The Compiled Sync List of The Wizard of Oz
001-Echoes
1) The first indicator that everything is going right is the change from "Speak to Me" to "Breathe" which coincides exactly with the fade-in appearance of the name of producer
Mervyn LeRoy
*Note: In the prologue the word "Time" (one of the songs on the CD) is written with a capital letter even though it isn't at the start of the sentence. Also you will find the word "Heart" capitalized in the middle of a sentence (a sound particular to "The Dark Side of the Moon").
2) "Leave, but don't leave me ..." Auntie Em appears to say "... Leave ..." to Dorothy and then Dorothy turns to leave looking a bit down in the mouth.
3) Right after the words "... Look around ..." Dorothy looks around.
4) "... Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry ..." Two men above (Cowardly Lion and Tin Woodsman) are smiling and the man below (Scarecrow) is crying. This one is sort of not on time but worth the mention.
5) "... All you touch ..." Dorothy touches the man (Cowardly Lion) holding a bucket on his arm.
*Note: "All you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be" Dorothy's life will only really be all she touches and all she sees in her Kansas home because Oz exists only in her pretty little head.
6) "... When at last the work is done ..." the man (Scarecrow) hits his finger with the hammer (to the beat of the drum no less) and is done with his work.
7) Right after "... Dig that hole ..." the farm hand (Scarecrow) points to the ground as if telling Dorothy to dig a hole.
8) "... Balanced on the biggest wave ..." Dorothy is balancing herself on the fence.
9) "... Race towards an early grave." is said at the moment just before Dorothy falls off the fence rail. ["... Down in the pig-pen sayin' 'keep on diggin' ..." Lyrics from "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" by Roger Waters on the "Animals" CD]
*Note: "... Race towards an early grave ..." Perhaps a reference to Judy Garland's untimely death?
*Note: Judy Garland died in 1969, the same year we put a man on the moon ... "I'll see you on the Dark Side of the Moon."
10) Song shifts from "Breathe" to "On the Run" at the same time (actually just slightly before) Dorothy falls off the fence.
One of the major motifs of the story is “get busy living, or get busy dying.” This phrase sticks out the most in the movie. In the novella it is said once by Red just before he leaves to go to McNary, Texas, where Andy Dufresne crossed the border into Mexico after he escaped. Red was contemplating not going. He figured that so much of his life was already gone and wondered if it was even worth the trouble. But he told himself, “get busy living, or get busy dying” (King 105).
4. “My hunting hat really gave me quite a lot of protection…but I got soaked anyway…I didn’t care though. I felt so damn happy all of a sudden.” (Salinger, 275)
1) "that was a long time ago, but it's wrong what they say about the past, i've learned, about how you can bury it. because the past claws its way out."

Scene: This scene in the film comes just after the house has been picked up in the twister. Dorothy's house has been lifted up into the sky and suddenly dropped back down to earth in the middle of the Land of Oz. In the scene itself, Dorothy leaves her home to see that she is "Not in Kansas anymore," and finds the new and amazing world of the munchkin city in front of her. She also meets Gwendela the good witch as her journey in Oz begins.
3. “He always said that whenever he saw a dead man’s mouth he saw the folly of not eating what one had in one’s lifetime.”
...this is after she figures out whom he is. The Misfit has all of the Grandmother’s family escorted into the woods and killed. And as the story ends he takes the Grandmothers life when she touches him on the shoulder.
While Addie lies dying on her corn-shuck mattress, Darl convinces Jewel to take a trip with him to pick up a load of lumber. Darl knows that Jewel is Addie's favorite child. The trip for lumber is a contrivance- Darl's way of keeping Jewel from his mother's bedside when she dies. A wheel breaks on the wagon, and before Darl and Jewel can replace it, bring the wagon home, and load Addie's body onto it for the trip to Jefferson, three days have passed. By this time, heavy rains have flooded the Yoknapatawpha River and washed out all the bridges that cross it. The river is vicious, and the Bundrens' mules drown. The wagon tips over, and. Jewel, on horseback, manages to keep the wagon and its load from drifting downstream, saving his mother’s decomposing body. When the family finally makes it through the ordeal, they spend the night at the Gillespies' farm. Darl sets fire to the barn where Addie's body is stored in an effort to spare his mother. However, Jewel once again saves her coffin with a heroic act.
1. “Then, touching the brim of his cap, he headed for home and the day’s work, unaware that it would be his last.” (page 15, paragraph 1)
"My name is Dorothy," said the girl, "and I am going to the Emerald City, to ask the Oz to send me back to Kansas."
Dorothy Gale, the protagonist of the story is a young, optimistic girl who lives on a farm in Kansas, which is a place in Midwest America that lacks colour and mainly consists of flat country land and has minimal trees. The films overall theme is illustrated by Dorothy’s famous line that ultimately
Before they reach the restaurant, the grandmother points out six fenced gravestones in a field.... ... middle of paper ... ... This plea-bargaining draws to a climax when the Grandmother says “Why, you’re one of my babies.
2. In the movie, Cheswick doesn't drown, goes on the fishing trip, and is sentenced to the Disturbed Ward.
Maguire also uses diction in this passage. He used words like “groan” and “beware” to show a threatening tone towards Elphaba and Glinda. Maguire also refers to the Wizard as “it” in the beginning of the passage when he is referring to the Wizard’s fiery skull. When syntax was involved, Maguire used short, dialeque sentence. He did not have his character say too much in one line. Maguire did not have the Wizard of Oz talk much. Even in the quote that the Wizard of Oz recited, Maguire made the lines
“There’s no place like home” could be considered the main message of the move. Dorothy has just spent all this time in Oz trying to reach the Wizard only to have the Wizard get taken away in the hot air balloon that was meant to take her home. Glinda the Good Witch of the North comes to the rescue and tells Dorothy to click her heels together three times and she will be home but before that, Glinda asks what she learned during her journey in Oz and Dorothy says that home is the most important thing, it 's where all the love is and where she can always turn to in times of trouble. In Robert Ebert’s review of the movie he specifically states why this message is so important; “For kids of a certain age, home is everything, the center of the world” (Ebert 6). Another message highlighted in the movie is the idea and importance of friendship. As stated, during her journey in Oz, Dorothy meets three friends: The Scarecrow, The Tin Man and The Cowardly Lion (whom coincidentally resemble her three friends back in Kansas: Hunk, Hickory and Zeke) these three men overall save Dorothy from the Wicked Witch, help her get to the Emerald City and in the end, home. Ebert also agrees with this point and does it by tying in the main message of “home.” “...touching on the key lesson of childhood, which is that someday the child will not be a child, that home will no longer exist, that adults will be no help because now the child is
