"The Wizard Of Oz" Parallels



In "The Matrix," the movie "The Wizard of Oz" is referred to many times. In fact, not only is the Matrix is a lot like Oz, but the character of Neo is very similar to Dorothy as well. Here are some examples of "The Wizard Of Oz" Connection:
오즈의 마법사는 많이 영화에서 나온다. 매트릭스의 세계가 동화 속 세계와 비슷해서 뿐만이 아니라 네오의 캐릭터에서 도로시와 닮은 점을 발견할 수 있다. 아래에 예를 들겠다.

Cypher refers directly to this movie when he says to Neo, "Buckle your seat belt, Dorothy, cuz Kansas is going bye-bye."
사이퍼의 대사가 직접적으로 표현한다. "(네오를 지칭하며)도로시, 안전벨트를 꼭 매란 말이야. 이제 캔사스하고는 안녕이니까" (역자:비디오와 DVD 우리말 자막은 직역이 아니라 좀 다르다)

In "The Wizard Of Oz" Dorothy is told by the Good Witch to "follow the yellow brick road." In "The Matrix," Neo is told by Trinity to "follow the white rabbit." In both cases, these helpful clues lead both characters on the right path.
도로시는 북쪽의 착한 마녀로부터 (에메랄드 시로 가려면) 노란 벽돌길을 따라 걸어가면 된다고 지시받는다. 네오는 흰토끼를 쫓으라고 지시받는다. 내용은 다르지만 주인공을 정해진 올바른 목적지로 인도해 줄 단서가 주어진다는 점이 같다.

In "The Wizard Of Oz," Dorothy tells everyone she meets that she wants to go home, back to Kansas. In "The Matrix," the first thing that Neo asks Morpheus upon realizing the truth, is "I can't go back [to the only home I know --the matrix--], can I?"
도로시는 만나는 모든 이에게 자기의 목적, 캔사스의 집으로 돌아가고 싶다고 얘기한다. 네오가 현실세계를 깨닫고 나서 모피어스에게 처음 묻는 질문은 '다시 돌아갈 수 없는가'이다.

Both Neo and Dorothy spend much of their time sleeping/dreaming. Both have a hard time separating what is actually a dream and what has really happened to them.
네오와 도로시는 모두 꿈나라에서 많은 시간을 보낸 때문에 한동안 꿈과 현실을 명확히 구분하지 못한다.

Both characters are captured by their enemies (Dorothy is captured by the Wicked Witch of the West and Neo is captured by the agents at his office building.) In addition, both are captured because they have something the other side wants---power. In Dorothy's cases, the wicked witch wants Dorothy's ruby slippers because of their magical powers. As for Neo, the agents want Neo to lead them to the Morpheus because he is their biggest threat.
두 주인공은 적에게 붙잡히는 경험을 한다. 도로시는 서쪽의 악한 마녀에게 붙잡히고 네오는 요원들에게 체포된다. 도로시는 요술 구두를 빼앗으려는 마녀에게. 네오는 모피어스를 체포하려는 요원들에게.

Both movies end similarly--both of the main characters wake up from a nightmarish reality (a dream state) to find a loved one beside them, wishing that they would wake up.
두 이야기의 결말도 비슷한 점이 있다. (목적을 가지고) 누군가를 찾기 위해서 악몽같은 꿈나라로 와서는 꿈이 끝나기를 바라고 그렇게 된다.

In their alternate realities, both Neo and Dorothy go on a trip to see a wise, powerful person who they believe will have all the answers. (Neo sees the Oracle and Dorothy sees The Oz.) Interestingly enough, both of them also find that the answers to their questions (as well as the power to succeed in their quests) lie within themselves. (Neo can change the matrix himself; Dorothy can go home on her own.)
네오와 도로시는 그들의 질문에 답해 줄 현명한 사람을 찾아 떠난다. 네오는 오라클을 찾아가고 도로시는 오즈의 마법사를 찾아간다. 그런데 두 주인공 모두 질문의 답이 자신에게 있고 목적을 이룰 능력도 자신에게 있었음을 발견하게 된다.

People go see Professor Marvel and The Oracle to have their fortunes read because they supposely have the ability to see into the future.



The world of the matrix is tinted in green (the color the code) and the Wicked Witch of the West is a hideous shade of green.
매트릭스 코드는 녹색이고 서쪽의 악한 마녀도 ... (이 부분을 번역하지 못했다)
In "The Matrix," Neo gets to see his friends (Morpheus, Trinity, Apoc, Switch, and Mouse) as well as his enemy, Cypher, in the real world as well as in the matrix. As for Dorothy, she sees her friends on the farm plus her mean neighbor in Kansas and Oz (her dream state). In both cases, all the characters that Neo and Dorothy have contact with appear physically changed when moved into the alternate reality.
네오가 만나는 사람들의 현실 모습과 가상세계 모습이 다르며, 도로시가 만나는 인물들의 모습도 현실과 오즈에서 각각 다르다.

