Plot

OZ long refuses to accept travelers, but they achieve an audience and require the fulfillment of promises. Oz confesses that he is a deceiver who does not know how to conjure, and came here from Omaha, being carried by the wind in a balloon. The city looks emerald only because all the inhabitants wear green glasses. Nevertheless, he managed to fulfill the desires of satellites Dorothy: the scary gets brains from bran, needles and pins (Words Game: Bran - Bran, Pins - Pins, Brains - Brains), Leo - Few Drink, making him brare due to placebo effect (according to some Hints, it can be assumed that Oz treats the lion with alcohol), and a tin rover is a heart from Silka, filled with sawdust.

Oz and Dorothy build a balloon from a green slaughter to go home together. Instead, Oz appoints ruler. During the delay, Toto chases the cat, Dorothy is forced to catch him, and at that moment the ropes are torn. Oz flies alone. Dorothy again causes volatile monkeys, but they cannot fly through the surrounding Oz Desert. The guarding gate of soldiers with green bundles advises the girl to ask for help to the good south of the South Glade. They defeat the fighting trees (English. Fighting Trees), carefully sneak through the porcelain country (English. China Country), inhabited by fragile porcelain figures, and fall into the forest, where the lion kills a huge spider terrorizing its inhabitants. Grateful animals elect the lion king forest. Finally, with the help of volatile monkeys, travelers fly over the country of warlike hammerheads (eng. Hammerheads), who did not allow them to pass through their territory.

Glond warmly welcomes travelers and reports Dorothy that she could return to Kansas at any time. It is enough three times to knock on the heel about the heel and call the place, and the silver shoes will postpone their mistress anywhere, even outside the magical country. Dorothy returns to uncle and aunt, on the way to lose the shoes. Calling the volatile monkeys, the mlind tells them to move the lion, the tin cargo and terrible in their kingdom and then returns the golden hat to monkeys, thus freeing them from depending on the orders of its owner.

Interpretations

The work is considered a sample of political satire:

  • Under the larvae of the terrible ("knight" in tin lats), formerly popular images in the American political caricature of the late XIX - early XX centuries, concrete historical characters are guessed - Presidents B. Harrison, S. Cleveland, W. Mac-Kinley, Oil Monopolist D. Rockefeller and newspaper magnate W. Hirst.
However, many scientists and economists who read a book as a political allegorist and a metaphor for political, economic and social events in America of the 1890s, interpreted the ironwall as a "edded" industrial worker, who was exposed to extremely ill-treatment from the Witch of the East, who ruled the country Macchins to a hurricane, who creates a political revolution (the victory of the Democratic Party of the United States in the presidential election after the almost 30-year-old reign of Republicans) and kills it.
  • The witches actually ruled by parts of the magic country were a subtle hint of rich and influential monopolist oligarchs actually managed by the United States.
  • Naive and eccentric cuffs portrayed ordinary citizens, manches, and the volatile monkeys - Pinketon agents.
  • The woodcutter is rusty (honeycomb on the Rockefeller monopoly) and helplessly ineffective, until it starts to work with the terrible (farmer) together, in the coalition, which was actively discussed in the 1890s and took shape in the farm and labor party in Minnesota (eng.)russian.
  • The cowardly lion, according to researchers, is an allyusia for military circles and the US Army, their "revival" during the Spanish-American War.
  • The author disguised the gold in the image of the road from a yellow brick leading to the Emerald City.
  • The peculiarity of the capital of Oz was that all her inhabitants wore green glasses (by the way, staging on the castles), and therefore believed that the walls of the city were built of gemstone. It was on this faith that the power of the Great Oza was held (under which the President of the United States McKornley was meant).

