This movie is symbolically about MK ultra mind control...
Interesting write up about that here.

So true and so messed up. Is this real life?
shareIt's a good interpretation, and totally functional, but it's not the creative intent behind the movie.
What we see and what we seem are but a dream. A dream within a dream.share
it's certainly odd how apt that explanation is.
I remember seeing this for the first time when I was, like, seven. I pretty much just thought "what the hell is this?" I mean it was entertaining, but it was so damn weird. it had all the trappings of a kid's movie of the era, and it looked really cool, but had this weird dark vibe that I couldn't decide if I thought was cool or not. like, weird in a way where its details added up to this wholly novel, chilly, and somehow abusive feel that wasn't like anything else I'd ever seen.
I mean, a little girl being given electroshock therapy by a couple of creepy old-time doctor types, that's some dark sht.
something truly was going on in the eighties that enabled the production of all these great movies, seriously. I don't know what it was. I like to think that it was when executive producers were willing to take a chance on new ideas. and the industry had only just grew into the monster it is today, and was before it had become too conservative (for whatever reason). I mean most of the "reboots" you see now were made in the 70s to the 90s.
Before Dorothy leaves for the ward, she finds a key with the symbol for Oz. It represents the key to her core personality - her true self. Once she arrived to the ward, we see the Dr. Worley holding the key. This represents him taking over her psyche and becoming her MK handler.
