Oh yes, indeed it is. To think that way back in 1939 this writer had the wisdom to know that, when alone and in trouble and torment, what we need to get ourselves out of both is: Courage, Intelligence, and Compassion.
@KLJF You forget that the Wizard was talking about the measure of a person's heart, not his acting ability or looks or box office returns. People are loved for the way they show love; that's what he's saying.
Interesting trivia: When looking for a coat for Frank Morgan, the wardrobe department was looking for a coat that looked like it had once been elegant but had since "gone to seed." They visited a second-hand store and purchased an entire rack of coats, from which Morgan could choose from. One day, while he was on set in the coat, Morgan idly turned out one of the pockets and discovered a label indicating that the coat had been made for L. Frank Baum. Mary Mayer, a unit publicist for the film, contacted the tailor and Baum's widow, who both verified that the coat had at one time been owned by the author of the original "Wizard of Oz" books. After the filming was completed, the coat was presented to Mrs. Baum. So in a way, L. Frank Baum made a cameo in the movie.
This has never actually been proven. Baum biographer Michael Patrick Hearn says the Baum family denies ever knowing about the coat story, and Margaret Hamilton thought it was made up by the studio.
In the book, the Winged Monkeys tear the Scarecrow to bits and leave his clothes and head up in a tree. After Dorothy melts the Wicked Witch, the Tin Woodman chops the tree down, and as Baum tells it: "Dorothy picked them up and had the Winkies carry them back to the castle, where they were stuffed with nice, clean straw; and behold! here was the Scarecrow, as good as ever, thanking them over and over again for saving him." I wonder if that bit was the inspiration for the lines you quoted. :-)
Quite possibly one of the greatest lines of dialogue regarding the human condition in the history of film..."Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable." No wonder this movie thrives and survives and lasts for decade after decade. It's solid.
I guess I'm not the only one. I specifically came to this clip to hear that line in particular. I was going to comment on it but you said it perfectly.
"As for you, my galvanized friend, you want a heart. You don't know how lucky you are not to have one. Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable."
Unfortunately hearts are breakable. Believe me I’ve had mine broken many times in the past. Yet to this day I never stopped loving the people I hold close to me.
“I don’t think there’s anything in that black bag for me.” Has been the line of my heart for decades when it comes to love. I’m almost 40 and have never had a boyfriend or even been on a date. I wanted so badly to have a husband and children... but there’s nothing in that black bag for me... and it hurts my heart so badly. Love Judy. Love this movie. Well wishes to all.
Remember what a lady once told me when I was her mail carrier many decades ago "There's a lot worse things in life than not being in luv....." And I would suggest you can find many other things in life to luv than another human being, n often that can be a much better choice n as rewarding if not more so! Just a note of wisdom for an aging man.......
Hey, I know I'm about half your age with nowhere near as much experience, but my heart goes out to you. ❤️ I know that one day life will find a way to make things right for you.

