The message of Wicked seems to be that wrong treatment makes people evil, but that's not true. All humans do both good and bad, we all need God's forgiveness and grace.
The book "The Sociopath Next Door" has a powerful message: the sociopath's favorite tool is pity. They all blame others and seek pity to disguise their own feelings and behavior. A socipath's real problem is their own self-hatred - which they project onto others. It's an addictive cycle. Harming others gives them a temporary emotional high, and they get depressed and angry when the high goes away. Then they feed their self-hatred and rage, to justify another episode of harming someone to get that high again.
Did anyone else notice how Russell humbly checked his own sin just before the 6:00 mark in the video? He was bashing Jeff Goldblum and right after he finished, he said "Hmm, that was jealousy". I really liked the old Russell Brand but absolutely love the new one! In fact, I just watched "Get Him to the Greek" last night with a whole new perspective. Thank you for your share Russell!
I love that self realization you shared when you brought up Jeff n then said "oh, that's jealousy" ❤ and that is how you transmute jealousy into humility.
That is what I believe. We are given opportunities by God - and our own souls to choose. It's not what happens to us that matters, it's our response. Do we choose Love or anger and ultimately, hate?
@@barbarablair91 Where ? In my life, multiple times, i have been given the choice, follow Christ or leave. I have always chosen Christ. I disagree... choice is instrumental to following Christ, especially now when we have all kinds of earthly distractions. Christ's path is always a choice.
Depends what your standard of wicked is. Most humans, without some form of intervention beforehand, will steal food when hungry. The only reason people dont inherrantly do wicked things is because established culture intervenes almost automatically before they are capable. But it's important to note that in such a person's mind, there is no "wicked" or good actions. They are simply choices of survival, no morals are involved.
During the season when most of us are celebrating the birth of our Savior..the two top US movies are about Witch’s and Santa being Satan. Spiritual War.
You identifying jealousy was so refreshing please continue doing that people need to make that type of thinking a part of daily life. Such a small action so inspiring please always do that
i have no idea why it's getting so much heat. not seeing anything unusual from the trailer, just a regular "rags to riches", "zero to hero" tale. is it something to do with the "identity" of the person that they chose to transform, or?
@@slowery43 original poster is correct. Truth is truth. It does not change based on what you want it to be. You either align yourself with it, or you will, by default, be aligned with untruth and evil.

