The two things placed close together with the technicolor dream world of OZ just makes it that much more pleasant. A wide shot view of the Gale farm as the tornado approaches.]]> 2016-12-06 10:24:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleyjacksonx/p20nimlovjvs/wish/141962055 kayleyjacksonx https://padlet.com/kayleyjacksonx/p20nimlovjvs/wish/141962220 Easily the most beautiful and enduring song from the film, it's simply sung masterfully by the little voice of Judy Garland. How her little voice transforms into this rich classical singing is beyond me but ears in general are just better off for it.]]> 2016-12-06 10:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleyjacksonx/p20nimlovjvs/wish/141962220 kayleyjacksonx https://padlet.com/kayleyjacksonx/p20nimlovjvs/wish/141962436 Dorothy starts her journey to OZ on the swirling start of the yellow brick road. She's in the friendliest place in OZ with the lovely Good Witch but you know she is about embark on a great adventure.]]> 2016-12-06 10:26:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleyjacksonx/p20nimlovjvs/wish/141962436 kayleyjacksonx https://padlet.com/kayleyjacksonx/p20nimlovjvs/wish/141962612 Just as her journey starts, Dorothy ponders which way to go along the yellow brick road and receives help from a scarecrow hanging in the corn field.]]> 2016-12-06 10:27:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleyjacksonx/p20nimlovjvs/wish/141962612 kayleyjacksonx https://padlet.com/kayleyjacksonx/p20nimlovjvs/wish/141962631 The only thing Dorothy cares more about than getting home is her little dog Toto. I respect the love of a dog in a person. The singular action of Dorothy in this movie is when she slaps the Lion in the face when he is threatening not only her new friends, but her precious Toto. Nothing makes the Lion seems more cowardly than little Dorothy being so brave.]]> 2016-12-06 10:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleyjacksonx/p20nimlovjvs/wish/141962631 kayleyjacksonx https://padlet.com/kayleyjacksonx/p20nimlovjvs/wish/141963066 After the Wizard takes off in his hot air balloon, Glinda shows Dorothy how she had the magic to go back to Kansas the whole time. Glinda explains that she had to go through all this to believe in herself, but it almost seems like the Good Witch just wanted Dorothy to do some dirty work. Either way, it makes for an emotional goodbye before waking up in Kansas happy to be living on a farm with no desire to head outside those fences again. Not the best message for young girls, but heartwarming just the same.]]> 2016-12-06 10:30:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleyjacksonx/p20nimlovjvs/wish/141963066 kayleyjacksonx https://padlet.com/kayleyjacksonx/p20nimlovjvs/wish/141963340 Despite the Wizard trying to get out of granting the foursome’s wishes, after he’s revealed he seems fully prepared to dole out the goods. The fun part is the cleverness of his gifts. Not so much actual hearts, brains, and courage but tokens of suggestion. A diploma, medal of courage, and ticking heart alarm clock seem to do the trick. The writing during this scene is the best in the film as Frank Morgan rattles off line after line of quotable, complex, clever dialogue. As a kid I totally didn’t recognise the greatness of that writing.]]> 2016-12-06 10:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleyjacksonx/p20nimlovjvs/wish/141963340 kayleyjacksonx https://padlet.com/kayleyjacksonx/p20nimlovjvs/wish/141963471 Toto spends the movie scampering about and chilling in a basket, but turns out to be vital with this reveal. The big scary smoky face of the Wizard is actually just covering for an old man with a few tricks up his sleeve. And he doesn’t look much like James Franco.]]> 2016-12-06 10:32:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleyjacksonx/p20nimlovjvs/wish/141963471 kayleyjacksonx https://padlet.com/kayleyjacksonx/p20nimlovjvs/wish/141964146 Just as Leslie Knope said, “Skywriting isn’t always positive”. Just as the gang are done getting the beauty treatment upon arriving to Emerald City and prepping to see the great Wizard, the Witch appears to remind them they aren’t home free. The way it changes the mood in an instant from jovial to panic. Just when you think the movie might be about to end because they’ve reached the destination, they still have to take care of the Witch, especially when the Wizard commands it.]]> 2016-12-06 10:36:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleyjacksonx/p20nimlovjvs/wish/141964146 kayleyjacksonx https://padlet.com/kayleyjacksonx/p20nimlovjvs/wish/141964385 The Wicked Witch had her kryptonite hanging on a shelf in her evil lair because out of her own goodness Dorothy accidentally splashed the Witch and melted her to death. To boot, when you think they are about to turn on her in rage you find out Dorothy actually made the flying monkeys and guards super happy because they never liked the Witch to begin with.]]> 2016-12-06 10:37:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kayleyjacksonx/p20nimlovjvs/wish/141964385
