The Wizard of Oz

Have you ever been lost before? Were you praying to go home? Well Dorothy knew exactly what you were feeling. In the book-turned movie, Wizard of Oz, Dorothy is whisked away in a twister to the land of Oz. The directors of this movie were Victor Fleming and King Vidor,
In the film, after being whisked, Dorothy meets the Tin man, Lion, and Scarecrow. The 4 quickly get acquainted and become close friends. After learning about each other's needs, they set on a journey to find the Wizard so he can grant them their wishes.
The camera work, editing, sound, lighting, script, and special effects in this movie were very important at this time in film history. This movie paved the pathway for future films because the special effects were new, different, and interesting. The music in the film set the mood for the scenes that it was played in. It brought out the emotion in each character. The main character, Dorothy, was played by Judy Garland. Garland, although captured the character perfectly, overacted throughout the film. Reasons for this might be that Dorothy might have had anxiety and in order to capture anxiety she overacted.
I would recommend this movie to anyone older than 6 years of age. I chose the age 6 because of the witches and loud voice that might scare 4-5 year olds.
In a nutshell, there is not place like home. Dorothy taught the readers and viewers that even though home seems bleak and boring, once you leave, you'll be counting the days to come home.
