The underlining connection between The Return To Oz and my family is deep. I've debated for the past few days whether it was something I wanted to put on this wiki. My dad passed away when I was 18, my senior year of high school. I think this distinctly ties into my unconscious changing of the movie's title. For me thinking about this movie and re-watching it has been a return OF the times I spent with my dad and the return OF memories OF my dad. I also think it may be part of the reason I left the movie in my hometown this past weekend even though I intended to pick it up. I "forgot" it. I wasn't looking forward to seeing the movie and consequently thinking about my dad and being a little sad. I believe the reason I remembered the movie as a dark and twisted even though it isn't is because on some level the movie reminds me of my dad's passing which was a very dark time in my life. At the time I considered it very twisted and unfair that my farther had to go so suddenly and while I was so young. So why did I pick this movie? Interesting question. I've been trying to understand why I chose this movie myself knowing it's association. October 20th was my dad's birthday. So he's definitely been on my mind a little more this month than usual. I'm sure this is why I leaned toward this movie.
