I am considered a half fan of Tim. Since watching Big Fish, it has been my favorite movie, not to mention the innocence of "Edward Scissorhands", the sincerity of "Ed Wood", "Mars" The subversion of "People Play with the Earth" and the poetry of "Drop Head Valley" (laughs, I do think that Drift End Valley is very poetic). Genius, this word is different from talent. It can't be afforded by making a masterpiece. If Tim doesn't have a weirdness in his bones instead of weirdness, he has a personality and is not showing off, and he has a childlike innocence but does not forget to mock, and he will not. Are you being dubbed the title of a Hollywood genius? Starting from Big Fish, his original strong Gothic style has changed, and he has turned to the colorful fairy tale road development (although Corpse Bride has turned back again). Originally, I looked at the poster of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and thought he was this way. I played the color of fairy tales to the extreme this time, but after watching it, I found that this movie is not the original Gothic in which there is a warm feeling. Under the gorgeous colors, the characters are extremely thin and flat, which makes people unable to help but confuse. , The story may be simple, but it does not mean that the characters are also simple. Now that the world is colorful, why is it not full of happiness? Since it is a fairy tale.
Tim did give us a beautiful chocolate factory, with dwarfs, the purest chocolates, rooms made of candies, and devices that can transmit objects to the TV, but the richness that makes people shine Imagination did not appear. "It turns out that the story can be written like this", this feeling is gone. And until the end of the movie, the cutest characters are not Charlie, not Willy Wonka, not the other four kids who got the Golden Ticket and their parents, but the group of old people from Charlie's family. Charlie, as the protagonist of the story, is just a traditional good child who has been in charge of the family early. He is sensible and kind and knows how to support his family. He has a deep face that is not commensurate with his age; Willy Wonka is selfish and neurotic; the four children are four extremes, greedy. Eat spoiled, super conceited, postmodern (sweat, add a few more to shoot the seven deadly sins), from the moment they appear on the stage, we can guess their fate; and the adults inside, from The adults who accompanied the parents who went to the store to try to buy Charlie's Golden Ticket, and even the uncle who sold the candy, looked pale, inactive and face-faced. In the end, the only people who can make me know how to smile are those who "add up to 381 years old". It is also because of them that let this movie retain a warm feeling. Although it is still a familiar part of the bridge, the warmth of the family will never fade, but apart from the half-hour between the beginning and the end, can the cliché and formulaic plots in the middle satisfy the audience? At least I didn't.
It’s not like Tim’s movie. Although there are many places in it, he’s branded, but the mischievous smirk can’t be seen anymore. The charred dolls and the ridiculous dances of the dwarves all give me a malicious feeling. ,hate. Although there is understanding, trust, and grandpa's shining private money in the story, it does not convince me that this is a beautiful movie. After reading Big Fish's original work, I was amazed how Tim could make such an unremarkable novel so vivid and affectionate. I didn't have the chance to see the novel of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", but as a fairy tale, I don't think it is a successful adaptation. North America has been No. 1 at the box office for several weeks. How did it come about? I have no regrets that I have not been able to watch this movie in the IMAX theater, but for the sake of "The Nightmare Before Christmas", I can continue to look forward to the already released Corpse Bride, and wait for my disc version with peace of mind :)
