The Film

The film adaptation of the original novel, is probably the best movie adaptation of a novel in the history of the world. I love the film, and reading the novel beyond the film was just another incentive for me. My favourite part of the film was when the ruby slippers vanished off of the Wicked Witch of the East, and appeared on Dorothy. Those shoes, were so gorgeous! (Can you tell I love shoes?) Anyway, I also loved the part of the film when the horse changed colours. At this moment in time, I am learning how to green screen and use certain film animation techniques, and changing the colour of something is very hard. I bet it is really simple when you know the technique, but I am not fully trained yet.

My least favourite part of the film is when the flying monkeys are all over, and flying through the air. I was young when I first saw the film, and since then I am still frightened. Reading the part of the novel when Elphaba was performing surgery on the monkeys to give them wings, creeped me out.

If this novel were made into a movie, I do not think i would go and watch it. I think that it would ruin the novel for me. I know that there is a musical, but that is much different than a movie. First of all, songs have been added, the scenes would have been dramatised, and there would be more main characters.
