There's No Place Like Home

There is no place like home. There is no place like home. There is no place like home.
I really want to go home, so for me to read about Rushdie who cannot ever go home makes me really sad. However, it does help me see his points.

"The makers of The Wizard of Oz clearly decided that they were going to make their colour as colourful as possible, much as Michelangelo Antonioni did...The Wizrd of Oz likewise goes for bold, expressionistic splashes."

Rushdie would expect There is no place like home. There is no place like home. There is no place like home.

The makers of The Wizard of Oz clearly decided that they were going to make their colour as colouful as possible, much as Michelangelo Antonioni did...The Wizrd of Oz likewise goes to be apart of the Indian culture because it fits into the standard type of movie the culture produces and enjoys watching. Bollywood is what it is called. This genre of film has a lot of color and shapes to help move the story. This has also shaped what cultures enjoy watching. The Indian culture being one of them. This especially applies to the song because this song is the first song sung by the munchikins. Munchikins are small and very playful and lively and colorful and happy characters. This brings in the appeal of a Bollywood auideince.


"If asked to pick single defining image of "The Wizard of Oz" most of us would, I suspect, come up with the Scarecro, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion and Dorth s-skiping down the Yellow Brick Road."
Rushdie would say that this movie is one that people of all ages can appreciate. Each age watched devleops a different view on the movie. Whether that image is more knowledgeable or you see things from a different view point. Because of where this image is, it plays a role into the rst of the movie. It provides a level of entertainment, yet at the same time provides an example of the journey people go on to find home again.


"No I am watching a videotape, watching it with a notebook on my lap, a pen in one hand and a remote-control zaper in the other. I am subjecting The Wizard of Oz to the indigients of slow-motion, fast-forward, and freeze-frame...I am seeing things I never noticed before."
This further talks about how the movie eveloves from being something that a 10 year old boy or girl can enjoy and then become something that helps you understand the meaning of home. It talks about how the movie changes and its meaning changes. Rushdie would say that the children are singing the song from the movie because of globalization and how it affects cultures. He would say that the children will have a different opion if they go ever go back and re watch the movie...as does everyone, because the first time people do not notice everything the movie has to offer.
