In my opinion, Wizard
of Oz is a great movie. It all begins when Dorothy wants to run away from home
and on the way to see the Great Wizard of Oz; she meets the scarecrow, tin man
and the lion. Soon, they become a group and killed the wicked witch of the
West. This could be a demonstration of individual vs. society; after helping
each other, they conquer the unbelievable task, which is to kill the wicked
witch of the west.
And also, good vs.
evil is really obvious in this film. Before they meet Oz, lion is a coward and
he wants to gain courage. But, by accomplishing the mission he actually gains
the courage by himself. The good witch is kind and loving, while the wicked
witch of west only wants power and she does not care about others. She just
wants the red slippers, so it does not matter to her how she finally gets it.
Besides the critical
aspects of the film, one thing that I really love is: there is no place like
home. I really love this sentence. And one can truly understands it after
experience this like Dorothy. Also, I like the part that tin man, lion and the
scarecrow sneak in to save Dorothy.
4.5/5

This is a great movie! There are so many different layers and levels in this film that make it so good- from things as simplistic as the addition of color when Dorothy arrives at her new "world" to the true character development. I like how you talk about the idea of individual vs society.
This is honestly one of my favorite movies of all time mostly because of the incorporated songs as well as the switch to color to emphasize the power of Oz, as well as demonstrating new technology of the time period in which the movie was released! I really like how you touched on the idea of "there is no place like home" because it's so iconic with the ruby red slippers.
