In 2013, Sam Raimi who came Drag me to hellhis return to terror after him Spider Man Trilogy – took a trip in the rain Oz the great and mighty. An unofficial prequel to 1939 The Wizard of Ozit’s like 1985 Back to Oz Is its illegal association, Oz the great and mighty It puts the focus on its title character. It speculates that he is the ruler behind the mysterious ruler of the Emerald City and how he came to rule after confusing his way there.
So, in other words, it’s not the same – Ms and Bad: goodBringing a new perspective to a familiar tale by exploring the life of a person called Dorothy. The broadest, most obvious problem comes with the casting of James Franco as Conrivation Magic Oscar Diggs, who finds himself in Oz when his Host Air Balloon catches fire in a Tornado.
Raimi couldn’t have known that Franco would get into trouble off-screen a few years later Ozrelease. By the early 2010s, he was stuck at Raimi’s Spider Man movies, strong Oscar nominations for 127 hourshe rescheduled the reboot of the franchise Rise of the APES planetamong his many credits. But allegations of sexual misconduct against the actor are emerging; Filed in 2019 in 2021, according to Variety. He took a step away from Hollywood during the controversy, and his career never recovered from the heights.
Showbiz is full of actors and creators who have fallen from grace, because the reasons behind Icky are actually criminals. And how you look at the work of Woody Allen or Johnny Depp (or The Jowny, JK Rowling, Ezra Miller, Armie Hammer, Roman Polanski … The list goes on) is a choice. Maybe you don’t live by their actions, somehow. Perhaps you can temporarily separate the art from the artist. Or maybe your emotions are so strong they interfere with your enjoyment of whatever you are watching.
Oz the great and mighty It has a negative meta-text attached to it, in that Oscar-Oz’s short decades – it is written as a complete decline that turned out to be much of his charm. He has a whole character that is characterized by reluctance; In fact, the reason he ran away from Kansas was because one of his winners was involved with the circus Strongman, it’s understandable to kick his ass with this situation.
When he crashes into the lands of OZ—after a thrilling Tornado sequence filled with scary moments reminiscent of Raimi, the boy who made Evil Deadit calls for a gun – our Wanabe Houdini meets Theodora (Mila Kunis). A doe-eyed witch this page The Great Wizard All the people have been waiting for, destined to take over the throne that has just come out of Oz.
Because Oscar has no moral compass – this is the point Oz the great and mighty Is it so that he can grow, although he needs a lot of help to do so – and it seems that he is an attractive man who once started walking on the yellow brick road, he easily deceives Theodora.
We know you will break his heart; There’s his past behavior to consider, as well as those flip-flops and roll-ups he did when he started talking about being together forever. He’s completely blinded when she catches him, and his heartbreak scares him when his country sister (Rachel Weisz as Evanora) uses a sinister backup to transform that shocking Western.
Obviously this is not a story of origin that does – Ms Such an uplifting submission is also for women at Lank Baum Standout. Things take a turn for the worse when the newly skinned witches of oz spy: A beautiful southern witch, a beautiful southern soul, a beautiful soul like a golden haired farm girl that gets under the skin of oz.
Green is the color of jealousy, after all. But the movie’s choice to turn TheOdora into a vengeful double-seeker is necessary to send the plot; Evanora is able to maintain her good facade until evil is defeated, at which point her inner hag also moves on. Oz the great and mighty let them both live, of course, because the (good) people of OZ aren’t allowed to kill each other, and also because we need two witches there The Wizard of Oz he chooses the plot a few years later.
However, even if you can put James Franco out of your mind and pretend a different handsome face is playing Oscar instead, Oz the great and mighty It has another very important sticking point in the movie and it’s incredibly frustrating. by Wizard of oz Fans know well, the wizard is powerless. He uses stagecraft and gadgets to trick people into thinking he’s thinking, at least until Toto literally pulls back the curtain on his 1939 climax.
And- Oz the great and mighty It has a certain following of tens of opportunities that show the humble abilities of OZ, and the inventions inspired by Thomas Edison – which the munchkins and other good fellows helped him to build – that helped him create illusions and defeat the witch sisters in the end. Ingenuity beats magic! It’s fun until you think back to all the Times Glinda – directly magic to stop other witches from doing something bad with – those Magic, and you wonder why oz (the world) is so invested in Oz (this man).
It is assumed that they still need his charisma and ideas to lead them to victory, which makes a certain amount of sense. But why can’t people just put their trust in Glinda, with all her fog banks and giant bubbles?
Of course, the movie is called Oz the great and mighty. So you need that character to be the focal point, even if the movie is really called The Wizard of Oz it’s not really about him. But it still feels awkward and a little disappointing with the hammer in the power struggle between two women – three, when Theodora sees her power – waiting for a male wizard to come and take the throne.
That pleading (if necessary, continuing) point of the story is almost as disturbing as the James Franco factor. And it’s really bad, because Oz the great and mighty it’s actually a pretty good movie in every other respect. It’s clearly made with a lot of love The Wizard of Ozand the added joy of seeing raimis of Istar Easter eggs (Yep, that Bruce Campbell as one of Evanora’s soldiers) sprinkled throughout.
While the 2013 ERA special effects were clearly written now, they still did Oz the great and mightyColorfully colorful, it creates the world of OZ that we know from the 1939 movie – but in a way that feels true to the content, not in a scary way like The Wizard of Oza funky makeover for the sphere. As well as Lush, if it is clear that the green ban, back support and productive doll, there is a china doll that will live with the geey king and the disgusting glinda as they feel towards the toxic toxic existence.
by Bad: good is preparing to hit theaters, and that Las Vegas Specklecle continues its AI dominance, The Wizard of Oz He planted that flag with a new generation of viewers. Oz the great and mighty It is, and it’s not an unpleasant way to spend two hours. But if the desire to prevent strikes is extinguished cinematican, we suggest Back to Oz-It is not very interesting and twisted take that world over the rainbow, in all the best ways – like increasing instead.