@@pacificcoastpiper3949 you should treat yourself to watching the movie. The subtle jokes, and life lessons are beautiful, poetic, memorable, all with an understood 'wink' at the small portion of the audience that is able to Truly Listen to the dialogue beyond the extravagant backdrop. (I feel like a notice a new - to me - 'little something' every time I re-watch it). No movie has ever made feel as enthralled and awestruck as this one. Reminding myself of what it took to create this unattainable level of timeless amazement in 1939, will never dull in my mind. CGI oughta be ashamed when put next to the man-power that went into creating Oz. We felt 'there' for the Entire Movie. CGI effects immediately take my mind back to thinking of how 'fake' it all is. Phoney, unconvincing, cartoonish 'effects' always make me 'snap out of it', & it's no longer thrilling.
@@C_Tizzle "Phoney, unconvincing, cartoonish 'effects' always make me 'snap out of it', & it's no longer thrilling." So what do you make of the obvious puppet of Dorothy wiggling its legs when the Winged Monkeys are meant to be carting her off to the castle?
Margaret Hamilton (The Wicked Witch) said she often got emotional watching this scene as it showed the generosity that Frank Morgan often showed off screen.
She was in awe of him. They had worked together on other projects, and she rather regretted that she never really got to speak with him while they were working on _Wizard_ because they were hardly ever there at the same time.
The Wizard says to the Tin Man: “And remember, my sentimental friend, that a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.” To me, these are some of the absolute most beautiful words that anyone has ever spoken to another. It was the greatest gift that he gave. This movie will always be in my heart; it makes me glad that I have one.
No, he told them that those were all in recognition of the qualities they already possessed. He didn't con them. All of those things were real, though how he got them may be another story.
One rare exception is my own quote: "If having a crush on Jack Haley isn't a problem for anyone, how can it be a problem that Kimi came back before Dil?" I'm talking about the Rugrats reboot, by the way.
I thought it was kind of really heartwarming that Scarecrow putted Cowardly Lion and Tin Man before him "what about the heart that you promised Tin Man and the courage that you promised Cowardly Lion"
@@alexanderc.4654 You're very welcome. I'm so glad that someone pointed this very poinant and still extremely relevent statement. This movie really holds the test of time.
@@MaskedMan66let's put it this way... Oscar Diggs(The Wizard) is indeed a good man. Truer words were never spoken. But he is just not a real wizard. Yes at least until he does return to Oz in one of the later Oz books I think it's Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, and Glinda the Good Witch does give him some magic, he is unfortunately not a wizard until then. He is a muggle, or to use a certain term from over here in the states, a No-Maj.
@@mikegallant811 He does go back to Oz in that book, but it's over the course of the next several books (and mostly "off camera") that he learns real magic, both from Glinda and from Ozma. In time, he becomes very powerful indeed.
It’s ok I’m 41, my younger brother and my wife is 31, I am in a German language discord group with a moderator who is 57 and in that same group I have a friend who is 21 Gen-Z, my own son is 6 and my daytime work boss is between my age and yours. So I don’t know, if you can still feel like you’re young you are young.
Used to love this movie as a kid, watched it EVERY year. It got me thru a horrible childhood, gave me hope and a few moments of happiness once a year. It changed my life and made me grow up to be a better person than I would have without it. A testament to the edifying power of art to heal and make us better people. Too bad true art is dying, in favor of technology. God bless all the actors and others behind the scenes that made this masterpiece possible!
@@judsonkr As the prologue of the movie says, "this story has given faithful service to the Young in Heart," which means children and anyone of any age who approaches it with the wonder of a child. 🙂
@@MaskedMan66well that is what I am saying. The OP said that he "Used to love this movie as a kid...". I have no idea why does not love it anymore. But, a lot of people think they cannot like what they consider "kid's stuff". Is too bad really. My whole family watches this movie on a regular basis and we all love it. Even we adults.
This movie might be chronologically old now, but a true classic never officially ages because we should always think of it as the best memory of everyone involved!
"Back where i come from there are men who do nothing all day but good deeds. They are called philanp- ... eh philp eh yes.... ehhh, good deed doers" Favorite line in entire movie
The Wizard is the embodiment of "Think it, & be it!", with a sprinkle of "fake it 'til ya make it", a dash of "the placebo effect", & a drop of "snake oil". All wrapped up in a life-altering fever dream..for ALL of us. Anyone between 1939 and Right Fkg Now, that isn't mind-blown by this movie, is devoid of feelings of amazement. That sucks. This movie is a masterpiece, to put it lightly.
@@MaskedMan66 when I said 1939, it was referencing how mind-blowing the Movie was, which came out in 1939. It was not specifically or only referencing the story itself. And, yes, I did know that. So, your condescending comment wasn't really necessary. But, people - like you - can find a way to be negative about Anything, even a Wizard of Oz comment 😒
There was a time when i felt like The Scarecrow (no brain), Tinman (no heart), & Cowardly Lion rolled into one. This clip however taught me that that isn't true about who I am in the least. I highly recommend this part to those who question their bravery, kindness, or inteligence
The whole point of the wizard is cynicism. You see something great, you look behind the curtain and are immediately disappointed. Listen to what he's saying: "Graduates have no more brains than anyone else but what they do have is a diploma". "People who run away from danger are wise not cowardly, where I come from we call those people heroes" "You don't know how lucky you are not to have a heart" "A heart isn't judged by how much you love but how much other people love you"
+Aaron Parker "People who run away from danger are wise not cowardly, where I come from we call those people heroes" You're conflating two different premises. Avoiding danger is wise if it's just you that's in danger. But if others are in danger, and this is where heroism comes in, you're to forget about yourself and help them no matter the personal cost. And that is what the Cowardly Lion is all about.
@Cola Octoling Bungle's brains are just one of the mysteries of Oz; another is the Lion being cowardly again the second time he appears in the series. Why did Baum reverse things? I have no idea. :-)
"If I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard. Because if it's never found, I never really lost it to begin with." My FAVE line in the WHOLE movie!!! 😭

