The Three Sisters

The Three Sisters

Sure Oz didn't make Theodora bite the apple , but he lied to
her about letting her be his queen and being a wizard !
Oz isn't careful or caring about women.
I know he is the antagonist of the story ,
but he still did something very bad.
Why doesn't Oz be responsible for that ?
He did even tell any women he lied
to that he was sorry. He just
pretends to turn into this great person ,
but guess what you still treat women terrible.
And I can't stand that.

I knew someone had to turn into the ugly green witch and she would be in the next movie. But I was still hoping Theodora could
get her heart back somehow, Evanora tricked everyone to thinking her lies. First Glinda was the wicked witch that killed their father, and second that Oz had an affair with her.
But somehow I wanted to think she was a good person.
Although I had some inkling that she destroyed her heart to
and turned into an ugly wicked witch.
But kept hoping she would change her mind and
save Oz and Theodora, sad thing is the only difference was
that without a heart she was only a little less merciless
than Theodora.
What was scary too was that I knew what Theodora felt like ,
the betrayal, hate , fear , envy. The seemingly unending
pool of pain and fear.
And that is the worst place to be.
Theodora was ultimately the most purely evil , but she is also
the most trusting and hopeful of others loving her , she would
do anything to be loved or be happy. Because she trust exactly
what people is saying is the truth she was easily manipulated
by Evanora , although she wasn't lying about Oz lying
and then decided to give up her heart , although she probably
didn't expect to work that well.

What was most surprising is that all the witches where both good and bad. Sure the titles were good and bad depending on what side you choose. But each witch was born with both powers.
What Evanora said about the wicked witch deciding to be wicked
and the most wicked of wicked , was true of all sisters.

Even Glinda , being good or bad was a choice . But each one of them wasn't originally 100% good or bad %.
People just aren't but somehow I expected
the witches to be different somehow.
And how come Evanora isn't the Wizard of Oz sequel?

I obviously have to read the books to find out more.
Great movie over all.
 I don't usually ever say this , but Disney make another Oz movie , this one was fantastic. I need to see more of the three sisters. It was easy to sympathize with them and see how they feel , I am one of three sisters too , and have alot of the same problems with my sisters. I hope Theodora gets her heart back , and so does Evanora , I am not an idiot , but its possible. Maybe I could write a sequel with a happy ending , but I really like miserable endings too. 

Ha ha ,I should get paid to be a movie critic , that was way too easy and fun to do.
 

The Great Gatsby -Then and Now

The story of The Great Gatsby is mine too in a way. I am the fair Daisy Faye who fell for Jay Gatsby pretending to be a solider. A great resounding love that shook the universe and shook my destiny forever.

Then Gatsby left for war, he could return to Daisy , but he didn't want to return until he was a rich man. The trouble and irony is once Gatsby had the riches , Daisy didn't want him as much and had decided to marry Tom Buchanan . I think she was in love with Tom for a small moment. But her heart always belonged to Gatsby.

But she doesn't care about the people she leaves in her path. She didn't care that she killed Myrtle after telling Tom she loved Gatsby. Gatsby should have left Daisy alone after forcing her to tell Tom she didn't love him anymore. He couldn't see how vulnerable she was. How she doesn't handle herself well.

Gatsby looks so mild , then he has a look on his face like Nick said , " that he had killed another man." When he held Tom with his fists after his and Daisy's confession.

The way he held her hand to light her cigarette in her quivering hand , like she was made of fragile glass and he was blessed to touch it. Touch it as a lover. And looked in her eyes because she was his Queen.

That was as much a confession of love as any word more so intact. Then he tells Tom that Daisy never loved him. Tom looks at Daisy with anger in a " I knew it" way. Gatsby asks Daisy to tell Tom again that she never loved him. She does , " I don't love you , I never loved you ."

Then " I loved you both at the same time."

Gatsby goes mad with rage at Tom and locks him in his deathly stare. Its really scary because you never see him look angry or bothered at all through out the movie . So jovial . But it must be a mask to hide the pain. His feelings of inadequacy in front of Daisy , his crumbling business as a bootlegger, feeling like he didn't have any parents . Feeling like he was "born to be a God", as Nick Carraway put it.

Gatsby doesn't have a place for his negative emotions , all of his concentration is on obtaining Daisy. Does he love her , or is she just one his "treasures" that proves he is the man of wealth and power he always dreamed of being?

At first I thought for sure it was love, but could it just be that as a pretty , intelligent , and exciting girl she was just magnificent like all of his other treasures , something to just prove his worth beyond a penniless nobody living in the middle of nowhere with two incorrect parents.

One part that movie really did well on was the parties. I didn't see how lavish they were in the books. Not like the movie showed it. The twenties were all about letting go, people didn't' have any reason to fear with the First World War over. The threat of invasion by any country was gone.

And they had gained so much reparations and so much business , such an unnaturally high amount of financial good luck burned it self out with nasty repercussions.

With nothing to fear and worry about. The wine flowed like water and the parties burned like the most condensed fuel.

Concern , worry , excess , sadness weren't on the public's mind. We all have this money( even the poorer folk partied and found excesses if they could manage it) , might as well go crazy , invest and party. Sleep around and live the new life of excess.

They barely touched on it , but drugs were prevalent in the early twenties. I don't think society has really gotten past that , especially not modern convenience store 7/11 24 hours a day / 7 days a week society. Anything you want in your hand nearly instantaneously. They drugged themselves to celebrate and maybe to stop themselves from thinking of the horrors of war they didn't want to relive.

I think we ( well most of modern America) is living a similar life. Modern conveniences like McDonalds and Arbys , ( even though it is junk ) it is available any time and even people without much money can afford it. Disposable water bottles , condoms littering the streets , newspapers , pop cans , beer bottles.

TV , Radio , I pod , I pad , I phone , laptop. Any convenience we can dream up is always available to distract and drug you into a happy stupor. Feel unhappy after a nasty breakup , go see a movie. Had a bad day buy a Hagen Dazz . Want a real buzz you can easily get some marijuana and coke even though it is certainly illegal like alcohol was in the twenties.

We haven't had any World Wars lately.
We have just be taught to be careless and wasteful like Daisy and Tom. Thanks to the unnatural booms after two world wars we have continued to modernize and innovate new products and markets into a super inflated , super wasteful and debt filled society.

I wonder if we well get super inflated again and experience another depression. It would some huge economic event ( IE: world war) to really super inflate it again.

I wonder how we all would do without our modern "necessities" for one week?
