Title: Goldi Doesn't Know That The Wizard of Oz Was Written In 1900

Goldi's Theory on the "meaning" of The Wizard of Oz

Did you hear the story that the Wizard of Oz was actually written as an expose on the bankers who were intent on stealing the USA's gold...(accomplished in 1930)?

-------- I was told that OZ refers to the weight of gold

"follow the yellow brick road" was a reference to Gold Bullion

The man behind the curtain, was the evil bankers planning their theft/heist

The munchkins = We the people

Wicked Witch of the West = The President - by making gold possession illegal

Flying Monkeys - IRS Agents

RED Shoes - blood that must be shed to regain freedom, and return HOME

There may be more...but I just heard about it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A) The book was written in 1900.

B) The name "Oz" came from a label on a drawer of his filing cabinet "O-Z".

C) Baum died in 1919...14 years before roosevelt took office.

D) Color was invented in 1939 during the filming of the movie. Prior to that everything was in black and white. Baum wouldn't have known what "red" and "green" and "gold" were.

E) Just kidding with "D"...checking if you read this far...

I stumbled on a silent movie version of The Wizard of Oz about two years ago on satellite TV.

I didn't realize remakes have been going on for that long. Edit: Now that I think about it, yes I have. e.g Cleopatra and others.

Ben Hur and The 10 Commandments were remakes. If you think about it live play revivals are "remakes" of a sort as well.

I think of remakes as a lack of creativity - or a desire to make big bucks from a good plot a generation later. Maybe both.

I think that is narrow thinking. "True Grit" was better than the original John Wayne version for example. Sometimes you need to do a remake to get a movie right that was not made correctly the first time. Other times you need to remake a movie so that it can be up to date with new viewing technology - for example remake of a silent movie to a talkie like Ben Hur.

Sometimes a movie from the past seems dated because acting styles changed.

Just look at movies and their acting style before and after the 1970s. Movies before the modern era look stilted and corny and fake compared to movies in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Compare a western movie from old Hollywood to an Italian spaghetti western and see the difference in styles.

The American westerns seem stiff and corny compared to one of those Italian westerns.

I like the original and I haven't watched the remake, not that I won't one day. When I do I'll let you know if I think it's better than the original.

I'm getting old enough to see too many remakes and funerals.

"I'm getting old enough to see too many remakes and funerals."

I second the notion.
