Document Summary
The wonderful wizard of oz by l. frank baum. The wonderful wizard of oz (book) vs. the wizard of oz (movie) Movie did not become as popular as it is now until television came out. Silver slippers in book, red ruby slippers in movie to show off colour on tv. Movie stops once they get to oz. Use of colour in the film- starts off in black and white, switches to colour (blue in munchkin area, yellow other places, etc. ) Movie has her wake up and it was a dream, whereas in book it was real. Age- in book much younger than in movie. Movie cuts out other characters so she goes home. Moral of movie- no place like home is not emphasized in book. Movie spends more time developing relationship between oz and kansas. Still has violence and moral universe where wicked are punished.
