  • The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Sabato 17 Dicembre Ore 16.30
    The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Sabato 17 dicembre ore 16.30 The Wizard of Oz is a 1939 American musical comedy-drama fantasy film produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and the most well-known and commercially successful adaptation based on the 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. .Restless teen Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) lives a dull life on a Kansas farm with her Auntie Em (Clara Blandick) and Uncle Henry (Charley Grapewin). For entertainment, she looks to dog Toto (Terry the Wire Terrier) and three farm hands, Hunk (Ray Bolger), Hickory (Jack Haley) and Zeke (Bert Lahr). Still, she feels underappreciated on the farm, and when a mean old neighbor, Elmira Gulch (Margaret Hamilton), threatens to take Toto to the pound, she decides it’s time to run away from home. After a brief run-in with fortune-teller hack Professor Marvel (Frank Morgan), Dorothy decides to return home — just as a massive tornado strikes — “It’s a twister! It’s a twister!” Dorothy is knocked unconscious by a broken window, sparking her crazy dream that the house has been lifted inside the cyclone (with she and Toto inside) and dropped inside the magical Land of Oz. Destination: Munchkinland. Address: The head of the Wicked Witch of the East. Naturally, the witch’s sister, the Wicked Witch of the West (Hamilton), is mighty pissed off. She confronts Dorothy — and her little dog, too — but Glinda the Good Witch of the North (Billie Burke) steps in to protect her. She gives Dorothy the magical Ruby Slippers off the feet of the Wicked Witch of the East.

    American Cinema of the 1930s SCREEN AMERICAN CULTURE / AMERICAN CINEMA DECADES Each volume in the Screen Decades: American Culture/American Cinema series presents a group of original essays analyzing the impact of cultural issues on the cin- ema and the impact of the cinema in American society. Because every chapter explores a spectrum of particularly significant motion pictures and the broad range of historical events in one year, readers will gain a continuing sense of the decade as it came to be depicted on movie screens across the continent. The integration of his- torical and cultural events with the sprawling progression of American cinema illu- minates the pervasive themes and the essential movies that define an era. Our series represents one among many possible ways of confronting the past; we hope that these books will offer a better understanding of the connections between American culture and film history.

  • The Wizard of Oz
    The Wizard of Oz The Wizard of Oz, motion picture about a girl from rural Kansas who travels to a magical land, based on the 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. Released in 1939, this Academy Award-winning box office hit film is one of the most-watched films in motion-picture history. Judy Garland stars as Dorothy Gale, who is caught in a tornado after a run-in with a disagreeable neighbor, Miss Gulch (played by Margaret Hamilton). The twister carries her off into the air, along with her house, some cows, a neighbor still busy at her knitting, and Miss Gulch riding her bicycle. Then Gulch transforms into a witch, and it becomes clear that Dorothy isn’t in Kansas anymore. The house lands in Oz, a magical land inhabited by Munchkins, fairies, witches, and flying monkeys among other unusual creatures. A good witch advises Dorothy to follow the Yellow Brick Road and seek out the powerful Wizard of Oz, who can tell her how to get home again. In her travels she meets and befriends a scarecrow, a tin woodsman, and a lion, each of whom hopes that the Wizard can cure his own special malady. The jolly group is pursued by the powerful Wicked Witch of the West, whom they must ultimately confront.

  • PATRIARCHY and the WIZARD of OZ by Andrea J. Chalfin This Paper
    ABSTRACT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN: PATRIARCHY AND THE WIZARD OF OZ by Andrea J. Chalfin This paper deals with the social situations and gender codes that led to the production and subsequent mass consumption of the 1939 MGM film, The Wizard of Oz. The central issue of the analysis is the way in which the film serves to support social gender codes. By outlining patriarchal control in the film industry and utilizing an ideological and theoretical backdrop, The Wizard of Oz fits the mold of a “woman’s film.” Its recuperative qualities serve to reinforce social gender roles of patriarchal control for the audience as well as Dorothy, and the battle between good and evil is actually an illustration of proper and improper behavior for women, as defined by patriarchal society. With Dorothy as the negotiator between the two, her journey is about learning her proper role and realizing there really is “no place like home,” a physical locality to which she is now happily bound.
