"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is the long-awaited film, adapted from the novel of the same name by Roald Dahl, who was fascinated as a child, and the classic combination of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, how can it not be maddening! So from the release of the spring trailer, we waited until it was officially released in July, finally fulfilling our long-cherished wish. In the meantime, the excitement was like waiting for the release of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" in July.

Living in a crumbling small house, Charlie, a little boy who can only drink cabbage soup every day, realizes the new Cinderella legend, finds a golden ticket pass in the chocolate, and obtains the qualification to visit the chocolate factory of the weird Willy Wonka. Fortunately, he is also qualified. There are some weird children, spoiled daughters, champion women who fight for the first place in everything, pig-headed men with chocolate, and TV men with serious violent tendencies. Wonka, played by Depp, is a classic weird, full of imagination, neurotic, loves chocolate but also has childhood trauma, appearance is classic pale and gorgeous.

The scene in the chocolate factory is the dream of all children, everything is made of chocolate! Everything can be eaten! On the way to the factory, Charlie and the others met the little black oompa-loompas who admired the cocoa and worked in the factory. Their carnival singing and dancing made the whole film look very musical. There are many classic scenes in the film that I dreamed of seeing in front of my eyes when I was reading a novel, such as chocolate waterfall, chewing gum for three meals, cute squirrels that can peel whole nuts, glass elevators extending in all directions...I I feel that I should be grateful to the media such as movies for turning dreams into at least visible reality. When I think of seeing the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter before, I especially hope that small details can be realized in front of my eyes, such as the cute Hobbit’s cabin. , The magnificent palace built by the dwarves, the symbol of Ron’s house, the clock that everyone is doing, the Quidditch game...Fall back, in the end, after experiencing the wonderful chocolate factory knockout, the only remaining Charlie was qualified to inherit the factory. , But he refused this irresistible offer for the family! In the end, of course, it was Charlie who helped Wonka overcome his childhood demons and let him understand that family is the most important thing, and then everyone lived a happy life together. In short, the end of the fairy tale must be everyone living a happy life, even the fairy tale of Roald Dahl with a little black humor.

Although it is a warm and whimsical fairy tale plot, because it is a Burton film, many scenes still retain a lot of gothic colors. For example, the Charlie family’s hut leaning in the heavy snow, the gray industrial city feel, the warm white smoke from the factory chimney, Wonka’s very metallic and perverse childhood appearance and the teacher-director dentist dad, and The meticulous hair and 19th-century style clothes of adult Willy Wonka. Depp's appearance finally changed from the stubborn stubble face of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to a pale face that was as clean as a hobby, which was in line with Wonka's neurotic characteristics.

Burton's films, whether it is the warm and grotesque love story like Edward Scissorhands, or the dark Gothic like "Driftwood", or the imaginative like "Big Fish", always have the same style as his logo. Indescribable, black, romantic, and imaginative. I guess he should have been closed in childhood, so he created a splendid private world. The world he created hovered abundance on the gray background and continued to all his later. work. In September, there is his new work "Corpse Bride". The animation film has his style of sharp face and dark eye circles. His world should be in the 18th and 19th centuries. When Dorian Gray's portrait was getting old, it was wrapped There was a clear desire under the tight moral cloak, and a colorful carousel was suddenly seen on the corner of the gray foggy street. His film should also be performed by Depp. A man with black eyes, thin cheeks and bright lip lines has a strange sexy. This fragile and neurotic sexy is especially easy to make women maternally prone, so they inexplicably fall into him. In their movies, the tilted beauty makes people unable to extricate themselves from the strange circle.
