Tbh i am genuinely not surprised that things were like this back in the 1930s but i definitely wish that people could've just hired crazy acrobats in movies so that so many people wouldn't have to be on the brink of death

[joshuajustfine]

The fact that this movie was even completed is crazy... how

[Lavenderdragenbooklover]

24:53 I'm surprised that Judy Garland was even able to sing after smoking over 80 cigarettes a day.

It's a miracle that nobody died on set thank goodness. Those people went through pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥 putting this film together.

Its Actually terrifying what they did to actors in old movies with all those chemicals or something

[a.m]

The director seemed like a terrible person

My favorite bit of movie lore is the synchronicity between Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of Oz, a psychedelic coincidence for recreational drug users in the 70’s. My least favorite Wizard of Oz fact is the paradox that 14-year-olds in Iowa can legally drive, buy Galaxy gas, sip synthetic lean, work at a slaughterhouse, yet cannot check out the book Wicked from their high school library due to book bans and censorship. A really great video for sure and The Wizard of Oz is a stark reminder of the exploitative nature of the Hollywood system.

Response to Margarett Hamilton being burned, and realizing she'd be sued if she complained,

"I think that sums up

Not just hollywood, it pretty much sums up all workers rights in the 1930's especially when it comes to woman and other groups in society didn't really have a lot of ability to speak up for themselves. It isn't as though people were being treated great at the time in factories or coal mines.

bro i LOVEEE old hollywood videos esp when they talk abt the wizard of, U JUST EARNED A SUBSCRIBER GIRL

These conditions were horrible but we can’t look at the past with disdain. This was the normal back then. We just have to be grateful that people found a way to make everything better and that we don’t need to risk people’s lives over making a movie.

OMG I LUV UR VIDEOS!! I also feel like Judy Garland deserved better with the kind hearted person she was!!

[Creepy...x]

i feel so bad for Dorothy so sweet and caring but so mistreated

[WhitneyFord-opxu]

What I’m hearing is the director could never get enough.

[Charlottec]

You are so good at these videos I really thought I knew everything but then I was like oh…

[Too-obsessedwiththings]

25:55 I kinda get why they didn’t want her. Imagine dying in that lions suit and scarecrow and then you have this unknown actor that could either make it great or fail it all all that effort for nothing that’s probably why they’re mad.

Getting a movie role in 2024: 🤩
Getting a movie role in 1939: 😰

[WesPage-eu]

This poor girl she had to do drugs diets smoking at such a young age and this probably made her look beautiful and good so that’s probably why a lot of people tried to grope her. Judy didn’t deserve that she didn’t know the price of getting the lead role.
