Any attempt to redefine the classic "Wizard of Oz" is a huge risk. That risk has also been passed on to other stories in the series. No matter what the filmmakers try, fans will eventually draw comparisons to The Wizard of Oz, and the advancements in technology aren't enough to resist the aroma of aging. The McFarlane model department has successfully launched the dark version of the "Wizard of Oz" model, which fully demonstrates the seductive magic of the dark world, which is eye-opening. It's just that the perverse and slightly provocative character designs are limited to models and have not been made into movies. "The Wizard of Oz" continues to adhere to the Eden route, and the character design basically follows the "Wizard of Oz", which makes people feel more intimate.
Although the artistic setting of "The Wonderland" has a retro tenderness, the effect presented is amazing. The visual effects of this film follow "Alice in Wonderland", and the style is highly unified with "The Wizard of Oz", but it is also full of different magic. The picture when Oz enters the magical realm is exactly the same as that of "The Wizard of Oz", but the realistic magic jungle is full of magic, and it seems more real. Subsequent characters such as flying monkeys and porcelain dolls are even more amazing at the magical charm of high technology. Several three-dimensional effects in the film are quite eye-catching, and many pictures have a feeling of jumping out, allowing the audience to continuously participate in the interaction. No matter the little monster flying away in front of the screen or the big wooden barrel rolling head-on, they are all three-dimensional so that people can hide.
In comparison, in addition to the magnificent and dreamy powerful setting, the character relationships in "The Wizard of the Devil" are more complex, and the characters have grown, so they have stronger drama and visibility. This episode explains the origin of the kingdom of Oz. Magician Oz's growth from selfishness to responsibility is reminiscent of Sam Raimi's previous Spider-Man. Although Oz can neither fly nor have superpowers, his encounters, which are both real and illusory, and various tricks to deal with witches have been tried and tested. The sharp contrast with Oz outside the magic makes the film interesting.
The cast is also quite strong. The acting niche James Franco collaborated with Sam Raimi in "Spider-Man" many years ago, and the brightness killed Spider-Man in seconds. After years of training, Franco has built himself into a "chameleon". The magician Oz played by Franco this time was a character with many shortcomings at the beginning, but with the affinity of his acting skills and appearance, the audience quickly fell in love with this character. Sedora played by Mila Kunis is amazing. Enola, played by Rachel Waits, is only responsible for making soy sauce, but it also makes the film shine. The most eye-catching is Glinda played by Michelle Williams. Michelle, who played Monroe, is still sexy and impressive in this film.
On the whole, "The Wonderland" is a film that can be said to be without major mistakes or impeccable, and the film can basically meet or even break the expectations of all audiences. The only regret is that Oz stayed in the magic kingdom, and the story logic lacks the flavor of "The Wizard of Oz". (The movie is crazy/irritating, please indicate the source for reprinting)