I saw the movie and thought it was stunning. Russell’s take is correct-the archetypal nature of the story shines through anything else in the way. Really the story of two unlikely best friends who make choices that impact their relationship, along with showing the power of kindness, and the consequences of becoming disillusioned and embittered. Soooo many deep lessons I was able to extract for my 7 year old daughter who saw it and absolutely loved it. Also, Amala Ekpunobi did an EXCELLENT review of the movie!
I agree it was a great movie. As someone who saw the original broadway production in the early 2000s as a kid, I appreciated that they stayed true to the source material. Some of the comments on here are getting ridiculous… people thinking that this story was written to push some kind of “woke” agenda, not realizing this musical has been around for 20+ years before we had all this divide 🙄 some people just want to be mad no matter what. I’m so happy that there is FINALLY actually something worth going to the theatres for other than the trash Hollywood has been churning out lately.
Evil trying to sell more evil to kids and young adults subtlety and even the characters playing it seem like they ve sold themselves playing these roles ..protect your kids from watching this pls.
I watched it. I normally don't watch such things but it was very good in my opinion. The main character was labeled as wicked because she was actually going against those in power and standing up for the underdogs (which kind of resonates in today's society). Not much of a fan of singing but the storyline was anything but evil.
Russell, I like your take on this. I have seen your transformation. You were a smart man before your awakening. I value your opinion so much more now, due to your spiritual evolution. God bless before. Please continue with your God given gifts.
Elpheba never turned evil. She was lied about and used as the bad guy so that everyone wouldn't listen to her when she tried to talk about what the wizard is doing. And the silencing of the animals to create a common enemy is something that has worked before and will work again if we don't watch for it. Any group of people can be turned into the enemy. That's why we need reminders to listen to the intelligent people that they try to silence, like Russel Brand. I always liked the messages in the book Wicked, the musical, and now the movie.
Baum wrote The Wizard of Oz as a political treatsie espousing the free and unlimited coinage of silver. The yellow brick road symbolizes the gold standard which backed the dollar during those days. The Tin man was the Northern working man electorate, The Cowardly Lion was William Jennings Bryant, the girl, Dorothy was symolic of the Populist Movement which was centered in the Mid-West. Every character represents a part of the political scene in the 1890's. Scholars have known this since the 1890's. The Wizard was the President of the US of course.We studied this in college, a long time ago before gender studies.
Like little kids we do what they do pretend we understand things that are horrible and to removed from life So we make movies and books to understand that they too are a part of life that moves on with or without compromise
I have seen a lot of comments that don't seem to understand what the story is supposed to be. This movie is based on a very long running Broadway which was based on a series of well written and very dark books (though thankfully the musical isn't as dark). The story isn't showing sympathy for a villain, but showing that there are complex nuances in society and how easy it is to villianize somebody who is doing the right thing. The whole "is somebody born wicked or is wicked thrusted upon them" is about how people treat others who are different, whether it is physical or ideological. Also it is about the importance to speak and act on the truth even if there is backlash. I saw the movie and I was honestly very skeptical about it because of my love of the musical, but I am happy that I was pleasantly surprised that it was a refreshingly good movie. There was pops of colors, good character development, and they stayed true to the heart of the musical. So I do suggest giving it a shot (unless musicals aren't your thing).
The fight is not about it was done good or bad. But rather, should the global populous ammers in mugical realm propaganda since Harry Potter release. The thoughts can separated to different branches: somebody persistent with this idea and gave another "somebody" chans to make money no matter what; as better Rat Catcher played on flute, as much children of Hamlet will follow.
This is a perfect example of the cunning and deceitfulness of Satan. No one is sinless. Only by Jesus taking on the punishment for our sins are we considered acceptable in God’s sight. The belief in Jesus redeeming us through His death is what separates the Christian faith over all religions. Those who reject God and the only way of salvation through Jesus (John 14:6) will find themselves perpetually at war with God. But those who come to Him in repentance will find themselves at peace with God. Because of Christ’s sacrifice, we are restored to a relationship of peace with God (Romans 5:1). 2 Corinthians 11:14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
Yh i heard the same thing, that's when i got abit creeped out to be honest lol it seemed like a decent kids film at first until i did some research and I'm so glad i did! 😅
Well, you know how certain people like to compare other people to lowly animals. This is why you should always pay attention to how a person treats animals.
It has much to do with the original if you pay close attention, why she is green, how the monkeys came to fly, who the wizard really is, etc. There's alot to tie in.
@theresastuppiello9589 I know those superficial aspects of it but if you go to the original adult fiction book Wicked and then on to the theater play/musical which all revolves around this whole idea of a friendship and that she's not really wicked and on and on and blah blah blah it has nothing whatsoever to do with the original spirit and facts of the original book and movie. So stop just pointing out superficial two-dimensional similarities.
I agree, they are trying to paint evil as "not really evil when you look at it." Nonsense, make a new IP for that. They did the same thing with Maleficent, which had been evil: "Now, shall you deal with ME, O Prince - and all the powers of HELL!"
@@orangeygaming7212 so what? Yes there are superficial similarities. Educate yourself by reading the original book and then compare it to the adult fiction book Wicked upon which the theater musical and movie now is based upon. Again, educate yourself instead of relying on superficial observations.
In the Original Wizard Of Oz, Dorothy woke at the end and realized she was only dreaming. So what happened to the dream? Who was Dreaming? Wake up Properly.
Saw the movie and enjoyed it very much. The sets, costumes, all the art was superb. The voices of the two lead characters were so perfectly matched to blend beautifully. It wasn't a perfect movie, but it was far above mediocre. As to the "morality of a Christian going to see it, I think each one should follow their own conscience. In other words, follow the Holy Spirit's leading. I think we all know the answer to the question of whether we are born evil. Yes, we are all sinners in need of a savior. But, understanding a perso'ns story helps us to have compassion for other sinners. And maybe it gives us pause to thank God for our own lives and His intervention in them. If I were to take children to the movie I would definitely talk about it with them afterward. This is one way we teach them discernment and wisdom.
The movie makes the wicked witch out to be a tragic character. It does give a reason why she became known as the wicked witch. As the original movie didn't really give a good reason.
It does not mean good or holy, though either does it? Attempting to lessen the true intent by referring to original definition is short-sighted in modern times of "re-interpretation" (which is another word with multiple intents).
I don’t think Trump’s vision includes anything to do with Disney. It has everything to do with returning back to technological and manufacturing excellence which we have handed over to other countries.
The danger is not where we can see but rather in what is hidden underneath all the beauty of the film…the normalization and acceptance of what is bad and evil and wicked 😢 parents should never promote things like this!!!
I'll stick to the original Wizard of Oz with Judy Garland thanks. Wizard has been made to take advantage of the original film to make money.. nothing else. The round of interviews promoting the film were utterly bizarre.
The original wizard of oz the book is actually a lot darker and the movie backstory with Judy garland is no different ! There’s a curse supposevilly sourounded around that so nothing is pure perfect or safe
There was also a massive political narrative. The original Wizard of Oz was deeply esoteric and archetypal in nature. The Wicked story is an inversion of this. With Dorothy portraying the goddess/Persephone aspect, Oz being her subconscious mind/the underworld, the Wizard being her inner Christ Consciousness, the wicked witch and the good witch being the dualistic nature of the Sophia, the emerald city being the heart, the yellow brick road being the central channel up which the kundalini rises, and the characters in Oz, being unhealed aspects of her that get healed within the heart. There’s probably more to it than this, but you get the gist. To invert this is, quite literally, satanic/Ahrimanic.
Absolutely perfect explanation! Thank you for writing this comment. This movie truly seems wicked. Years ago the wanted to make Maleficient appealing also. They don't understand these myths. And clearly don't have enough imagination to write new stories. Or perhaps there are just satanic motives here. Because it's inverted it appears completely bland and boring.
But the world of esoteric isn’t satanic in nature. We have been brainwashed by religion. I’m YESHUA’s biggest fan, and I can assure you the spiritual world is very real, Universe, etc, and Metaphysics isn’t evil…
I hate that trend! Making the bad guy the victim is not the way to tell a story. It’s why we have all this woke nonsense. Wickedness never was happiness.

