Review of The Wizard of Oz (1939) by Elias R — 15 Jan 2013

I remember seeing this film when I was a child. It was aired on television about once a year between mid-winter and mid-spring. What stood out for me is just the sheer care that the movie took in presenting itself as a color film with such bright vivid colors that it almost transcends itself to an altered state kind of experience.

This here is the film that ever child MUST see, it is not only a cinematic standard, but an American standard in film. It is essential to American culture as cheeseburgers, french fries, and apple pie.

5 stars hands down, a perfect film in every way.
