The Secret of Oz Trailers

It is well known in economics academia that The Wonderful Wizard of Oz written by L. Frank Baum in 1900 is loaded with powerful symbols of monetary reform which were the core of the Populist movement and the 1896 and 1900 president bid of Democrat William Jennings Bryan. The yellow brick road (gold standard), the emerald city of Oz (greenback money), even Dorothy’s silver slippers (changed to ruby slippers for the movie version) were the symbol of Baum’s and Bryan’s belief that adding silver coinage to gold would provide much needed money to a depression-strapped, 1890s America. We believe Baum’s symbols represent the only solution to relieve the growing economic hardship here in America – and the rest of the world. Practically speaking, 2009 marks the 70th anniversary of the 1939 MGM release of the The Wizard of Oz movie, so interest will be very high. Even Oz websites put up by kids get millions of hits.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

A wonderful sequel and addition to a world wide known masterpiece "The Money Masters" released in 1996.No, no conspiracy theories there I'm afraid, just plain facts and hard evidence from hundreds of books on American and world history, politics, finance and Austrian economics that will heat-up arithmetic and logic devices in Your brain. And if You thought '07-'10 economic crisis is almost over, the film will make You think again.The film is another massive nail to the coffin of Keynesian view. Films like these will never be broadcast by Your local TV station.As the chronicles say, the treasures of knowledge are the most rare, and guarded the most harshly.
