The movie, Wicked Part 1, was an interesting musical, but many things were changed. It is what I expected. Hollywood always changes movies based on novels. It seemed different from what I read in the novel about the story. For one thing, Alphaba’s mother was white and vain in the novel, but she is black in this movie. Alphaba’s sister didn’t have arms in the novel, and she had a nanny with her; in the movie, Alphaba’s sister is in a wheelchair and by herself. But her stepfather or her mother’s husband already gives her the magic shoes. In the movie, Alphaba’s sister was very white in the novel, similar to Galinda and the rest of the students. But in the movie, Alphaba’s sister looks Latina, and the school looks multiracial.
