Fun special effects movie ``The Wizard of Oz''
The more famous a work is, the more people tend to miss the opportunity to see it properly. A good example of this is the movie ``The Wizard of Oz,'' directed by Victor Fleming and starring Judy Garland. I feel like I at least know it. Come to think of it, I recognized the characters, but I remembered that I only saw the movie at a glance when I was a child.
"The Wizard of Oz" is a children's novel written by Lyman Frank Baum. A young girl, Dorothy, who is blown from Kansas to the land of Oz by a tornado, encounters a witless scarecrow, a heartless tin man, and a weak lion, each of whom share their wishes and her desire to return to Kansas. A story about a journey to the wizard Oz in order to be heard. The movie ``The Wizard of Oz'' is probably the most famous film adaptation.
When I watched it again, I was surprised at how interesting the video was. Needless to say, the contrast between the black-and-white (or rather, sepia-tone) Kansas expressed in black and white (or rather, sepia tone) and the colorful Land of Oz in Technicolor goes without saying, and the actors' masterful portrayals of the scarecrows, tinplates, and lions that look creepy at first glance with their period make-up and costumes His acting makes him look very lively.
The scarecrow walks limply as if it were actually made of straw, and the tin plate looks like rusted metal, making the lion a fun character that doesn't feel like it's just a costume. They are the unmistakable ancestors of Iron Man and Chewbacca. This kind of presence also makes you feel the completeness of the characters at the time of the original work.
