The Wizard of...Oz?
|
| An interesting movie to watch for anyone who wasn't or was aware of this silent "Oz" movie. However this movie does not include the yellow brick road, the munchkins, the ruby slippers, the talking trees, the dog Toto or the witch. The farmhand who would become the Tin Man is kind of a bad guy trying to win Dorthy's heart, like Brutus would Olive. Apparantly Dorthys uncle is also a bad guy who chases the farmhand, who would become the scarecrow, around the farm for what feels like half an hour. It's all a bunch of Charlie Chaplin slapstick comedy with the bad guy not being able to catch the hero of the scene. A weird twist occurs when, in Oz, the three farmhands, who also travel to Oz with Dorthy, dress up in disguises, in an attempt to hide from the soilders of oz and pretend to be the infamous characters that Dorthy meets (in the book and 1939 version) along the way, altering (or destroying) Dorthy's experience of actually meeting a talking lion, a man made out of tin and a talking scarecrow. The movie is so different from the 1939 movie and 1900 book that I actually liked how each scene was becoming more bizzare and distant from the classic Judy Garland movie that has become impregnated in our minds since we all first saw it as kids. For a unique interesting movie, five dollars is a generous price. Enjoy a really different version of a classic American story. For two more older versions of Oz, check out the three-disk version of the 1939 movie. Included on the third disk is an older 13 minute version from 1910 and an 8 minute animated version from 1933. It also has this 1925 version as well as 2 other Oz movies, "His Majesty, The Scarecrow Of Oz" and "The Magic Cloak Of Oz", both from 1914. |
