Write your own 500-word review of the Wizard of Oz. Express your opinion of the film but support your criticism. Judge the story, rate the actors, and evaluate the technical elements. What works, what doesn’t, and why? Remember, this should be a critique of the film rather than a summary of the plot.

Answer:

Nothing comparable has come out of Hollywood in the past few years to approximate the lavish scale of this filmusical extravaganza, in the making of which the ingenuity and inventiveness of technical forces were employed without stint of effort or cost. Except for opening and closing stretches of prolog and epilog, which are visioned in a rich sepia, the greater portion of the film is in Technicolor. Some of the scenic passages are so beautiful in design and composition as to stir audiences by their sheer unfoldment.

Whether ‘Oz’ will pay out on its heavy production investment is useless speculation, wholly dependent upon the breadth of its appeal and the effective showmanship of its handling. Fantasies and fairy stories are way out of the groove of run-of-the-mill film entertainment. ‘Snow White’ reached the peaks of commercial success and drew to theatres a vast casual public which skyrocketed receipts. In some respects, ‘Oz’ possesses the same qualities of technical perfection and story appeal. At popular prices it’s a bargain package for eye and ear.

Such liberties that have been taken with the original story by Noel Langley, Florence Ryerson and Edgar Allan Woolf have vested the yarn with constructive dramatic values. Identification of characters is easily followed, despite transformation of humans into imaginative hybrids. Underlying theme of conquest of fear is subtly thrust through the action. Fairy stories must teach simple truths. ‘Oz’ has a message well timed to current events.

What is on the screen is an adventure story about a small girl who lives on a Kansas farm, which is unfortunately in the path of a mid-summer tornado. She and her dog, Toto, are caught in the twister and whisked into an eerie land of her own imagination in which she encounters strange beings, good and evil fairies, and prototypes of some of the adults who comprised her farm world. Then ensues the long trek to the mighty wizard’s castle, where she and her companions, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion, each seeks fulfillment of desire. Dorothy wishes only to return home. The plot is as thin as all that.

In the playing of it, however, Judy Garland as the little girl is an appealing figure as the wandering waif. Her companions are Ray Bolger, as the Scarecrow; Jack Haley, as the Woodman; and Bert Lahr as the cringing lion. Frank Morgan appears in sundry roles as the wizard, and the good and evil fairies are Billie Burke and Margaret Hamilton.

Behind the scenes are Mervyn LeRoy, in the role of the producer, and Victor Fleming, director. These two, with the assistance of Harold Rosson, cameraman, and a host of technical assistants, carry the load of production responsibility. Of the half-dozen musical numbers by E.Y. Harburg and Harold Arlen, ‘Over the Rainbow’ already is prominent on the air. ‘We’re Off to See the Wizard’ also is a lively tune.

SLENDER MAN DISCUSSION

Slender man is an urban legend that began on June 8, 2009. He is described to have white skin, no face, no hair, and long limbs. He is 8 feet tall and wears a black suit with a red tie. He is sometimes drawn with inky black tentacle-like things on his back that are as sharp as swords. He stalks, abducts, and/or traumatizes humans, mainly children.

He can disappear and appear and he can teleport. Slender man might appear differently to some, since his appearance alters to how one's mind comprehends it. He can also mimic a person's voice, most likely to lure children out of a safe place. He can choose who can see him and who can't.

There are creepy pastas that will scare you with bl00d, m*rder, and g0re. Slender man? He'll scare you with psychological horrors. You might get scared of fields, trees, or even nothing.

"Slender hunts you, but he doesn’t bang on your door, claw at your walls or howl at the moon. He’s just there, standing, waiting in the corner of your eyes. It’s bogus, you know it. You’re just seeing things ’cause you’re tried as sh*t. Or it’s Jake, pulling your leg. Then it gets real, you have to get away. Despite your best efforts, Slender is still there. Always standing, always waiting, always watching."

Despite all the information about Slender man, it's obviously all just fictional. Or is it?
In this video, You Tuber SSSniper Wolf reviews a 911 call. The person in the call says that they see a 'tall man' outside the living room window. Keep in mind this is a real 911 call. Here's the link if you'd like to see it:

How can something fictional still be real? It's not possible that Slender man had existed from the beginning, because he was created out of many different mythologies in 2009.

GUESS THE SONG ITS AN OLD ONE:
I was a lonely teenage bronkin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pick-up truck
But I knew that I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singing
Bye bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levy
But the levy was dry
And good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this will be the day that I die
This will be the day that I die
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
Well, I went down to the sacred store
Where I heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
