OZ CONSPIRACY REVEALED?!

I recently saw “The Wizard of Oz” for the umpteenth time, and it finally dawned on me why I’ve always had an uneasy feeling about the death of the Wicked Witch of the East.

Consider this: Seconds before the house falls on her, she was in charge and the Munchkins were allegedly in slavery.

The place looks pretty darn good for a country under tyranny.
The Muchkins look well fed and healthy.
Glinda arrives rather quickly.
Out of nowhere there is a well choreographed parade for Dorothy.
The coroner had the Death Certificate right there.

Could it be that the Wicked Witch of the East wasn’t all that bad?

She sure looks like she kept the place up, so maybe she was just obnoxious, whose thankless task it was to kick lazy Muchkin butts in line.

Did the Munchkins somehow manipulate things to have her conveniently bumped off?

It could happen!

My only question is: where are the Munchkins now that we need them?

Have your read "Wicked", or seen the play? It is a great musical, and a twist on the story you wouldn't believe. The musical is fabulous. GREAT music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz.

Cheers, Joe.

Sorry...not with you on this one. The house was carried in by a tornado. I can't see how the munchkinlanders could manpulate the weather.

If they could they'd make a killing by bringing more sunshine to the NW; reducing the numbers of those suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder.

They'd be far more popular than our present forecasters who aren't capable of predicting the weather any further than 3 hours out.

I don't think you are supposed to spend your time thinking about the "real" meaning behind the movie. I think you're supposed to spend your timing wishing you could wear those ruby slippers. And have magic. And a horse that changes colors. And flying monkeys. There can't be hidden meaning in this movie.

Cognitive Dissonance!!?!?
Hm, so it's really the Munchkins. But they would have to have leadership. The Wiz wouldn't want to do it, because they had things worked out between them.
It must have been Dorothy all along.
Wow...Such a sinister and subtle plot.Who knew she was such a Machiavellian genius?
So then, Dorothy stands in for Dubya, and the wicked Witch for Hussein, and we take it from there. I have to stop now, I can do this for hours.

But what about the flying monkey's HUH - HUH - what about them... and that Auntie 'EM bitch - how does she fit in - and the whole playing the Dark Side of the Moon album (YES - it must be an album) in conjunction with the movie huh... and that Dorothy chick - I don't see any trollies in this flick, so why is she singing about a damn bell going ding ding ding... And I won't EVEN go into that lion that HAS to be a big 'ol closet case...

I've said it for years: Had Dorothy given Miss Gulch a little finger fuck she'd never of gotten into trouble. Miss Gulch was a dyke and had her eyes on Dorothy; no doubt trolloping along every day in front of the Gulch residence. No bones about it. When her advances were rejected she went after the one thing Dorothy loved; her dog. Dykes are sooo mean-spirited like that.