Unlike most people, 2 days ago was the first time I ever watched this movie at 21 years old. I just can’t get enough of it. Watching this gives me nostalgia for a time I never witnessed. And by how many children’s movies that take inspiration from this masterpiece, I still think of my childhood when I watch it. This film will forever be in my heart from now on, I just wish I will live to watch it with my children if I ever have any.
I grew up watching this every year through the 70's and 80's, and that time had a magic all its own. But having read about the time the movie came out, I would love to have been there. The Oz books were still being published, the stage extravaganza from the first decade of the 20th century was still fresh in a lot of people's minds, and the actors in the movie were all tops in their field. It was an exciting time, by all accounts. 🙂
Morgan was very well loved by his peers and fans, and was known for being a friendly man, if just a little difficult to work with because he was rather demanding of himself to give the best performance possible in anything he did. Did you know that he teamed with Judy Garland six years after _Wizard_ on a radio show called "Dick Tracy in B Flat," which was a musical comedy take on the famous comic strip detective? It had an all-star cast, including Bing Crosby as Tracy. Frank was Tracy's industrialist friend Vitamin Flintheart and Judy was Vitamin's ladyfriend Snowflake Falls.
@@MaskedMan66 I've heard about that radio show. Jimmy Durante was playing (I believe) The Mole, and there was something of a little comedic kerfuffle over a scene where Durante was supposed to rush in and yell "STICK 'EM UP", but he flubbed the line (accidentally?) and it came out "SHOVE IT UP".
@@Setebos Durante did play the Mole, and as was his wont, he did mangle a line or two, but I don't remember that. I do recall him calling Snowflake "Slowflake." :-)
you can love all you want, but in the end... if you aren't a person that can be loved by others...well, you haven't been the type of person you believed yourself to be to begin with. Love hidden in the heart, but never shown is not true love. It makes perfectly good sense if you think about it. Anyone can claim to be a loving person.
I am always seeking a deeper meaning. I am very focused on how to be a better me, reflecting on what and where I am to a point Ive wondered if quite possibly, I am narcissistic . I don't think I'm all that and a bag of chips but I feel I do lots of contemplating over these such things, heart, brain, courage and where to hang my hat. But, interesting idea you have! Maybe so!
I completely agree. At 23 years old, watching this movie for the first time since I was little, I was completely struck by this quote. Really made me reevaluate my own thoughts and actions.
Always thought it was sweet how the Scarecrow calls out the Wizard for what he falsely promised the others, rather than immediately asking about the brain he wanted.
In my mind, this is the best part of the movie - the conferring of the gifts/ abilities by the Wizard. The dialogue delivered by Frank Morgan is priceless and exquisite. So many subtleties and metaphors as he personifies the embodiment of the con man, snake oil salesman, huckster, and smooth, quick on his feet, wordsmith extraordinaire. BTW, him having to pause and come up with the term do - gooders instead of philanthropists was intended to convey his nimbleness and ability to extricate himself from any situation, much like keeping the balloon available as an escape contingency just in case. So many hidden messages contained in a great,great movie!!!
He doesn't give them anything. He just gives them what society wants them to have to succeed in their fields. Medals, diplomas, and testimonials. Says a lot about our society and our loss of childlike wisdom.
Not true.... he gave them a new perspective, a different way of thinking and belief system. The medals, diplomas, and testimonials were symbolic outward representations of internal qualities. Dude ( Frank Morgan) was a kind of metaphysical psychologist and just what they needed.
He gave them outward symbols of their inner value. That's not to be sneezed at. Of course in the book, he gave them different gifts; the Scarecrow got a head full of pins, needles, and bran, the Tin Woodman had a silk heart stuffed with sawdust put into his chest, and the Lion got a drink of "courage."
I played the Lion many years ago, and when the Wizard was going through that whole litany, I was eyeing him like, "Yeah, right!" And when he said, "I was petrified," I nodded like, "Called it!"
The great Oz was brilliant in a more subtle way than the people of OZ wanted him to be, so he became that image. Upon being discovered human, he, rather quickly, resumed his role of making Dorothy's companions realize they were trying to find something they already had. Brains, courage and empathy seem to be far easier to explain than home. While the land of Oz felt familiar, Dorothy recognized her companions as mere shadows compared to her family back home. She desired to be with them.
I think the best line in the entire film is, "A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others." It's very true, you know.
Always noticed as a kid that while the scarecrow was the smartest, and tin man the most emotional, and the lion was technically the most bravest in the face of fear, its still hits harder as an adult. As in you are already the thing you seek to be, some ancient knowledge in there.
@@bettyottman1718 As the Wizard gives the tin man a heart he says "a heart is not judged by how much you love but how much you are loved by others" my reason for shedding a tear is rather personal...but thank you for asking...