Natalia Grigorieva

More than a hundred years ago, or rather in 1900, the world saw the first book about the country of Oz - invented by the American writer Lymen Frank Baum the fabulous world, where they rule the wizard and live unprecedented creatures. For 20 years, the writer has released a total of 14 books, but even after his death in 1921, the series did not cease to exist and was updated annually. At first, Ruth Thompson, John Neil and a few more authors worked on the history of Oz. And in 1939, Russian writer Alexander Volkov released his first book, written on the basis of Bauum's fairy tales, is the "Magician of the Emerald City". The author was slightly reworked by the plot and characters, so, for example, a girl from Kansas changed his name from Dorothy to Ellie, Oz became goodwine, and good and evil wizards, named on the sides of the world, turned into Gingum, Willius, Steel and Bastinda. The road from the yellow brick remained unchanged, to walk through which the emerald city dreams, probably every child.

This symbol of the country of Oz Everyone will be able to discover and in the film Sam Raymi "Oz: Great and Horrible", which goes into Russian hire this week. As for the rest of the rest, it is worth noting that the director did not shield none of the many books of the series, and he took a kind of background and finally told, where the mysterious wizard came from and what happened in the fabulous world, while he did not bring to Hurricane Dorothy Or, if you like, Ellie.

However, the action begins at all in the land of Oz, although in a place having a relation to the magic - in a wandering circus where the magician Oscar Diggs works (James Franco). His speeches are built on the principle of "Dexterity of Hands and No Fraudes": With the help of a faithful assistant, the hero, being on stage, spectacularly blowing the head with gullible viewers, and in the free time "Pudrit brains" no less trustful girls, without experiencing not the slightest conscience . After all, everything is done in the name of the glory and grandeur, to which Oscar is so striving. Obviously, the tricks are not necessary for everyone - and now an angry husband of one of the numerous deceived Diggs passions, and in part-time Local Salo, chasing the magician, intending to turn her neck. And the Oscar does not remain anything else, how to jump into the balloon and fly away where your eyes look. It is not difficult to guess that, it's worth a basket to tear away from the ground, which is not not taken where the notorious hurricane flies from and delivers the focusing straight to a fairy tale, where he has to get to know three wizards - evil Evanori (Rachel Wece), good music (Michel Williams) and until time before Defended theodore (Mila Kunis). All of them alternately will enjoy each other and share the territory. The appearance of a stranger leads to universal revival, because in ancient legend to bring the world only a powerful magician with the name identical to the name of the country. It will be appropriate to note that friends are called Oscar Diggs not otherwise, as OK, and all his magical abilities fit in the way climbed on the journey of saczoi - the tricks worked before automatism make it take to believe in the supernatural abilities of the hero. At least for the first time. In short, RAM does not have anything else, how to start saving the magic country.

Sam Raymi in fiction is not a newcomer, so that the appearance of the creator trilogy about the "sinister dead men" and "man-spider man" and the author at the same time funny and terrible horror "take me to hell" in the director's chair of the film about the Oz Lab - now nobody dares To deny the fact that in any children's fairy tale, damn at least debund. In this case, however, it turns out to be painted in unnaturally bright, but still a pleasant eye color. In order to emphasize the contrast between the sad habitat of ordinary mortal and magic kingdom, the film tie is the one, where the action takes place in the circus, - removed in black and white and as if on the old, heated film. And it is worth a RAM to be in the fabulous world, the riot of paints begins on the screen. It should not be noted that the echoes of the cinematic last Raymy are here, then there are manifested in this already psychedelic universe - to take at least a porcelain doll with dishtabaths, a character, previously not seen stories about the country of Oz. Or a tightened cemetery and a figure in a raincoat, albeit a wonderful beautiful blonde Michel Williams, - a rare horror one costs without such a mitanese.

But all this can be attributed to the background elements that give the plot of sharpness. In the forefront - the correct fairy tale about the fact that good does not just wins evil, but also makes a man man. From a small fraudster and a dubious hero, exposed to passions, Oscar Diggs, passing tests by flying martyrs and women in wonderful outfits - which is worth one broad-breasted red Mila Cunis hat - turns into a truly powerful lord of a magical country. And the case is not at all in some magic there - the magician to the end remains a magician - and in the acquired nobility.