Both Neo and Dorothy ask for directions in their dream states because they find themselves lost.
네오와 도로시 모두 원래의 상태와 집으로 돌아갈 길을 찾는다.

In both movies, issues concerning the heart, the mind, and the belief in yourself (courage) are preval‎ent.
두 작품에서 Heart, Mind, Belief 라는 주제가 공통적으로 중요성을 갖는다.

Towards the end of "The Wizard of Oz," the wicked witch plans on killing Dorothy's friends first (so Dorothy can watch them die). Fortunately, she is stopped before she can hurt any of them. (After all, this is a children's movie!)
악한 마녀는 그의 세 친구들을 먼저 죽이고 도로시까지 죽일 계획을 세운다. (물론 아무도 죽지 않는다. 동화니까)
As for "The Matrix," Cypher manages to kill several of Neo's allies (two of them in front of Neo) before he is stopped.
매트릭스에서 사이퍼는 네오의 동료를 죽이고 네오를 죽이려고 하지만 실패한다.

Both movies have a "miracle" occur in which a minor character is able to save the main character's life. In "The Matrix," it is when Tank shoots Cypher before he can unplug Neo. The "Wizard Of Oz" miracle occurs when Glinda the Good Witch causes it to snow so that Dorothy (who has been drugged by the Wicked Witch) will wake up.
조연인물이 주인공의 생명을 살려주는 공통점이 있다. 탱크가 결정적인 순간 사이퍼를 죽여서 네오를 살려주며, 착한 마녀 글린다가 눈을 내리게 하여 악한 마녀의 독에 걸린 도로시를 살려 준다.

In both movies, the main characters sleep in their alternate realities. (Neo sleeps in front of his computer and in his bed; Dorothy falls asleep in the poppy fields.)
네오는 컴퓨터 앞에서 잠이 들고 도로시 일행은 양귀비 꽃밭에서 잠이 든다. (양귀비 꽃밭에서 잠들어 깨어나지 않으면 영원히 잠들게 된다.역자)

In "The Wizard Of Oz," water plays a key role since it is the way in which Dorothy is able to kill the Wicked Witch Of the West. In "The Matrix," water is used throughout the movie--in fact, the code of the matrix looks like falling rain.
물이 도로시가 서쪽의 악한 마녀를 죽이는 요소인데, 매트릭스에서도 물은 거듭 되풀이되는 테마이다.

As noted above, the matrix world is tinted green. Well, in the original book, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum, there is a man at the gate leading into the Emerald City who calls himself the "Guardian of the Gate." His job includes locking a pair of green spectacles onto the eyes of anyone who wants to enter the city. When Dorothy questions why this is done, he replies, "Because if you did not wear spectacles the brightness and glory of the Emerald City would blind you. Even those who live in the City must wear spectacles night and day. They are all locked on, for Oz so ordered it when the City was first built, and I have the only key that will unlock them."
매트릭스 안의 세계가 녹색을 띄는 것은 주지의 사실이다. 오즈의 마법사에서 에머랄드 시티로 가는 길목에 있는 문지기는 안으로 들어가는 사람에게 녹색 안경을 주는 일을 하는데 도로시가 이유를 묻자 대답하기를 에머랄드 시티의 광채 때문에 눈이 멀수도 있기 때문에 에머랄드 시티에 살고 있는 사람들은 낮이나 밤이나 녹색 안경을 쓰고 있으며 모든 안경은 자물쇠로 잠겨 있는데 그걸 여는 열쇠는 자신만이 가지고 있다고 한다.

Once inside the Emerald City, Dorothy and her friends immediately notice that everything is green or had a green tint. As it states in the book, "The window panes were of green glass; even the sky above the City had a green tint, and rays of the sun were green. There were many people, men, women and childreen, walking about, and these were all dressed in greeen clothes and had greenish skins."
에머랄드 시티 안으로 들어가자 모든 것이 녹색이라는 것을 발견한다. 창문도 녹색이고 하늘도 녹색이고 햇빛도 녹색이고 사람들의 옷도 녹색이고 피부색도 녹색이다.

Later on, when Dorothy and her friends discover that the Great Oz is merely a balloonist from Omaha, he confesses that "Just to amuse myself, and keep the good people busy, I ordered them to build this City, and my Palace, and they did it all willingly and well. Then I thought, as the country was so green and beautiful, I would call it the Emerald City, and to make the name fit better I put green spectacles on all people, so everything they saw was green."
도로시가 마법사의 진실을 알고 나자 마법사가 고백하기를 자기 자신을 위해서 또 선량한 시민들에게 할 일을 주기 위해서 이 도시와 자신의 궁전을 짓도록 했으며 시민들은 기쁘게 했고 온나라가 녹색으로 아름다우니 에머랄드 시티라고 부르기로 했으며 명성을 유지하기 위해 녹색 안경을 쓰도록 했다는 것이다.
(KayJayKim: 실제 에메랄드 시티는 에머랄드 빛(녹색)이 아니다. 마법사가 모든 사람들에게 녹색 안경을 쓰도록 의무지웠기 때문에 모든 사람이 가진 착각인 것이다.)