One of the munchkins hanged themselves u can see it but they deleted that seen, the snow was a drug it was very dangerous, toto the dog got stepped on a lot too and they payed the dog more then anyone not a good movie at all
An excellent wizard, but the wizardry was demonstrated by his acute, analytical ability and wisdom to read people and swiftly diagnose problems while offering practical solutions..
Even though Dorothy's friends got their wishes 'granted' the trio actually had what they lacked the whole time. For example Scarecrow came up with a few good ideas such as causing the trees to throw apples for Dorothy, coming up with a plan to save Dorothy and bringing down the chandelier to escape the guards. Tin Man was very emotional and cared about Dorothy's welfare and comforted Dorothy when she cried after the gang were told the wizard would not see them. The lion himself faced his fears by attempting to save Dorothy.
I love the part where the lion said: all right I'm going in there for Dorothy. Wicked witch or no wicked witch, guards or no guards, I'll tear em apart. I may not come out alive but I'm going in there. There's just one thing I want you to do... Talk me out of it. In other words the lion was ready to go in there and mess up some bad guys.
Dorothy: "Weren't you frightened"? Oz: "Frightened? You are talking to a man who has laughed in the face of DEATH! Sneered at DOOM! Chuckled at CATASTRPHE!" Oz: ".. I was petrified."
Then suddenly the wind changed, and the balloon floated down into the heart of this noble city where I was instantly acclaimed Oz the First Wizard Deluxe.
@@jaredruff9823 (unintelligible) My friends! This is positively the finest exhibition ever to be shown-- yes, well, be that as it may. I, your Wizard, _per ardua ad alta,_ am about to embark upon a hazardous and technically unexplainable journey into the outer stratosphere!