This instructive not only for kids, but, perhaps, for many adults history, it may still seem tight. And the situation does not save at all, not an intricate visual series with 3D in addition, although in this respect "OZ" is not inferior and in many ways it is even similar to the Burton "Alice", which is definitely a plus and competently selected course under the conditions of the genre. The true charm of the picture is born in the barely noticeable details and strokes brought to the project, undoubtedly, with light hand Raymi. Here and fine references to the mainstream fantasy: so, the duel on the magic chopsticks makes you remember with the bright sadness to remember the history of Saga about Harry Potter. And deprived of the vulgarity of the playful subtext in the dialogues, and balancing on the verge of heroines pervisled outfits, not naked, but tightened into the skin and corsets. And what is the witty metamorphosis, which is happening with the heroine of Mila Cunis. Having chopped the dark side of the force, Theodore turns into a witch with green skin - a fancy symbiosis of the ribbean shreek and the hero of the film "Mask".

Frank Baum

The future author of fairy tales about the magic country of Oz Lymeman Frank Baum There was a long and interesting life path before finding your vocation in a very mature age. He was born in the town of Chittenango on May 15, 1856 and was the seventh of nine children. Parents of the one-year-old Frank received a disappointing verdict: the boy has a congenital heart disease and until his third birthday he may not live. The only thing that can help is a calm measured life away from a big city and regular outdoor walks. Bauma sends a child to ranch, the fresh air of which and regular walks were to go to him. Frank lived on a ranch until twelve, being on domestic training. Subsequently, Frank recalled the country house with a great warmth, calling this place, not otherwise as heara.

However, careflawed life away from the city ended sharply when the parents decided to send it to the military school, where he spent two unfortunate years before was able to return. At fourteen, Frank became interested in publishing craft, it was connected with the fact that the father gave him a printed machine for his birthday. Starting from the home journal, to seventeen years he has already produced quite an adult magazine for philatelists, because he himself became interested in such collecting.

In twenty years, Baum with head went into new hobbies - breeding poultry (he even released a full-fledged book on poultry farming), as well as in trade, including fireworks. Light-based lights on Independence Day were ambitious and traditionally collected a lot of viewers.

At about this very time, Frank seriously fell ill with the theater. However, the first acquaintance with theatrical layouts ended in failure: Baum was deceived by the local troupe, which promised him the main roles in exchange for sponsorship. But over time, Frank is still achieved - he becomes an actor and even leads some semi-professional troupes, and also becomes the author of the bogy plays and songs to them. But here the new attack happens - his theater burns during a fire in which many plays disappears for the authorship of Bauma forever.

Having moved to the west to the town of Aberdeen, Baum becomes the editor of the local newspaper, but also for a while: in a year, the newspaper is closed, and Frank and his wife and three sons again moves, now in Chicago, where it is arranged to work a reporter in "Evening Post". At this time, Frank first thinks about writing for children. He earlier loved to compose fairy tales, including because he did not want his children to listen to "evil fairy tales" of the Grimm brothers. By changing the fifth tens, Baum becomes a children's writer, publishing the "History of Mother Goose".

The Wizard of Oz

In 1900, the main work of Bauma, who made him a classic and one of the main American fairy tales - "Amazing wizard from Oz". Subsequently, Baum released even thirteen continuations about the country of Oz.


The writer most actively worked on theatrical productions and movies in his works. So, just two years after the publication of his first book about the country, the premiere of a successful musical took place in Chicago "The Wizard of Oz"Focusing on Broadway. And the movie "His Majesty, Scarecrow Country Oz" In 1914, Baum not only produced, but also was the author of the script and director. The plans of Bauum even had the construction of a grand fleet of entertainment for children - "Amazing country OZ"- But these plans were not destined to come true. Frank Baum died in 1919 by the sixty-third year of life, leaving the descendants a fairy tale about the adventures of the girl Dorothy and her Totoshki dog in a magical country.

In Hollywood

Work on a full-fledged and expensive shielding boiled in full force after the success of the Disney "Snow White and Seven Dwarfs". Already in January 1938, the largest studio of Hollywood Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer bought the rights to the decreement of the works of Bauma.

