Oz's magician: suspense politician profascista

70 were fulfilled not long ago añazos of the premiere of Oz's magician. To remember so multicolored efeméride the lofty faraonato of Madrid installed a tent in the square of the buckets where the movie of free form one could see the past Christmases (of course, with a powerful heating well to point), occasion made use by a servant to enjoy again the magic of Oz's country, thing that was already doing some decade that did not happen. Although the argument was thinking about remembering enough good I could not have avoided to remain amazed before the development of the same one and the readings that can extract him when one has the rotten soul, as it is the case.

Ojito with the dog, which has very much danger

Let's remember that the history takes as a protagonist Dorothy (you are going to allow to me to use the original name and to avoid to use frightfully “Dorita“ who was used in the dubbing to Spanish and who only helps to make even more over-sweet a movie that already of for itself is like eating very crumbly shortcakes wetted in honey and muffled up in brown sugar). Dorothy is an orphan girl raised by his uncles who lives in a farm of Kansas. Let's say that it is a little characterless and that he lacks ten minutes of cooking. We do not know well to what he devotes himself, but we know that it adores his dog Totó, which is the typical tiny dog that you barks when you cross it in the portal and whom you cannot avoid to imagine it entering lunar orbit of a kick. In fact, the movie begins shortly after it has bitten to his poor person neighbor, the city dweller Gulch, who obviously comes to house of Dorothy's uncles and confiscates the above-mentioned cánido so that they put the microchip and vaccinate of the anger, nevertheless, the dog escapes, Dorothy finds it and together they abscond from house. Unfortunately, his plans see truncated by a force tornado 5 that forces them to return to the hearth, but too much late to enter the bunker: in the end Dorothy and Totó finish “flying away” literally speaking, together with the whole house and landing in a magic country that we will call URROZ, “the union of Oz's republics”. We know that the URROZ is magic because we see it in tecnicolor, there the director was skillful, of another form the public would have got lost.

On having gone out of the house, we discover that Dorothy, involuntarily, has just committed an assassination: the flying housing has squashed the “bad Witch of the East”, which was governing in the “Union of Socialistic Republics of Pequeñilandia” (URSP). One notice the unjust epithet that the deceased receives gobernant to, since her without having already gone so far as to know at least it us is mediatizando in his against: and who? Since not at all more and neither more nor less than the individual one, of Aryan race for more signs, which makes be called “a good Fairy of the North”, which one appears to Dorothy in a floating bubble. We have already said that Dorothy is not many lights that it has, therefore he accepts without criticism by the message that the Fairy of the North transmits: the inhabitants of the URSP he was living submitted to the cruel communist yoke of the "bad" Witch of the East and they have been liberated by Dorothy's good one. From now on the pequeñines (a people naturally proletarian, with strong group conscience, without development of the individuality and incapability of to be governed themselves) will be "free", or what is the same: the Fairy of the North has managed to extend his influence area to the oriental territories of the URROZ.

Logically, this imbalance in the established powers order does that it comes there is big enough the “bad Witch of the West”, which is not of Aryan race not much less, but it is ugly and green. Dorothy, mediatizada for the Fairy of the North, interprets this personage as evil and his rejection is clear. Nevertheless this unjust reaction is not compared at all with the scene that, astonished, we are on the point of attending. When it still has not been restored of the impact of the news about the tragic loss of his relative (we are not anybody), apologetic and affected the Witch of the West discovers with amazement that the red shoes of his sister (memory of family, of his legitimate property like heiress of the dead witch and holders, as we will see, of spectacular magic powers) are nicked literally in front of his nostril and placed in Dorothy's feet. All this for work and grace of the Fairy of the North who does not hesitate a moment to snatch what is not his and to give it to the one who can dabble at his{your} pleasure (to what does not it begin liking you?).

The heredity of the discord

The anger of the witch is more than understandable. If it was already not of for itself green, we do not doubt that this dirty play would have obtained the same bronzy tone in his epidermis (bronzy rusty, which Charioteer of Delphi, is understood). The witch swears revenge and moves back, and Dorothy begins worrying because that obviously is not Kansas and they owe already to be waiting for it to have dinner. Here it is when there takes place one of the most macabre strategies of the history of the Seventh Art, take note, dear readers, that Dorothy already has in his feet the “Guatemalans of rubies” in this moment of the plot and as we know it might have returned instantaneously with his uncles without having caused any more problems in the URROZ. Nevertheless: what does the Fairy of the North advise him? Since that continues the roadway of yellow tiles that there leads to the City Emerald, where there lives Oz's magician, which is wise and it will help him.