The Wizard of Oz is arguably the greatest film of all time because of the songs, famous quotes, the technicolour, characters and the morals it brings. But other films such as the Star Wars, Harry Potter and Marvel franchise will still be legendary for decades to come due to their pop cultural status. And The Lion King is arguably the biggest animated film of all time and will still be watched in decades to come.

Interesting trivia: When looking for a coat for Frank Morgan, the wardrobe department was looking for a coat that looked like
it had once been elegant but had since "gone to seed." They visited a second-hand store and purchased an entire rack of coats, from which Morgan could choose from. One day, while he was on set in the coat, Morgan idly turned out one of the pockets and discovered a label indicating that the coat had been made for L. Frank Baum. Mary Mayer, a unit publicist for the film, contacted the tailor and Baum's widow, who both verified that the coat had at one time been owned by the author of the original "Wizard of Oz" books. After the filming was completed, the coat was presented to Mrs. Baum.
So in a way, L. Frank Baum made a cameo in the movie.
Well, only if his DNA was still hanging about in the coat.
This has never actually been proven. Baum biographer Michael Patrick Hearn says the Baum family denies ever knowing about the coat story, and Margaret Hamilton thought it was made up by the studio.
"How can I ever thank you enough?!"

Unfortunately hearts are breakable. Believe me I’ve had mine broken many times in the past. Yet to this day I never stopped loving the people I hold close to me.
Tin Man getting his heart is my fave part, because I had a heart transplant when I was 5-years-old.
He had it all along; the testimonial was just a recognition of that fact. 😃 In the book, the Wizard put a satin heart in his chest.
Aww that's pretty cute.

“I don’t think there’s anything in that black bag for me.” Has been the line of my heart for decades when it comes to love. I’m almost 40 and have never had a boyfriend or even been on a date. I wanted so badly to have a husband and children... but there’s nothing in that black bag for me... and it hurts my heart so badly. Love Judy. Love this movie. Well wishes to all.
I hope things improve.
Remember what a lady once told me when I was her mail carrier many decades ago "There's a lot worse things in life than not being in luv....." And I would suggest you can find many other things in life to luv than another human being, n often that can be a much better choice n as rewarding if not more so! Just a note of wisdom for an aging man.......
Hey, I know I'm about half your age with nowhere near as much experience, but my heart goes out to you. ❤️ I know that one day life will find a way to make things right for you.
Your not alone dear.
Don't give up! I wasn't married until I was 44. I had long given up hope that it would ever happen. But it was worth waiting to find the right one.
DOROTHY: Weren't you frightened?
WIZARD: Frightened? Child, you're talking to a man who's laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom, and chuckled at catastrophe... I WAS PETRIFIED!!
LMBO!!!!
I was thinking the same thing! Lmao
If you aren’t petrified, you’d better take a good long look at your inside, there is something very wrong there
@@pacificcoastpiper3949 you should treat yourself to watching the movie. The subtle jokes, and life lessons are beautiful, poetic, memorable, all with an understood 'wink' at the small portion of the audience that is able to Truly Listen to the dialogue beyond the extravagant backdrop. (I feel like a notice a new - to me - 'little something' every time I re-watch it).
No movie has ever made feel as enthralled and awestruck as this one. Reminding myself of what it took to create this unattainable level of timeless amazement in 1939, will never dull in my mind.

