THE WIZARD OF OZ

Well, that was weirdly disappointing but still thoroughly enjoyable.

It is a rather unsettling feeling, watching your beloved childhood movies to find that there is WAY more to them than you remember (cared to noticed) or even, in this case, that the ending was a totally let down.

I don't know why, but I remember the Wizard to actually be cool and have magically powers. But wow, I must have been so distracted by the colours and music to follow the storyline.
For him to say "oh the men in my life that are smart' and 'the men who have courage own these items, soooo logically (instead of anything magically cool) if you own them too, you'll have these attributes also"
blah blah blah

WHY is this film so loved??

Here's why- and its the only reason I love it too- the costumes and characters.

Next Halloween I am dressing as the Witch of the North, her dress and pretty crown looks like so much fun to wear. Sweep around rooms, Poke people with my super long wand, Struggle up stairs -LOADS of fun :)

AND I truly believe that Bert Lahr who plays the Cowardly Lion, should have got an Oscar! I love him with all my heart :)
On the other hand I would run away from Dorothy, (the character) She is SUPER-DUPER annoying.

I enjoyed the film and it was good to catch up on what I didn't remember but I probably won't watch it for another 15 years..
I'll just think about it and dream my little dreams...
