Follow The Yellow Brick Road : The Wizard Of Oz

The conspiracy regarding the Illuminati has circulated for several years. This theory states that, “there is a ‘global elite’ society that is either in control or seeking to take control of the world” (Citation). Beliefs regarding the Illuminati conspiracy are prevalent in recent books and movies, reaching the cult fiction perception. A significant example is The Wizard of Oz, written by L. Frank Baum. The history behind The Wizard of Oz proves that this story line has had an essential role in the occult world all along. Associations of occultism, Illuminati rituals and Monarch Programming exists in sequence of books with satanic activity and intellect controlling it along the way. Viewers perceive The Wizard of Oz as an innocent fairytale, though the story has a deep symbolic meaning pertaining to the use of the Illuminati.

     First off, the biggest difference is the time periods of each movie. The older movie was set in Early Renaissance times. The newer movie is set in the early ninety’s. Another difference is the use of special effects. In the

To begin, the first difference I observed between the book and movie is that the movie has a different opening scene than the book. The movie starts out with Ponyboy writing in a composition notebook on a page titled “The Outsiders.” In the book the beginning scene is Pony boy walking

Some things are different in the book and movie. Like Sunset Towers and Money in both versions. Sunset towers is luxurious in the book but a bad place to live downtown. The money the will was worth 200 million but in the movie it is worth 20 million. Another difference is that the Wexlers moved to Sunset Towers because they had no money, but in the book they moved because they had money. In the movie Jake Wexler is paying off his debt though they have money in the book. Jake Wexler is a

Finally, the last way in which the book and movie are different is how Oz gifts the characters. Scarecrow wants a brain so he is the first to speak with Oz. In the book Oz gives scarecrow a brain made of bran, pins, and needles. Whereas in the movie he gives him a diploma and Scarecrow instantly knows all. The Tin man is next in receiving his gift from Oz. He gives him a heart made of silk stuffed with sawdust in the book. In the movie Oz gives him a testimonial that make the Tin Man very happy. The Cowardly Lion is after Tin Man and he wants courage. In the book Oz has him drink some green liquid, while in the movie he gifts him a medal of honor. Dorothy is the last to get what she wants. In the book she has to goo on another journey, but to see The Good Witch of the North in order to get home. She doesn’t know how she will get home now

Influence is the capacity or power of persons to produce an effect on the actions of others. Victor Flemming, the director of the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, depicts a message that revolves around the reversal of power and gender roles. Moreover, Dorothy is a child in her physical presence but lives the role of a hero as she leads the scarecrow, lion, and tin man to the Wizard himself. Through the archetypes such as the hero being a women, Cultural values, and the stages of the journey, Flemming raises the argument that in this case those who don 't have much influence in society are very influential in the Emerald City.

The single most important component associated with managing a successful organization, entails the empowerment of employees. People that are empowered are able to make smart decisions without always having to rely on authority, to point them in the right direction.

One difference was the appearance of the characters. Meg was mentioned to have glasses and braces with acne in the book. However, in the movie she has no glasses, no braces, and no acne. Charles looks pretty much the same in both. But, Calvin was said to have red shaggy hair, instead he had brownish-blackish hair. Another difference is that in the book, Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin were led to the three witches through Charles. In the movie they were lead to the three witches through a crow. The crow went to Meg’s window and Meg had a feeling to follow it. The last difference is that in the book Meg jumps onto Charles Wallace in the CENTRAL Central Intelligence building witch causes him to crack his head on the tile. This scene does not happen in the movie. Instead, Meg just tries to talk to him through communication, nothing physical happened and no contact was

Here are some differences with the characters. Meg one of the main character's in the book has glasses and braces, but in the movie she doesn't have braces or glasses. Another main character is Charles-Walace and in the book he is five, doesn't go to school, and can't read, but in the movie he is six go's to school, and can read well. These are the differences

Our research topic was on how influential the Wizard of Oz was and how its impact changed the entertainment and dramatic arts industries. We decided to choose a topic that was interesting and something that almost everyone would have some knowledge about. In our project we addressed the characters, music, and the values of the film. The Wizard of Oz is one of the most influential films in history. It was one of the first movies to be filmed in color and whole production cost set a record at MGM studio with the movie costing 2.8 million dollars to make. The success of this film opened so many doors for other movies. Something we also found to be interesting was that The Wizard of Oz was the first videocassette tape released by MGM and CBS Home Video nearly forty years after it hit the big screen.

The Wizard of Oz is one of the most important cultural films directed by Frank Baum from the twentieth century, that will never get old. The movie was an immediate hit, and was one of the most famous films of all times. When the Wizard of Oz was released, the movie’s popularity wasn’t much help in meeting universal’s criteria. In the film there are a variety of interesting scenes like, Dorothy and her friends traveling on an adventure to satisfy their desires. There are also popular songs in the movie like “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” that became popular because of the movie.

But the new version of the movie spent more time on the scenes of the movie to make it more interesting and action packed. Both of these are good it just depends on personal preference. Examples of this are the old film earned an award for best imaging and best motion picture. While the other film got great reviews on the chariot scene. The new version of the movie has gotten up and down reviews and is currently rated a 5.3-10 stars on IMDB and the older version has a rating of 8.1-10 stars on IMDB. Both of the movies have similar storylines, a Jewish prince is lied to and he is sent to prison and his name is Judah Ben-Hur he is slaved for over five years, and he finally escapes after the five years. He is worried about his family back home, and wants to find them after he escapes. In the two movies both of them are very similar in the storyline and they both of course have different actors, if I were to pick which one I like most I it would be the 2016 version, it is more action packed and catches my attention more. Both of these films are rated PG-13 and targets the ages

One big change that is noticed instantly when watching the movies is the removal of Peeves. In the books, Peeves the poltergeist is a mischievous spirit in that roams the school and torments students and staff. Despite this, he is beloved by readers as he appears in pretty much every book, seeing as he is connected to the wizarding

As the years go on the movie industry are starting to look back on the movies that we all know in love and try to recreate them to get that feeling of enjoyment once more. What’s hard about recreating a movie from the original from is that it could alway be a bit dodgy. Take Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for example. Tim Burton directed the 2005 film and took the warm-hearted and wholesome film filled with awe and wonder and turned it into a something like that and more. Knowing Tim Burton’s work, his style is a bit unique; some would say weird. But that’s what people like about his movies; they love that they’re weird and different than anything else that they’ve ever seen. Even I love that about his work. Watching the original film titled Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and looking back to what the movie represented to all of us as children ,I feel that both movies have their own qualities that make them individually good .
