THE film classic

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2010)

No matter who you talk to, chances are they have at least heard of this movie or the play that it was adapted from. This was one of the most successful movies of the decade especially due to its elaborate sets and costumes, which were very convincing for the year it was made. This was also Judy Garland's first major film, and it caught many producer's attentions to get her more work and cement her as one of the greatest actresses/singers of the 20th century.
The movie focuses on a girl who wants to escape her life, and she ends up in the magical world of Oz. She is on a journey to find a way back home and meets some very lovable characters on the way. The makeup, costumes, sets, effects and Technicolor/sepia usage make this one of the most unique films in history, and it was very advanced for its time. It is by far one of my favorite movies, and I love it to no end. It's one of those films that you look back on and can't really think of your life had you never seen it.
