the image literally looks like nothing so i dont believe the rumor at all.
need more evidence than some nothing in the back of a movie still.
Camden Moore
Basically, the deep state is out to kill Donald Trump. Pass it on.
Henry Morales
What am I supposed to be seeing?
Dylan Miller
its just a stork. pay no attention to the pint-sized body hanging and swinging from the rope
Logan Ortiz
one of the midget actors hanging himself
Caleb Myers
why wouldn't the actors react to seeing a recent suicide?
why wouldn't they just reshoot the scene?
why would the midget be able to get into a closed set to begin with?
why wouldn't a single crew member have stopped them?
how do you explain the multiple scenes before this which feature various birds meandering around the set?
Mason Rivera
>Bird is in a completely different spot, doesn't match up with the placement or motion of the silhouette at all
guys I'm getting a little freaked out here
Ryan Turner
If you look closely Judy Garland does react.
Too expensive to reshoot.
Oliver Hughes
1939 would be the answer
Elijah Evans
>Too expensive to reshoot.
wow yeah must be sooo expensive to tell the actors to go back to the starting places and then use a little extra film. this tiny indie production definitely didn't have the money to do something that extravagant
Julian Morris
Do you have any idea how expensive technicolor was at the time?
Josiah Nelson
Dont listen to this fag, I have the behind the scenes book, they had plenty of money
Austin Hughes
>you share a board with this person
Parker Price
Believe me I know. And they didn't have a studio backing them or anything, what we saw of the movie was probably everything they shot
Ayden Nguyen
about 3.50
David Flores
But that's beside the point. The hanging munchkin is real and they CGI'd it out (poorly)
Liam Roberts
I watched Wizard of Oz on LSD once and most of it was a joy but the munchkins scenes gave me severe anxiety

Poor little man was too dark, too behind the trees to be seen. Ironically he wound up being seen by millions, right in front of those who ignored him in his final moments. Poetic.
Andrew Sanders
Poor judy though
Christian Bailey
Dunno if it's a hanging munchkin but they definitely edited something out for the restored release. Only way we'll be able to tell what is going back and seeing the thing in theaters
Nicholas Hall
it wasnt the safest set to begin with. a dead midget extra was the least of their problems
"The Cowardly Lion and Scarecrow masks were made of foam latex makeup made by makeup artist Jack Dawn, who was one of the first makeup artists to use this technique.[32][33] Bolger was left with permanent lines around his mouth and chin from his mask. It took an hour each day to slowly peel the glued-on mask from his face.[34] Hamilton received severe burns on her hands and face when there was an accident with the fire while filming her exit from Munchkinland. She was wearing her green makeup at the time, which was usually removed with acetone due to the toxicity of its copper content. In this case, due to Hamilton's burns, makeup artist Jack Young removed the makeup with alcohol instead to prevent infection.[34] The Tin Man's costume was made of leather-covered buckram and the oil used to grease his joints was made from chocolate syrup.[35] The Cowardly Lion's costume was made from real lion skin and fur.[36] For the "horse of a different color" scene, Jell-O powder was used to color the white horses.[37] Asbestos was used to achieve some of the special effects like the witch's burning broomstick and the fake snow that covers Dorothy as she sleeps in the field of poppies.[38][39]"

Eli James
based retard. the hanging munchkin was visible in the 1950s DVD release. It wasn't edited out until decades later.
David Moore
the later releases CGI'd it
John Sullivan
It's not real.
Things that are real
1. The jitterbug scene that got cut
2. Buddy Ebsen nearly died due to aluminum allergy
3. Dorothy doing coke and getting railed by midgets in her trailer between takes
Sebastian Moore
The edits happened in the 80th anniversary restored release you idiot

Plot twist: it was not by his own hand.

dog was the best actor in this shitstorm of a movie

I have the VHS release when it was first released on home video and its so grainy you can't tell what it is
Evan Foster
one of my hobbies is to restore deleted scenes or music back to films. This time I reconstructed a removed scene from Wizard of Oz at the end where she wishes herself back to Kansas.
Since all the music score was recorded before the scenes were deleted I was able to use the script to rebuild lost scenes.
Asher Adams
>1950s dvd release
Joseph Parker
Of course it's fake. Most background shit is CGI in movies someone could have CGI'd this in if it wasn't someone else why would the vfx person add this in. Makes no fucking sense. Same with people who complain about the fx in the moon landing. It was a long time ago the fx weren't as good to have a flag waving. They had to account for less gravity and less wind. Fuck I hate these boomer campire stories.
Dominic Wilson
I want it to be true for the creep factor but I think it got debunked.
>mfw marilyn manson was going to make a lewis carol horror film with pre-wall Evan Rachel Wood as Alice but it got canned

Midgets can't hang themselves, their necks are as strong as a real human beings so their grotesque twisted little bodies aren't heavy enough to strangle themselves like that.

yeah, right.
Jose Jenkins
I have nothing against the horrid little freaks, I just think they should have been gassed at birth.
Ethan Myers
wizard of oz had the biggest budget of any film MGM had ever done when it was produced
Elijah Reyes
midge
Jason Morgan
haha imagine a condemned midget being executed by firing squad, would they make him stand on a chair or would they hire a bunch of other midgets to be the shooters?
Easton Gonzalez
Yes, because it was an expensive production. That doesn't mean unlimited budget.
Isaiah Anderson
Yes and the line was drawn at this reshoot. Very convenient
Dominic Walker
Have you SEEN the edited version? You don't think it's fishy they decided to edit ONLY that part?
Parker Lewis
They weren't going single take on every shot, user. If a munchkin really killed itself on set and they only noticed his corpse after they filmed a take they would definitely reshoot it after removing the body.
Blake Foster
That's the thing, they didn't notice it. They didn't notice it until decades later.
Adrian Hall
That's a matte painting.
Lincoln White
it's literally the director and dp's job to see what's happening in-frame. not to mention the multiple editors who had to watch that sequence dozens of times while producing the theatrical cut. the producers and the director/ads/dp all watched the rushes that very night
Josiah Perry
The actors walked straight towards it, and i isn't masked its center frame.
If it was actually anything other than a bird the broad would have flipped her shit in 3 seconds.
Jacob Green
the cowardly lion definitely at the very least
Owen Morales
I don't understand the big fuss.
Even if that's really a dead midge hanging there, so what?
He was probably mentally ill and deliberately wanted to ruin the movie by offing himself mid-scene on set. Fuck him, just move on.
Wyatt Bailey
It was a very stressful production.
The Game of Thrones people didn't even notice a fucking starbucks cup in the shot. Anything is possible. Midgets are small.
Jose Morales
master class trolling

>IT'S A MIDGET AN HERO'ING GUISE
Luke Hernandez
You understand how celluloid works, right? It's much less sensitive to light than the human eye. When you see a light in a film it's a fair bet that it was much brighter in person than on film. In addition to that, the eye has a much larger dynamic range than a camera, meaning it can see dark objects in a well lit area much better than a camera.
Basically, there's no way in hell the camera picked up something the actors and crew on set wouldn't be able to see. Dorothy and the rest walk towards it, for fuck's sake.
Kayden Murphy
They'd just have the firing squad kneel down.
Jackson Anderson
God damn I wish I was one of those midgets.
