Review of The Wizard of Oz (1939) by Scott M — 08 Apr 2017
I remember watching this as a small child back in the late 1970s, again as nine year old in the early 1980s, and as a fourteen year old in the late 1980s.
The first time, I think I liked it.
The second time, I remember I had a bad dream that the Wicked Witch of the West was chasing after me on a broomstick. In the dream, I remember I threw a bucket of water on the Wicked Witch, and she melted away.
By the time I got to my teens, I found this film reminded me of a shopping centre pantomime- cloying and patronizing, and I hated it.
I still cannot bring myself to like The Wizard of Oz. Call me cold hearted if you will, but there are plenty of films from my childhood (anything starring The Muppets) that I still cherish today, and I would rather watch those instead of this.
