One of the few lines in the movie that come close to the dialogue in the book: "I think you are a very bad man," said Dorothy. "Oh, no, my dear; I'm really a very good man, but I'm a very bad Wizard, I must admit."
0:36 is a minor but brilliant moment in the film. If you watch quick enough, the Cowardly Lion finally stands up to the 'Wizard' and that's without Scarecrow or Tin Man intervening unlike when they forced him to lead the way into the castle to save Dorothy. In other words Lion finally found the backbone to stand up for himself and his friends. Brilliant directing.
I'm not gonna lie, "Wizard of Oz" is a great classic I really love Toto! Not only he's so cute, he's really smart! The way he pulled the curtain himself is so adorable!
@@paulmacartney8266 In the books, he was able to talk the first moment he set paw in Oz, and he knew it. But he couldn't think of anything to say, and he was happy with the way he and Dorothy communicated, so he kept it up. Several books later, Ozma told Dorothy that Toto could speak, and Dorothy called him in and basically had to scold him into admitting it. After that, he spoke a little more readily, but still preferred to growl and bark.
@@MaskedMan66 I see. He couldn't think of anything to say not that dorothy wouldn't understand. He was just happy with the way they always communicated. But when dorothy eventually finds out he can talk that's y he scolded him. Shes like "Toto, howcome u never talked to me before?" Lol 😆
I gotta love how despite Dorothy calling herself "the small and meek," she's the only one who's ever actually stood up to Oz (or who we thought was Oz) In fact, this whole movie is just her severely underestimating herself
@@MaskedMan66 i know the movie really makes a point of "theres no place like home," but theres definitely a lesson of confidence in there. that you're a lot stronger and braver than you give yourself credit for
It’s not his fault he’s a humbug. The real wizard was killed by the wicked witch of the east. Glinda and Tattypoo appointed Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs or OZPINHEAD with his knowledge for entertainment and tricks to be the wizard for the sake of Oz.
“Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain” will always be my favorite movie quote… rings true to how the world is being run nowadays it’s ironic 😂
Toto is the best boy for exposing the wizard. He stood up to lion when he was a bully too. He has the most brains, courage and heart of all. Just like Dorothy
that "man behind the curtain" bit is such comedic gold! his delivery of the line is so funny! Like, you can tell he is nervous but still trying to sound intimidating! hahaha its so perfect!
I like the way the Cowardly Lion says "Yeah!" at 0:35. In the book, he roars in anger instead, but it still gives the message that he is showing courage in that moment. That is until we see his legs shake at 0:38.
The wizard is really the villain of the whole movie. He arrived in Oz and managed to hoodwink an entire naive community. He used his earthly knowledge of technology to perhaps spare himself from the evil of the witches. He had the whole Emerald city worship him as if he was some kind of deity. Despite never having been seen by most inhabitants. He asked a 12-year-old girl to risk her life to collect a broomstick from a psychopathic witch of unfathomable evil. He made the lion so scared he jumped through a window, which could have killed him. He was selfish, cowardly and a charlatan. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Very important line on how people and organizations can manipulate you. Fine when they have others behind them, but clueless when confronted on their own with logical questions. Maybe I am over analyzing a family movie, but this man was a villain. I think Dorothy had it right "you're a very bad man". Great respect for all the actors who did an amazing performance in this classic movie.
I agree with you to some extent but eventually he did at least make some effort to get Dorothy home. To me this "bad guy" was able to turn himself around and do the right thing. The witch on the other hand always stayed bad right up until she was melted.
@@TheKnowledgeMan101 _Wicked_ is garbage. However, the very first stage version of "The Wizard of Oz" also portrayed the Wizard as a villain who had exiled the true King of Oz, Pastoria, to Kansas. When Dorothy and her pet cow Imogene were blown to Oz by the cyclone, Pastoria and his new fiancee Trixie Tryfle (a waitress from Topeka) were also caught up in the storm.
@@MaskedMan66 I personally enjoyed Wicked (the novel.) Is the musical the bad one? Or is it the novel? Or both? And if so, why? I’d like to see your reasons.
