#OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL CAST CHINA GIRL MOVIE#

All in all itвЂ™s a wonderful opening, and one thatвЂ™s within a rainbowвЂ™s width of FlemingвЂ™s introduction.Д«ut the worries were never about what Raimi would do in Kansas the fears (since the trailer debuted at least) were that Raimi had done to Oz what Tim Burton did to Wonderland. After his serial philandering gets him into trouble with a circus strongman, Oz flees in a hot air balloon and heads (you guessed it!) straight into a tornado.

On stage and in his personal life heвЂ™s little more than a showman who aspires to the greatness of a Thomas Edison or Harry Houdini, but deep down is acutely aware of his own shortcomings. Of course, the man who will go on to become the famous Man Behind The Curtain is anything but great or powerful, and he only briefly gets by on the stage thanks to his very own man behind a curtain his assistant, Frank (Zach Braff). Presented in Academy ratio and in black-and-white, weвЂ™re introduced to a stage magician called Oscar Diggs, who goes by the stage name of Oz the Great and Powerful.

RaimiвЂ™s film opens up back in Kansas with a tip of the hat to Victor FlemingвЂ™s original. That may not be saying a lot, but itвЂ™s certainly not a backhanded compliment. It now looks like itвЂ™s a case of when rather than if weвЂ™ll see a film adaptation of the Broadway hit Wicked, but until then at least Sam Raimi will have comfortably pulled off the best big screen Oz adventure since MGMвЂ™s Technicolor delight back in 1939.

ThereвЂ™s no other movie since its release (a not inconsiderable 74 years ago) that has retained the ability to appeal people of all ages, from any generation, all the way through to the present day.ДЄ remake is frankly inconceivable, so instead weвЂ™ve had an animated sequel, a Michael Jackson-starring musical spin-off, and the unofficial (and frankly awful) Disney sequel Return to Oz. The Wizard of Oz isnвЂ™t just a classic itвЂ™s an untouchable classic.
