Admirable film.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
The Wizard Of OzIt is one of those cult classic features that happen to have everything in the right place; from characters to performance and from script to execution. The adaptation is short and smart that covers up every essential information and emotion from the novel and helps connect easily with the audience. Victor Flemming has done a decent work on executing the tale and it works for the major part of it because of his affection and passion towards conveying the right message. The performance is not outstanding but definitely admirable, especially when on creating comic sequences. The Wizard Of Oz not only works as a whole project, but score majestically on technical aspects too like costume design, production design, background score, choreography and songs that helps celebrate it on such large scale.
The wizard of oz was a production ahead of its time. With the special effects of the tornado the real likeness of the tin man audiences are never bored. With catchy songs that are heart warming and Judy seeing her family in each of the characters you can't help but think there is no place like home.
By far one of my favorite movies since I was a young child, the script and plot of the movie is one of a kind. Garland does an amazing job of portraying Dorothy, and the songs are just those kind that stick with you forever.
This movie is convoluted and stupid. Yes, it is a classic, and the fact that it even existed was considered amazing, but as a movie its not that great. There is a lot of stupid in this movie. I know that movies used to have much lower budgets, but the sets in this movie are hilariously cheap. I know that most of this movie is supposed to be a dream, but the story is still dumb and full of holes. Overall there isn't much to say about this movie. It just doesn't hold up.
