Review of The Wizard of Oz (1939) by Ssheridan97 — 05 Nov 2014

The Wizard of Oz is my favorite movie of all time. The plot is deals with good trying to defeat evil, as well as a group of friends trying to find their meaning in life. I love the voices that are used in the movie.

Every character is extremely different yet they coincide with each other. Dorothy is very calm and quiet, The Tin-Man is very outspoken and loves to be the center of attention, The Scarecrow is clumsy and funny and The Cowardly Lion is very boisterous and loud but on the inside he is really timid and scared.

I love that the movie includes many genres of movies to capture the audience. These include comedy, action, drama, suspense and even to some extent, horror. The movie is a great depiction of a group of people traveling together, going through struggles and trials.

By the movie containing so many different characters I can relate that to normal life. We all need people to help us get through tough times, no matter our differences. Other characters also play a key role in this movie.

The Wicked Witch of The West plays an evil witch who is trying to capture Dorothy to obtain her ruby slippers for more power. This is a great twist to the movie which makes it suspenseful and scary. The Wizard of Oz is portrayed as a supernatural being who people are scared of.

In the end he is discovered as only a human being and actually helps Dorothy get back to Kansas. I give this movie an overall rating of ten because of the story, the characters, the different twists in the movie and the overall meaning and ending of the movie.
