Review of The Wizard of Oz (1939) by Charlie H — 05 Aug 2017
The Wizard of Oz (1939) is as visually exciting and emotionally stirring today as it was when first released. It's the ultimate family film. A wonderful cast and score bring the magical characters and story to life, as the audience is swept away on Dorothy's journey over the rainbow.
Every turn on the yellow brick road is packed with creativity and whimsy that plucks at the heartstrings. The cinematography is just perfect. Judy Garland emanates a delightful innocence as Dorothy that perfectly matches the film's tone, and the Wicked Witch of the West is the quintessential fantasy villain.
The Wizard of Oz deftly embeds moral messages into its enchanting story, allowing its audience to fully join Dorothy on her journey of awakening. The film is still firmly stamped into contemporary popular culture - the best evidence that it will forever endure the test of time.
The Wizard of Oz (1939) is morally, ethically, spiritually, physically, positively, absolutely and reliably wonderful.