Just watched it. It's quite good but an hour too long and is a part 1 so doesn't have a proper end. Nothing much woke about it apart from animal rights and diverse cast. And abit about making a fake enemy (the talking animals) that can either be woke or based depending of POV.
I read.the book a long time ago and a big part of the wicked witch is that she's an animal rights activist. She was a force of nature. I wonder if they touch on that. It was an important aspect of the story where the wizard and good witch represented a domestication and oppression of the wild.
I really liked it!! Hated that it was part 1 though…. And now we have to wait a year for the second half …. It was pretty extraordinary… and man those girls can sing!!!
Someone else may have mentioned (I can’t be bothered reading over 400 comments!) that “The Wizard of Oz” wasn’t the first colour film. Off the top of my head, I can think of “A Star is Born” from 2 years earlier, which was made in Technicolour, but there were also colour films made by hand-painting each frame, going back to the silent period. “The Wizard of Oz”, with its switch from black and white to colour, was revolutionary, which is why many think it’s the first colour film.
The whole point of all entertainment and music in the west is to manipulate your emotions - to get you excited, scared, disgusted, to brutalise and desensitise you, and triggered. Dopamine addiction. The antidote is extreme sobriety.
The Definition of the word Wicked: 1. evil or morally wrong ---- This is clearly a celebration of evil. Isaiah 5;20 ~ Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
@@MC-ep8cuJesus, a warlock? Offensive, but ok? Do you have grounds for this argument? Whether you like it or not, he died for you. So him and God let you choose if you’d benefit from it or not. But I don’t know you or what your life has been. I hope you are doing alright.
If we still have children at home, the best idea is to watch it WITH them.. and (afterwards) point out whatever deceit, lies or misconceptions may have been weaved in...and pray for the Holy Spirit's discernment beforehand.
Should we watch Brokeback Mountain or popular horror movies with our children and point out the evil? Best idea is to teach these children that we will not be watching a movie about witchcraft, because our Father has warned us against all these things.
Judy Garland was 16 when they filmed the movie. She wound up on drugs, smoking and drinking during the whole film due to stress and other factors. It caused her to die younger
What exactly? She was drug addict. That's why she died . She wanted to be perfect,loved,the best. Only her . Well..noone is. It's life. If you prefer drugs then you dying younger.

