First color movie
The first movie ever to be done in Technicolor. This movie was a very important one during the great depression because it lifted peoples spirits and kind of gave them hope. The story of a young girl who ends up (in her mind if you believe) whisked away bystand up to her fears and face off against her foe. a twister to a wonderful make believe where her closet friends are represented by a scarecrow,tinman and lion all which need her to get stronger and she needs them to get her back home. We are introduced to one of movie histories greatest villains in the Wicked Witch of the West early in the movie and see our heroine stand up for herself against her foe. Some people say Dorothy represented the USA and The Witch was Hitler and that the meaning of this movie could be we could stand up to our greatest foes and defeat them if we just had the right tools.

The Most Magical Season to Date
I've said multiple times that "The Magicians" by Lev Grossman are the grown up allegory for the current millennial existential drama we see played out around us every day. So many of us grew up with these fantastical stories that shaped our lives and we wanted so much to be "Magical". Season 3 finally grapples with these ideas that the previous 2 seasons only hinted at. We see the despair and coping with reality that the characters have put off for so long.

I felt that the books were good by themselves, but made better by the television show. The show was only ok on its own, but season 3 starts to make headway on being its own thing. Season 3 showed that they can survive without the books and even be great on their own.
