Oz the Great and Powerful

The movie, "Oz the Great and Powerful", is a propaganda film that extols:

• The usual Disney myth of the correlation between beauty and goodness;
• The capitalist hero myth;

The younger sister, Theodora, prefers to keep her ugliness as a manifestation of the hate she feels inside.

The eldest sister, Evanora, does not have a political program to explain her rule. Why did she overthrow her father? Why did she think she was a better ruler of Oz than her father.

Her political program of control is profess the myth of a liberator, while portraying herself as the defender of Oz.

She has the caste of flying monkeys to terrorise the countryside. She has an official enemy to blame all of the acts of terror on. Thus, she would justify her rule as protector against the terror she creates in the chaos after the death of her father.

I would have to assume that she wanted power and wealth for herself. Terror is a means to an end.

The younger sister believes the propaganda. It is only when Oz betrays her that is converted to the dark side, as it were.
