A nickelodeon sketch of Dorothy, a scarecrow, a cyclone, and a wizard, not 1939.

The review

Dorothy, a scarecrow, a cyclone, a wizard. Selig, 1910, one reel, taken from the book and made for a nickelodeon rather than a palace. A child can watch it. I watched the way you look at a postcard of a place the family already thinks it knows. Glad the card exists. Unwilling to call it the trip.

It is not the 1939 picture. Say that before the cyclone, or a small child will hunt for the rest. The book is the source. The film is a sketch of it. I would rather they learn that a sketch can be honest by staying small. Read a chapter if you want room. Put this on if you want to see how early a movie grabbed Oz, and let it end like a reel.

Live Historic number 38. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Casper

50 instead of 38

Casper is still a fantasy film, and it scores 50 instead of 38. What you gain is household: A bereaved father and daughter.

The eight

3
Industry
Selig's reel is a nickelodeon sketch, not a trade practiced on screen.
4
Household
Dorothy is the child in it, and the reel never builds out a household.
2
Piety
A cyclone and a wizard are the events, not a test of conscience.
4
Courage
A cyclone starts the reel, and Dorothy is the child sent through it.
2
Republic
No law or neighbor-duty is the point of this one-reel sketch.
5
Temperance
One reel for a nickelodeon does not train you to wait for a sequel.
6
Truth
The book is the source, and the picture is a sketch, not a palace.
4
Stewardship
A child is left a small sketch of Oz, not the 1939 film.

The review

The only grown sentence is the first one: tired men try to outsource the watching of the world, and the thing they built does not love the world. That is an old warning, and it is the right warning for a decade that kept handing judgment to a system.

Then Sokovia lifts and the warning becomes a set. Stay if you want the argument about who gets to build a peace. Do not stay for the peace itself. The film does not have one. It has a sequel.
