The Wizard of Oz (Gift set) Reviews
THE GREATEST FILM OF ALL TIME
The Wizard of Oz, I can safely say, is THE GREATEST FILM OF ALL TIME. I've been watching this movie for the last 20 years of my life (I just turned 20) and I've never seen any other film as much as I have this one and I have never gotten sick of it. It's a fun-loving, fantasy-driven, warm-hearted tale that everyone can relate to. The fact that the majority of modern cinema takes from this film is just another attribute to what makes this film so incredible and classic. It's timeless and every generation will love it, guaranteed.
I have to agree with the reviewer below about the bonus interview with Oz expert John Fricke that comes in the Ultimate Oz laserdisc edition. That is a loss but there's so much in this package that is worth of praise that the there's no room for complaint or any negativity. This DVD deluxe edition is completely out of hand. It not only contains the 1999 release of the film with all it's bonus materials and extra footage, but it also contains 6 photographic stills and the original 1939 script with everything that was taken out of the film italicized. It's truly amazing and a must-have for all Oz fans.
Gift set not worth it.
Nobody could ever claim that "The Wizard of OZ" is not a wonderful film. Ever since L. Frank Baum wrote the original book in 1899, the story has captured the hearts and imaginations of children and adults alike, the world over. Encoding this film onto a DVD is of course a necessity for film lover's. It is wonderful to see the film and all the other extras on a DVD. The documentaries about the making of and the history of the film are wonderful, and very informative. However, the film is sown in full-screen. It really would have been nice to see it in a panoramic view, the way it was filmed. Also, the gift set is simply not worth the price. It is interesting to see the original script and some photos. The photos may be rare, but that does not mean they are good, or interesting. My advice: buy this DVD, but opt for the regular issue, not the gift set.