Hollywood celebs have an entourage of people managing their day to day lives. From shoots and interviews to the clothes they wear, every little detail is decided for them. That’s why they appear to be out of touch.
I used to work in and around the entertainment industry here in L.A., and you are exactly right about all that you have just said. I was working for a unique high end store called Maxfield's in West Hollywood and was sent with one of the salespeople to Lionel Ritchie's house where we went with two full racks of clothing for him to try on and get his Fashion Consultant's approval to buy and start using. The clothing I was told he was getting rid of equaled almost the same amount we brought with us, and everything looked like it had only been worn once or maybe twice and never touched again.
It's not that they "appear" to be out of touch, it's why they are out of touch. These actors and actresses have no concept of what "real" is because they don't live in reality.
The holly tree (wood) used to cast spells. It's the revelation of the method they have to tell you what they're doing and you accept it without objecting.
@sharontowler6722 not really . They are managed by members of secret society which are heavily involved in film industry. You sign your life away until they are good and done with you or they pull the plug.

I'll always love you unconditionally for your life's contribution. I don't know what it would be like to experience your life. But it is a gift. ❤ To you and your beautiful family!!!
As a Christ disciple and fellow sister in Christ I am surprised this was Russell’s take on this movie given his recent conversion. I pray that the eyes of his understanding be opened.
I asked him if he cares what the Bible says. If so, please read what it says about witches and witchcraft. Then decide if he wants to expose himself and Especially his children to this. We Must point to the Bible because it is the Standard of right and wrong.
Don't follow the herd, thinking this movie is for young children. It is full of violence and darkness. I think you said your children are 6 and 8 years old. I strongly feel that the movie is not appropriate for that age.
I have loved Wicked since I first heard Defying Gravity in 2004. Then... I fell in love with the story. And I feel a lot of people are missing the brilliance of it. Wicked is about courage. It's about standing up to authority and speaking truth to power and standing up for what's right, even if that means you're on your own. It's about the power of propaganda and state character assassination. Who is good? Who is evil? It all depends on our level of courage and who we decide to listen to. And lastly, it's about female friendship. The musical will always be my first love and my favorite cause.. live is always better. That said, the movie was amazing.
The problem is they have uses characters that already had a deep meaning and then they have distorted it. That is the problem. They could have invent brand new characters for the story and then it's be ok
@@nuria.l-l-9827I don’t see anything wrong with it. It’s like a fan fiction. They would’ve never wrote it if they didn’t love the wizard of oz and they decided to make a new story based on it.

This is one of the better productions to come out of Hollywood. They made some scenes longer than they needed to be but the dancing, music, costumes and singing was great. I had tried to read the book which was very twisted and perverted but the musical is fun and very entertaining.
I worked on this film - it was an incredible project. It pushed the boundaries of creativity in all ways, the sets, the special effects, the costumes, the makeup, the wirework, the songs…one of my favourite projects ever (and this is only Part 1)
This is interesting, because my very astute and awakened daughter aged 35, went to see the theatre show at the cinema. She said the music was so good and the show so amazing, that she cried! and a teenager near her also did. Whatever the hidden messages were, there were also some good bits! ❤

The message of Wicked seems to be that wrong treatment makes people evil, but that's not true. All humans do both good and bad, we all need God's forgiveness and grace.
The book "The Sociopath Next Door" has a powerful message: the sociopath's favorite tool is pity. They all blame others and seek pity to disguise their own feelings and behavior.
A socipath's real problem is their own self-hatred - which they project onto others. It's an addictive cycle. Harming others gives them a temporary emotional high, and they get depressed and angry when the high goes away. Then they feed their self-hatred and rage, to justify another episode of harming someone to get that high again.
There are beings, people, djinns that are inherently evil, they are all around. If it were possible "even the very elect would be deceived."
Wasn’t the message I got from watching the movie and I’ve watched it about 4 times now