Employed legend: When the costumes were looking for once elegant, but now a very worn coat for the hero Frank Morgan, they wandered in second-hand, where they bought a whole rack of a coat, of which Morgan, the main costume and the director chose the only one that all arranged. Later it turned out that in reality this coat belonged to Frank Bauma himself.

The filming of the film began on October 13, 1938 under the direction of director Richard Torp. Almost all the film was shot in color (which was rare for that time), apart from opening and closing scenes in Kansas - they were removed on the black and white film and later translated into sepia. It was done for the sake of a spectacular and unexpected transition from Sepia into color: Dorothy opens the door that is still in sepia (the film for shooting this frame was already color, but the door and walls were brown), and behind it the colors of the magic country. The film was getting color thanks to the Teknikolor system, in which black and white pictures were stained in red and green colors and fastened into a single tape, which made it possible to get the desired color gamut. This method was expensive, since not only consumed a large amount of film, but also needed a specially converted film chamber.

Ten days later, an allergic response on its grima began with Ebsen. The composition with which his face covered, contained an aluminum crumb, which he breathed daily. Ebsen was hospitalized in critical condition, and was subsequently forced to leave the project. The film was temporarily closed. And the circumstances, due to which Ebsen left the project - for a long time they were silent. So the role has moved away.


Jack Haley in the role of Iron Wood

After some time, Mervin Leroy took watching the materials already filmed, which he absolutely did not like him: he had the impression that the director was too in a hurry, because of what the acting game suffered. Leroy decided to replace the buzz, however, a portion of the material footage still remained in the film.

Shooting in color - there were not an occupation from the lungs, the shooting period was stretched more than six months - from October 1938 to March 1939. Most actors worked for six days a week, the working day began at 4-5 in the morning in the grimer's chair, and not earlier than 7-8 pm.

In addition to unfortunate Ebsen, Margaret Hamilton injuries were also injured. During one of the doubles in the scene, where the pyrotechnics were used, she received burns, which led to one and a half months of hospitalization. Coming out of the hospital, she returned to the shooting platform.

On February 12, 1939, Viktor Fleming leaves the project and replaces George Kickor on the "Gone by the Wind". The "Wizard of Oz" again remains without the director. Literally the next day, King Vido is hired studio to finish the filming of the film. Subsequently, Vior will refuse the mention of his name in the credits.

The main shooting period ended on March 16. But there was a need for reference and commencements, which were held during April, May and June under the guidance of Leroy himself.

And ahead of the creators was waiting for a long and difficult installation.

Film output

Already after a number of test shows, Lero and Flevent, it became clear that the timing of the film should be reduced to fifteen minutes in order to approach the duration of the middle movie of the time that was made at the expense of several songs. As a result, the cinema was rented in August 1939 with a timing of 101 minutes. It is in this form that can be seen today.

The film was assessed by criticism, but not the audience. At its value of $ 2.8 million (when recalculating today, this is about $ 47 million) the film collected a cashier in the amount of about $ 3 million ($ 50 million). It turned out in a plus only after re-renting 1949, then another $ 1.5 million (approximately $ 15 million) went to the MGM piggy bank. But it was not all. Cinema and then repeatedly happened on the big screen: 1970, 1971, 1998, 1999, 2002, September 23 and November 17, 2009 and June 30, 2012. And in 2013, Blu-ray is expected converted in a 3D classic film.

There was no movie and without any regalia. So in 1940 the film was presented at the Oscar premiums in six nominations, including the best film of the year. Then the picture got two cherished figurines: the best song (Over the Rainbow) and the best original soundtrack. The main triumphant of the ceremony was another film Victor Fleming and Mgm - "Gone by the Wind". But on this, the achievements of the "Wizards of Oz" did not end: the song "Over The Rainbow" was recognized as the best song of the twentieth century by two two respondents of the American sound recording association (RIAA), and the picture itself took the first place in the list of ten best fantasy films according to the American Institute Cinema (List was announced on June 17, 2008).

