The Wizard of Oz

There's no place like home, but how's life over the rainbow? The Wizard of Oz is directed by Victor Fleming and King Vidor. Fleming directed all the color scenes and Vidor directed all the black and white scenes.

The Wizard of Oz ia all about a young girl named Dorothy. Dorothy wants to leave home to keep her dog Toto. When a roaring tornado spins rapidly Dorothy's life is turned up side down. She goes on an adventure in the land of Oz, meeting three new friends along the way; a scarecrow, a tin man and a loin.

The Wizard of Oz was made in 1939. Because of it was made in the late 30's the camera work, lighting, special effects and script were very advanced. There was very good camera work, but it was pretty noticeable that they were being used but the backdrops emphasizes color. in some scenes the backdrops overlayed the actual set. The paintings on the backdrops were wonderful. This film wasn't only a movie but also a musical, so there was alot of play on sound. They had to have the singing, music and acting all insync. With that being said, all the music scenes were excuted with finess. There was a fair amount of special effects. They were pretty good for the 30's, if watching closly, you can figure out how it was done. This movie was very much over acted. The over acting helped the film.

Yes, I would recommend this movie, to children between the ages of 11 and 14. This is because children between 11 and 14, they are going through a phase where they dont want to be in the house and just want to have fun all day long. Children younger than 11 also just want to paly and have fun but thy wouldn't understand the over all theme; There's no place like home.

In this movie "The Wizard of Oz" Judy Garlin stars as Dorothy. A young girl on an adventure in the unknown land of Oz. This movie is very enjoyable, to add to that, it is also a musical. If you want to find out what Dorothy and her newly found friends encounter in Oz... Go see this movie!
