Episode 153 - Political Symbolism in THE WIZARD OF OZ
Episode 153 of MARS MESSINA PRESENTS finds us frolicking with Dorothy Gale & her friends towards the Land of Oz. We will explore this most popular and influential of stories, originally published as a book by L. Frank Baum in 1900 and ultimately made into a movie in 1939. We will take a look at all the characters, places and things that make Oz...Oz, or an Illusion. We will also notice striking similarities, through the symbolism, that the political tenor of turn of the (20th) century is like our sociopolitical weather of 2024. Let's just say, it ain't good, this cyclone in our back yard. What can we learn from this wonderful allegory? If we can learn anything, will we ever learn?
