Director‘s Statement:
The film is based on the 1939 MGM film The Wizard of Oz, starring Judy Garland. Judy and her character Dorothy are embedded in the history of sexual minorities. By playing a world-class gay icon from the West and combining my own life experience, I tried to trace the identity construction of the queer community in China. Perhaps in China, the discussion of gender is mostly written and spoken through Western discourse, transcoded through the transcoding of the translation and Lip Sync into a rainbow dream suspended over the head of every (probably just urban) queer person. Songs from the West provide a proud identity paradigm , but like Dorothy from Kansas belting out the dislocation and chaos of Sichuan folk songs, the "local" and "local" always imply confrontation and running-in. When the words of the East and the West are difficult to speak about themselves, it is better to sing, as Liu Sanjie sang: Folk songs are like spring rivers, not afraid of beaches and dangerous bays. And the dreams that you dare to dream, Really do come true. And the dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true. Perhaps for Dorothy, the meaning of the rainbow, which disappears and disappears, is never to arrive, but to never stop running.

用在地的方式试图追寻中国本土酷儿群体的身份建构,呈现中国性少数群体奔跑的身影。也许正如导演所说:“可能对于桃乐丝来说,那一弯时隐时现的彩虹,它的意义从不在于抵达,而在于永不停止地奔跑。”

惊喜地看到,四川民歌的嫁接、角色的反串、译制片味道的配音演出、童话作品的新解都并不止步于猎奇和讨巧。但愿这片土地上所有的边缘人士,都能穿上属于自己的红宝石鞋,在现实“绿野”里由着念想奔跑,不再迷途。
