Try to explain this movies to kids from another culture/country. How the flying monkeys freaked out generations of little kids-terror at being picked off in the night from the darkened skies. How the witches evil laugh rang through the ears of thousands of kids-identifying with that one aunt, teacher or evil neighbor lady who hated the dog.How even the munchkins-had an aura of danger to them-most terrifying? The lollipop boys with their man voices and grown up scowls.
The Wizard of Oz is an American classic which depicts all the linear lines of good and evil for American culture. No sneakiness. No subtle acts-outright evil and bursting forth with righteousness.
It's no wonder we are so screwed up. lol
