Charlie and The Chocolate Factory
September 3rd, 2005This movie is FUN!! A must watch show for chocolate lovers ^_^
Jonny Depp plays the role - Willy Wonka the chocolate factory owner very well! Don’t you just love him? He is such a great actor.
Besides that, Tim Burton did a marvellous job in creating the scenes of the factory. The chocolate river(!), candy trees(!!), mushmallow sheep(!!!), his new way of advertising chocolate(!!!!)…etc. I must salute to Roald Dahl (authur of the original book) and Tim Burton for their wild imagination. Thanks to them, I had a great time in the cinema.
Another fun part of the movie was the Oompa-Loompas (played by Deep Roy) working for Willy Wonka. They worship cocoa beans, work hard and love to sing! Very cute little men and funny lyrics. Also, the actor who played Dr. Wonka (Willy’s father) - Christopher Lee also played in LOTR trilogy as well as Star Wars Episode II and III. He’s pretty scarry to me. He has this face that suit him perfectly for roles like dark wizard, dark lord and strict dad lol~!! I wonder how he is like in real life…
Besides chocolates and funny stories, the movie carries an important message to parents. Nowdays many children take things for granted. They are hard to satisfy, keep wanting more. Blame who but their parents for spoil brats? Whereas Willy Wonka has a very strict dad. You cannot do this you cannot do that, which give rise to Willy’s weird character. He doesn’t like the idea of “parents” , he doesn’t like kids, he has no friends. Everyone is like an enemy to him. Willy Wonka was lonely until he met Charlie Bucket which taught him the meaning of family. Not just children and people like me, parents should watch this too.
By the way, not to forget, the GLASS LIFT(!!!!!) of the factory. Don’t you wish you have something like that too?
Imagine this, monday morning –> woke up late –> enter lift –> press button –> *DING!* next thing you know you’re at the door of your classroom. How cool is that?
Another scenario, you want to go to Australia –> *DING!* you’re standing next to a kangaroo.
You want to watch Charlie and The Chocolate Factory –> *DING!* you are in the cinema! Cool huh? hahahahhahahhaha

Well written review !!
You have got all I wanted to say about this movie like message to the parents, acting of Johnny Depp and Deep Roy, the 4′4″ little Indian.
