The Wizard Of Oz | Psychological Analysis | the heart's desire and the guilt of journey 

Yes, the fact I said this film has amazing special effects for its time is undermined by my later discovery about some of the horrors behind the scenes of this film...and also what Judy Garland was put through... I probably should've researched that before, not after, making the video...

It's fascinating to note that Margaret Hamilton, the actress behind the nasty Wicked Witch, was a friendly, loving woman who had once been a kindergarten teacher prior to becoming an actress. In fact, she once appeared on Mr Rogers' show to explain to young viewers that she was only pretending to be mean.

The witch is *very* scary when you're little. She has a loud voice and she's so aggressive, she threatens to kill, her cackling laugh - she's not really scary to an adult but when you're five she's terrifying. Great video!

Has anyone else read the Dorothy Must Die series? It's a phenomenal dark take on Oz, showing how distorted and bleak things became when Dorothy returned. It's a hard series to talk about without spoiling it, but it is severely underrated.

My biggest take-away from this video, something I'd never pondered before even though I've seen The Wizard of Oz dozens of times over the years, is the parallel between the Wicked Witch and the Wizard. Both of them are full of bluster and show, but not much more (in terms of tropes, their greatness and evilness, respectively, are nothing more than informed abilities). In the grand scheme of things, the witch is as much of a threat as the Wizard is of assistance. Thank you for pointing out something I've missed for 50 years

"I'll never leave again" is probably just meant to be interpreted as the kind of black and white statement a young girl her age would make, with very limited ability to conceptualize how much she will change as a person as she grows older. I mean, how old was she, eleven? Was that right? When I was that age, I never would have dreamed that I would end up changing in the ways that I have.

Rest in peace, Judy Garland.❤🙏

one thing to keep in mind: while judy was 16 during filming, the studio made a concerted effort to try and make her appear younger: putting her on a diet, binding her bustline down, childlike hair/wardrobe, etc, hoping to get her to pass for something closer to 12 or 13.. . it was arguably not all that successful, but knowing that might help explain some of the childish naivete of the character that doesn't quite land otherwise (falling for professor marvel's routine, vowing to never leave home again, etc).. . execs at MGM did briefly consider going with a younger actress for the role, but at the end of the day, it was a big budget musical and judy had the voice..

The books came out first around the turn of the century and have even less of a cohesive message. Mostly just fantastical and fun. I liked one theory talking about how this movie was trying to convince women not to leave the home for work. It’s an oversimplification but an interesting one to think about with the time period the film was created

I never found any part of this film boring. To me it's perfect.

To be fair to the wizard, in the scene where he gives the gifts he does explain to each of them that they always had what they were seeking, "and they have no more brains than you have..." etc. The trinkets he gives them, I think, are given as reminders to themselves that they indeed possess great intelligence, compassion and courage. So those gestures were not quite so empty.

I kinda hate the 'it was all a dream trope' but this movie still seems revolutionary for it's time. Loved this breakdown ! Small creator here 🖐

This was on tv all the time when I was growing up. Maybe it’s just certain holidays cuz it’s been a while since I’ve seen it too. But wow, never to have seen this film?!? Parents: get on that!! This is a classic!!

The quote of "Only Bad Witches are Ugly" has never quite resonated with me. The idea that someone's morality can be linked to their appearance just seems a little bizarre now, and might give impressionable audience warped, unrealistic standards of beauty.

Excellent analysis. I disagree though that there’s no real fear of danger in the film. You watched it for the first time as an adult but the witch and winged monkeys are frequently cited as too terrifying for children. I think the film has the perfect balance. Interesting for adults but appealing to children.

Dorthey may have abandonment issues/trauma coming from what ever happened with her parents. she desperately wants her aunt and uncle to protect her from the world (like her parents would have) and when they cant/wont, these feelings shift to guilt, she thinks she is the cause of people abandoning her (her aunt dieing due to her running away) even though its not really rational.

You absolutely have to make a video about Return to Oz, or at least watch it. It's very very underrated mostly because it isn't related to the original movie and people weren't expecting that, or expecting it to be so dark. It's extremely creative though and there's nothing like it.

Per the transition from sepia b&w to technicolor. That part was essentially from the original book. It goes into great detail about how the farm, the surrounding Kansas landscape, and even Dorthy’s aunt and uncle are all gray and drained of color from the sun and the other elements, with the only lively, colorful things being Dorthy and Toto. Then when they land in Oz, everything is bright and colorful.

wow the movie is way deeper than i realized

Dorothy is a child. She doesn't understand that Miss Gulch is threatening her aunt and uncle with losing their farm if they choose to disregard the letter she has from the Sheriff. I don't know what the time period was supposed to be, but if the movie takes place during The Great Depression, it would be understandable that her aunt and uncle are hesitant to lose their one source of income (and that of the farmhands).

