“There is no place like home!” Well according to The Wizard of Oz, it is. This movie directed by Viktor Fleming that got adapted from L. Frank Baum’s book changed the way film is done today. Dorothy passes out after a window hits her in the head and she arrives in a mystical land. While shes there, she met 3 new people: a scarecrow, a tin man, and a lion. They go together to get their wishes from Oz.
The special effects in the movie were the most important. The bubble for the good witch was the hardest effect made. It was the first time the technicolor camera was used. It expressed/overused the color on everything. For example, the bow on Dorothy’s head was bright red and the glitter on the good witch’s dress would sparkle every time she walked. The acting was overacted because of so many new effects. For example, when Dorothy slaps the lion and he starts crying. All of this shaped how film is used for present day.
I would recommened this movie for everybody because the film was really good for 1939. You will be in awe, like I was with every little special effect and camera angle.
The Wizard of Oz was the first film that made everything change for the rest of our lives. I would give this movie a 79 out of 100.
