the pink dresses of the northern witches, which are all beautiful, and they are all designed to be completely undefeated now.

Make-up part. Because of the multiple roles mentioned in the previous article, it is important to keep the audience invisible. The vividness of the scarecrow and tin man is more important.


Some other details:

The color-changing horses in the Emerald City are the same as all the drinks that Magada invites Saikawa to drink in F in the four seasons.

Dorothy: Wow, People come and go so quickly here?

The witch writes in the sky, as if there are 101 movie titles using this design.


【Soundtrack】

Over the rainbow! ——It turned out that the soul wanted to scream loudly . It was this song that Angela Chang sang. It turned out that the beautiful cover in the original soundtrack of Judy's movie was this song! Is it finally correct for me?

Open the playback software and found that Over the rainbow covers a lot, then the question is, whether Over the rainbow (1939) wins or The Sound of Music series (1965, My favorite things/Do-Re-Mi/The lonely Goatherd/Something) Good/Edelweiss) Winner?

【Script Adaptation】

The four-person walk in the original story also made me think a lot. The Bremen musicians are also four, and the Journey to the West is also four. About four is a perfect combination number.

The mainstream view is that the director and screenwriter have incorporated fairy tales into Dorothy’s dreams, that is, the world of fairy tales is in her dreams. There is a lot of evidence that echoes back and forth.

The place where the horse echoes back and forth.

(And scarecrow)

-Dorothy, you don't use your head to figure out how to deal with her. I think you have no head at all.
-Of course I have a head.
-Then why don't you use it?
...
-Your head is not made of straw.

and

-I have no brain, only straw.
-How can you speak without a head?
-I don't know, some people are clueless and very good at talking.
-Yes, you are right.

(And lion)

-Listen to me, do you want Miss Gao to do whatever she wants to you? Don't be afraid of her, courage is the most important thing.
...
-Sieg, you are as scared as I am.
-What's going on? Are you scared?

(And tin people)

-Okay, Mrs. Gale, but one day there will be a statue for me in the city.

Miss Gao, who was riding a bicycle while the house was flying, turned into a Western witch;

The basket that Miss Gao wears ToTo and the basket that western witches wear ToTo behind are exactly the same hh, which also allows ToTo to escape both times;

Dorothy scolded Miss Gao:

"You evil witch!";

Professor Ma Wei and his crystal ball and horse, the magician of the fairy tale world;

Dorothy fainted on the bed and woke up in the bed too;

Dorothy to the Scarecrow and Tin Man:

"You are really my best friends. It's weird, I think I knew you a long time ago, but that's impossible, right?...I wish I could remember, but it doesn't matter, right?";

【Lines】

Probably the earliest jumble of the guest of honor? Conversation between Uncle Henry and Miss Gao:

-Mr. Gale.
-Hello, Miss Gao.
-I want to talk to you and your wife about Dorothy right away.
-Dorothy? What did she do?
-My foot was bitten and injured.
-You mean she bit you?
-No, it's her dog.
-Oh... she bit her dog!

Aunt Auntie also laughed a little bit early on Miss Gao:

"Miss Gao, don’t think that you have the power to manage us under the orders of the sheriff. For 23 years, I have been trying to tell you what I think of you, and now,
(Take a deep breath) Well, as a Christian, I still can't tell. "?

Early joke 2:

Scarecrow: Are you going to see the magician? Do you think if I go to see a magician with you, will he give me a head?
Dorothy: I dare not say, but it wouldn't be worse than now without you.
Scarecrow: ...this is true.

?

Early joke 3:

Lion: Come on, come on! Which one should go first? You are willing to go with the two together! I can hit you with one claw, or stand on one foot and hit you with my eyes closed.
...
Tin Man: (to the Scarecrow) Yes, get up and teach him a lesson.
Scarecrow: Wouldn't it be better for you to teach him?
Tin Man: I...I don't recognize him at all.

The witch said that Dorothy was:

The invincible little beauty.

How could a witch boast so much!


About the mind:

Magician: There is a university where I came, which is a sea of ​​learning. Great people can become great wise men when they come in, and become great thinkers when they come out. Their minds are not bigger than you, but they have one thing you don't have: a diploma.
Therefore, according to the rights that I have been granted, it is obtained from the Board of Directors of the Plury Native University. I hereby grant you Dr. TH.
Scarecrow: Dr. TH?
Magician: It's a PhD in thought.

About feelings:

Magician: And you, my tinned friend. You ask for a heart. You don't know how lucky you are to have no heart. Hearts are not practical at all, unless they can be made unbreakable.
Tin Man: But I still want one.
Magician: Going back to where I lived, there are people who do nothing but do good things all day long. They are called phil...philanthropists. But their emotions are no more than you. But they have one thing you don't have, a certificate of praise!
Therefore, after considering your kindness, I am honored to present it to you here as a small souvenir to express our respect and affection. Remember, my metal friend. Love is not judged by how many people you love, but by how many people love you.

...

Now I know that I have a heart because it is breaking.

About courage:

Magician: And you, my good friend. You are a victim of confusion. You are trapped by the illusion that you will run away in the face of danger because you have no courage. You confuse courage and wisdom.
Back to where I used to live, we have a kind of people called "heroes". Once a year, they will parade on the street with dusty perseverance and courage. They are not braver than you, but they have one thing you don't have... a medal!
Therefore, for your brave leadership, extraordinary courage, and outstanding courage, all manifested in the fight against bad witches, I grant you the "Triple Cross Medal." You are now a member of the Legion of Courage.

I have time to sort out the particularly good arias. (Now I can really enjoy music movies

  • [Dorothy, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man watch as the Wicked Witch of the West vanishes into a fireball]

    The Scarecrow: I'm not afraid of her! I'll see you get safely to the Wizard now, whether I get a brain or not. Stuff a mattress with me. Ha!

    Dorothy: Goodbye, Lion. You know, I know it isn't right, but I'm going to miss the way you used to holler for help before you found your courage.

    The Cowardly Lion: [tearfully] I never would've found it, if it hadn't been for you...

    Dorothy: [to Scarecrow] I think I'll miss you most of all.
