Themes that we may retrieve from a movie are viewed differently by different people. This would be because a theme is not what happens in a movie, but more of the meaning that we take from what is being portrayed in the film (Goodykoontz, & Jacobs, 2011). With different people, there will always be different views of what they see in something, which is what makes us unique. You have different people that talk about a film and may see a theme in a movie that someone else might not have even noticed, maybe because they were concentrating on another point of view.

The major theme in this movie would be, even though you go off and visit all the wonderful places in the world, no matter how beautiful they are, or how many friends along the way you meet, there is still no place like home. As you see in the beginning of the movie, the movie is shown in black and white while Dorothy is in Kansas. She gets upset because Miss Gulch is trying to get rid of her dog and best friend Toto. Dorothy decides to run away in order to save her dog, she also feel that her family does not understand her, and she wants to see other places.