Did anyone else notice how Russell humbly checked his own sin just before the 6:00 mark in the video? He was bashing Jeff Goldblum and right after he finished, he said "Hmm, that was jealousy". I really liked the old Russell Brand but absolutely love the new one! In fact, I just watched "Get Him to the Greek" last night with a whole new perspective. Thank you for your share Russell!
Yes ❤
That's a great film...one of my favorites!
I love that self realization you shared when you brought up Jeff n then said "oh, that's jealousy" ❤ and that is how you transmute jealousy into humility.
Oh, I almost neglected to mention, I ❤ U brother Brand. Keep it up, & watch your back.
We need you. ❤❤❤
People bullying Elphaba did not "make" her wicked. She CHOSE her actions and her path.
And did you say the same thing about that dogshit Joker movie from 2019
Right. It's not what happens to us , but how we react to what happens to us.
I'm sure bullying plays a part in choice. Think about it
@aspiringjoker2883 Never saw Joker. But yeah, the SAME. People CHOOSE their actions and behaviors. We all have free will.
I was bullied as a child at school and I’m not a bad person. I chose to get past those people and live my life as God intends.
No. People aren't born wicked, they are born with the ability TO BE wicked.
Well stated
The Bible disagrees
That is what I believe. We are given opportunities by God - and our own souls to choose. It's not what happens to us that matters, it's our response. Do we choose Love or anger and ultimately, hate?
@@barbarablair91 Where ? In my life, multiple times, i have been given the choice, follow Christ or leave. I have always chosen Christ. I disagree... choice is instrumental to following Christ, especially now when we have all kinds of earthly distractions. Christ's path is always a choice.
Depends what your standard of wicked is. Most humans, without some form of intervention beforehand, will steal food when hungry. The only reason people dont inherrantly do wicked things is because established culture intervenes almost automatically before they are capable. But it's important to note that in such a person's mind, there is no "wicked" or good actions. They are simply choices of survival, no morals are involved.
During the season when most of us are celebrating the birth of our Savior..the two top US movies are about Witch’s and Santa being Satan. Spiritual War.

I saw the movie and thought it was stunning. Russell’s take is correct-the archetypal nature of the story shines through anything else in the way. Really the story of two unlikely best friends who make choices that impact their relationship, along with showing the power of kindness, and the consequences of becoming disillusioned and embittered. Soooo many deep lessons I was able to extract for my 7 year old daughter who saw it and absolutely loved it. Also, Amala Ekpunobi did an EXCELLENT review of the movie!
I agree it was a great movie. As someone who saw the original broadway production in the early 2000s as a kid, I appreciated that they stayed true to the source material. Some of the comments on here are getting ridiculous… people thinking that this story was written to push some kind of “woke” agenda, not realizing this musical has been around for 20+ years before we had all this divide 🙄 some people just want to be mad no matter what.

Awful movie and not for kids. Evil hearts
Evil trying to sell more evil to kids and young adults subtlety and even the characters playing it seem like they ve sold themselves playing these roles ..protect your kids from watching this pls.
Bingo!! Nailed it
I watched it. I normally don't watch such things but it was very good in my opinion. The main character was labeled as wicked because she was actually going against those in power and standing up for the underdogs (which kind of resonates in today's society). Not much of a fan of singing but the storyline was anything but evil.
@@Meenaia Agreed. I saw it too and found many deep lessons to ponder from the characters.
It's okay to enjoy things. My kids loved it.
Russell, I like your take on this. I have seen your transformation. You were a smart man before your awakening. I value your opinion so much more now, due to your spiritual evolution. God bless before. Please continue with your God given gifts.
Elpheba never turned evil. She was lied about and used as the bad guy so that everyone wouldn't listen to her when she tried to talk about what the wizard is doing. And the silencing of the animals to create a common enemy is something that has worked before and will work again if we don't watch for it. Any group of people can be turned into the enemy. That's why we need reminders to listen to the intelligent people that they try to silence, like Russel Brand. I always liked the messages in the book Wicked, the musical, and now the movie.
I started reading the book years ago and got so much nightmares. I stopped reading it and got rid of that book.
Keep your children way from anything that promotes witchcraft..
So also Harry Potter then? Not a lot is left.
To an extent we are born wizards, but there is a way to show this that's less...creepy.
weird take but wicked is starting to make profit so jokes on you
So, if people are so aware of this negative influence, why does "The Magic Kingdom" exist?

