Re: Things about books, movies, etc. you missed...

[(Anonymous)]

- Not having read the Wizard of Oz books, I had no idea Dorothy was supposed to be eight years old, and so when I saw the Wizard of Oz movie, I couldn't get behind a fifteen year old wearing pigtails and acting like, well, an eight year old child. I wasn't sure if she was just supposed to be very sheltered or if the movies just wrote her character like that without realizing how immature they were making her. Of course it turns out that they wanted the teenage Judy Garland to play her, and tried compensating for the obvious Dawson Casting.

I thought part of the casting rumors included Shirley Temple but back than actors worked for certain studios and they would have had to pay the studio to get Shirley Temple, if I remember correctly.

But the books are amazing and I love them!

This is so weird to me. Dorothy doesn't act like an eight year old in the movie (to me) at *all*. She acts like a fairly sheltered and naive young teen, not a pre-pubesent child. Considering she grew up in middle-of-fucking-nowhere Kansas during the Depression, that kind of innocence isn't exactly surprising (and she was also obviously sheltered by her family and the farm hands, so.....)

I dunno.

This. And that's not even taking into account the era the film was made in. If you compare her to the other heroines of her day, her character accomplished a lot.

She really did.

I never got "eight year old" from her personality and hairstyle, just "sheltered country girl."
