Well, the Wizard of Oz is like the distant voice that Dorothy and all her fellow friends listen to. And there's a "bad guy" - the witch, who I guess is some kind of evil force in relevance to a worldview. But don't they find out at the end of the movie that the "Wizard of Oz" is in fact a pathetic little man that speaks through a microphone? So whatever this worldview is has either realized there is no God, or at least proclaimed that people are being mislead in life when listening to some kind of supernatural force.
BUUUTTt, Oz is also a magical land that Dorothy... OH... okay, Dorothy dreams up this place of "Oz", so maybe the movie is putting across that there really is no supernatural world, but that people just dream it up.
OR it could be postmodern in saying that for Dorothy, this supernatural world with "the Oz" is true for her, but not necessarily true for anyone else.
But whatever the case, she has the infamous yellow brick road as a guiding pathway in order to find the all-powerful Oz.
I'll stick with postmodern. Maybe.
