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.

Not another...

In this 8th last post, I am pondering reading the second novel in this series. Son of a witch (Maguire) is the continuation of the first novel. I have not read the back of the novel, or read any review of it online, but the first novel was really well written, that I think the second novel will be the same.

Judging by the cover, it seems as though Elphaba is back, but someone in in the crystal ball. This could be Liir, or it could be the Wizard. Who knows?

100 Blogs!

Hey everyone! So I decided that I really wanted to make this blog reach at least 100 blog updates so after this update I will have I my eight to go. I am really excited, and I think that once I am finished all of these updates, I will feel truly satisfied. Similar to Elphaba felt throughout the last few chapters of the novel. However, she ended up dead. I hope that I do not end up that way, but everyone does.

I have now completed blog 1 of 9. Here we go.
