what the heck is the wizard of oz myth?

Question

i was just reading someone's question about that and i've never heard of that so can someone please explain?!

Answer 1

Oz is a fictional land conceived by L. Frank Baum and first described in his book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900). He wrote 13 sequels before his death in 1919. Upon Baum's death, Oz publisher Reilly & Lee commissioned a 19-installment continuation of the series from Ruth Plumly Thompson; long-time Oz illustrator John R. Neill added three more books to the series. Four other books by other authors were added over the years. These books make up the "Famous Forty," often referred to as the "canonical" works of the Oz canon—though many other "Ozzian" works have been written, some as pastiches or parodies, some intended as sincere "imitations" in the best sense of the word.

The Wizard of Oz maybe you will have to watch the movie or read the book if it has you so intrigued

Answer 3

The Wizard of Oz is the first great American fairy tale written by L. Frank Baum. The fable's themes are good against evil....(Dorthy and the Witch).... and personality improvement where the Scarecrow has a better brain than he thinks.... the Tin Man really has a heart and the Lion has more courage than he suspected. Finally..........that a loving home is the safest place on earth and we should not dare forget it. It is a story loved around the world and its themes apply to any age.

Answer 4

Oh, yes. I recall the stories about the hanged man... But I don't believe it was a Munchkin. It was supposed to be visible during the scarecrow's dance, in the back of the woods behind him. But then, originally, the scarecrow's dance stretched out two or three times as long, and was cut by the directors. The hanging feet could have ended up on the cutting room floor too!

Answer 5

guess it depends which myth you're referring to. There are a few from what I understand. The "hanging" man is there, but it has been reported to be the image of a bird (crane I think). I've watched the movie by frame and you can see something in the background in that scene.
The story also supposedly refers to the economy. The Tin Man represents the iron workers...the Scarecrow, the farmers etc.
Wonderful movie in my opinion..

Answer 6

Couple of possibilities:

1. that an actor playing a Munchkin hanged himself on set and it's visible in some shots in the movie.

2. that if you play Dark Side of the Moon starting with the last lion's roar in the MGM card, the movie and album sync up eerily.

Answer 7

I believe they are referring to the story of the Wizzard of OZ,
Of course there is no Wizzard of OZ but the underlying theme was that all is not lost and you can go home again and life goes on. Dreams come true and happiness is where you find it.

Answer 8

that a disgruntled worker who had been fired hang himself on the set and taht you can see his feet danging from the trees if you look really hard during a certain scene... i've no idea where its supposed to be and i doubt its true.. but... thats it.

Answer 9

There's no place like home.