@@SoftKernel Wicked both the musical and to a lesser extent the novel basically a deconstruction of the Frank Oz novel by applying realism to a fantastical setting and drawing extrapolations from it. This can be done to all fairy tales which robs them of their universal power by grounding them completely in the time of their deconstruction, Elphaba is a completely modern character which means that when our moment of what is modern is past she'll be old fashioned and unrelatable while Dorthey is timeless. Ultimately it's a dead end of shallow cynicism which thinks of itself worldliness. In other words the Wizard of Oz film will still resented with audiences in 100 and 1000 years while Wicked will fade and ultimately crumble into nothing.
As a kid it really bothered me that the Wizard didn't explain why he wanted the witch's broomstick in the first place (other than proof that Dorothy & friends conquered her). It made much more sense in the book when he asked for the Wicked Witch's crystal ball-like eye. The Wizard was afraid that that the Wicked Witch was going to use her magic eye & expose him for the big phoney that he is.
That was the only reason he asked for the broomstick in the movie: to prove that they had destroyed her. He didn't ask for anything in the book except her death; he wasn't worried about her eye, since, although it was as powerful as a telescope, she couldn't see through walls. Even though she had managed to chase him off when he tried to invade her land and destroy her many years before, she still feared him and believed he was a real wizard. When she melted, her eye melted with her.
@@jonnaking3054 Quite the reverse; he knew that Dorothy had already killed the Wicked Witch of the East, and that she must therefore be able to do the same to the Wicked Witch of the West. And he turned out to be right!
It’s not his fault he’s a humbug. The real wizard was killed by the wicked witch of the east. Glinda and Tattypoo appointed Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs or OZPINHEAD with his knowledge for entertainment and tricks to be the wizard for the sake of Oz.
@@MaskedMan66 Must've been a different version of the book you're thinking of. Because the crystal ball eye was in the original story print, along with the kalidaws, and the flying monkeys tearing Scarecrow & Tinman to pieces.
The whole story was based on economics. The book it was silver slippers. The silver standard. The yellow brick road. The gold standard. The wicked witch of the east represented Wall St and wicked bankers. Scarecrow represented poor Midwest farmers. Tin man was the rail industry. Cowardly Lion was a politician I can't remember which one. He was known for being a blow hard while doing nothing. Wicked Witch of the West represented the West Coast and all its turmoil.
Wrong, wrong, and ever more wrong. Nothing "represented" anything. It was a straightforward tale to entertain children. Nothing more, nothing less. Baum saved his politics for his newspaper articles.
Still one of the greatest ever made. And the amazing thing is it was a disaster plagued production with three different directors, but ended up being iconic.
Wisdom of the movie is that the wizard has no powers ... He is just a normal person ... In the end he tells them it wasn't me who helped you ... You were the ones who figured it out you had the power all along ...
Incidentally, in the fourth book he returned to Oz. Princess Ozma let him stay in his old suite of rooms behind the throne room, and later on he also got a tower laboratory where he could experiment with magic, because he started learning real magic from Glinda, and eventually became a real Wizard.

ALIVE?!” “That’s right and we have brought the broomstick like the wizard asked.” “You mean she’s really…and you guys actually…before you see the wizard I need to tell everyone your getting a parade for this!” As he closes the window the doors open and the emerald city is cheering.
R.I.P. Frank Morgan (1890-1949) (The Wizard), Bert Lahr (1895-1967) (The Cowardly Lion), Judy Garland (1922-1969) (Dorothy Gale), Jack Haley (1897-1979) (The Tin Man) and Ray Bolger (1904-1987) (The Scarecrow).
FUN FACT: Judy Garland and Frank Morgan were supposed to reunite in the 1950 film version of ANNIE GET YOUR GUN but they both experienced personal dramas. Judy (who was slayed to play "Annie") was fired from the film due to exhaustion and illness which was the whole studio's fault in the first place that got her to collapse and Frank (who was supposed to play "Buffalo Bill") died sudden of a heart attack.
As much as I respect the ultimate message of having the power inside you, this scene is why the story should be called Dorothy In Oz instead of Wizard Of Oz. But I was too young to understand the trope of secondary character title. In middle school by the way, I had an obsession with pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Maybe too many pop culture references
The movie did a great job of planting the seeds in the beginning on the farm with the farmhands characters personalities. Then in Oz scenes with those traits appearing in a visual form; the scarecrow, tin man, and lion. As the film goes on we see each of them do things which reveal that they already have intelligence, bravery, they just don't realize it. In the end the Wizard doesn't give them any of those things, just tokens to remind them that they had those traits all along. Children who saw this growing up are probably better people for that.
