30 Wild Theories That Completely Change These Classic Movies

Over the many years since it was first released, there have been many theories surrounding 1939's classic adventure flick The Wizard of Oz. Some have claimed that the movie is a parable for a variety of themes such as feminism and populism. Arguably one of the wildest theories though revolves around Dorothy's life in Kansas. Apparently, the female protagonist is supposed to be the Wicked Witch of the East in Oz because her farmhouse crushed her at the beginning of the novel...

One of the most heavily debated parts of Pulp Fiction is undoubtedly the golden briefcase. When Vince Vega opens it up and stares at it in awe, the viewer is dying to know what's inside. Some have speculated that whatever it is might be the soul of the crime lord in the movie, Marcellus Wallace. However, Quentin Tarantino has often debunked any wild theories, simply suggesting that the case is a McGuffin that drives the plot along.

It's impossible not to stare in awe at the prehistoric wonders in Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park. But there is a theory out there that makes the original movie extremely disturbing. In short, the theory suggests that the "dinosaurs" that we see in the movie are not brought to life with dinosaur DNA. In fact, they are actually an amalgamation of different animals, with the end result being what humans believe would look, sound and act like a dinosaur. Pretty freaky stuff.

Many fans of Ferris Bueller's Day Off have suspected that his sidekick Cameron may have actually been the main character of the movie. In a similar twist to Fight Club, Ferris is actually an imagination constructed by Cameron due to the possibility that he has multiple personality disorder. This would ultimately explain some of the stranger things that happen in the movie, most notably - the parade. At the end of the movie, Cameron finally realizes he no longer needs his alter-ego in his life.

While his origins aren't exactly spelled out in the movie, one person theorized that The Dark Knight's Joker might have military roots. Not only could it be that the Joker's insane behavior is a bi-product of PTSD, but the villain has all sorts of surprising skills that soldiers are often equipped with. Not only is he capable of holding up a fight with Batman, but he is extremely calculated when it comes to planning huge operations like bank heists.
