A Childhood Favorite That Stands the Test of Time

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2014)

You would be hard pressed to find someone who hasn't seen the Wizard of Oz. It is just one of those movies that seemingly everyone has seen. In my family, it has been an old standby for all sorts of gatherings. After I re-watched it from a technical viewpoint, I was blown away by the sheer amount of work that went into creating this film. From the musical numbers to the pulling of heartstrings towards the climax, this film will bring you on a journey through an incredible land full of magic and wonder. This film has stood the test of time because of how it draws people in with such an innocent girl, and the wild adventure she embarks on, all to return to the ones she loves. What stand out to me however, is the key phrase of "There's no place like home." This little piece has left such an impact on so many people, it would be wrong to not include it. So if you are one of the few who has not seen the film, just go out and do it. You're missing out on Americana.
