Watching This Version Of 'The Wizard Of Oz' Will Make You Feel Like You're On Drugs

The Wizard of Oz needs no introduction as one of the most iconic and legendary films in the history of cinema. We've all seen it. However, you've never seen it re-edited into a fumbling, impossible to follow, useless creation with no story line what-so-ever: until now. Matt Bucy decided that watching The Wizard of Oz again wasn't going to be entertaining enough for viewers anymore, so he gave his own twist on things: he alphabetized every word spoken in the film and re-edited it in that order.

You might be asking yourself why he felt the need to do this? IDFK why, but Bucy did it, and it all starts with the word "a" and goes on from there.

He notes, aside from being an hour and 41 minutes and 47 seconds of your life you'll never get back, there's another important warning:

"WARNING: This film contains extremely fast editing, flashes of light, abrupt changes in image and sound."

So, don't watch this is you get nauseous, dizzy or have epilepsy or something. Do, however, watch this is you have nearly two hours of your life you don't mind doing the most mindless viewing activity of all time.

And, Bucy didn't short change potential audiences in his alphabetical aid: he takes all the way through, to the final word spoken starting with the letter z, "zipper."

Personally, the look on the Tin Man's face directly reflects my feelings toward this entire creation–"Huh?" Don't ask why this was created, but do realize that Bucy was indeed diligent in his efforts. Well done on that front, but otherwise, it's rather confusing why this needed to be done or who might choose to watch it.

If you're one of the select few who would like to see the entirety of this creation, it's available here via Bucy on Vimeo. Don't forget his WARNING, and proceed with caution.

In terms of the title of this alphabetical cinematic recreation, my personal response is simply:

"Oh, I see what you did there."
