The DARK Truth Behind The Wizard Of Oz...

[@NirovroShoumikHere]

Tbh i am genuinely not surprised that things were like this back in the 1930s but i definitely wish that people could've just hired crazy acrobats in movies so that so many people wouldn't have to be on the brink of death

[@marinamcbain]

Yeah it's crazy! with the use of the toxic makeup, the dangers were already known at that time. But they put the actors through it because it would look better for the film

[@SamirSmith-x4x]

The acrobats wouldn’t be safe either the actual set was doomed 😂 broomsticks exploding wires snapping fire exploding into peoples face now acrobatic Firefighter makes alot more sense

[@SalmahAlalawi-j3v]

I totally agree but I just am wondering about that one other story that you could go to prison if yo7 talk about

24:53 I'm surprised that Judy Garland was even able to sing after smoking over 80 cigarettes a day.

[@JimmyRaeGarlandJimniRàeJ]

Maybe they invented light cigarettes for her???

[@iowatrouble]

My favorite bit of movie lore is the synchronicity between Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of Oz, a psychedelic coincidence for recreational drug users in the 70’s. My least favorite Wizard of Oz fact is the paradox that 14-year-olds in Iowa can legally drive, buy Galaxy gas, sip synthetic lean, work at a slaughterhouse, yet cannot check out the book Wicked from their high school library due to book bans and censorship. A really great video for sure and The Wizard of Oz is a stark reminder of the exploitative nature of the Hollywood system.

[@HeartsforbannasDancemoms]

OMG I LUV UR VIDEOS!! I also feel like Judy Garland deserved better with the kind hearted person she was!!

[@marinamcbain]

Thank you! yes she deserved so much better

[@theoneandonlykyle9800]

It's a miracle that nobody died on set thank goodness. Those people went through pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥 putting this film together.

[@RubyPidgeon]

A munchkin did they hung themselves if you search up the munkin hanging the wizard of oz there’s videos were you can see it in the background this black rocking body because it was so tramumatising.

[@RubyPidgeon]

It was a body

[@RubyPidgeon]

The changed it to make it a big bird

The didn’t know people would see it and if you watch Dorothy looks back 2 times t the body

You are so good at these videos I really thought I knew everything but then I was like oh…

[@Too-obsessedwiththings]

25:55 I kinda get why they didn’t want her. Imagine dying in that lions suit and scarecrow and then you have this unknown actor that could either make it great or fail it all all that effort for nothing that’s probably why they’re mad.

Wowwwwwwwwweee

[@Angelreviewes]

I’m so sorry

[@juju-zr5dp]

Yes, it was a nightmare to make and kinda suprised they didn't abandon it. Its also tragic for all the trouble they cut out like 5 songs( including trimming down songs) and bits of dialogue/ visuals didn't make sense. Still, a beloved masterpiece. They should have tied the best supporting Actress with Margaret Hamilton. I probably would have thought of suing if I was here. Careerwise, it would have been over in those days.

[@joshuajustfine]

The fact that this movie was even completed is crazy... how

[@rsquestingandbossing4071]

These conditions were horrible but we can’t look at the past with disdain. This was the normal back then. We just have to be grateful that people found a way to make everything better and that we don’t need to risk people’s lives over making a movie.

[@Ssimsyz]

You just got a new sub :) I thought you would have like 1m already! This video is so good omg ❤

[@marinamcbain]

ahh thank you so much !

[@TheNathanJasper]

Response to Margarett Hamilton being burned, and realizing she'd be sued if she complained, "I think that sums up hollywood....." Not just hollywood, it pretty much sums up all workers rights in the 1930's especially when it comes to woman and other groups in society didn't really have a lot of ability to speak up for themselves. It isn't as though people were being treated great at the time in factories or coal mines.

[@user-wp1il8zo6z]

It’s amazing to see what is… BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!

Just discovered your channel here, Marina. Your elocution and charisma is off the charts amazing. I'm transfixed by your loveliness. So I subscribed! I look forward to hearing and seeing more from you in the future. You have the voice of an angel and the ultra-radiant beauty of a goddess.

[@amymaurer1599]

Dorthy also burned her face when the witch Disseperred

[@NickSoong]

Recently, I was watching Wizard of Oz-related content on KZbin, and I came upon this video, hence found your channel for the first time. It watched it and reacted so hard when I learned a lot more things from it, and I was quite appalled with much trauma that all the cast members went through in making this *cursed* classic. It can't imagine how much of a fiasco that production had created. Still, since this movie was made during the earliest generation of filmmaking, all studios could learn a lot from their mistakes. And even though performing on set will always be dangerous in general, especially for stunt doubles, the advancements of filmmaking, technology, and safety mechanisms will surely lessen the more risks in productions. Therefore, it's always worth sharing about what was discussed in this video as it serves as a "PSA" to viewers that "the grass is not always greener on the other side." Like the saying goes, "we'll never know what others are going through." Still, I really love this video as it shows that you put a lot of work and research towards producing this video. I also enjoy the style and your expressions for these types of informative as it certainly captures the viewers' attention when you're speaking in front of the microphone. Keep up the great work, and I can't wait to see more of your content really soon!! 🤍 Cheers!

[@SahilTiwariOnPlus]

Another amazing upload! I watched this movie as a teen and never knew these things. I had some idea about the lack of health and safety and mistreatment of women but I never knew it was this bad!! I'm gonna watch this movie once again keeping in mind the things that you said. These actors literally put their blood and sweat in the making of this film which makes this movie more of a masterpiece in my eyes. Also, both my chemistry and biology teachers would be very proud of you for your correct pronunciation of Aluminium and mesothelioma. I have one question tho, my girlfriend also watched this video, is it okay if i still call her my munchkin? 😅

Very informative and educational video, I enjoyed it very much. I did know a lot of the stories you talked about but the one about the wizards coat was just wild and extremely interesting. Gave me chills as well. What they did to Margaret Hamilton and Judy on set was outright criminal and if that was down now they’d probably be in jail. You are an absolutely stunning and beautiful girl and you did an excellent job with this video, I truly enjoyed it.

[@bonnielovely]

phenomenal video!! the history of these books and movies is beyond disturbing l. frank baum himself (the author of the 14 wizard of oz books) was so problematic; he was an absolute monster not only did he make racist political cartoons that were almost certainly a main factor of wounded knee massacre (the largest mass sh**ting in usa history making over 300 indigenous victims on dec. 29th 1890), but he ALSO appropriated the words "red skins" in political cartoons and media because he wanted to 'paint their (indigenous people's) brown skin red with blood.' some of these ads he wrote and illustrated called for literally sc*lping indigenous people that was around 1890. then only 10 years later, in the introduction to the first oz book, he writes about how he doesn't want to write about anything too horrifying or scary for kids in his books in 2006 his family issued a public apology