The Wicked Witch of the West...the first Bond villain?! :D

The Witch could have easily ended Dorothy immediately. But, what was the fun in that (from her perspective.) She took joy in watching Dorothy's anguish. That was why she set the hourglass, and left Dorothy to literally watch her the rest of her life drain away.

I think the ending when shes saying shes never going to leave means she wont leave herself and not escape into things that she is trying to grasp outside of herself. So within, so without

I thought for sure you were talk about the flying monkeys, and that psychological phenomenon, where the term came from, which was this movie.

Okay 4 in the morning and I’ve never seen your videos , and I’m a bit drunk. Let’s do this

I like the Dr. Phil jab lol.

I can't explain to you how much I love your video. I can't believe it doesn't have more likes

Very cliche to say, but this is probably my favorite movie

Its a Wonderful Life would be good to analyze. My friends love it, but I never really did. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is one of my favorite movies ever. It's kind of just fun, but I think that there could be an interpretation in there somewhere.

You couldn’t have released this video like two months earlier? I went hitchhiking and was incredibly disillusioned about the nobility of it.

I really enjoyed your interpretation of The Wizard of Oz. I think it's important to consider the time in which they decided to adapt this story for the screen - and in color for the first time. The Emerald City wasn't actually green, but appeared green through Emerald-colored glasses until everyone accepted that this was the true color of the place. The people therein believed without questioning what was going on around them. As a result of the dust bowl and the introduction of tractors, people had been leaving their farms in droves and heading for the cities in search of work. These cities would've been completely foreign worlds and difficult to adapt to; making it easier for people to get taken advantage of or swayed to believe rhetoric, because they never really questioned what was going on around them. Just my take.

now i am really, really interested in what your take on the sequel "Return to Oz" might be. Dorothy is younger in that movie but far, far more emotionally mature and deals with far, far more complex issues and themes.

I look at Toto as her ego; leading her in to trouble, fearing the death of it and searching for gold. She loves Toto more than her family. She realizes throughout the film that wherever her ego leads her, she will find peace through honest love and not necessarily just through the love of her own ego.

I'm sure this film can withstand multiple interpretations, but what jumps out at me now (though I last watched it maybe 15 years ago) is how much its message is ideological and conformist - it's clearly telling children to be happy in their circumstances now, and to stop hoping for change.

A few years until the MOVIE becomes public domain! YAY!

I've never found this draggy or dull, but then I love kid stories, fantasy, and musicals. We all have different tastes. Oddly, I never caught the rather unsubtle point about the three companions already having what they were searching for until I saw the point being made again in The Wiz. I guess that's because I first watched it as an uncritical moppet and didn't think about it much, I just enjoyed the music and the visuals. When I did think about it more deeply, I thought the "I'll never look farther than my own back yard" message to be rather disempowering. Despite all the excuses of she's a young girl and her view might change later, I thought it was a reflection of the 1940s - 50s script for girls to be passive and docile. Do we have any stories from which boys are supposed to get this message? Boys of this age are expected to be forming fantasies of the grand accomplishments they're going to achieve some day.

This is perhaps the most informative AND direct analysis of ANYTHING I've ever seen! Good luck

A couple of years ago I read all the books with my son. In the second book Dorothy does indeed go back to live in OZ and she takes Aunt Em with her. She does go off and have adventures without Aunt Em though.

Isn't the whitch just pissed that Dorothy killed her sister?

Please note that many people were trying to ban the books out of school library’s, and this went on in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, as well.

I'm off to see the video, your wonderful video on Oz!

Thank you for this! I really enjoyed your thoughts on "The Wizard of Oz". Every time I watch "The Wizard of Oz" I find myself at one of life's crossroads. As I get older I see the film in a different way. One line, at around 13:08 really struck a chord with me " ...growing up, finding independence on some level does naturally mean hurting your parents.." Oh definitely as I'm the parent of an amazing daughter who is forging her way in the adult world as she is graduating from uni this summer. It does hurt, but that is how it should be. Letting go is difficult for me but seeing her taking huge steps into her adult life is also so beautiful too.

Can’t wait for the return to Oz review

I remember I was 4 when I first watched this film. I lined up a few of my baby dolls and a glow worm on the sofa to watch it with me. My mom had Christmas decorations out and I found the sparkly garland. I used it as a boa, lol.

