Tbh i am genuinely not surprised that things were like this back in the 1930s but i definitely wish that people could've just hired crazy acrobats in movies so that so many people wouldn't have to be on the brink of death
Yeah it's crazy! with the use of the toxic makeup, the dangers were already known at that time. But they put the actors through it because it would look better for the film
The acrobats wouldn’t be safe either the actual set was doomed 😂 broomsticks exploding wires snapping fire exploding into peoples face now acrobatic Firefighter makes alot more sense
A munchkin did they hung themselves if you search up the munkin hanging the wizard of oz there’s videos were you can see it in the background this black rocking body because it was so tramumatising.
Response to Margarett Hamilton being burned, and realizing she'd be sued if she complained, "I think that sums up hollywood....." Not just hollywood, it pretty much sums up all workers rights in the 1930's especially when it comes to woman and other groups in society didn't really have a lot of ability to speak up for themselves. It isn't as though people were being treated great at the time in factories or coal mines.
My favorite bit of movie lore is the synchronicity between Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of Oz, a psychedelic coincidence for recreational drug users in the 70’s. My least favorite Wizard of Oz fact is the paradox that 14-year-olds in Iowa can legally drive, buy Galaxy gas, sip synthetic lean, work at a slaughterhouse, yet cannot check out the book Wicked from their high school library due to book bans and censorship. A really great video for sure and The Wizard of Oz is a stark reminder of the exploitative nature of the Hollywood system.

These conditions were horrible but we can’t look at the past with disdain. This was the normal back then. We just have to be grateful that people found a way to make everything better and that we don’t need to risk people’s lives over making a movie.
25:55 I kinda get why they didn’t want her. Imagine dying in that lions suit and scarecrow and then you have this unknown actor that could either make it great or fail it all all that effort for nothing that’s probably why they’re mad.
This poor girl she had to do drugs diets smoking at such a young age and this probably made her look beautiful and good so that’s probably why a lot of people tried to grope her. Judy didn’t deserve that she didn’t know the price of getting the lead role.
Recently, I was watching Wizard of Oz-related content on UA-cam, and I came upon this video, hence found your channel for the first time. It watched it and reacted so hard when I learned a lot more things from it, and I was quite appalled with much trauma that all the cast members went through in making this *cursed* classic. It can't imagine how much of a fiasco that production had created. Still, since this movie was made during the earliest generation of filmmaking, all studios could learn a lot from their mistakes. And even though performing on set will always be dangerous in general, especially for stunt doubles, the advancements of filmmaking, technology, and safety mechanisms will surely lessen the more risks in productions. Therefore, it's always worth sharing about what was discussed in this video as it serves as a "PSA" to viewers that "the grass is not always greener on the other side." Like the saying goes, "we'll never know what others are going through." Still, I really love this video as it shows that you put a lot of work and research towards producing this video. I also enjoy the style and your expressions for these types of informative as it certainly captures the viewers' attention when you're speaking in front of the microphone. Keep up the great work, and I can't wait to see more of your content really soon!! 🤍 Cheers!
The alcohol really made me mad like the witch got burned but at least she was kind but why would he grab her hand like girl what happened. 😞😞😞😳😳😳😳litterly this is so sad that this happens to ALL OF THEM! Like what the heck were they doing this is just so insane. Like did just Hollywood not care cause this is torture.
Yes, it was a nightmare to make and kinda suprised they didn't abandon it. Its also tragic for all the trouble they cut out like 5 songs( including trimming down songs) and bits of dialogue/ visuals didn't make sense. Still, a beloved masterpiece. They should have tied the best supporting Actress with Margaret Hamilton. I probably would have thought of suing if I was here. Careerwise, it would have been over in those days.
That’s so cruel why would they make the lights so bright if they put 90 pounds of lion skin on somebody and why was Dorthy treated so horribly why would the guy touch the wicked witches nerves like what
actually, judy was close with jack haley, ray bolger and bert lahr, they stood up for her when she was hit and when others abused her, ray bolger and her went on to do interviews later on with a good relationship
I live in England and when I was in primary school I used to have to read a story called "The Cyclone". it was about a girl and her family (her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em). A cyclone was going towards her house so they all went into a cellar - a cyclone cellar, but dorothy didn't make it. she was swept away with the house and thats when she landed in Oz. however the story didn't even mention that, nor did it mention it was a part of the Wizard of Oz, I only found out when I was about 10-ish that it was actually connected since that was when I first watched the Wizard of Oz. People also call what lifted the house into the air it a "Tornado" but it was actually a Cyclone.
I'm honestly glad MGM went into debt and had to sell the majority of the MGM movie library, including the Wizard of Oz, to pay them off. It's been owned by Turner then subsequently Warner Bros since the late 80's, so they personally never made money from the film from that point on. They missed out on all the money from streaming, DVD and Blu ray sales, as well as some VHS purchases. And Amazon, who owns what's left of MGM (including all the Bond films), won't be getting much of a sales boost as much as WB, thanks to the current Wicked hype.
yeah the tornado scene had a dark history as well, some of the cast members on set that day who were filming and recording reported coughing up black stuff and lots of thick mucus for days on end afterwards. it was due to the all that dust they used for the effects.
@ its true, my mom works on a lot of investigations and she found that is was true and he might have done it because judy rejected him after he asked her out
Check your resources. The Wizard Of Oz was shot with many Jewish people involved while the Nazi Regime was on it´s hight. Do anti-semitic theories ring a bell for you..?
When it was Halloween, I dress as the scarecrow I did sweat a lot and it was itchy, but it was worth it for the bubbles and the candy. You can get it on the cruise.
I was watching at the beginning and saying omg what are they but then.........hearing about dorthey and thinking why would they treat her like this she was only sixteen and I just feel like that's the sad truth that could happen to a women
The director caused everyone and everything to break or be in pain the director has to know it can’t be perfect or sometimes there might be some consequences to the scenes😮😊
Hollywood doesn't want you to know, you do realise they are on commentary of the dvd and blu ray official releases and on the making of, most of these issues that happened are well known
The vhs of the munchkin hanging is not a lie. I saw the movie on VHS as a preteen, I'm 41 now, and it really did look like a munchkin hanging. The version with the bird doesn't even look the way it used to when I saw it.
Just discovered your channel here, Marina. Your elocution and charisma is off the charts amazing. I'm transfixed by your loveliness. So I subscribed! I look forward to hearing and seeing more from you in the future. You have the voice of an angel and the ultra-radiant beauty of a goddess.
Another amazing upload! I watched this movie as a teen and never knew these things. I had some idea about the lack of health and safety and mistreatment of women but I never knew it was this bad!! I'm gonna watch this movie once again keeping in mind the things that you said. These actors literally put their blood and sweat in the making of this film which makes this movie more of a masterpiece in my eyes. Also, both my chemistry and biology teachers would be very proud of you for your correct pronunciation of Aluminium and mesothelioma. I have one question tho, my girlfriend also watched this video, is it okay if i still call her my munchkin? 😅
ALLOWMINION? What the heck? Oh, these Poor people going through Work for the Work/job back in those Poor days. Sorry, this seems to be just slightly exaggerated in so many ways.

cruel is a better word for that
It's a miracle that nobody died on set thank goodness. Those people went through pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥 putting this film together.

The changed it to make it a big bird

Omg no way
Omg your grandfather is so legend
Wowwwwwwwwweee
I’m so sorry
You are so good at these videos I really thought I knew everything but then I was like oh…
Iv watch many reviews about the Wizard of Oz, but yours by far has been the best. Great Job and Thank You❤