Why would any child be subjected to viewing this trash…
Baum wrote The Wizard of Oz as a political treatsie espousing the free and unlimited coinage of silver. The yellow brick road symbolizes the gold standard which backed the dollar during those days. The Tin man was the Northern working man electorate, The Cowardly Lion was William Jennings Bryant, the girl, Dorothy was symolic of the Populist Movement which was centered in the Mid-West. Every character represents a part of the political scene in the 1890's. Scholars have known this since the 1890's. The Wizard was the President of the US of course.We studied this in college, a long time ago before gender studies.
very cool, other the seeing the film as a child i never knew any of this
I only realized this when I did it for a school play years later ... It's brilliant!
Like little kids we do what they do pretend we understand things that are horrible and to removed from life
So we make movies and books to understand that they too are a part of life that moves on with or without compromise
Thank you for sharing friend, you learn something new every day
Bullshit!
I have seen a lot of comments that don't seem to understand what the story is supposed to be. This movie is based on a very long running Broadway which was based on a series of well written and very dark books (though thankfully the musical isn't as dark). The story isn't showing sympathy for a villain, but showing that there are complex nuances in society and how easy it is to villianize somebody who is doing the right thing. The whole "is somebody born wicked or is wicked thrusted upon them" is about how people treat others who are different, whether it is physical or ideological. Also it is about the importance to speak and act on the truth even if there is backlash. I saw the movie and I was honestly very skeptical about it because of my love of the musical, but I am happy that I was pleasantly surprised that it was a refreshingly good movie. There was pops of colors, good character development, and they stayed true to the heart of the musical. So I do suggest giving it a shot (unless musicals aren't your thing).
Agree!!
The fight is not about it was done good or bad. But rather, should the global populous ammers in mugical realm propaganda since Harry Potter release. The thoughts can separated to different branches: somebody persistent with this idea and gave another "somebody" chans to make money no matter what; as better Rat Catcher played on flute, as much children of Hamlet will follow.
This is a perfect example of the cunning and deceitfulness of Satan.
No one is sinless.
Only by Jesus taking on the punishment for our sins are we considered acceptable in God’s sight.
The belief in Jesus redeeming us through His death is what separates the Christian faith over all religions.
Those who reject God and the only way of salvation through Jesus (John 14:6) will find themselves perpetually at war with God. But those who come to Him in repentance will find themselves at peace with God. Because of Christ’s sacrifice, we are restored to a relationship of peace with God (Romans 5:1).
2 Corinthians 11:14
No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
Yh i heard the same thing, that's when i got abit creeped out to be honest lol it seemed like a decent kids film at first until i did some research and I'm so glad i did! 😅

Well, you know how certain people like to compare other people to lowly animals. This is why you should always pay attention to how a person treats animals.
I've seen clips, I won't waste my money.😂😂😂😂😂 I prefer the original one!
It's a completely different story than wizard of oz - like how 50 shades of grey is twilight fanfiction but has nothing to do with twilight
The present movie Wicked really has nothing to do with the original Wizard of Oz literature, book and 1939 movie.
It has much to do with the original if you pay close attention, why she is green, how the monkeys came to fly, who the wizard really is, etc. There's alot to tie in.
@@theresastuppiello9589yeah plus in the first scene the characters from the original are on the yellow brick road…
@theresastuppiello9589 I know those superficial aspects of it but if you go to the original adult fiction book Wicked and then on to the theater play/musical which all revolves around this whole idea of a friendship and that she's not really wicked and on and on and blah blah blah it has nothing whatsoever to do with the original spirit and facts of the original book and movie. So stop just pointing out superficial two-dimensional similarities.
I agree, they are trying to paint evil as "not really evil when you look at it." Nonsense, make a new IP for that. They did the same thing with Maleficent, which had been evil: "Now, shall you deal with ME, O Prince - and all the powers of HELL!"
@@orangeygaming7212 so what? Yes there are superficial similarities. Educate yourself by reading the original book and then compare it to the adult fiction book Wicked upon which the theater musical and movie now is based upon. Again, educate yourself instead of relying on superficial observations.
In the Original Wizard Of Oz, Dorothy woke at the end and realized she was only dreaming. So what happened to the dream? Who was Dreaming? Wake up Properly.
In the motion picture it was a dream, but in the book it was not.
The show supernatural ties in the wizard of Oz with our world . And Dorothy is gay in that version of oz.