Actually, in the book ("The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz") that this film is based on, Dorothy's journey to Oz is most definitely not a dream. She literally journeys to OZ. The later books chronicle the further history of Oz, mostly with Dorothy as a character, but sometimes without. Dorothy eventually moves to Oz permanently with Aunt Em and Uncle Henry.

Good job thought tree. The books will lead you on a crazy mind-bending ride.

I really enjoyed this video. The parallels in the film run a bit deeper when you realize that the main actors are double-cast; Dr Marvel is the Wizard, Ms Gulch is the Wicked Witch, and the lion, tin man, and scarecrow are all characters in Kansas as well. I've also heard that the original text by Baum might have been written in direct response to late 19th century US politics, in which interpretation the Wizard is, in fact, the federal government. My, how things have changed 🙄

22:40 made me tear up

It amazes me how you and other academicians gut this simple story of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" that was written solely to please children of today and aspires to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out.

Self contentment is like a firefly. It's a bright blink of light that comes to life in the dark, and disappears as quickly as it appeared.

i think her saying i will never leave again, via what you said so far could be like a small regression from guilt but not necessarily the long term thing she will stick with.

In the books it isn't presented as a dream. You'll find the books are a completely different experience, quite brilliant, and that, though MGM veered dramatically from the book, they kept true to the spirit of it. Audiences in 1939 could not accept a fantasy as simply a fantasy. On the brink of WW2, one foot had to stay firmly on the ground, I expect, hence the dream trope. Also, the medium of film was invented to be a medium of fantasy. Prior to this film, audiences did not take easily to the use of color in movies, as, for them it represented reality. With this Oz movie, it was the first time the fantasy was presented in colour, which also adds another layer of consideration to the analysis of the picture. With WW1, the Great Depression, and WW2 almost back to back, cinema was a welcome medium of escape. I would be very interested to hear your analysis of each book, as well as the subsequent films. (There are also silent films that were made in the earliest part of the 20th century that you might enjoy. After the book was published in 1900, a stage musical was created just a couple years later, which achieved great success.) Excellent videos! Keep them coming!

Tree this was so fun to watch and hit me right in my nostalgia bone. I have so enjoyed your content and have loved your videos especially on Katie and The Dead Poet’s Society. As someone who wants to major in psychology and become a therapist these videos have just been incredible. Just as a request for a future video I would love to see a video about Wall-E and the concept of love being powerful or a video about Up and how we as humans deal with grief and the cycle of grief into acceptance . Keep doing what you are doing because it is fantastic.

Nicely done. Very insightful and enjoyable. Thank you.

Thank you. Enjoyed this. I first saw the Wizard of Oz when I was a teenager which was quite some time ago. When Dorothy sang Over the Rainbow it was like my soundtrack.

This was an excellent video, thanks for making it!

There is a deleted scene about a dialogue between auntie ‘‘em and uncle Henry mentioning Dorothy is an orphan.

Great explanation about the wicked witch of the west.

Excellent review, thanks! Gives me another way to look at the ending (Dorothy seemed a little too passive, I like that she found something within herself). At the risk of being that guy, definitely read the book. Much more action, the lion is as fleshed out as his companions, and more engaging. Would recommend them through book 3

Some people are always like: « why didn’t Glinda told Dorothy about the slippers’s powers to bring her home? She’s evil » (although she was kind of wrong for taunting the wicked witch with her sister’s death and sending Dorothy on a life threatening quest.) But, at the beginning of the movie, Dorothy was constantly begging for help to everyone around her and she would had remained that way if she teleported back home after killing the witch of the east. But with her journey, she rescued the scarecrow from the pole, helped him realize his wisdom, rescued the Tin man from staying rusted, helped the cowardly lion get brave, she freed the winkies from the wicked witch’s tyranny and made the wizard realize he doesn’t need to be the « wizard » everyone thought he was. With the journey, she became wiser, heroic rather than running away from troubles.

Also, I would think there is a good message to those who have grown up in rural areas and think that bigger cities will answer all of their problems or poorer people thinking that money will answer all of their problems. If you aren’t happy poor you probably won’t be happy rich.

I played The Sour Kangaroo in my community theater’s production of Seussical when I was 12. It was the first time I was ever casted as a (relatively) major character so this show holds a special place in my heart and it was fun to see where it started

Back again, having watched and enjoyed. While occasionally tedious in repetition, I understand it is important to get the ideas laid out. Like listening to great music, understanding the how and why does not ruin the spell but enhances our appreciation. Your insights seem quite correct and bring even more wonder to this wonderful, mythical movie. Thank you.

