The Art of Storytelling

Salman Rushdie disects the Wizard of Oz into pieces of complexity. Before, I had not thought about the differences in gemoetric shapes in Kansas as opposed to Oz. The scary parts of the movie deal with asymmetrical, jagged, and unpredictable lines. Glinda the good witch has a beautiful face, whereas the wicked witch pretty much has a messed up face with a crooked nose. Like Rushdie, I have loved the film ever since I can remember. Maybe it's the whimsicalness and vibant colors of it all that has captivated such a large audience and withheld the test of time. Maybe it's the moral of the story with obtaining courage, brains, and a heart that people grow fond of. Maybe it's those epic lines that we remember so clearly: "Follow the yellow brick road" and "If I only had a brain" and "Auntie Em, Auntie Em!"

I loved the movie Little Miss Sunshine. I too, when I hear the words "Little Miss Sunshine", immediately think of the family out on the road in their disfunctional van. The story line is great. To me, it says no matter how messed up you or you family members are, you can always help each other, and support each other.

I've never seen Star Wars because I've never had an interest to do so, but after reading this I just might watch the Star Wars movies. The critics bring up some interesting points by saying the making of this movie was the start of a new era of film making.
