Movie Review, “The Wizard of Oz” (1939)



Movie Review, “The Wizard of Oz” (1939)

2 statements don’t belong together- 1) “nobody’s perfect” and 2) “absolute masterpiece”.  Which statement can I go with?  I think it’s the 2nd.  Granted there’s plot holes to consider such as the coroner not having really checked the dead witch of the east and the whistling robot who cries emotionally with no heart.  Metaphors become conflicting under the film’s presentation showcasing the great dynamics concerning brains, hearts, manes, and a home located in spacy land during a tornado storm.  Was the tornado continuing to crash into buildings while Dorothy walked on the yellow brick road?  These are plot holes- it’s a perfect, absolute example of discord at work: chaos, magic, and wicked tricks.  The monochrome film has a kind of chocolate texture to it.  History of film brings us to awareness of how different films contributed to the monochrome aspect.  Indeed, even the colorful scenes in “The Wizard of Oz” are actually still monochrome film with bouncy features of shading effects.  Actors come up and down.  The wicked witch of the west is really known to be evil due to her revenge over her dead sister; in fact, she’s evil, not so much because she’s avenging her sister’s death, but because she’s been torturing and harming the munchkins with her sister before and just herself after Dorothy’s event of the clashing house that led to the sister’s death.  In other words, the western witch wanted to avenge the eastern witch.  How could this exactly make sense?  Unfortunately we’re looking at actors who get into trouble with themselves way more than we can get ourselves into.  Artists make inanimate objects talk in fiction to arouse us for awareness when the expression is healthy, innocent, and good-natured.  To this day, “The Wizard of Oz” has a raw quality to the voicing.  I’m more literate of Wizard of Oz than of Lady Gaga.  Why?  Since I grew up with Wizard of Oz, and, I’m now 33 years old because of my birthday, and, Lady Gaga started releasing very profitable music long after I was born, there’s truly no comparison.  Not to mention that Wizard of Oz has been a vivid, conceptual fairy tale for over a century.  Dramatic effects can be viewed in abstraction.  Scarecrow walks funny, lion roars funny, robot whistles funny, and Dorothy talks funny as a little girl.  The real, actual future there was for “The Wizard of Oz” was the true nature of humanity until now; that is, the real future was not the mass of false opinions, but nature as it happened to be in existing occurrences.
