The MGM movie of The Wizard of Oz has been a classic movie for ages.  But what about the book?  Originally written by L. Frank Boum it is a pure American fairytale of lands you could only fly to in a house.  But a movie can never be exactly like a book (e.g. Alice in wonderland.)  So considering the all the factors of imagination and such the movie is one way that is not terrible to adapt the book.  But in the movie one of the biggest differences is that the shoes of the witch of the east are red while the shoes in the book are silver that is ok I think because the emphasis of color is important to a movie.  One of the things that I don’t like is that in the movie the whole Land of Oz is a dream in the books there actually is a cyclone.  In the book Dorothy goes to Oz!   Also in the poppy field the field mice help them not in the movie.   Other wise the movie is good, for a movie.
