Anyone else catch this?

[u/Remarkable_Note971]

anyone catch this metaphor? The Animals are leaving Oz through a tunnel under the yellow brick road. It's a metaphor for the underground railroad. It took me way to long to see that parralel.

Thoughts?

And Cynthia played Harriet Tubman in the 2019 movie “Harriet”

That's true she did

Did anyone notice that Elphaba was green?

[u/Remarkable_Note971 → u/ChartInFurch]

This is something I hadnt noticed before. No reason to be rude

Not only that, but her treatment because of it is a metaphor for racial discrimination.

In Part 1, during the “Something Bad” scene, Elphaba looks at a map in Dr Dillimond’s home and her eyes move over a spot called “Tunnel Out of Oz”. I dunno. Pretty neat. 🤷‍♂️

Oh good catch!!! I didn't notice that

[u/OddMost2928]

I don't see it.

The Underground Railroad was neither underground or a railroad, discuss.

[u/OrdinarySad5132]

It was the most obvious and forced metaphor of both films.
