Reality and Dreams about OZ

First of all, this is the first time I have written a film review, and some of the opinions below are just my personal understanding. If readers feel that the writing is not good or wrong, please bear with me; the beginning of the story is about a circus magician with a wrong mind. Some of Oscar's things in the real world, here from various events actually fully express the relationship between the characters and the characters, that is, in the black-and-white part, it has already hinted at the development of the entire fairyland story behind.
If you are careful, you may find that what the protagonist encounters in Wonderland is actually a portrayal of the real world. My understanding is that the protagonist died after the hot air balloon was swept away by the tornado. I don't know where he was blown, but what is certain is that he was in a coma in the hot air balloon, and the story behind Wonderland is completely the protagonist's dream. The proof is that there are too many "coincidences" between the characters in Wonderland and the real world. ”, and the events in the dream are often the portrayal of real life.
Next, I will briefly analyze some characters in the real world and fairyland:
1. The first is the protagonist, the protagonist is naturally corresponding to the protagonist, the difference is that in the fairyland is the changed protagonist (subconscious), that is, in the hot air balloon When getting into the tornado, the protagonist once shouted "Give me a chance and I will do great things, I promise I will change" In fact, I understand that the protagonist fainted after being here, and then the rest is the protagonist What I saw in the dream, and the first comparison I found, I don’t know if you have any impression. On the hot air balloon, the broken rope and hook were blown strangely by the wind, like a monster opening and closing its teeth. , because it is in front of the protagonist, the protagonist has a deep impression, and you will find that this is very similar to the strange plants that the protagonist encounters in the dark forest later (even the sound is the same) In the film, the fairyland is actually The dream of the protagonist in the real world, and these are all realized one by one in the dream, Great and Powerful, in Wonderland, the protagonist goes into the vault, and there are countless gold coins in it (these are all the things the protagonist wants and the real world has only a few A coin), the protagonist became a great magician (although it was a fake), but he was also admired by thousands of people and finally defeated the witch, and also married with a kind witch (true love in the real world), the name of this continent is the same as that of the protagonist , in fact, this is the subconscious of the protagonist.
2 The strong man chasing the protagonist in the real world may be compared to those flying chimpanzees. After all, this is the last thing that happened in the memory of the protagonist in the real world, so why is the protagonist chased by these monsters immediately after he goes to Wonderland (and the back The protagonist has also chased the protagonist many times), the protagonist subconsciously turns the people he fears into these monsters, and there is a small detail, when the protagonist is chased in the real world, the only white dove in his clothes flew away (I took it in the cage before), but in the fairyland, I took out a white dove to attract the chimpanzee away. This unreasonable existence just shows that this is just a dream.
3 The protagonist's assistant, FLANK, is actually the monkey FINLEY in Wonderland (the name is pronounced very similar and there is no wood), in fact, the dubbing of the monkey is also done by the protagonist's assistant (just adding a little effect), and a more careful audience can find it They both look alike. (The expression is exactly the same) As for why such a picture appears, it is easy to understand that the protagonist imagines his assistant as a monkey in the dream, and in the film, the protagonist also said a dialogue to his assistant "of course not, you are just a trained monkey.", and here is already a sneak hint. And these two characters have a lot in common. They are both loyal to the protagonist. Another detail is that the protagonist's words "OZ, the great and powerful" are often talked about in the real world, and his assistant is introducing The protagonist also said it, but the strange thing is that when the protagonist of Wonderland made the monkey convince others that he was a magician, the monkey first said "the greatest and most powerful". Is this a coincidence? In the back, when the monkey is helping the protagonist to deceive the evil witch, the sound effect in the carriage is the same as when the assistant played the protagonist before. Pay careful attention to the movements and expressions, and you will find a lot in common. The former assistant mentioned that he is the only friend of the protagonist, and the protagonist disdains it, and the protagonist who has become better at the end of the film finally becomes a real friend with the monkey.
4 Ceramic girl, it is easy to find that the prototype of this character is a girl in a wheelchair who performed magic before, so that the protagonist can make her walk again, and in Wonderland, the protagonist uses something like super glue to glue the ceramic girl's feet. , which is also a contrast, things that cannot be accomplished in the real world can only be realized in dreams. And the ceramic girl and the girl in the wheelchair are actually played by the same person (not verified), and they like to cry.
5 Glinda, the witch in the south, is obviously the protagonist's lover Annie in the real world. The protagonist treats this girl in the real world obviously differently from other girls, and this girl understands the protagonist very well. I think this girl is the protagonist's true love , the protagonist likes her very much, but he refuses to give in and be an ordinary person (in fact, there is another reason that he is more diligent), so in fairyland, that is, in a dream, he can have a lover with her and finally get married.
As for other characters and scenes, there is no one-to-one correspondence. If I say here that it is because the protagonist's imagination is rich, it is indeed a bit unreasonable. There must be a lot of the same elements, the crystal city, the image of the evil witch, and the good southern witch, the cowardly lion, the winged monkey and the chimpanzee, the craftsman and the dwarf, and the ceramic girl, all in the original. The characters I've seen before, and the big head made of smoke behind OZ is actually the same as the image of the wizard OZ in "The Wizard of Oz", and the front and back echoes are still in place. In general, even if it is a prequel, it does not mean that this is not a dream. Readers can compare it with "Alice in Wonderland". Do you think Alice is dreaming or is it really in Wonderland? This is for the reader to think about;
finally I want to sum up this movie with a line from the movie that I like very much "greatness? No, better than that, goodness." Not everyone can be a great person, but, We can all choose to be good people.
