  • Believe it or not The Wizard of Oz wasn't an immediate hit when it originally released in 1939. It was only in subsequent decades that it became the pop culture phenomenon which spawned multiple spin-offs, prequels and sequels like the upcoming adaptation of the stage musical Wicked. So come with is as we journey back to the Land of Oz with Dorothy, Scarecrow, The Tin Man, The Cowardly Lion, Glinda and the Wicked Witch of the West or Elphaba as she's come to be known.

      I have a theory that Wizard of Oz might be the most commonly referenced/quoted movie of all time. I have absolutely no way of objectively determining if this is true, but I believe it. 1) It's much older than the vast majority of other movies that get referenced a lot, 2) Ever since it became popular it's remained consistently well-known throughout the world in a way that very few other movies have over such a long period of time, and 3) It has a TON of lines that people quote, some of which you might not even remember originated from it, like I had a moment once years ago where I re-watched the movie for the first time in forever and was like "oh wow I don't think I realized the phrase "come out come out wherever you are!" was from this". I know there are movies that get quoted to endless degree in certain circles of people, like Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but I don't think movies like that get quoted by your average everyday people on a regular basis nearly as much as Wizard of Oz. It's so deeply baked into our cultural subconscious, it's kind of fascinating.

    I would say the Witch of the South is not so much missing as composited into the character of Glinda. In the book, Glinda is the Witch of the South, fairly similar to the movie character, but we don't meet her until the last act when they journey to her realm in the far South. The Good Witch of the North who Dorothy meets at the beginning is a different character, a kindly old lady. So there isn't the odd feature of Glinda seemingly withholding critical information from Dorothy--it makes more sense.
    All things considered, "The Wizard of Oz" is actually way more faithful to its source material than a lot of film adaptations are, and certainly more faithful than the previous Oz adaptations. But they condensed the story quite a bit, particularly in the second half. Dorothy melting the Witch of the West happens at the midpoint of the book and there's a lot of traveling after.
    Interesting fact--as far as I can tell, the original stage version of "The Wiz" (not the Sidney Lumet/Joel Schumacher movie) might be the most structurally faithful adaptation of Baum's book out there.

    • @ThreadBomb
      @ThreadBomb День тому +1

      @@ThreadBomb Yes, and they're *nothing* like the books, so he clearly was fine with interpreting his own material pretty freely.
      The main thing the movie adds is the "dream" frame concept, which the book really doesn't mention at all--it might have been borrowed from "Alice in Wonderland". The transition from monochrome to color, amazingly, IS in the book, which describes Kansas as this kind of preternaturally gray place. But there's nothing about Dorothy dreaming; her house really got blown to Oz.
      (also, can I just say: that tornado effect is AMAZING, one of the best special effects ever put on film if you ask me.)

    More trivia!
    The twister was cotton on an electric drill.
    The horse was coated in jello to give a color changing effect.
    There is a cut dance number called Jitterbug that would take place in the woods outside the Wicked Witches castle.
    The first Oz book is a political allegory about someone on a dust bowl farm trying to get justice from a capitol city that sees the world through superficial green tinted lenses. Hence, Dorothy was burdened with silver slippers, since populists wanted silver added to the gold standard.
    The slippers were changed to ruby red for a better shot on technicolor.
    The Witches death was a product of the Hayes code. Left unchanged, Dorothy would have thrown a bucket of water on the Witch without knowing she would melt, but it had to be completely accidental, so she tries to throw water on the Scarecrow to put out the fire.
    The Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Lion are, respectfully, an industrialist who suspects he makes decisions without empathy, a rural common man who suspects his opinions are niave, and a patriot who feels like he's failed to live up the reputation of his forefathers. Though in the movie, they are simplified to represent some virtues Dorothy can attain as she grows up.
    Fred Rogers arranged for that interview after an episode of Sesame Street, wherein the Wicked Witch lost her broom, was pulled due to a series of letters from parents.
    None of them actually believed the Wizard when he said they could solve their own problems in the book. They firced him to make up some placebos on the spot.

    Right, so in the book Glinda is actually the Good Witch of the South and she doesn't appear until the very end. The Good Witch of the North, whom Dorothy meets when arriving in Oz, is a completely different character. This is sorta vital because Glinda is the only one who knows that Dorothy can use the magic slippers (which were silver in the book) to teleport home. In the movie, this makes it seem like Glinda tricked Dorothy into going on that long ass adventure when she could have just sent her home from the start.
    Other differences is that the ending of the book doesn't make it all out to have been a dream: Oz is unambiguously a real place and Dorothy absolutely went there. Also, the reason Dorothy wanted to go home wasn't because she missed life on the failing dustbowl farm. Because of course she didn't, her life in Kansas sucked. She wanted to go home because she was worried about her aunt and uncle. That was the only reason she didn't stay in Oz and in later books she actually brings Em and Henry with her and settles in Oz permanently.
    There's also what is essentially a transsexual main character and what can be interpreted as a lesbian marriage, in a series of children's books written from 1900 to 1919. Also it's just generally full of powerful and competent women. Lyman Frank Baum was hella ahead of his time, is what I'm saying.

If you got black-and-white film, your projector showed a black-and-white image. If you got color film, your projector showed a color image. Correct me if I’m wrong, other UA-cam commenters,
