This past month Turner Classic Movies played a restored version of The Wizard of Oz . There is this theory that Pink Floyd recorded Dark Side of the Moon as an alternative soundtrack to this movie. If you play Dark Side while watching Wizard of Oz , you may notice some peculiar similarities. So popular is this theory that TCM actually played Dark Side of the Moon on the SAP channel during their broadcast.
More info is at their official site .
The movie is narrarated in first person by a dead man whom we meet in the opening scene. Not only does this sad ballad perfectly set the tone for the scene, but the lyrics could easily be talking about Swansons's character Norma Desmond. Later we learn that Max really is a victim of love , throwing away a career as a director to be with Norma. When the line is repeated, R2D2 is sucked up into the transport . I can't see my tomorrow, and yesterday has come and gone, so leave me alone.
