Summary

ACtually i don't know why A. Cecil gave me this movie because it's not a moive about American culture at all but now i know that maybe it's the movie that people in the Great Depression period watch.

Anyway It's the story about the girl name Dorothy. Dorothy has a dog name Toto and she loves her dog so much.One day the landlord came to her home and blamed Toto and she took Toto with her to punish. Toto was a smart dog he escaped from the basket that the Landlord took with her. Toto came back to Dorothy, she was so happy and also scared that the Landlord would come back and took Toto from her again. So she decided to run away from home.

On the way Dorothy met the futune tell, who were the fake fortune teller, he pretended that he knew why Dorothy was there and run aways from. He told her that her auntie was so sad that Dorothy left home and now she was sick. Dorothy was very worry about her Auntie Em so she went back home.

Before Dorothy was arriving home there were such a big herrican came along her city and took everything away. Dorothy tried to get into her house but she didn't see anybody. Dorothy fail asleep and the herrican moved her house into the rainbow.

Dorothy house fail down on the bad Witch and she died left only the red shoe. Dorothy met the good witch and she gave the red shoe to Dorothy because she deserved it as she killed the bad witch. Dorothy told the good witch that she wanted to went back home. But the good witch said there was the only person who could help her was the Wizard of Oz. So Dorothy decided to go to see him.

On her way to Wizard Oz she met 3 new friends

The first one was Scarecrow, he said he didn't have brain and he wanted it. Then Dorothy asked him to join her way to Wizard Oz to help him to get the brain.

The second friend was Tin man, he said he didn't have heart and he wanted. Then he jointed the way to Wizard Oz with Dorothy.

And the last new friend was Coward Lion, he was shame himself cuz' he didn't have a braveness. Then he also jointed Dorothy's way to Wizard Oz.

Dorothy and three new friends went to Wizard Oz, until they got to see the wizard oz he told her to do one thing was getting the bloom from the bad witch from the other side of the rainbow. And they did but unfortunately they found out later that wizard Oz was just a professor, he didn't have any magic.

Finally he had got an idea to help Dorothy's friend by saying that everybody has their brain, heart and braveness but they didn't use it.

The professor was going to help Dorothy by taking her with him with the Balloon but there was something happen that Dorothy missed the Balloon.

The good witch appeared to help Dorothy went back home and Dorothy got home with her eyes open and she saw everybody. She told everybody about where had she been to but nobody believe her. And the last thing she said
No any places like home and she wouldn't run away from home anymore




My opinion


I think this is more a movie of entertaining people. You just feel like you were Dorothy and following her adventure. But i think this movie is also teaching the watchers many things.

It's like when the Scarecrow told Dorothy that he doesn't have brain. so Dorothy asked how could he speak without brain. then the scarecrow said
so many people speak without thinking that's why he could speak

and i think it's actually true..lol

And even when the professor said he couldn't give anybody brain, heart or braveness because they had already gotten it. I agree with him, Dorothy's friends had all what they needed but they didn't use it so they didn't know thay they had one.

but anyway, some people may think that it's a boring movie but i like it..*_^ Thanks A. Cecil for giving me this movie. I've heard about it but i didn't really know what would the movie look like.

Garbage comments have started. I am surprised it did not start sooner. These are bots running around looking to comment and trying to sell something. Go ahead and delete it if you want.

Check out Piyapat's blog on The Wizard of Oz. She broke the code. This is a fantasy but a fantasy with a strong social message.

The 1930s were the Golden Years of Hollywood because movies were cheap and plentiful. Most everyone went to the movies weekly. The themes of the movies were mostly fantasies, feel goods and horror movies. This was to get the people's minds off of the troubled times they lived in.

Notice how Ms. Piyapat connects the moral of the story with the hardtimes the people were having who watched it. Courage, brains and heart was what it was going to take for America to get out of the Great Depression.

Good blogging. You are very good at expressing your feelings and it makes for very enjoyable reading.
