fun fact: the scarecrow recited the pythagorean theorem wrong. He says that the square root of side A plus the square root of side B equals the square root of side C in an isosceles triangle. In reality, the theorem is this: the square of side A plus the square of side B equals the square root of side C, in a right triangle. I love how this really drives home the point of how effective confidence is. He's totally wrong, but his demeanor has changed.
@@tylerdinkydooamusementmadn6368 Well, that's the thing: the MGM movie isn't the "original." It's the third big-screen version of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," or the fourth if you count a short little cartoon made in 1933. 🙂 But I get what you're saying.
Hurray for Hollywood in 1939 and the making of Gangster movies not long after The Wizard may have been the beginning of the downfall as they really had no redeeming value just violence being glorified.
“And remember, my sentimental friend, a heart is not judged by how much you love but by how much you are loved by others.” Profound and moving.
Scarecrow = Philosopher
Lion = Hero
Tin Man = Philanthropist

"Great thinker" more like for the Scarecrow, I should think. 🙂

It also drives home the point that a diploma is not knowledge. :-)
FUNNER FACT: This is Oz. Things work differently.
i need to learn to roar because im the lion in a play so im watching the lion roar to learn
I played him many years ago and developed my own roar, somewhat reminiscent of Lahr's, but not ripping him off. How did your show go?
It ticks! 😃

What?
There are so many versions of this film. This one is the best of them all.
No, there's just the one.
@@MaskedMan66 I’m talking parodies like Muppets, Phineas and Ferb did a Wizard of Oz parody but nothing tops the original

It's more amazing the propaganda in his words here. Especially in the most spectacular sight back in the black and white days.

Except that it wasn't; all the bad guys got their comeuppance.
Ahhh,but in old Hollywood gangster movies crime did not pay.
Le monk
when does the scarecrow get the gun.
That was several scenes ago, bunkie, when the Tin Woodman got his lug wrench and the Lion got his net and spray can full of Witch Remover.