The beauty is a good fairy, the ugly one is a bad witch. Children, you have to always allow you to go for the appearances.

Knowing, how the educated and formed person knows, which is going to be occurring of the events and who is in fact this fraud that magician makes call remains clear and crystalline that the trip iniciático of Dorothy for the footpath of yellow tiles and everything what is going to happen in him is in fact a stratagem darkly drafted by the "good" Fairy of the North. A stratagem, for more signs, already prepared and schemed from the first moment of the history. Do not say to me that the spiky hair does not put itself you.

The proletarians of the URSP say goodbye of Dorothy with an instructive song where they insist him in the way to be covered: that of yellow tiles. Let's reflect on a moment on this roadway. We know that the way is born in the capital of Pequeñilandia-URSP, since we see clearly how it arises from a spiral in the square of the people, and know also that the way finishes in the City Emerald. This highway must not be an any way, but it is joining the neuralgic centers of power of the URROZ. The first one of them has already fallen down under the mastery of the Fairy of the North, and other will do it possibly. There is no doubt that the one who controls both cities has access to the strategic points of the area, and this is what the Fairy wants. Here there is a brief one "but", although I suspect that no reader remembers it and am not going to mention it to give opportunity to a major discussion in the comments and to avoid to get longer too much.

The way of yellow tiles connects two neuralgic centers of power in the URROZ: Pequeñilandia and the City Emerald

The central point of the plot, as you will remember, it includes the meeting with three personages: the Scarecrow, the Man of tinplate and the León. Each of them shows a deficit in some virtue that from Platón times is already mentioned like necessary in every good leader: deficit of intelligence (the Scarecrow), deficit of heart (the Man of tinplate) and deficit of value (the León). The meetings with every personage are quite pathetic and Dorothy's good one, instead of avoiding the undesirable companies, it makes them participants of his spiritual search staying of manifesto that really Dorothy lacks a boiling. We are going to see, if Dorothy's legitimacy consulting Oz's magician can already be raised doubts: what nostril does it paint in this trip these three individuals? If I was Oz's magician it might not have contained my anger: "But what have you believed that is this? the English Cut?” angry one would have answered them everything, but well, this is another thing.

Since he was saying: this trip iniciático is integrated a few deficit personages: absolute lack of rational soul (lógos), personified by the Scarecrow; the pathologically weak state of the irascible soul (thymós) represented so much by the Man of Tinplate as by the León; and finally an excessive development of the soul concupiscible (epithymía) personified by Dorothy who, for more inri, is the one that leads the expedition to his target. We conclude therefore that this expedition personifies what would be the antithesis of the good leader from the platonic point of view. Pull, there I leave that.

Small three paws p'a a bank

It is not known very well how, the walkers reach the City Emerald, the second center of power of the URROZ. When they request hearing with Oz's magician literally the door closes them in the nostril. Nevertheless in this moment the witch of the West turns to show and he asks the city to deliver Dorothy. In this moment and for fear of a war opened with the grounds of the West, the magician, interested he, yes that he accepts parlamentar with the covey. In this first meeting it is still not discovered that the magician is in fact a fraud. With vulgar circus tricks he promises to grant to Dorothy and his friends his desires … in exchange for the broom of the Witch of the West. At this point of the movie we us smell already that the magician wants to finish in fact the territorial disputes of both regions (we imagine that adjacent) with the dirty strategy of snatching from the witch his power.

The magician will be a fraud, but of idiot it does not have hair. It is possible that four personajillos that they call to his door are a few idiots and not precisely the best team that it is possible to wish to assault the castle of the witch and to give a coup d'état but: You fijásteis in the inhabitants of the City Emerald? They are still worse that those of Pequeñilandia! They would be unable to kill to a fly, they would be scared with a rattle and let's remember that the followers of the witch are winged monkeys that would overwhelm anyone. The magician was rapid thinking: obviously it neither can nor wants to grant the desires for that they ask him, but this is the occasion that goes waiting years and her is not going to allow to escape and that's why it uses Dorothy and cía so that they try to steal the broom of the witch. Evil what!

