Review of The Wizard of Oz (1939) by Russell Q — 14 Jul 2015
The Wizard of Oz is a wonderful movie that deserved to be a classic! The Wizard of Oz is a delightful treat for everyone of all ages! Everything I have seen in this movie is amazing! It has magic the whole family will enjoy. The movie is filled with great performances, music and songs.
A tale from L. frank Baum, The Wizard of Oz tells the story of Dorothy, (played by a legendary Judy Garland), a young farm girl who live in Kansas. One day, an earthquake appears and takes Dorothy and her dog, Toto to the magical world of Oz, a place filled with pure imagination. While in Oz, she meets the Wicked Witch of the West, who really loves those red ruby shoes she has on. While she tries avoiding the witch, the nice creatures and people in Oz tell her to follow the yellow brick road. While walking, she meets a scarecrow, a tin man, and a lion. They all wish that had something that would be so special to them, The Scarecrow wishes for a brain, The Tin Man wishes for a Heart, and The Lion wishes for Courage, but Dorothy has the biggest wish of them all, to get back home to Kansas. They all must go see the Wonderful a Wizard of Oz which leads them to an adventure filled with creatures, weird people, and the Witch.
The Wizard of Oz is a beloved classic for everyone. The songs are great, the music is wonderful, the screenplay is magnificent, the acting is fantastic, and the effects are really well done. The art direction is fantastically beautiful, the costume design is amazing, and the adventure in the movie triumphs! I think this should have won the Academy Award for Best Picture of 1939.