Loved it--saw it twice. Can't wait for part two!
Saw the movie and enjoyed it very much. The sets, costumes, all the art was superb. The voices of the two lead characters were so perfectly matched to blend beautifully. It wasn't a perfect movie, but it was far above mediocre. As to the "morality of a Christian going to see it, I think each one should follow their own conscience. In other words, follow the Holy Spirit's leading. I think we all know the answer to the question of whether we are born evil. Yes, we are all sinners in need of a savior. But, understanding a perso'ns story helps us to have compassion for other sinners. And maybe it gives us pause to thank God for our own lives and His intervention in them.
If I were to take children to the movie I would definitely talk about it with them afterward. This is one way we teach them discernment and wisdom.
I wouldn’t take my children to a movie named Wicked. Why would you want to expose your children to such evil trash.?!
I know, a story about bullying and exclusion, so hideously evil. Jesus.
The movie makes the wicked witch out to be a tragic character. It does give a reason why she became known as the wicked witch. As the original movie didn't really give a good reason.
It seems Halloween themes are all-year round! And by Halloween I mean the potentially occult!

@Ruby_Villain Hiding in plain sight as always, I guess people have to choose not to notice evil these days!
Normalizing the occult. We know who's running that show.
The word occult comes from the Latin word occultus, which means "hidden" or "secret". It does not mean "evil".
It does not mean good or holy, though either does it? Attempting to lessen the true intent by referring to original definition is short-sighted in modern times of "re-interpretation" (which is another word with multiple intents).

I'll stick to the original Wizard of Oz with Judy Garland thanks. Wizard has been made to take advantage of the original film to make money.. nothing else. The round of interviews promoting the film were utterly bizarre.
If you like the original then do not watch the extras on the 75th special editions
The original wizard of oz the book is actually a lot darker and the movie backstory with Judy garland is no different ! There’s a curse supposevilly sourounded around that so nothing is pure perfect or safe
There was also a massive political narrative.
The original Wizard of Oz was deeply esoteric and archetypal in nature. The Wicked story is an inversion of this. With Dorothy portraying the goddess/Persephone aspect, Oz being her subconscious mind/the underworld, the Wizard being her inner Christ Consciousness, the wicked witch and the good witch being the dualistic nature of the Sophia, the emerald city being the heart, the yellow brick road being the central channel up which the kundalini rises, and the characters in Oz, being unhealed aspects of her that get healed within the heart. There’s probably more to it than this, but you get the gist. To invert this is, quite literally, satanic/Ahrimanic.
This movie looks boring
That's a great explanation of it
The original was pure satire, political satire. Subtle works better than obvious propaganda.
Absolutely perfect explanation! Thank you for writing this comment. This movie truly seems wicked. Years ago the wanted to make Maleficient appealing also. They don't understand these myths. And clearly don't have enough imagination to write new stories.
Or perhaps there are just satanic motives here.
Because it's inverted it appears completely bland and boring.
But the world of esoteric isn’t satanic in nature. We have been brainwashed by religion. I’m YESHUA’s biggest fan, and I can assure you the spiritual world is very real, Universe, etc, and Metaphysics isn’t evil…
Another woke show where bad choices make the villian evil, but the movie makes her a "victim".

Just watched it. It's quite good but an hour too long and is a part 1 so doesn't have a proper end. Nothing much woke about it apart from animal rights and diverse cast. And abit about making a fake enemy (the talking animals) that can either be woke or based depending of POV.
I read.the book a long time ago and a big part of the wicked witch is that she's an animal rights activist. She was a force of nature. I wonder if they touch on that. It was an important aspect of the story where the wizard and good witch represented a domestication and oppression of the wild.

Someone else may have mentioned (I can’t be bothered reading over 400 comments!) that “The Wizard of Oz” wasn’t the first colour film. Off the top of my head, I can think of “A Star is Born” from 2 years earlier, which was made in Technicolour, but there were also colour films made by hand-painting each frame, going back to the silent period. “The Wizard of Oz”, with its switch from black and white to colour, was revolutionary, which is why many think it’s the first colour film.
Don't go see it Russell. Your daughters are too precious. Be very careful as this is playing on the ground of the occult.
They are too young to understand the underlying message.
That makes it worse. It goes into the Unconscious mind unchallenged.
The question is: What does the Bible say about witches and witchcraft
The whole point of all entertainment and music in the west is to manipulate your emotions - to get you excited, scared, disgusted, to brutalise and desensitise you, and triggered. Dopamine addiction. The antidote is extreme sobriety.
God bless you, Russell Brand. Witnessing beauty blooming from the inside out. ❤

Thanks for shouting out Critical Drinker. His reviews really help decide what I will watch. Wicked wasn't 1/2 bad.
It celebrates magic and witches. Not a fan because of that.
The Definition of the word Wicked: 1. evil or morally wrong ---- This is clearly a celebration of evil. Isaiah 5;20 ~ Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Precisely people who use religion to manipulate others are wicked.

