Every aspect of "The Wizard of Oz" was micro-managed to perfection.
This could have resulted in a disjointed final product, but
instead, somehow, the movie turned out seamless. What's the movie
about? It's about a girl from Kansas transported to an amazing land
of fantasy on a quest to find her way back home. Hold up Rewind.
The opening scenes are all about Dorothy's neighbor, Miss Gulch,
who shows-up riding a bicycle, bearing a sheriff's order giving her
the right to take away Dorothy's dog, Toto, to be destroyed. Then
Dorothy is transported, not to a world of fantasy, but into the
symbolic interpretation of her own life back in Kansas, where each
major character in the Land of Oz sprang from Dorothy's unconscious
mind. This is where we find "Miss Gulch" taken to her extreme as a
most evil witch. Now this is all very interesting, and simple, but
we want to notice the interplay of these characters as working
through a puzzle in Dorothy's mind. The story is not about Dorothy
trying to find her way home because Dorothy has never left home.
She was knocked unconscious in her very own bedroom at the
beginning, and at the end, we find her having not ventured a single
inch from her bed. Her journey is about the transformation of
placement, not merely one's return to it.