This video felt too relevant to my life.. I'll try harder not to rest when I feel I'm finally about to make important progress!

nice vid, I always liked the symmetry of the the people and items found in Kansas and Oz, like the crystal ball, the deliberate use of the characters, it then becomes interesting that her aunt and uncle are not in Oz and what this means to this pseudo ideal world. The books are different in many ways but you can see the purpose driving this film there are hints of the films backdrop of the Great depression which was gripping America with Oz as some future Roosevelts Dream even down to the cyclone which wre a scourge in that era wiping out farms and crops. Maybe even the stay at home message dont leave your family and farms even though times are tough, we need farms to feed people, do your duty, maybe the death of her parents are caused by this, as a metaphor the witch may represent poverty and economic depression that if you water the land it becomes fertile and it recovers killing the witch. The witches land is dark and withered. And Oz in his big city trying to create wealth and glamour is the role of the President. personally when i was a small child i found the witch very scary so i think you need to bare that in mind and when it was made I imaging it was a very scary site for a society who would be less desensitised. From a dream point of view also the bucket of water in the face is a literal wake up call and starts Dorothy gradually coming out of the dream. And Ozs Sanctum that looks like the Temple Of Apollo in Ancient Delphi which had the words "Know Thyself " inscribed (I thought you were going this direction with the Oedipus reference as it is in the Sophacles version). Return to Oz is very interesting and is dark for many reasons some less obvious for example the Nome kings justifications for his actions.

This was sooo good!!! Thank you 🙏🏽

Great Video man💪🏼 I really liked the book but never had the time to check out the movie. Liked your take on it though🙏🏼

Dorothy in the books was 6, so she was very young and still very focused on her parental figures. Her Independent streak in the film and her mindset is at odds with her visual maturity being played by an obviously older actress.

Your videos always make me cry

Waiting on “it’s not your fault” episode 6 with bated breath.. Love your work, would love a video/q&a with advice to people thinking of becoming a psychologist or a similar career in that field.. Keep up the good work!

Nice video man..thanks!

Great video, but now you should help us all integrate the experience of watching Return to Oz. We need a Therapist's touch

It it absolutely brilliant and Margaret as the witch is absolutely terrifying even as an adult. At least to us who are indeed young at heart.

Miss Gulch (the neighbor who wanted Toto killed and is represented the wicked witch) was basically the first on screen Karen haha.

It’s one of those movies like The Shining. You can watch it 100 times and still find new ways to look at it

If you do read the books, I'd be fascinated to hear your thoughts on them. Baum was more interested in wacky creatures and silly banter than deep themes, but there's still a lot of interesting material. The "Return to Oz" movie from the '80s isn't half-bad either.

Remember though, in the 30's children were supposed to be obedient, so when she goes home in the end and vows never to leave again, she's being a "good girl". The film to me is about a girls experience of growing up and finding herself and her independence. It's scary and you have to be brave. But "home" is a myth we are taught in childhood. Once we grow up, home evaporates. That's what makes me bawl in this film. You can never go home.

I never thought I would really watch this again, but here I am and writing (again) having enjoyed your analysis (again). Talking about grieving and the Oedipus complex makes me think of Disturbed's heavy metal song 'Down With the Sickness'. The long version is quite disturbing and talks about child abuse and the feelings of hate, of wanting the mother to die, that can be activated in a child (the sickness?). Your review of it would be of interest, but perhaps not enough substance for a full episode. Like film, music can reach deeply into our psyche. But this brings me to another, much longer musical work that may relate quite nicely to 'The Wizard of Oz'. If you agree, it might make its own episode. Being English you may know of the Genesis work called 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway'. Currently consumed by this artful music, I am struck by how much of what you said in this video could relate to this brilliant album. The rock piece is a bizarre journey of self realization that mirrors 'Oz' in ways I never thought of until this instant. Being a creation of the '70s, their music has a darkness and sense of consequence that you say the 'Oz' film lacks. Perhaps 'The Lamb' is also naive, but its mystical dreams, symbolism and metaphors might be real grist for you to explore. If you have not listened to the entire double album/CD, please do. As a concept album it is not a waste of time and I would love to hear your ideas on how it progresses and what psychological nerves it exposes along the way. How this could be presented, I admit I can not fathom. Sadly, Genesis never put together a movie though Nathaniel Barlam (Jan 2020) has a wonderful animated version on RU-vid. Thanks for reading (if you have). I thoroughly enjoy your sensitive explorations and eagerly wait for the conclusion of your 'Katie' series.

