What goes on up here?
Terminal velocity
>>220121416In the original story, there's a big wall around the city that blocks it from view, and it's just regular stone. The guards make everyone wear emerald goggles before they enter, so it appears to be made of emerald. This was a reference to Greenbacks being touted by the government and bankers as equivalent to silver dollars despite the unbacked paper currency being inherently valueless.
>>220121473Lost Generation fags will literally write a book full of politico-economic allegory instead of campaigning to make better decisions. What a cucked generation.
>>220121473Nowadays the government touts silverbacks despite them being inherently valueless.
>>220121473That’s pretty heavy symbolism for a children’s book
>>220121648Damned 1900s kids and their symbolism can't even enjoy a straightforward narrative without having to complicate things.
>>220121630lol
>>220121681>>220121648>>220121598>>220121473The word you're looking for is "hamfisted"
>>220121416
>>220121738I appreciate you wanting to be involved in the thread, but hamfisted would be "the city is named Bankerville and all the buildings are made of paper bank notes and the bankers all insist their paper buildings are just as durable as stone."
>>220121738I don't think it is. The allegory and symbolism is literally the basis for the story, but can also be glossed over entirely in favor of just enjoying the narrative. Clumsy allegory wouldn't function that way.
>>220121784What does this have to do with anything?
>>220121416The guy who wrote the books was a follower of Helena Blavatsky. So I'm sure it's some sort of luciferian, tap into your own power against God, kind of nonsense. The story is full of this kind of thing
>>220121416A better question is what do they eat?
>>220121784Thanks for infecting our brains with this pedo faggotry.

>>220121836see>>220121416>What goes on up here?stupid hag
>>220122280We all know you were just looking for an excuse to spread pedo-normalization prop.>Look everyone, even back then it was totally normal and just a fact of human nature! Kys.
>>220122323i don't give a fuck about "you all"fuck off back to where you came from (i.e. Henry VIII's asshole and Napoleon's cunt)
>>220122365You'll burn in hell unless you repent.
>>220121878may it win in the duel with feminism-communism, and may all women be stripped of their rights
>>220121416>OZ is a real place in the books, they visit it multiple times during the sequels as well >30s movie for whatever reason goes with the "it was all a dream" ala Alice in Wonderland For what purpose? most casuals seem to think the "all a dream" ending from the 30s movie is the real one nowadays, only the 80s anime got the "OZ is a real place you can go to" deal from the books right
>>220121473the actual wizard of oz books are so different from any of the adaptations its basically a completly different story
>>220122391>hell>repentwords like that are worth nothing in the mouth of a talking animal like you

>>220122365Kek. What kind of schizo response brings up Henry VIII and Napoleon?
>>220121839Probably, yes, but it's meant as a satire. He just illustrates the way a female sees the world. It's the reverse of the coin, the obverse being represented by Alice in Wonderland.Of course females (and most males, who in fact are females with a penis) would never understand this, just as fish don't understand they live in water.
>>220122365Albert Fish typology. Someone lock this maniac up.

>>220122522wtf why is she wearing lingerie?
>>220124159How the hell is that lingerie
>>220122410Boomer movie executives thought audiences wouldn't buy the idea of a tornado taking you to a magical land for real.
