Review of The Wizard of Oz (1939) by Calib M — 21 Feb 2016
What can I write about The Wizard of Oz, that has never been written before. This movie is almost 80 years old, and it has been loved for each and every year. This is probably the most watched movie of all american cinema. Every kid has at least watched it once, if not more.
It has every basic component of a great kids movie, it has memorable songs, a great story line, fun characters, thrilling moments and light hearted moments.
As a kid I was terrified by Miss Gulch and The Wicked Witch of the West beautifully portrayed by Margaret Hamilton. Recently I watched this movie again and ±12 years later that caracter still frightened me when she was riding up to the farm, with the suspenseful music in the background and her frown on her face.
This was the first cinematic experience of realising movie had color, the beautiful transition from gradient black and white, to the colorful world of Oz is a magnificent cinematic milestone, and probably one of the most awe inspiring scenes in the film.
This movie is great, we all know it, and we all love it, and it is still thriving ±80 years upon release.
The Wizard of Oz is a childhood masterpiece.
