Wizard of Oz

I believe that the wizard of Oz takes a post modern world view because of these reasons.
  • Postmodernism says that truth cannot be known and i believe that this is shown by Dorthy waking up at the end of it and it just being a dream even though it felt so real.
  • Secondly Postmodernism says that each person has their own view of truth, this is show when Dorthy shows up at Oz and the so called "god" turns out to be a man. In his truth he was god which gives it a postmodern world view.
  • Lastly The Wizard of Oz is postmodern because they believe there is no god and as it turns out in the end of the movie there is no god and it turns out to be a man behind a curtain.
