      The pros and cons of love

      It feels great to see the end, the theme of the film is sublimated, and it is shown with the main theme of family love. Charlie did not abandon his family and loved ones because of the favourable conditions offered by Willy Wonka. At first, Willy Wonka didn't want to understand, but in the end, with the help of Charlie, he found his family and restored the strangeness between him and his father. Love returns. Sometimes love is not the complete control of yourself you imagine, but because you...

      Writing a long review again?

      A very, very fantastic movie. The tones of the film are rather strange, sometimes very cool, gloomy days, and sometimes highly saturated and very vivid. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a dark fairy tale. It's a little weird, and it looks a little scary. I'm scared of Willie laughing with weird teeth. (His father is a dentist, so his teeth are very straight and very white. But he was not allowed to eat candy since he was a child, so he made candy as a dream?) A lot of things in...

      "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" The most beautiful work of that era

      If it were in the 20th century, this movie would reflect human greed from a child.

      But if you watch this movie in the 21st century, you will find that children show all kinds of personalities and human natures. In fact, children themselves also represent these.

      Today's children have lost their innocence, they no longer have the kind of love and care they have for their relatives, and they only focus on themselves. Because of dependence, greed, and lack of imagination, children...

      Sweet candy is good without a reason

      I'm thinking about what a good movie should be like,
      yes, he should keep a close eye on it, he should be full of twists and turns, from the director to the actors, from the angle of each shot, the lighting to the dialogue cues and music, from the Every suspense to pave the way, we should let us read and analyze and analyze.
      However, if a film, you can abandon those thoughts that you want to dig hard, and use every secret in big words and those simple ones. The lyrics express that all...

      nice picture

      Starring Johnny Depp and Freddie Highmore. The director is Tim Burton, and this is another successful collaboration between him and Johnny Depp after Edward Scissorhands: a blockbuster children's film.
       
      I'm past my age, so the plot of this film seems childish to me. But the American imagination is truly beyond our reach. The visuals and the choreography of the song and dance are all very good. Johnny Depp has always played a character that is quite unique and a little weird. Freddie...

      The first half was too good to be true...especially when the family said we're 381 years old together. Money and this kind of stuff are always being printed....Breaking tears as much as Les Miserables>

      The film made for children, rich imagination, fable-like plot, the performance of the protagonist boy and the emotional foreshadowing are not enough to promote the later development of the plot, it feels very blunt. Also, there are too many instructive clips, which are a bit repetitive and boring. . . Three stars are for imagination. ....

    Behind the scenes gags

    Johnny Depp said that his inspiration for Willie Wonka came from the host of TV game shows and children's shows. He also said in the interview that this character should be "partly like Howard Hughes (the "flyer"), partly like a gorgeous rock star of the 70s."
    In order to film the scene of the raid on Veruka Salt, the crew trained 40 squirrels.
    Many chocolate trees and chocolate flowers in the film are produced by Choccywoccydoodah, a...

    The fantasy paradise of ghosts and talents

    This is Bolton’s first movie made for children, but letting him give up the black absurdity is as impossible as letting him give up his surname. The chocolate palace that Wonka built for the Indian prince melted under the scorching sun, the "various insect porridge" that he ate when he first saw the dwarf, the squirrel treats the little girl as a bad walnut, and so on. It satisfies the curiosity of children. For adult audiences, it is...

    Depp's wonderful performance

    In addition to Depp using some unconventional actions and expressions to show Wonka's loneliness and incompetence, Wonka's stunned expression touched the wounds of childhood several times in the film, and Wonka's stunned expression made people see the characters' inner desire and loss. Although many film critics gave Depp's performance "strange", every time Depp creates characters, he strives to be different and unique. This time, this...

    • Willy Wonka: The best kind of prize is a *sur*prise!

    • Willy Wonka: Let's go put him in the taffy puller!

      Mr. Teavee: [horrified] Taffy puller?

      Willy Wonka: Hey, that was my idea!

    • Veruca Salt: Daddy, I want a squirrel. Get me one of those squirrels, I want one!

      Mr. Salt: Veruca dear, you have many marvelous pets.

      Veruca Salt: All I've got at home is one pony and two dogs and four cats and six bunny rabbits and two parakeets and three canaries and a green parrot and a turtle, and a silly old hamster! I WANT a SQUIRREL!

      Mr. Salt: All right, pet. Daddy'll get you a squirrel just as soon as he possibly can.

      Veruca Salt: But I don't want any old squirrel! I want a *trained* squirrel!

      Mr. Salt: [wearily] Very well. Mr. Wonka? How much do you want for one of these squirrels? Name your price.

      Willy Wonka: Oh they're not for sale. She can't have one.

      Veruca Salt: Daddy!

      Willy Wonka: [imitating Mr. Salt] I'm sorry, darling. Mr. Wonka's being unreasonable.