The following episode is basically shameful. The witch is with difference the most capable person that we have seen till now of governing a fief of the URROZ. Although it kidnaps Dorothy to recover the ruby shoes (let's remember: of his legitimate property) he does not want to kill it because yes, but because it is a necessary condition so that it is possible to withdraw the magic footwear from him. When the Scarecrow, the Man of tinplate and the León assault the castle a row takes place in the one that reveals that NONE of them has resisted the initial deficit: they keep on being an idiot, a cuatrolatas and a coward. If the situation ends up by being solved happily for them it is only because of coincidence him a water bucket falls down to the witch and this one dies. Brief interjection: yours is already a nasty luck if she has you to be a green witch and you die with a thing as stupid as a puñetero water bucket, waste time what coincidence. Almost I cry when I see dying the witch of this so unworthy form: there is no right! Without deserving it by no means, Dorothy takes the broom of the witch and they all return to the City Emerald where the magician cannot believe it well that has gone out for him quite.

Nevertheless, not everything was going to be a good luck and Totó discovers the cake on having moved the curtain where he hides: in fact the magician is a fraud. This complicates everything, because a powerful magician can be in charge to do simply puñetas the personajillos that have solved the ballot paper, but as soon as the cake was discovered it is a time question that the inhabitants of the City inform Emerald and end up by rebelling. The rapid and cowardly reaction is that of fleeing: the ear eats them to the Scarecrow, to the Man of tinplate and to the León so that it are thought that they have overcome his phobias (we have just seen that it is a lie in the episode of the castle), and gives them a few objects or lucky charms so that they entrust themselves. It is a hard decision to leave the government of the city to these three unpresentable ones, but he has not left any more remedy. Finally he decides to leave in balloon with Dorothy. Theoretically it is going to take it to Kansas, but secretly he tries to push it when they have reached enough height to get rid of the last one of his problems (after all she is the last person in charge of the end of his reign in the city).

I said to you that the dog had very much danger, look at him, on the verge of tying it up again

In the last moment, again it is Totó the one that alters the plans: the male prostitute dog of the balls that has not stopped being mischievous since it began the movie jumps of the balloon just before detaching and Dorothy escapes of his destination. She remains very sad because she cannot return to Kansas, but which deus ex-crane appears the good Fairy of the North and informs him: oh solitude fields, oh faded hills! of that there is enough that it strikes the ruby shoes three times so that it returns with his uncles: the same puñeteros shoes that it was wearing from almost the beginning of the movie. What would any person have done with blood in the veins? Since logically to put the ruby shoes to the Fairy where the back loses his name and turns mainly into the eyelet, but: no! Dorothy him pays attention without rechistar and really it is transported magically to Kansas where, redamn it, everything has been seemingly a sleep.

Seemingly, I say, this is a happy end for Dorothy, but it it is moreover for the Fairy of the North. Let's summarize his situation to the beginning and at the end of the movie.

In the beginning, the Fairy of the North was not controlling any of the centers of power of the URROZ, had two mortal enemies (a to the east and other one on the west), with each objects of magic power (shoes and broom) and basically, although it could fly in magic bubbles it was a doñanadie.

At the end of the movie the balance of power has changed radically: so much the witch of this one as that of the west they have been eliminated. In Pequeñilandia-URSP there is a gap of power that it will not find it hard to him to fill, position that the pequeñímanos are used to obeying and are not a rival for a Fairy. As for the City Emerald, another center of power, is governed by three personages who, as we have seen, are the inept some and in whom also it has a proven influence capacity. The two only rivals who stay in the whole URROZ (the magician and Dorothy) have been neutralized permanently, and two magic objects are in his power (we do not know that the shoes are moved to Kansas with Dorothy and surely that will not find it hard to him a lot of work to take the broom from him to the triumvirate).

Conclusion: for whom the end of the movie is really happy it is for the Fairy, an Aryan tirana without conscience that it has used Dorothy to submit the whole Oz's country under his domain and the one to that does not give his them not thank you.

Bearing in mind that the work dates back to when Hitler went away to veranear to Poland (1939), to the exaltation that is done from the tyranny and from the continuous allusion to the inferiority of the communist systems, I believe that it is clear that this movie is in fact a work of fascist propaganda that managed to slip in secretly in Hollywood with the classic intention of “I hope he tipples”.

There that stays.
