The first is to use black and white to represent the real world, and color to represent the oz country. The old version is like this, the new version also adds a widescreen. By the way, the color of the old technicolor film is great! Some people say that the color of oz country is too saturated, which is imitating the color of technicolor.
The second is that all the characters in the oz country can find their prototypes in the real world. The formal counterpoint in the old version is very powerful. For example, the three helpers in the old farm correspond to the three partners of Dorothy in oz country. Even their lines can find a one-to-one correspondence, which is very delicate. The correspondence between the roles in the new edition will not be elaborated. Someone has written before. But the lines are not as good as the old version in terms of labor.
The third is the inheritance of the characters, after all, this is the prequel of the Wizard of Oz. The northern witch Glinda does not say that the "Red Witch" playing with fire is the Western witch in the old version (the personality setting is a little different from the old version). The video player is the Eastern Witch who died at the beginning of the old version (because Eastern and Western Witches are sisters). In addition, Anne said that she was going to marry John Gale. According to oz's age and Dorothy's name, it was inferred that Anne was probably Dorothy's mother.
That's it for the big part, but the small details are quite obvious when you look at them, but now they are forgotten.
Going back to the movie, I am not very satisfied with the movie itself. The script is too weak, it wasted such a good theme, and the director talent of Sam Remy. This kind of movie shouldn't engage in the character development of the characters, it is too fake and unsuitable. After all, this is not a superhero movie. The flat characters in the old version are very pleasing.
In addition, 3D will still skip frames, and fast action scenes will be blurred. We look forward to the popularization of high frame rate 3D. (I really envy those who are not sensitive to frame skipping.)