Oh but they do, they really do.... Its just that so many of the people these days havent got much of a brain, or any courage, or even a heart to express it.....
So many parallels. "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain" is gaslighting, telling one not to believe what's in front of them. Nobody knows this, but L Frank Baum wrote "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" in 1900, as an allegory for the political turbulence in America around the turn of the 20th century.
@@MaskedMan66 i wonder why he didn't do that in the first place. after oz the great and powerful. didn't think he'd need it i guess. i like the prequal despite it's problems.
+klanders988 You mean learn magic from Glinda? I expect he was too afraid to approach a real magic worker. Besides, he had a good gig, so why risk it? He had once tried to drive the WWW out of the Winkie country, and was instead chased out himself, somehow managing to hide the fact that he really had no powers. After that, he pretty much stayed in his chamber, not coming out for years until people forgot what he looked like. OtGaP isn't a prequel to the MGM movie, mainly because it's set at the wrong time; the MGM Oz is set in 1900, the year the book was published, while OtGaP is set in 1905, with Dorothy's birth still decades in the future. Also, let's not forget that in the MGM movie, Dorothy's adventure was all a dream. But I liked the movie too; I was particularly impressed by Joey King as the China Girl.
@@MaskedMan66 good point i suppose. i sort of figured he would go out in disguise if there was anything he needed. i have heard people say otgap is a prequal to the mgm film and some say it's not. i know the book came out in 1900 but kinda figured the movie would take place in the year of it's release. or at least close to. but knowing that otgap was in 1905, thinking the mgm movie was in the 1930's but then return to oz took place in 1899 despite being after dorothy was in oz the first time was confusing to me and just a lot of wtf. it's a mess. i kinda just want to headcanon it somehow so that it makes sense to me but idk. i like to think it wasn't a dream but oh well. yeah the china girl was great. i'd like some closure to her story. figure out what happened after otgap. figure out what happened to her and finley. a sequal to otgap would be nice i guess seeing as it seems to be it's own thing. i saw on imdb that there has been talks of a sequal but it seems to be stuck in development hell seeing as there has been no news since 2016.
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain." I always giggle at that.

The movie did a great job of planting the seeds in the beginning on the farm with the farmhands characters personalities. Then in Oz scenes with those traits appearing in a visual form; the scarecrow, tin man, and lion. As the film goes on we see each of them do things which reveal that they already have intelligence, bravery, they just don't realize it. In the end the Wizard doesn't give them any of those things, just tokens to remind them that they had those traits all along. Children who saw this growing up are probably better people for that.
0:33 You have plenty of time already!
"You've had plenty of time already."
Yeah
This is what’s happening in the world
Probably the best metaphor
?
What every troll is like in real life,once they leave their keyboards
My grandfather liked the 'man behind the curtain' bit when he saw it as a young man!
1:27 everyone to willy's chocolate expirance in Glasgow 😂😂
I like this movie its just to bad people now days don't appreciate movies like this!
Millions of people love vintage movies.
Oh but they do, they really do.... Its just that so many of the people these days havent got much of a brain, or any courage, or even a heart to express it.....
Frank Dalla This is my favorite movie ever and I’m 26.
I’m 31 and this movie made me a fan of Hollywoods Golden Age
*“You *”HUMBUG!“*
*”YEAH!”*
*“Yes, that’s exactly so, I’m a humbug.”*
I did laugh at those lines.
In the book, Dorothy took to calling him, "The Great and Terrible Humbug."
@@MaskedMan66 i remember that, now that was funny!
He used to scare the shididdy out of me when I was 3 years old ,I'm 58 now and he doesn't phase me at all LOL
Probably the best twist in a movie ever
Movie, schmovie; it was a book first, 39 years before this movie.🙂
R.I.P to all of them
1:12 Dorothy comes in to take the wizard’s headset off the wizard’s head
He wasn't wearing one.
Oz Loves You
0:20 Bumblebee said this in Transformers: rise of the beasts.
We flattened the curve can we get back to normal
?
He literally sounds and acts like a central banker. Is he the Fed chairman of the land of Oz lol
"I'm afraid its true, theres no other wizard except me"
And eventually in the books, he did become a real wizard.
