It was good to see some imaginary piece of art after having seen many movies bogged down in overrated realism.

Rating: Null/10 (24 April 2006)

Dorothy,who is an orphan kid,lives with her aunt Aunt Em and Uncle Henry.Whe she gets into a clash with the humorless old witch Almira Gulch (Margaret Hamilton)in the neighborhood she decides to leave Kansas.On the road she meets Professor Marvel(Frank Morgan).Under the magical talking of the professor she understands she should go back but on the way back home she gets herself into a twister and she can't reach her aunt and uncle because the whole whole family is already down in the cellar and cannot hear her kicking on its door.After that we see Dorothy in the magical trappings of the Land of Oz.Actually the fun of the movie starts here you know.The dry sepia techni-colored Kansas environment and the dialogs sound so affected until the land of OZ.At the land of OZ you can't help reducing yourself to the enjoyment of a great imaginary musical.Maybe it will sound really irrelevant but I myself like realism in a movie and I don't like fantastical elements much but after seeing a Kurosawa movie(Rashomon which I found highly over-rated)I really liked this imaginary piece of art.I heard people remember this movie as a backdrop to their youth. When the movie was produced even my parents were not born yet so the artistic value of the movie seems like it will address the following century too.
