‘Wicked’ The Movie Is Uniquely A Film of Two Parts
Wicked (The Movie Part 1) Has Become A Worldwide Phenomenon. Witches, Wizards, Wickedness, Wars, Rivalries, Redeemption And Reconcilitations (…Or Not) – Have Provided A Landscape To Which Various People Seem Able To Relate.
Big Time!
The Little Innocents. The Big Grown-Ups. Certain Sensitive Adults. The Bullied. The Marginalised. The Vulnerable. The Victorious. Those Who Love A Great Outfit, A Great Voice, A Great Showtune…And of Course A Great Triumph of Good Over Evil. But Who’s Good And Who’s Evil Is Not Necessarily What It Seems. Ultimatley This Is For Those Who Love A Great Movie.
From All The Cast And Throughout Wicked The Movie There’s Great Acting, Singing, Cinematography And High Production Values.
What’s Stupendously Brilliant Is The Way The Studio Has Announced The Release. Essentially A Year In Advance They’ve Announced ‘Wicked’ The Movie Comes In Two Parts. Firstly There’s One Standalone Film This Year And They’ve Simultaneously Announced There’s A Second Standalone Film To Be Released Next Year, Around The Same Time.
As The Release Time Is The Holiday Season (Thanksgiving And Christmas) It All Adds To The Excitement of The Movie, Its Cool Factor And Its Kudos. It Also Increases Its Chances of Becoming A Holiday Season Classic, Providing A Natural Elevation To Its Status And That of The Cast Members And Filmmakers.
All Round It Really Is Simply Truly Wicked!

Wicked The Movie (Part 1) Is A Game of Two Halfs
Wicked (The Movie Part 1) Is Indeed A Game of Two Halfs. It Requires Perserverance From Both The Adults And The Kids For Whom It’s Intended, At Different Ends of The Spectrum.
There’s Before The Wizard Wends His Way Into The Lives of Two Young Female Scorcery Students At Magic School
And
There’s After He Reveals His True Colours, And Those of The Horrible Mrs Morrible.
The First Half of Wicked (The Movie Part 1) Is Full of Fantastical Kids Stuff Which Innocent Kids Laugh At And Love.
For Them It’s Fun And Fabulous. But The Second Half May Be A Little More Scary And Challenging.
The Second Half Reveals A Strong Political Subtext For The Grown Ups.
For The Politically Switched On And Tuned-In The Timing Is Quite Amazing Considering Western Politics And The Results of The American Election. But To Get To This Second Half Is Something of An Endurance As Some of The Fantastical Elements of The First Half Are A Bit Bonkers. It’s Bearable However As It Seems To Delight The Young Ones. And In That Sense There’s Something For Everyone.
The Two Magic School Student Protagonists Are Already Each Dealing With Their Own Dramatic, Challenging, Family, Asthetical, Educational And Institutional Issues. Will The Wicked Ways of The Wicked Wizard Push Them Closer Together Or Force Them Further Apart? Or Both?
Who Will Fly And Soar To New Heights? Who Will Plumment And Sink To New Lows? And Who Is Really Good And Who Is Really Bad…Do We Really, Honestly, Truthfully Know?
What We Know Here At TheOrator.Press (TO.P) Is That Given That Its Holiday Season Release Date, The Integral Presence of The Wizard As A Baddie, And The Different Level of Content Comprehension For Kids And Adults, The Film Has Something of A Cinematic Panto Element To It. Particularly Here In Britian Whence The Lead Actress Cynthia Erivo Orignates. This Is Indeed A Stroke of Genius And Wizardry.
So Too Is Selecting Glossy Magazine Vanity Fair To Be Its Headline Press Partner Throughout The Year. Its Style Is Supreme, It’s Writing Is Sound And Its Pictures Are Spectacular (Such As Above).
