Amazing

Rating: 9/10 (13 March 2014)

I truly love this film. The Wizard of Oz in my opinion is a timeless classic. From the simple yet fantastical plot and setting to the catchy and well done musical sections, this film fully delivers. Dorothy's venture into the land of Oz focuses on the imperfections faced by humans in life, and shows how people are similar in this way and have the ability to unite and search for the answer to their imperfections together. The "creatures" Dorothy encounter throughout her journey are all diverse and interesting in their own way, yet they are relate-able in a sense that they all seek something in common. The land of Oz itself is also defined, as the viewer is shown the bright and positive settings and locale as well as the dark and malicious. I recommend this film to just about anyone. In my opinion, it is a film that sticks within your mind days after it is watched.
