"The Wizard of Oz" in my mind is a thatched house dangling in a tornado, a romantic journey to wonderland, I have forgotten how this impression came about. I watched the movie version a few days ago, and it seemed to be different from the story in my impression, everything was just Dorothy’s dream. What kind of little girl is Dorothy, oh no, maybe she should be called a girl. She is innocent, kind, optimistic and enthusiastic, which can be seen from her love for Toto and her willingness to take three friends on the road without hesitation, and encourage them when they want to give up. Maybe she yearns for adventure and freedom, otherwise, this dream will not start. The fairy tales for children may not be so complicated and bizarre. It is good to attract their interest and arouse their exclamation. It may bury a brave seed in their hearts, or it may only leave them with a turbulent thatch. Room. But as an adult, I can see different feelings. What kind of trip is this? In one word, it should be: look for. Dorothy is looking for her way home, the Scarecrow is looking for a smart brain, the Tin Man is looking for a beating heart, and the Lion is looking for the courage of the king of beasts. A journey of finding is also a journey of gain. Wisdom, love, and courage may be recognized by medals and certificates, but there is no gain in overcoming challenges and confusion all the way, without the unity of mutual encouragement and never giving up. They In the end, it will not reach Liuli City. The journey of searching is a journey of self-growth, and the desired fruit is always obtained unconsciously in the process of searching. The result is very important, so don't evade any challenges in the process, and stand up to any temptations in the process. Home is a warm word. A comfortable environment, familiar relatives and friends, and another important factor: love. Dorothy couldn't wait to go home. It was the meticulous love of her uncle and aunt, and the constant care of the three servants. So it is love that calls her home, and it is the servant who accompanies her home, transformed into three different images. It's no place like home, Dorothy woke up with these words, maybe she cherishes home and love more, and cherishes the little bit of getting along with friends. This is a movie about love and growth.
