Permalink tonemonotone: This move was the most hopeless piece of cinema I’ve seen in years. It shows how one man can ruin lives, step over others, and never have to face any consequences to achieve his goals.   When we’re introduced to Oz he’s a selfish, lying flirt who pretty much hits on anything with tits and a pulse. He uses lies and showmanship to win the hearts of women, without even diversifying his game. When he leaves the carnival it’s shown that he’s ruined one relationship, and has probably ruined a few more beforehand. When he gets to Oz, he actually creates the Wicked Witch, the woman who will plague Oz for years to come. Her turning to the side of evil was a direct consequence of his actions (even if it was partially handwaived as fate), and he never even apologizes for it. Hell, he barely says two words to the girl for the rest of the movie.    Meanwhile, he treats his friends like crap. That monkey was nothing but his whipping boy until the end, mirroring the relationship he had with his assistant, who he never made amends with. In the small amount of time he was on screen, Frank the assistant took a boatload of verbal abuse, and despite the small amount of doubt he was shown to exhibit, still remained loyal as Oz’s best man, and for what? Oz would still treat him terribly if he came back, as he never really came to understand how awful he was to those around him.   Throughout the movie, Oz lies and cheats his way to the top, and in the penultimate act, the film makes light of this; we’re supposed to believe that Oz’s ability to deceive, manipulate, and lie make him a great man, when in fact, they’re vilifying traits that any other movie would make a point to detract. Oz never believed he was the prophecized hero, nor did Glinda. To them, the whole thing was a lie, and the film took that and let them run with it, right to the throne of the Emerald City.   Oz was a terrible person, who treated his friends like dirt, viewed women as playthings, and ended up ruining peoples’ lives due to his own selfish motivations. He never apologized, he was never forced to come clean, yet he still managed to get everything he could ever hope for. It’s sad, but Sam Raimi has used “Oz” to show us that you don’t have to be a good man, to be a great man.