So what do you make of the obvious puppet of Dorothy wiggling its legs when the Winged Monkeys are meant to be carting her off to the castle?
Margaret Hamilton (The Wicked Witch) said she often got emotional watching this scene as it showed the generosity that Frank Morgan often showed off screen.
She was in awe of him. They had worked together on other projects, and she rather regretted that she never really got to speak with him while they were working on _Wizard_ because they were hardly ever there at the same time.
The Wizard says to the Tin Man: “And remember, my sentimental friend, that a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.”
To me, these are some of the absolute most beautiful words that anyone has ever spoken to another. It was the greatest gift that he gave. This movie will always be in my heart; it makes me glad that I have one.
I love that the Scarecrow refers to the lion as "Cowardly Lion", and it doesn't bother him in the least.
Why should it? He calls himself that earlier in the film. "Wouldn't you feel degraded to be seen in the company of a Cowardly Lion? I would!"
In all my years of watching this movie, I never caught this line: 1:03 "How can I ever thank you enough?" "Well, you can't". 🤣
Just hit me that the Wizard handed out a fake diploma, a make beleive medial and a pocket watch...... a con man till the end. But you still love him.
No, he told them that those were all in recognition of the qualities they already possessed. He didn't con them. All of those things were real, though how he got them may be another story.
"Hearts will never be practical unless they can be made unbreakable". Truer words were rarely spoken!
One rare exception is my own quote: "If having a crush on Jack Haley isn't a problem for anyone, how can it be a problem that Kimi came back before Dil?" I'm talking about the Rugrats reboot, by the way.
I thought it was kind of really heartwarming that Scarecrow putted Cowardly Lion and Tin Man before him
"what about the heart that you promised Tin Man and the courage that you promised Cowardly Lion"
He's very loyal to his friends, especially Dorothy.
Rest In Peace

It's odd to relate that along with Morgan, both director Victor Fleming and film editor Blanche Sewell also died in 1949.
It’s amazing how what the boys wanted and desired was already within themselves and it was heart warming to see the wizard have them realize it

True, they all played it for real, and that's why it works.
Dorothy and her friends thought he's bad man But seeing him fulfill their requests (even though it is not really) is actually a nice person
That's pretty much what he told them.
@@MaskedMan66let's put it this way... Oscar Diggs(The Wizard) is indeed a good man. Truer words were never spoken. But he is just not a real wizard. Yes at least until he does return to Oz in one of the later Oz books I think it's Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, and Glinda the Good Witch does give him some magic, he is unfortunately not a wizard until then. He is a muggle, or to use a certain term from over here in the states, a No-Maj.
@@mikegallant811 He does go back to Oz in that book, but it's over the course of the next several books (and mostly "off camera") that he learns real magic, both from Glinda and from Ozma. In time, he becomes very powerful indeed.

You love so easy
I love how cynical the wizard is. It's something you don't realise while watching as a child
Ha ha ha ha
oh yeah i totally saw that now!
How do you mean?
The whole point of the wizard is cynicism. You see something great, you look behind the curtain and are immediately disappointed. Listen to what he's saying: "Graduates have no more brains than anyone else but what they do have is a diploma". "People who run away from danger are wise not cowardly, where I come from we call those people heroes" "You don't know how lucky you are not to have a heart" "A heart isn't judged by how much you love but how much other people love you"
+Aaron Parker "People who run away from danger are wise not cowardly, where I come from we call those people heroes" You're conflating two different premises. Avoiding danger is wise if it's just you that's in danger. But if others are in danger, and this is where heroism comes in, you're to forget about yourself and help them no matter the personal cost. And that is what the Cowardly Lion is all about.
1:55 "ha, shucks folks, I'm speechless!" I can imagine every humble person who suddenly has compliments and awards rained on them say this.

