Notes from the movie • Old-school black-and-white in the beginning of the film with upbeat, then dreamy music. • Foreshadowing with scrolling, stormy thunderstorm clouds during opening credits. • Having seen most of the film numerous times before but never the ending(as I recall), it was easy to tell that Hunk must be the Scarecrow, Uncle Henry is the Lion, and Elmyra Gulch is the wicked witch of the east. Aunt Em must be the good witch of the North. • Dorothy seems rejected by her family in the beginning of the film, like they don’t have time or don’t want to talk to her.