The greatest face reveal of all time
You've never seen the 1925 version of _The Phantom of the Opera!_
"You've had plenty of time already!"
"Yeah!"
That line of the Tin Woodman's is about the only one in the movie that's verbatim from the book. :-)
This is the kind of curtain I want as a shower curtain big
Time!
So many parallels. "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain" is gaslighting, telling one not to believe what's in front of them.
Nobody knows this, but L Frank Baum wrote "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" in 1900, as an allegory for the political turbulence in America around the turn of the 20th century.
No, he didn't.
You know after seeing the wicked musical your a very bad man brings up a whole new meaning 😮
Wizard is the non duality of the dualities ...
1:27 The Scarecow was so hurt and betrayed when he said that the wizard
Next year aka in 2018 it will be the 80th year anniversary of this movie
Next year, 2020, will be the 120th anniversary of the original book! :-)
LOOK. It's Jacob Rothschild hiding behind that curtain.
And he's there with Rockefeller
0:12: Liquidated her and she's out of business.
Dorothy and her three friends were Cross now.
Dragon an the wolf. Nice.
?
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain
He admitted what a bad wizard he was.😟
I think he is trying to say that he is no wizard, just a human being.
+MetalPete the metalfan In the books, he came back to Oz and eventually became a real wizard, having learned magic from Glinda.
@@MaskedMan66 i wonder why he didn't do that in the first place. after oz the great and powerful. didn't think he'd need it i guess. i like the prequal despite it's problems.
+klanders988 You mean learn magic from Glinda? I expect he was too afraid to approach a real magic worker. Besides, he had a good gig, so why risk it? He had once tried to drive the WWW out of the Winkie country, and was instead chased out himself, somehow managing to hide the fact that he really had no powers. After that, he pretty much stayed in his chamber, not coming out for years until people forgot what he looked like.
OtGaP isn't a prequel to the MGM movie, mainly because it's set at the wrong time; the MGM Oz is set in 1900, the year the book was published, while OtGaP is set in 1905, with Dorothy's birth still decades in the future. Also, let's not forget that in the MGM movie, Dorothy's adventure was all a dream. But I liked the movie too; I was particularly impressed by Joey King as the China Girl.
@@MaskedMan66 good point i suppose. i sort of figured he would go out in disguise if there was anything he needed. i have heard people say otgap is a prequal to the mgm film and some say it's not. i know the book came out in 1900 but kinda figured the movie would take place in the year of it's release. or at least close to. but knowing that otgap was in 1905, thinking the mgm movie was in the 1930's but then return to oz took place in 1899 despite being after dorothy was in oz the first time was confusing to me and just a lot of wtf. it's a mess. i kinda just want to headcanon it somehow so that it makes sense to me but idk. i like to think it wasn't a dream but oh well. yeah the china girl was great. i'd like some closure to her story. figure out what happened after otgap. figure out what happened to her and finley. a sequal to otgap would be nice i guess seeing as it seems to be it's own thing. i saw on imdb that there has been talks of a sequal but it seems to be stuck in development hell seeing as there has been no news since 2016.
1:07 Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain
1:15 uh I AM THE GREAT AND POWERFUL wizard of oz…
Dorothy is the hero of the story ... Wisdom
Well, of course she is; we knew that from the first scene.
You know, I don't recall the wizard making a promise to anything xD
"The beneficent Oz has every intention of granting your requests."
Expose him,TOTO is the hero he's done 🐶👏. 🦅
“We melted her!” 😀
"Oh, you liquidated her, eh? Very resourceful."
Cover himself in the curtain
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain LOL
You Humbug!!!
This is the best part of the movie for me
A skewering of religion so sharp it’s amazing the movie ever got made. ❤👍🏻
How do you figure?
From 0:50 and on, the scene that has been parodied/referenced in various media.
The whole movie has.
When movies were great and had a hopeful message.
Your comment perfectly sums up the post pandemic corruption of creativity
The video is so nice and clear!
The wizard intended to modify the broomstick into a staff of power with steampunk motifs
He had no power.
As a former jehovahs witness, this is one of the most powerful cinematic scenes ever!
Ex JW's know the feeling of finding out the Governing Body are just old disgruntled frauds, and yes " very bad persons".
Hey, same here! :)
