Say goodbye to Kensas.
В мгновение ока торнадо уносит 20-летнюю Дороти Гейл и полицейскую собаку в мир, далекий от нашего — мистическую землю, охваченную кровавой войной между конкурирующими королевствами, в страну Оз. Дороти попадает в этот опасный мир и раскрывает свою истинную судьбу.
"Emerald City" (2017), produced by Universal Television in the United States, is a visually stunning and dark reimagining of L. Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz." This modern adaptation transports viewers to a gritty and dystopian version of Oz, where the familiar characters are reintroduced with complex backstories and moral ambiguities. Dorothy Gale, portrayed by Adria Arjona, is no longer the innocent farm girl but a tough and determined young woman who finds herself in the midst of a power struggle in this new world. The series delves into themes of corruption, power, and the quest for identity, all set against a backdrop of breathtaking special effects and intricate set designs. The narrative of "Emerald City" unfolds with Dorothy's accidental arrival in Oz after a tornado sweeps her away from Kansas. She soon discovers that the land is ruled by the enigmatic Wizard, played by Vincent D'Onofrio, whose authority is challenged by various factions, including the witches. As Dorothy navigates this treacherous landscape, she encounters allies like the kind-hearted Lucas, a reinterpretation of the Scarecrow, and the stoic warrior West, adding layers to the traditional tale. The series masterfully blends elements of fantasy with political intrigue, creating a compelling storyline that keeps viewers engaged. One of the standout aspects of "Emerald City" is its bold departure from the source material, offering a fresh perspective on well-known characters. The witches, portrayed by a talented ensemble including Ana Ularu as West and Joely Richardson as Glinda, are given significant depth and complexity, challenging the traditional notions of good and evil. The show's darker tone and mature themes set it apart from previous adaptations, appealing to an audience looking for a more sophisticated take on the classic story. The cinematography and production design further enhance the series' atmosphere, creating a visually immersive experience that captures the essence of a world teetering on the brink of chaos. Despite its ambitious vision and strong performances, "Emerald City" faced challenges in maintaining a consistent audience, leading to its cancellation after one season. However, the series remains a notable entry in the realm of fantasy television, praised for its daring reinterpretation and high production values. For fans of dark fantasy and those intrigued by the reimagining of classic tales, "Emerald City" offers a captivating, albeit brief, journey into a richly crafted world that pushes the boundaries of the original "Wizard of Oz" narrative.
