RiffTrax: Wonderful Land Of Oz (Full FREE Movie)

[@coogrfan]

A couple of notes on the extraordinary life and career of director Barry Mahon. In 1941, before the US had entered the war, Mahon traveled to England and joined the RAF. He flew Spitfires as a member of the Eagle Squadron, scoring five victories and winning the Distinguished Flyting Cross. Shot down over the English Channel in August 1942, he was captured and spent the remainder of the war as a POW. He made at least two unsuccessful escape attempts before being liberated by Patton's 3rd Army in 1945. This experience would lead him to serving as a technical advisor for the 1963 film "The Great Escape", in which Steve McQueen would play a character based on Mahon. After the war Mahon became the personal pilot for Errol Flynn, which led him into filmmaking. He made a number of low budget action/horror/nudie films before drifting into (of all things) children's films.

That anticipatory "I dont want to be a statue" song is brilliant. Every musical goes the conventional route and introduces their leads with an "I Want" song, where you learn about what they've always been and what they've always dreamed of becoming. It takes a truly original show to introduce a character with an "I DON'T Want" song, where we learn nothing about who they are or what they've dreamt of, but definitively learn why they don't want to become something terrible they were suddenly and randomly threatened with a few seconds before. Genius

I can't stop watching this one. It comforts me, maybe more than the original Wizard of Oz does, at this point. Also, the music is half catchy, half TERRIBLE. The songwriter has this weird chord progression they default to in the 'Statue' and sleeping 'Star' songs and I hate it. I don't have the music theory vocab to explain it, but somethin' ain't right. However, I kind of like the opening singalong and the witch's tune. Also, anything to do with the Witch ("DTF?" "Radagast the Brown was a very generous lover") and Jack (his strangely high voice, odd posture, and "I'll be out here....with the axe") is hilarious.

@@noahkarpinski1824 well first of all that doesn't disprove anything, if you want to write a book that's an allegory, you would absolutely write a dozen books that are an allegory. secondly, I want to say he kept writing more and more Oz books because publishers wouldn't buy anything else from him. But yeah it's still not true.

[@rocketdave719]

Some guy came up with that b.s. interpretation over six decades after The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was first published. If Baum really intended the book to be an allegory about monetary policy, I think somebody would’ve noticed way sooner.

[@majkus]

On the other hand, the Army of Revolt in 'The Marvelous Land of Oz' was pretty transparently a gentle satire of the suffragette movement (which makes the idea of a cryptic and encoded economic allegory in the first book even less likely). Baum's mother-in-law was Matilda Gage, a famous early feminist activist - it is plausible that the unusual idea of 'good witches' in the first Oz book was inspired by Ms Gage's writings. So Baum was having some fun with the movement, but was likely sympathetic with their political aims. In any case, Jinjur's army is not only a topical satire: the theatrical musical of The Wizard of Oz had been quite successful, and Baum knew that a line of dancing girls in colorful costumes would be a big sell for a stage adaptation of this sequel. In the book, the men of the Emerald City beg the Scarecrow to restore the status quo. Not because women should be put in their place, but 'doing housework and minding the children is wearing out the strength of every man in the Emerald City.' 'Hm!' said the Scarecrow, thoughtfully. 'If it is such hard work as you say, how did the women manage it so easily?' 'I really do not know,' replied the man, with a deep sigh. 'Perhaps the women are made of cast-iron.' In the end, when order is restored, 'it is said that the women were so tired eating of their husbands' cooking that they all hailed the conquest of Jinjur with joy.' It was more fun re-reading these bits and quoting them than it was to watch that awful film.

[@Shamandigi62091]

so by this movie's logic, the nome king never needed the ruby slippers or to tunnel under the deadly desert to invade the emerald city he could have just walked up to the front gate and said "HI I'm the nome king and I'm invading your kingdom then I'm doing the nome equivalent to hookers and blow in the throne room"
