I just want to say that TWOO is probably my favorite movie of all time. I watched this movie for the first time as a kid many, many years ago and I still will put the movie in and watch it from time to time. I also want to point out that this was the first movie that I bought on Blue ray when me and Justin bought our Blue Ray player on black Friday.
I guess the part that "gets" me about the movie is how the writers made it pretty plain that the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion really already had what they thought they were missing; that their respective problems were in misapprehending their own complete natures. That's a powerful statement for many of us. I found myself most touched in scenes where the Scarecrow was showing wisdom, the Tin Man feeling deeply ("...when I think of Dorothy in that awful place..."), and the Lion...well, maybe accomplishing this effect was harder in his case...what *is* true courage?
Anyway, if you're reading this here, you must be a movie weenie, and you've no doubt already seen the movie, so I'm not going to recite the usual "go see this movie" mantra.
Rating...
10/10
