Kenya Barris is the Director of the New FILM. Wizard of Oz remake, has promised to inject homosexuality into the classic children’s film.
Barris stated this week that he supports the far-left Variety, “[W]e’re going to turn a mirror on where we’re at right now and take disparate characters from the LGBTQ community, from different cultural communities and socioeconomic communities, and tell a story that reflects the world. I think this is the best time to do that.”
Yeah, I’m pretty sure adding adult sexuality to a kids’ movie is called “grooming.”
The best part about the book is its last section. VarietyWrite-up: This absurd lie is Barris’s attempt to justifiably strip children of innocence. “The original was an allegory and a reflection of the way the world was at the time with things like the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl.”
Uh, no, it wasn’t.
Not even close, pal.
While the 1939 classic may have been written in Kansas in 1939 to reflect Kansas’ 1939 Kansas, Wizard of OzIt is all about one thing, and only one thing: The importance of home.
Judy Garland’s Dorothy gets her wish. Over the rainbow, she finds a world which is completely opposite to Kansas. She enters a world filled with bright color and adventure… a world where She is SpecialShe wears ruby slippers. Dorothy quickly realizes this. “There’s no place like home.”She quickly learns to value her life and her family. It is only when she loses them that she begins to see the beauty in simple, routine, and boring aspects of her life.
A smaller, but equally important, scale The Wizard of OzRealizing that you have the potential to be successful is key. You cannot be trusted with your brain, courage or empathy. You have to learn those muscles on your own. However, they belong to you and only you, so no one else can take them.
The Wizard of OzThis is about humility and not narcissism. It’s also about becoming a better person.
While it’s true that some see allegories in L. Frank Baum’s novel, Baum himself never conceded this point. The book, despite the fact that it contains allegories, was written decades before the Dust Bowl in the 1890s. The belief is that Baum’s Yellow Brick Road represented the Gold Standard or something. That’s hardly the stuff of social commentary.
The Wizard of Oz — both the book and the 1939 movie — is an enduring classic because it chose to be timeless, not timely. This idiot’s not looking to make his own classic. Instead, he’s looking to make propaganda that will impress his left-wing pals and win him some unearned awards and critical acclaim. To create something, talent is required. Intimate classic. Any hack can do timely.
Keep an eye out ‘There’s No Place Like Home” scene from the classic The Wizard of Oz.