If we still have children at home, the best idea is to watch it WITH them.. and (afterwards) point out whatever deceit, lies or misconceptions may have been weaved in...and pray for the Holy Spirit's discernment beforehand.
Not a good idea. Set an example and show them to reject wickedness. Do not participate.
Should we watch Brokeback Mountain or popular horror movies with our children and point out the evil? Best idea is to teach these children that we will not be watching a movie about witchcraft, because our Father has warned us against all these things.
Judy Garland was 16 when they filmed the movie. She wound up on drugs, smoking and drinking during the whole film due to stress and other factors. It caused her to die younger
What exactly? She was drug addict. That's why she died . She wanted to be perfect,loved,the best. Only her . Well..noone is. It's life. If you prefer drugs then you dying younger.

Hollywood celebs have an entourage of people managing their day to day lives. From shoots and interviews to the clothes they wear, every little detail is decided for them. That’s why they appear to be out of touch.
I used to work in and around the entertainment industry here in L.A., and you are exactly right about all that you have just said.
I was working for a unique high end store called Maxfield's in West Hollywood and was sent with one of the salespeople to Lionel Ritchie's house where we went with two full racks of clothing for him to try on and get his Fashion Consultant's approval to buy and start using.
The clothing I was told he was getting rid of equaled almost the same amount we brought with us, and everything looked like it had only been worn once or maybe twice and never touched again.
Not "appear" they truly are OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY
It's not that they "appear" to be out of touch, it's why they are out of touch. These actors and actresses have no concept of what "real" is because they don't live in reality.

As a Christ disciple and fellow sister in Christ I am surprised this was Russell’s take on this movie given his recent conversion. I pray that the eyes of his understanding be opened.
I asked him if he cares what the Bible says. If so, please read what it says about witches and witchcraft. Then decide if he wants to expose himself and Especially his children to this. We Must point to the Bible because it is the Standard of right and wrong.
Don't follow the herd, thinking this movie is for young children. It is full of violence and darkness. I think you said your children are 6 and 8 years old. I strongly feel that the movie is not appropriate for that age.

I have loved Wicked since I first heard Defying Gravity in 2004.
Then... I fell in love with the story. And I feel a lot of people are missing the brilliance of it.
Wicked is about courage.
It's about standing up to authority and speaking truth to power and standing up for what's right, even if that means you're on your own.
It's about the power of propaganda and state character assassination.
Who is good? Who is evil? It all depends on our level of courage and who we decide to listen to.
And lastly, it's about female friendship.
The musical will always be my first love and my favorite cause.. live is always better.
That said, the movie was amazing.

You are so blessed my brother-and you know it deep inside.
You truly are loved by all, even the haters!
Unfortunately people will still bring their kids
This is one of the better productions to come out of Hollywood. They made some scenes longer than they needed to be but the dancing, music, costumes and singing was great. I had tried to read the book which was very twisted and perverted but the musical is fun and very entertaining.
So you've been mesmerized by evil.
@ it’s a fantasy/fairy story not a sermon. No sex, nudity and minimal violence.
I worked on this film - it was an incredible project. It pushed the boundaries of creativity in all ways, the sets, the special effects, the costumes, the makeup, the wirework, the songs…one of my favourite projects ever (and this is only Part 1)
We really enjoyed it. Great effects, and no pole dancing.
I fully expected to hate it, but it was actually really good!
I had the same take on it Russell and I loved it. I’m a Catholic as well.
Now that you mention one flew over the cuckoo nest , which is one of my favorite films! What hell has happen to the quality of movies!!!!
Isn't it ironic that while they get upset about the CEO situation they also glorify someone being wicked because of bullying 🤔
Excellent point.

This is interesting, because my very astute and awakened daughter aged 35, went to see the theatre show at the cinema. She said the music was so good and the show so amazing, that she cried! and a teenager near her also did. Whatever the hidden messages were, there were also some good bits! ❤
