Interesting facts & Stuff...
You may not have realized this when you were a kid, but everything in the movie The Wizard of Oz actually stands for something. [Allegory]
The fact that the movie was at first in black and white then transferred to color represents the dull boring life of farmers until she enters OZ, a "utopia"
The Wicked Witches of the East and West represents the east and west coast factory workers of the farmers.
The Scarecrow who needs a brain represents the stereotype that farmers are dumb.
The tinman who needs a heart represents the emptiness of factory workers who only produce goods for money.
The Cowardly lion represents Politicians, and the fact that they say things they are too afraid to do.
The Wizard of Oz, or the man behind the curtains represents presidents. Big in title, but small in reality.
Munchkins: Freed slaves (dorothy house kills the witch)
flying monkeys: Native Americans
Toto represents home
& LASTLY.... Dorothy walking over over the yellow brick road with her supposed to be silver shoes like as said in the book not red is telling the audience that the author [L . Frank Baum] preferred money to backed up by Silver, not gold.
