Wizard Of Oz Movie Review : The Wizard Of Oz

Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs was Walt Disney’s first full length and animated film. This film is well respected and left an enormous impact on the audience after its first introduction to the film industry. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs used great artwork, characters, and a lasting impression of this fairy tale allowed the viewers to escape the reality of the real world for only a moment. This movie remains a favorite for children and adults of all ages.

In the movie, The Wizard of Oz, when Glinda said “She had to learn it for herself,” the it was that there is no place like home, she loves her family and they love her back, and she is satisfied on the farm. First of all, part of the “it” Glinda was talking about is that there is no place like home. The movie script states, “And I'm not going to leave here ever, ever again, because I love you all! And- Oh, Auntie Em- there's no place like home!” This is one part of “it”. Dorothy has learned that Kansas is her home and that she loves her family. Dorothy says “there’s no place like home,” and that was part of the “it” that she had to learn in order to go home. She needed to know there was no place like home before she could really go home.

Free will is the power to make your own choices without being influenced by others or by people’s ideas, however as members of a community we have a responsibility to each other. We have the responsibility to make people feel welcome and to treat them with respect. Even when someone is broken, they can be fixed and it is our duty as members of the community to help those in need and not to turn the blind eye and forget about it. That is not what Jesus taught, and believe it or not, Jesus is everywhere we turn. We therefore have to understand the difference from right and wrong and should also be able to evaluate and modify our behaviour and actions accordingly.

In “Down Home”, Lucy Montgomery uses personification and imagery to not only provide the reader insight into her ‘safe place’ that she treasures dearly, but to develop the theme that wherever one’s family and ‘safe place’ is, is where their heart is.

Despite her familiarity of life in Kansas, Dorothy wondered what life offered beyond the bounds of her experience as she wondered what life was on the other side of the yellow brick road. "Follow the Yellow Brick Road? But what happens if I..." (Dorothy Gale). "The road to the City of Emeralds is paved with bright yellow brick," said the Good Witch of the North. The Yellow Brick Road represents the path to enlightenment, with the characters encountering a variety of emblems of sin and temptation along the way to the Emerald City. Dorothy then realizes that she can't take this path on alone and she finds companions to accompany her on her

After This causes her to feel very alienated by her own family, in a place she will later realise is home. Dorothy’s companion Toto, is the reason that she was called to this adventure. Toto was getting her

The 1939 Academy were presented on February 29 1940 in Los Angeles California. Nineteen thirty-nine was an exceptional year for movies in face film critics gave labeled it "the greatest year in film history." Furthermore, member as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has a very large number of films to consider. Today only five films were nominees for the honor of "outstanding production" of the year 1939. Although all ten films that were nominated that year are excellent movies, the two best-known of these films The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind remained popular for decades because they were often broadcast on television. You have seen at least of these fils haven't you? It's a coincidence isn't it that both of these films

The Wizard of Oz 's theme is about a girl named Dorothy, unappreciative of what she has at home. In spite of the fact that Oz was a magical place with witches good and bad, wizards and talking animals, Dorothy missed her life in Kansas. She was also saddened that she had forsaken her obligation to care for her aunt back home. The film begins with Dorothy in Kansas. During a terrible tornado, she is unwillingly whipped up and dropped into the land of Oz. Her unforgettable words throughout the movie are, "There 's no place like home." The theme throughout the movie is her desire to return to her typical life in Kansas. (1939).

Glinda lets Dorothy know that to get home she should “follow the yellow brick road” to get to the Wizard of Oz. Dorothy meets the Scarecrow without a brain, and helps him off of his post, the Tin Man without a heart, and oils his rusty joints, and coaxes the Cowardly Lion to join the trip to the Wizard of Oz in hopes that he will grant all of their wishes.

Movies have been made ever since the 1890’s. However, there can only be one, true, best movie of all time. Everyone has their own opinion on it. I believe that The Wizard of Oz, of course the one made in 1939, is the best movie of all time because of ratings, the message it sent to people of all ages, and how well it was put together for a movie made in the early 1940’s.

Out of all the extra circulars that I have participated in being in charge of props for my high school's musical rendition of "The Wizard of Oz" impacted how I viewed myself as a person and a leader. This year was the first year I took part in the backstage for a production, in addition the teachers in charge of the musical had not been in charge of a high school production. As time grew closer to the show the backstage was far behind, due to the fact the new speech teacher was not giving the stage crew any directions and was solely focusing on the show music and acting in the show. Eventually, I was forced to intervene. Many of times I confronted the speech teacher and stood in the way of her running off and getting distracted, it was necessary

This has become an American classic, a symbol of life, good cheer, and faith in family and friends, and the best film director Frank Capra ever made. Nevertheless, it took decades for it to become as popular as films go before it firmly represented the American ideals, and admiration of the American audience. Prior to the 1970s, the little known movie known as It’s A Wonderful Life (1946) starring James Stewart was nearly forgotten completely, until Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and other TV stations started showing this remarkable film during the Christmas holiday. “To the amazement of TV program directors, the audience for the film grew and grew over the years, until now many families make it an annual ritual” (Ebert 229).

In the summer of 1939, the magical movie The Wizard of Oz was released from Hollywood.

In The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy, although she did not know, already had what she wanted the whole time. “Everything you were looking for was right there with you the entire time.” This is something that the Wizard told Dorothy. Throughout the whole story, Dorothy was looking for a way to return to Kansas, little did she know, the solution was on her feet. “If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I shouldn’t look any farther than my own backyard.” This is something that Dorothy said. What she means is that what she was trying to look for the whole time, was not far away from her at all. So Dorothy is saying that you do not need to go on a huge journey just to find your dream/wish. “You always had the power, my dear, you just had to learn
