The film “Wicked” (2024) is a cinematic adaptation of the famous musical of the same name. It tells the story of Elphaba Thropp (Cynthia Erivo), a young woman born with green skin, and Galinda Upland (Ariana Grande), a popular and privileged student. They meet at Shiz University, where they develop an unlikely friendship.
Over time, Elphaba discovers her magical powers and becomes aware of the injustices in the land of Oz, especially those committed against Animals who can speak. This awakening leads her to oppose the Wizard of Oz (Jeff Goldblum), while Galinda—who adopts the name Glinda—chooses a different path, putting their friendship to the test. The film explores themes of identity, friendship, and the fight against oppression.
