Beauty at its grandest scale.

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2004)

Movies like this bring the world together. A story of love, friendship and bravery. In a way all of Dorothy's problems must be faced by us too. Mind killing witches and avoiding cyclones, but to take on a new journey, a new turn in your life like it or not and the fact that with friends to guide you and the brightness of your soul, nothing can stop you. My childhood began and ended watching this film and its power still touches me deeply.
With the new generation of books like "Wicked" and comic books about an evil side of Oz, they've merely lost the entire point of the story and its meaning. Purity. Something simply stated but pouring out with wisdom. With these highbrow professors at there big universitys examining it as a political allegory are in my opinion, heartless, ignorant and prude. Oh! A man made out of tin! A talking scarecrow! NOBODY could have that big an imagination. YES THEY CAN! Someone with that gift should be revered, not dicsected. And to all of the people who ignorantly say "oh I hate this movie!" let me tell you something, you can't be skeptical about everything! To love a film like this, you must find the beauty of childhood in your heart, not like some college grad with a film degree. To all who love this film like me, I salute you.
