Eighty-five years have passed, and the magic remains intact. Imperishable and, fortunately, enhanced by "Wicked."

Taking advantage of the release of "Wicked: For Good," I thought it would be a good idea to revisit this classic, which, after 85 years, continues to resonate with generations.It's been over 20 years since I last saw it, but I can't help but be amazed at how well it's been made.Let's be realistic, we all know what happened to Judy Garland and the tragedy that was her life, closely related to landing this leading role and everything it entailed. We also can't ignore the accidents on set, the poisonings, burns, and near-deaths that occurred in the context of a studio with unscrupulous producers and a film that had four directors.Beyond all that, we have to value "The Wizard of Oz" as an incredible work that has transcended time.No one would believe that it was one of the first films in Technicolor and that it's from 1939! Of course, it has flaws, sometimes pacing problems, editing issues, and also some somewhat exaggerated acting. Nevertheless, it's a colossal work, from the sets and costumes to the music and many of the performances. It marked a before and after in the history of cinema and is one of the great examples of a blockbuster.One must view these films with the perspective of the era; I don't have the same yardstick to judge it as I do with "Oppenheimer" or "Barbie," to name a few examples, which is why I highlight it so much.Judy Garland is incredible; her performance exudes such purity, concern, joy, and humor. She truly was a superstar. The humor, by the way, works very well in this film; it has aged magnificently, and it was truly a delight to enjoy it.I appreciate that the two "Wicked" films connect so well and with such respect, enhancing each other and making this work something timeless and magnificent.

"The Wizard of Oz" is a musical fantasy adventure based on L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.The story takes us to Kansas, where we meet Dorothy Gale, a girl who has lost her parents and lives with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry on a modest farm. Their unpleasant neighbor, Miss Gulch, strikes Dorothy's dog Toto, and is bitten in return. Furious, she returns with an order from the sheriff to have Toto put down. But Toto escapes from her bicycle basket and runs back to Dorothy. Fearing even greater retaliation, Dorothy decides to run away - preferably somewhere over the rainbow...Behind-the-scenes directorial changes are a story in themselves, but Victor Fleming, with help from other contributors, managed to create a cinematic act of magic. The transition from sepia-toned Kansas to the vibrantly colored land of Oz remains one of the most beautiful moments in film history. That transformation pulled me into this magical world - with all its sorrow and wonder.As a child, I was drawn in by the opening tension, and I mourned alongside the orphaned girl who sang "Over the Rainbow." But as the story unfolded, the shift from a modest, rural reality to a fantastical realm of dreams and wishes - frightening yet captivating - felt like pure cinematic enchantment. In that moment, my adventurous spirit awakened. I longed to hop along the Yellow Brick Road beside Dorothy.Years later, after several rewatchings, I came to understand how important home, family, and a safe environment are for a child's peace and security. Fear or abuse often manifest in dreams, projecting inner anxieties into familiar people and places - transforming them into fantastic figures and magical landscapes, where we search for something, or try to escape from something.The film's set design is striking, Herbert Stothart's musical score is brilliant, and the use of color, makeup, and costumes is simply enchanting. Still, I would especially highlight the visual and special effects by Arnold Gillespie. Nearly every scene in Oz bears his signature, but the tornado sequence stands out to me as the most thrilling moment in the film.Thematically, the story is rich - cleverly hidden beneath fairy-tale layers. Beneath its vibrant exterior lies a search for selfhood, a confrontation with one's deepest desires, fears, and challenges. Fleming crafts a gentle trap: the film's "journey" is not just for children - it's for anyone who's ever felt lost.Judy Garland's Dorothy Gale wins us over with warmth, honesty, and longing. Every movement and every note of her voice - especially in "Over the Rainbow" - carry that tender kind of magic, both fragile and strong. Dorothy leads us not because she knows the answers, but because she has the courage to seek them. Frank Morgan portrays multiple roles - from Professor Marvel in Kansas to the Wizard himself - forming a chameleon-like figure of authority, wit, and gentle deceit. He is an ordinary man with no magic powers, but one who inspires others to find their own strengths.Ray Bolger's Scarecrow brings physical comedy and tenderness, his expressions full of subtle wisdom. Jack Haley's Tin Man plays a gentle loner, caught between sadness and joy, while Bert Lahr's Cowardly Lion shows us that true bravery lies in showing our vulnerability.Billie Burke as Glinda embodies light, peace, and protection. Her angelic voice and gliding presence offer healing and guidance - then disappear when no longer needed. In contrast, Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch of the West leaves a powerful impression. Her voice, posture, and energy create fear and tension - she dominates the film even when off-screen."The Wizard of Oz" is a film we needed as children, but one that also finds us in adulthood. It may stir a little melancholy, but that's no weakness - for all great people were once children, only few remember it.