Nowadays


"Oz: Great and Horrible": Promo

If the new "Alice" suggested to look at the main character when she has already grew and getting married, and Malefistent retells the plot of the "Sleeping Beauty" from the point of view of the evil sorcerer, then a new picture about the country OZ offers to familiarize himself with the events of the previously classical picture 1939 of the year. The idea of \u200b\u200bmore than hello, because the wizard from Oz is one of the most famous American wizards. Among the next thirteen continuations of classical history for the authorship of Bauma himself, neither the light on the past magazine was never shed.

It was impossible to slow, because the success of "Alice" became a signal not only for disney. All studios engaged in the development of "fabulous" projects, including based on the Magic World of Bauma. So, Warner and New Line began to develop a remake on the script of the 1939 film. The post of director was considered and. Studio Universal worked on a filmmaker of a very successful Broadway Music "Evil" - free reading of the novel Gregory Magivir "Witch. Life and times of Western Westerns from Oz ". The approach was very similar, only in the center of the plot was the green-skinned elf - the future evil witch of the West of the Oz, which was closed by a charlatan named Oz. It is worth adding that this musical has earned in global boxes over a billion dollars. But perhaps the most extravagant option was a gloaling scenario in Hollywood, in which the new Dorothy looks more like Ellen Ripley than himself. They say that he was inspired by Josh collecting figures from the Twisted OZ series - "Perverted Country Oz".


James Franco and Sam Raymi on the set "Oza"

So Rami became the director of the new "Oza". Then the studio had a scenario where Oz was represented by the oil trader with a well-suspended language. Once caught in bed with a married woman, the future wizard in the balloon leaves Kansas and finds himself in the magic country of Oz. The script arranged far from all, and then the laureate of the Pulitzer Prize was hired to bring the text to mind. David has the main character in the magician of Oscar Diggs - inclined to circuit fraud, which during a hurricane takes place in a balloon in the magic country of Oz. Here, Oscar is found with three sorcerers - Theodorea, Evorois and Glenda - and turns out to be drawn into the opposition of a grand scale, as a result of which he has to use all his "magic" arsenal with the addition of Tolika of the present magic.

At that moment it became clear that with the schedule of Robert Downey Ml. Nothing to do, so he dropped out of the project. Studio Disney Facefully began to look for a new star for the project. And he turned to, with which she had a very good relationship after all and "Alice in Wonderland." However, Johnny waited for the opportunity to start shooting in another Disney project, which did not give the green light. Negotiations with Depp about participation in "Lake" have not led to anything.

Then the candidacy arose, the actor with whom Raymi worked earlier in three films. Of course, Franco is not Johnny Depp, but he was quite good in the blockbuster: the guy had a "golden globe" for the best male role on television, obtained by him for the embodiment of the image of James Dina. In addition, literally on the eve of the beginning of the negotiations it became known that the actor was nominated for the Oscar Prize for the main male role, and also information was called that he was called awarding ceremony. It was also of great importance that there was a premiere of the summer blockbuster in the near future with him in the lead role. The agreement was achieved, the contract was signed, and further casting was formed, based on the fact that Oz became a loud.

The course taken by "Alice" remained the same: the film was supposed to go out in 3D, only this time, unlike the Burton film, the cinema was decided not to convert, but to shoot immediately on stereocameras. The film operator became, with which Raymi had already worked twice: on Horrors "take me to hell" and.

But the most important thing - there was a serious and painstaking work on the creation of the country of Oz. The main magician here was the director, a two-time owner of the Oscar Prize (for "Alice in Wonderland" and). Despite the abundance of computer effects, much attention was paid to creating decorations. In addition to the image of all known objects (for example, the roads are made of yellow bricks and an emerald city), Stromberg created completely new and unique: the throne room, a fancy forest (where Oz meets theodore), the Dark Forest (where a good wizard of Glenda appears for the first time) and a porcelain city, Whose inhabitants are made of porcelain. Total Stromberg has developed thirty scenery and followed their construction. The decorations performed were filled with a variety of propulsion consisting of more than three thousand items, of which half were manufactured manually specifically for the filming of this film.
