Wicked
One particular scene inWickedjust get under one’s skin good every time I watch it . Like many who have long loved the melodic , I counted down the Day to watch the on - covert adaptation . I view theWickedmovie for the first clip on the Clarence Shepard Day Jr. it was publish , and was happy enough to accept an invitation from a acquaintance to see it again only a week subsequently . Now , withWickedavailable to digitally purchase , I have watched the picture two more times ( so far ) . This will almost certainly become one of my veritable comfort watches , but I feel myself specially eager to watch a single resounding scene .
Wickedis manifestly a winner in several fashion . It ’s not easygoing to wreak a belovedBroadway melodic to the screen , and project likeCatsandInto the Woodshave demonstrated varying ways that this can go wrong . Director Jon M. Chu carry off the perfect balance withWicked , however . The movie is true to the melodic , and any changes and modification made were only an sweetening . I found " Defying Gravity , " " The Wizard and I , " and otherWickedmusical numbersand their scenes to be even better than the level product in some room . Still , the Ozdust terpsichore fit is what always pull me in .
Galinda & Elphaba’s Ozdust Dance Is Always My Favorite Scene To Watch In Wicked
Chu’s Changes Greatly Enhanced This Scene
Galinda and Elphaba ’s dance at the Ozdust Ballroom may be the individual most important vista in theWickedmovie . While it is undoubtedly primal in these two characters ' narration in the Broadway musical , the on - silver screen variation took this to a unlike point by focusing on the instant ’s emotion . It ’s clear to me that Chu recognize the advantage he had here . The scene is profoundly artistic , but not so much that it becomes pretentious or trivial . The balance hereallowed the prescribed jump to Galinda and Elphaba ’s friendship to resonate with me in a way it never had beforetheWickedmovie .
Wickedis available for rent or purchase digitally , and will be devoid to rain cats and dogs on Peacock beginning March , 21 , 2025 .
The Reason Wicked’s Ozdust Scene Will Never Get Old To Me
This Scene Perfectly Captures The Complicated Nature Of Galinda & Elphaba’s Friendship
The first time I watched theWickedmovie , I felt a bit uncomfortable with the wayGalinda and Elphaba ’s Ozdust dancewas draw out in comparison to the melodious . As someone who knows this storey inside and out , I was , admittedly , count down the moments to " Popular , " which I have it off would come after " Dancing Through Life . " After all these year , the gravity of moments like the one take on out at the Ozdust Ballroom had been somewhat lost to me . However , by slowing things down and really emphasizing the eccentric ' irritation , Chu forced viewers like me to stop and fully appreciate the situation .
Turning the Ozdust scene into the anchor for the firstWickedmovie was a hefty choice on Chu ’s part , and I ’ll never get banal of watching it .
Now , with every rewatch ofWicked , I know this scene even more . There areso many layer of nicety to how Elphie and Galanda start up their friendly relationship . Both girls were emotionally vulnerable in a way they were n’t typically comfortable , and this moral force carries across their friendly relationship . Their saltation becomes an privileged prank that is cite throughoutWicked , and this is entirely unique to the movie . Turning the Ozdust prospect into the anchor for the firstWickedmovie was a powerful option on Chu ’s part , and I ’ll never get tired of watching it .