0:45 - That is a right triangle
Not in Oz.
D’oh!
Unlike most people, 2 days ago was the first time I ever watched this movie at 21 years old. I just can’t get enough of it. Watching this gives me nostalgia for a time I never witnessed. And by how many children’s movies that take inspiration from this masterpiece, I still think of my childhood when I watch it. This film will forever be in my heart from now on, I just wish I will live to watch it with my children if I ever have any.
I grew up watching this every year through the 70's and 80's, and that time had a magic all its own. But having read about the time the movie came out, I would love to have been there. The Oz books were still being published, the stage extravaganza from the first decade of the 20th century was still fresh in a lot of people's minds, and the actors in the movie were all tops in their field. It was an exciting time, by all accounts. 🙂
I love that old man. By this I don't necessarily mean Frank Morgan (who's a very appreciated actor) but the character he's playing.
Morgan was very well loved by his peers and fans, and was known for being a friendly man, if just a little difficult to work with because he was rather demanding of himself to give the best performance possible in anything he did.
Did you know that he teamed with Judy Garland six years after _Wizard_ on a radio show called "Dick Tracy in B Flat," which was a musical comedy take on the famous comic strip detective? It had an all-star cast, including Bing Crosby as Tracy. Frank was Tracy's industrialist friend Vitamin Flintheart and Judy was Vitamin's ladyfriend Snowflake Falls.
@@MaskedMan66 I've heard about that radio show. Jimmy Durante was playing (I believe) The Mole, and there was something of a little comedic kerfuffle over a scene where Durante was supposed to rush in and yell "STICK 'EM UP", but he flubbed the line (accidentally?) and it came out "SHOVE IT UP".
@@Setebos Durante did play the Mole, and as was his wont, he did mangle a line or two, but I don't remember that. I do recall him calling Snowflake "Slowflake." :-)
Shucks folks I’m speechless is the best line from the cowardly lion 😂
you can love all you want, but in the end... if you aren't a person that can be loved by others...well, you haven't been the type of person you believed yourself to be to begin with. Love hidden in the heart, but never shown is not true love. It makes perfectly good sense if you think about it. Anyone can claim to be a loving person.
it took me a long time to understand this quote. I've thought if it since I was teeny. I only understood it maybe 15 years ago. I love it.
So true, I'm living that truth after 23 years, does this film touch on narcissism at all? Or am I projecting...
I am always seeking a deeper meaning. I am very focused on how to be a better me, reflecting on what and where I am to a point Ive wondered if quite possibly, I am narcissistic . I don't think I'm all that and a bag of chips but I feel I do lots of contemplating over these such things, heart, brain, courage and where to hang my hat. But, interesting idea you have! Maybe so!
I completely agree. At 23 years old, watching this movie for the first time since I was little, I was completely struck by this quote. Really made me reevaluate my own thoughts and actions.
But the Tin Woodman never made such a claim; instead, he showed it in his kindness and his compassion.
"A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others" that's it.

The line "I was petrified." is so damned funny
Always thought it was sweet how the Scarecrow calls out the Wizard for what he falsely promised the others, rather than immediately asking about the brain he wanted.

@@davyjay1978 What "hmmmmm?"
In my mind, this is the best part of the movie - the conferring of the
gifts/ abilities by the Wizard. The dialogue delivered by Frank Morgan
is priceless and exquisite. So many subtleties and metaphors as he
personifies the embodiment of the con man, snake oil salesman,
huckster, and smooth, quick on his feet, wordsmith extraordinaire.
BTW, him having to pause and come up with the term do - gooders
instead of philanthropists was intended to convey his nimbleness
and ability to extricate himself from any situation, much like keeping
the balloon available as an escape contingency just in case. So
many hidden messages contained in a great,great movie!!!
The term is actually "good deed doers".
@@dallas5684, thanks for the correction. I somewhat spontaneously just started to type my comment at that time and slightly misquoted the Wiz.
The dialogue had been written with W.C. Fields in mind, but Morgan made it his own.
I was just going through a harsh identity crisis, but this helped me feel better about being COMPLETELY NORMAL APPARENTLY
He doesn't give them anything. He just gives them what society wants them to have to succeed in their fields. Medals, diplomas, and testimonials. Says a lot about our society and our loss of childlike wisdom.
Not true.... he gave them a new perspective, a different way of thinking and
belief system. The medals, diplomas, and testimonials were symbolic
outward representations of internal qualities. Dude ( Frank Morgan) was
a kind of metaphysical psychologist and just what they needed.
He gave them outward symbols of their inner value. That's not to be sneezed at. Of course in the book, he gave them different gifts; the Scarecrow got a head full of pins, needles, and bran, the Tin Woodman had a silk heart stuffed with sawdust put into his chest, and the Lion got a drink of "courage."
I'm sorry, I wasn't listening. ;)
The Wizard "... I was petrified!!" The Lion: "I can relate!!" Lol!!!
I played the Lion many years ago, and when the Wizard was going through that whole litany, I was eyeing him like, "Yeah, right!" And when he said, "I was petrified," I nodded like, "Called it!"
The great Oz was brilliant in a more subtle way than the people of OZ wanted him to be, so he became that image. Upon being discovered human, he, rather quickly, resumed his role of making Dorothy's companions realize they were trying to find something they already had. Brains, courage and empathy seem to be far easier to explain than home. While the land of Oz felt familiar, Dorothy recognized her companions as mere shadows compared to her family back home. She desired to be with them.
That's just it: neither of her family members was in Oz.
Best movie of all time!

