a little talk

And Tin man said "Now I know I hae got a heart, because it is breaking." It makes me feel sad. How poetic their way to express that they will never forget each other. And from what tin man said, I learn that maybe sometimes you will not find the extistence of something until you lost it. That is sad. As an aside, this reminds me of a famous sophistry of the ancient Greek sophist philosophers. Have you lost your corner? No then you have horns. It's interesting to take advantage of the "not lost is still owned" loop. Ok, now talk something about the wizard of Oz. Though he si title role, I don't have much interests in him. He is just a symbol of hope for Dorothy and her friends. Actully it is funny when the dog Toto opened the curtain and he was found operating the machine to form a illusion that he was great and powerful. However it turned out to be that he was just an ordinary person who do not have the skills of the wizard. It is scatistical. He said happy and forgetting worries, I don't know that old age is coming. Actually he has gaind something from these experience and what touches me is that he is so optimism. And when Dorothy was about to go home, she kept saying, "There is no place like home." Exactlly. If home is in your heart, you never really lost it. So fill our hearts with the love to our home, our family! And there is something interesting attarcted me. The horse of the wizard of Oz can change his color all the time. And so when he said that " That's a horse in a different color!" ,what he means is that it is a totally different condition than before! I have to say that the movie is good because it is good at making something little but amusing, for example, when the lion is disguised in the clothes of a soldier of the wicked witch, he was always trying to hide his disobeed, swing tail.

[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!
The Tin Man: I'll see you reach the Wizard, whether I get a heart or not. Beehive, bah! Let her try and make a beehive out of me!
[snaps his fingers with a clunking sound]
Dorothy: Oh, you're the best friends anybody ever had. And it's funny, but I feel as if I'd known you all the time, but I couldn't have, could I?
The Scarecrow: I don't see how. You weren't around when I was stuffed and sewn together, were you?
The Tin Man: And I was standing over there, rusting for the longest time.
Dorothy: Still, I wish I could remember... but I guess it doesn't matter anyway. We know each other now, don't we?
The Scarecrow: That's right.
The Tin Man: We do.
The Scarecrow: To Oz?
The Tin Man: To Oz.

Dorothy: Goodbye, Tin Man. Oh, don't cry! You'll rust so dreadfully. Here. Here's your oil can.
[kisses him]
Dorothy: Goodbye.
The Tin Man: Now I know I've got a heart, 'cause it's breaking...
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.
