The Wiz

i’m convinced everyone that dislikes this movie just hates to see black joy. such an amazing film, and this will always be dear to my heart from the first time i ever watched it with my pops to finally rewatching it much older and now that he’s passed on. every musical number is wonderful, the costumes and sets were beautiful, and special shoutout to the makeup team too while we’re talking about the technical side. a retelling of the wizard of oz with a black cast in an urban setting was a need, and is a reminder of the importance of community between our people and how strong we are- despite whatever may come our way. genuinely feeling so nostalgic right now.
