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

[@BIGOSAMAAA23]

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

[@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

I mean they died due to complication so

[@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.

[@a.m4863]

The director seemed like a terrible person

[@marinamcbain]

absolutely

cruel is a better word for that

[@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.

[@LE-zy2od]

Why is wicked banned

[@SophieVanHelsing]

@@LE-zy2od if it isn’t banned for extremely sexually explicit material and violence on par with Berserk it’s banned for a gay scene and the fact it’s staunchly anti fascist. The latter is more likely

[@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!

[@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.

[@WesPage-e2u]

This poor girl she had to do drugs diets smoking at such a young age and this probably made her look beautiful and good so that’s probably why a lot of people tried to grope her. Judy didn’t deserve that she didn’t know the price of getting the lead role.

[@MyLoverIsMusic]

Your voice is so calming! I love watching to your videos ❤

[@Kt33373]

Is she British or American?

[@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.

[@Acorn-dv2iy]

The movie freaks me out a bit tbh old movies just give me this uncomfortable feeling

[@mindyschocolate]

Shirley Temple was under contract by a different studio (Fox I think) that prevented her from working for anyone but Fox. MGM was asking to loan her out, but there was fighting between her studio and MGM over the loaner contract (Fox likely wanted a cut from the movie profits that MGM didn’t want to dole out). A deal couldn’t be reached so Fox cancelled Shirley Temple as Dorothy.

[@Hazel-s4t7y]

The alcohol really made me mad like the witch got burned but at least she was kind but why would he grab her hand like girl what happened. 😞😞😞😳😳😳😳litterly this is so sad that this happens to ALL OF THEM! Like what the heck were they doing this is just so insane. Like did just Hollywood not care cause this is torture.

My aunt is from Grand Rapids I remember her telling about Judy Garlands red slippers getting stolen. I'm from ThunderBay,Ontario,Canada. I also watched Judy Garland's biopic. She used take a of pills. People in Hollywood made her take uppers to stay up.

I’m just wondering what the nurses were thinking like that many ppl in hospital?

[@tj_.official]

I live in England and when I was in primary school I used to have to read a story called "The Cyclone". it was about a girl and her family (her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em). A cyclone was going towards her house so they all went into a cellar - a cyclone cellar, but dorothy didn't make it. she was swept away with the house and thats when she landed in Oz. however the story didn't even mention that, nor did it mention it was a part of the Wizard of Oz, I only found out when I was about 10-ish that it was actually connected since that was when I first watched the Wizard of Oz. People also call what lifted the house into the air it a "Tornado" but it was actually a Cyclone.

[@spike16965]

Such an abusive system Hollywood is, and the movie itself is dark just like the book. Sad what they all endured especially Judy

[@Country.Aesthetics]

16:36 my family is from Kansas and it’s actually the girl who didn’t get the role as Dorthy who did that and apparently they put the scene in bc they didn’t want to retake it you can hear a faint scream in the background. You can even see Dorthy look twice because she knew something was wrong please do not cite check on me bc it could be a rumor but this is what a lot of us have been told

[@just_korbin]

the bird was a replacement, nobody had noticed the body in the background because they were wanting to get the scene done

[@BD-three3]

I’m pretty sure the body was a rumor but I may be wrong

[@just_korbin]

@ its true, my mom works on a lot of investigations and she found that is was true and he might have done it because judy rejected him after he asked her out