I think the best line in the entire film is, "A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others." It's very true, you know.
Always noticed as a kid that while the scarecrow was the smartest, and tin man the most emotional, and the lion was technically the most bravest in the face of fear, its still hits harder as an adult. As in you are already the thing you seek to be, some ancient knowledge in there.

It turned out he was a very good wizard, a very wise wizard.
An excellent wizard, but the wizardry was demonstrated by his acute, analytical ability and wisdom to read people and swiftly diagnose problems while offering practical solutions..
In the books, where Oz is real, he eventually came back and learned real magic, becoming Princess Ozma's court Wizard.
Even though Dorothy's friends got their wishes 'granted' the trio actually had what they lacked the whole time. For example Scarecrow came up with a few good ideas such as causing the trees to throw apples for Dorothy, coming up with a plan to save Dorothy and bringing down the chandelier to escape the guards. Tin Man was very emotional and cared about Dorothy's welfare and comforted Dorothy when she cried after the gang were told the wizard would not see them. The lion himself faced his fears by attempting to save Dorothy.
rstein926 That's the main message of their adventure. We think we lack something, but it's actually inside of us.
That's been known since 1900.
I love the part where the lion said: all right I'm going in there for Dorothy. Wicked witch or no wicked witch, guards or no guards, I'll tear em apart. I may not come out alive but I'm going in there. There's just one thing I want you to do... Talk me out of it. In other words the lion was ready to go in there and mess up some bad guys.
"Frightened? You are talking to a man who has laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom, and chuckled at catastrophe... I was petrified!"
You want a heart, you don't know how lucky you are not to have one. That line always made me laugh.

Movie is 80 years old and still watchable.I wonder how many of today's movies will be watchable in 80 years?
The Wizard of Oz is arguably the greatest film of all time because of the songs, famous quotes, the technicolour, characters and the morals it brings. But other films such as the Star Wars, Harry Potter and Marvel franchise will still be legendary for decades to come due to their pop cultural status. And The Lion King is arguably the biggest animated film of all time and will still be watched in decades to come.
@@rstein926 We'll see. There aren't terribly many quotes from any of those movies that have become common parlance the way that _Wizard_ dialogue has. Also, _Wizard_ was made for everyone, while the Marvel films especially have a rather select audience. But in the words of Dr. Who, "Time will tell. It always does." :-)
"Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable."
But I still want one.
@@jaredruff9823 Yes. back where I come from there are men who do nothing all day but good deeds. They are called phil, er -- phlib-- er, yes. Er, good-deed-doers. And their hearts are no bigger than yours. But! They have one thing you haven't got! A testimonial! Therefore, in consideration of your kindness, I take pleasure at this time in presenting you with this small token of our esteem and affection. And remember, my sentimental friend, that a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.
@@MaskedMan66 Aw! ☺️ Oh, it ticks! Listen! Look, it ticks!
@@jaredruff9823 Yes, yes!

Tremendous movie. Renting it tonight in 2024.
Be honest, you bought it, didn't you? ;-)
