Still just 8.3?

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2003)

I wonder if imdb adjusts its ratings on a regular basis, as this movie has stayed at 8.3 for a couple of years, at least. Counting the number of stars, however, nine out of the ten are yellow. Doesn't that mean that the movie should at least be 9?
Some random thoughts:
This movie is an object lesson in how to tell a story.

Without every taking itself too seriously, it allows us to.

I couldn't disagree more that the "moral" of the story is that there is no place like home. The story seems to me to be about believing in yourself and, especially, about being open to finding friendship from people you might not otherwise have sought it from.
A salute to the cast and crew of "The Wizard of Oz."
