I have good news for friends who like the movie "The Wizard of Oz". So far, including The Wizard of Oz in 1939, Return to Oz in 1985, and Oz in 2013. : The Great and Powerful / "The Wizard of Oz" of the three movies, the 14 original novels of The Wizard of Oz, we only used 3 books. According to the average progress of being released every 35 years, the series of movies of The Wizard of Oz can shoot at least 2398 Years, I have to watch, of course, I have to wait.
Disney's Wizard of Oz 3D has a very good effect, especially its depth information is very accurate. Taking the screen as the boundary, the depth of the movie on the inside of the screen is very layered, and from time to time, the convex effect on the outside of the screen is added through the floating snowflakes, so that the overall 3D effect is very good. And Disney has probably considered the shortcomings of 3D production in the concept of this movie, and specially used a large number of bright scenes to make up for the lack of 3D glasses that will reduce the brightness.
The previous black-and-white film part is a tribute to the Wizard of Oz in 1939. The 1939 film also used black-and-white film in the real part and color in the Oz part. The previous part of the film made the character of Oz very vivid and plump, and the shortcomings in his personality were unobstructed. When watching the black and white part, I can't help but think of Walt Disney's earliest Willy Ship animation. It can be said that this part of the black and white film directly killed me and kept my preference for this movie from the beginning to the end.
In the part of Oz, the imagination is magnificent and the colors are bright, almost the brightest 3D movie I have ever seen. The plant music at the beginning was very Disney, and the diving effect was very good. Later, when I flew to Glinda Territory, the scene of the jeweled jungle and the flowers blooming was also very beautiful. The fly in the ointment was that the whole scene was too cartoonish, and the green screen could almost be seen. The traces are seriously lacking in texture, but considering that this is a children's film and a film adapted from a children's novel, it can be said that the flaws are not concealed. The details are also in place. For example, when going down the water, the splash from the hot air balloon basket hitting the water will form a rainbow, and the rainbow will disappear after the splash falls. Since the 1939 movie is a musical, dwarves singing, dancing and blowing trumpets also appear in this movie. The scenes of the yellow brick road and the Emerald City in the back are highly consistent with those of the Wizard of Oz, and even feel more detailed. It is also good to pay tribute to that year. The casting is good. Compared with Glinda in the 1939 movie, Glinda is a confused aunt. This time, the red, green and white witches belong to the more outstanding beauties. The squeezing shape that appeared very early is indeed impressive, compared to the squeeze of the golden armor. Chest, this movie is more beautiful and moving. The image of the black witch is basically the same as the 1939 movie, but the new version can cover significantly fewer parts.
The plot of this movie can be regarded as complicated in children's movies. Good and evil changed twice. One time, the protagonist changed from evil to righteousness. Later, he was even suspected of running away. The other time, the Red Witch changed from righteousness to evil because he was cheated by the Green Witch. It reminds me of many little girls who fall in love. If you don't go along, you will fall for it. Although the plot is a bit complicated, it also has a strong Disney style. This time the match is a prince and princess, and the stepmother has changed into a beautiful sister, which is acceptable. The set is very beautiful, and the white witch and porcelain doll are very beautiful and attractive. There are a lot of back and forth echoes. For example, the monkey in Oz is played by the assistant in front, and the porcelain doll is played by a girl in a wheelchair in front. This echo is also a tribute to the 1939 movie. The Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion are the farmers who work on Dorothy’s farm in reality. There are also a lot of back and forth echoes in the plot. In the front, Oz said that the assistant should be a trained monkey, and really found a trained monkey in the back. The legs of the girl who could not walk were not cured in the front, and the legs of the porcelain doll were cured in the back. Abandoned the hint of the blonde girl in the front, and accepted the love of the white witch in the back. It makes people feel that the whole movie is very complete, and even worthy of aftertaste.
If you regard this Wizard of Oz movie as a review of Disney's strength, in fact, after watching it, I no longer worry about the Disney version of Star Wars. The Wizard of Oz uses the previous black-and-white film to prove that Disney is a sentimental company. It uses a strong grasp of 3D depth of field to prove that Disney’s control of 3D technology is among the best in the world, with a strong Disney style but not the original work. The not-outrageous adaptation proves the ability to control the understanding of the original work and the scale of the adaptation. At least for now, Disney’s Star Wars will be much stronger than the Clone Wars. It will never be a problem to surpass the prequel trilogy in terms of plot. It is nothing more than six reunion of Return of the Jedi, and even this is better than It is much better for some other company to come up with a bloody plot.
What Disney needs now is to prove its grip on the texture of the movie. After all, the previous Tron Legacy was cyberpunk, and the Wizard of Oz was a children’s magic. These two movies are completely different from the texture required for space operas like Star Wars. If Disney can prove its understanding of the texture of Star Wars, then Disney Star Wars will really become the return of the six Jedi, which is a pretty good choice for a space opera that spans several generations and has a rich and expanded universe.
Of course, the above boasting so much does not mean that there is no slot in the Wizard of Oz. The world of Oz belongs to the world of high magic, but there are some restrictions on the release of magic. For example, most people rely on magicians to perform magic, while a small number of people, such as the Red Witch, need anger to perform magic. In addition, the setting of magic with attributes is a bit inexplicable. It can be seen that the red witch has the attributes of fire and thought, the green witch has the attributes of electricity and poison, and the white witch has the attributes of water and wind. Self-flying should be a common ability. However, it stands to reason that in a situation like the Green Witch vs. the White Witch Pikachu vs. the Gynocarp, Pikachu should be okay with the Gynocarp properly, so the result of the White Witch's victory can only be said to be the buff of the protagonist's halo...
Another slot, like China Town being leveled, was not cut... and the hostess also adopted a Little China girl, and he was given treatment or something. It feels like the adoption of American couples in real life. It’s very similar to a Chinese little girl who has a disease and healed the disease...
To be honest, I only watched the ordinary 3D version because of time . I feel that the movie watching experience should be better if I watch the IMAX version, so it’s worth watching the IMAX version. .
