Oz the Great and Powerful



Oz the Great and Powerful wasn’t exactly what I was expecting it to be. I really expected it to relate more to the Wizard of Oz film, but it didn’t. Throughout the film we saw that the main characters all had an internal conflict going on in their lives that they needed to change. Oscar figured this out and ended up helping the people. He gave up his need for power to be helpful. The whole film showed the conflict between good and evil. We saw the witches constantly going back and forth causing problems between each other and with other people. I also thought it was interesting that Oscar gave up his life (and faked his own death) so that he would become the Wizard of Oz and protect and help all the people. Although Oscar didn’t really die, he still gave up his life as he knew it. This is like the love that Jesus had. Jesus gave up his life as a sacrifice for all of the people he loved.