Thanks, this was really well done for only having seen the movie once. Especially for NPR liking musicals.

she's back in her home, woken up from the dream...(or was it a dream....) back to the dilemma over Toto biting Ms Gulch.....

Storytelling for this movie is why it's a classic and yes a bit dated. I even know about the dark things that happened while making the movie. The fact they had to recast Tin Man due to Buddy's severe allergies to the make up they used, to even Judy's drug addiction that eventually killed her. Hollywood is dark even with today. It's not a secret these days after all. I still love this movie because of how it came out. Technicolor was brand new around this time which is why it goes from black and white to color and then back to black and white at the end. Since this was an adaptation of the book that's why they had to put that at the beginning of the movie. Sorry for the ramble there. I'm glad you focused on the story and on Dorothy for this. This was a very well thought out video you did here and I believe you were spot on. This is in my opinion why the movie is still the most inspirational movie of all time. Not just the technical and artic parts but, the message that brings to those who watch the movie.

What a thought-provoking analysis! BTW, I think it's clear that the skull-like hologram of the Wizard was inspired by the skull that's mounted above Prof. Marvel's doorway (10:03).

Bottom line is that no matter what Dorothy learned or not it is still her choice entirely. Few things she changes in her life is that she grows up, marries (maybe one of the farm helpers, I vote for Hunk) has children whom she’ll visit in collage or wherever they choose to live but her forever home is Kansas on her family farm.

Most of the cast got hurt during the filming. The snow is actually Asbestosis. Margaret Hamilton got burned. The original tin man had severe reactions to the make up and the part was recast. There was only a few lion costumes made because it was made from real lions. And then there is the myth of someone who unalived themselves that can be seen in the movie.

i heard about wizard of oz it's about dorothy being in oz fighting against a wicked witch and goes back home to her guardians.

Insightful! Yet this omits the complexity of all the books by Baum in the Wizard of Oz series.

137th...WOW ...a Wild Deep Dive into the Mind / Feelings of Dorothy Gale...I actually enjoyed this..and your English Accent makes it even better...... Have you seen the Prequel Oz the Great and Powerful"?

I really enjoy your analysis of the shows You should do some videos about my two favorite TV series Suits and Billions Suits - the main character Harvey Specter And BILLIONS - Bobby Axlerod and Windy Rhoads These are two of my favorite series of all times and they've been really insightful for me I'm really curious of what you think Thanks

5:09 - 5:24 You're probably not gonna see this, Thought Tree, but I feel this 100%! I used to always chase something else and want to be someone else because I wasn't satisfied with myself and I sometimes do so now, but it no longer looms over my head. I have been through a lot of bad things in my life so when my peers where learning to thrive, I was trying to survive so, I look at their successful lives and sometimes want to cry (That rhymed lol). I'm starting to learn that life isn't a race and I'm not a failure because I didn't reach my goals the same time as they did. I also learned that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, it's still hard to remember this when I see someone I grew up with doing what I dreamed of doing because that's what society puts value in. 😅

It is considered as America's original fairy tale.

You should totally do a video on the second one

Who calls him 'the straw man'... It's just 'the scarecrow'

Could be an allegory or metaphor for the political, economic, and social events of America in the 1890s. Dorothy-naïve, young and simple-represents the American people. The Yellow Brick Road represents the gold standard, Wicked Witch of the East and West represents the banks, The Scarecrow stands for the Midwestern farmers and the troubles facing them in late 19th century America, The Tin Man represents mistreated factory workers who did not have the heart to support the farmers, The Cowardly Lion actually represents Democratic presidential candidate who are too cowardly to stand up to the banks, and the Wizard (the President) who uses publicity devices and tricks to fool the people into believing he is benevolent, wise, and powerful.

Really interesting interpretation. I haven't seen the movie in a long while but I read the book for the first time fairly recently and let me tell you - it's quite different. Brutally violent for a book aimed at children (well I guess it was okay for the children of 1900), especially the Tin Man's backstory - WOOF. I don't think you'll get many answers for your questions from the sequels, for the simple fact that in the book, it WASN'T all the a dream. I'm pretty sure this movie popularized the "it was all a dream" trope but the idea was probably borrowed from Alice In Wonderland rather than the source material.

I'd be really interested in your take on The Wiz, a different take on this story.

*Three Pillars: Heart. Brain. Emotion.*

Nice

How do you think the impossible task given to Dorothy of slaying the Witch by Professor Marvel fits into the overall narrative of her journey? Also, what do you think about the possibility of Dorothy dreaming the journey? Do you think by the power of the mind she self-therapied into acceptance? Interesting video, btw.

Toto is just so beautiful and cute and precious xxxxxx
