good boy, stand aside

A fairy tale for adults, the Count of Monte Cristo for children (haha)
, I enjoyed watching this movie on a sleepless night recently.
The imagery, needless to say, is stunningly beautiful, so refined that it makes people feel that the director has a gorgeous obsessive-compulsive disorder. Whether it's the dark, evil gothic style of the real world where Charlie's house is located, or the beautiful scenes in the chocolate factory, such as chocolate fountains, lakes, transparent elevators, and dancing little people, there is a kind of beauty to Evil feeling.
The actor, Johnny Depp, the guy, rarely shaves so cleanly that he doesn't even appear to be him. His acting skills are so perverted that the smile on his face is not a smile, and the evil smile is simply outrageous.
The plot arrangement, giving the so-called "good" children a spicy ridicule, can be described as the four deadly sins of children and parents.
Greedy and delicious, competitive, hypocritical and domineering, conceited and indifferent
like father like son.
I remember a scene in the movie. Someone asked Wally Wanka why a parent must accompany the selected child to visit the chocolate factory. Wally smiled evilly and did not answer. Because children are actually the epitome of adults, grown-up people can pretend to be ever-changing in front of outsiders, but they cannot escape the copy-machine-like learning ability of children.

The gluttonous child, stuck in the middle of the chocolate pipe, insulted the public. The mother of the child is a butcher who indulges the child's lust, so, you are what you eat, both the child and the mother are greedy. The first choice of heir to be eliminated from the factory. As the first one, in fact, the author and the director gave them the lightest punishment. It is understandable that gluttony is just one of the natures of every child, and the mother, as a working people, did not realize the mistake of greed. Innocent and excusable.

The competitive child turned into a giant blueberry for a moment and rolled out in disgust. The good show has begun. This kid is a champion of Sanda (or Taekwondo, etc.), and even chewing gum is going to be the world's No. 1. As you can imagine, the parents are even more wonderful, and the mother is a champion holic, no wonder. At the end of the film, the child changed from a big ball-like blueberry back to a normal body shape, but the blue color on his face did not fade away, and the mother beside him looked disgusted, hehe. However, this is still not the heaviest punishment, and it is still nothing more than ignorance.

The domineering child actually wanted to snatch the squirrels working in the factory, but was thrown into the garbage pit by the squirrels. Such a child must have an infinitely doting and selfish and cold-blooded parent. Her father is a rich factory owner who tries to buy everything in the way of a businessman to satisfy his daughter's bottomless wish list. When he asked Wally how much is the squerral, he could imagine the disgusting twitching smile on Jonny's face, and his heart was filled with disgust. In the end, Dad was thrown into the trash too. Well, the parents are also punished together. Yes, this is not entirely the fault of the society, the fault of the child, nor the fault of ignorance. A business owner, rich A powerful mature man, who is to blame for his child's education as shit?

In the end, the selfish and indifferent children of science experts are the worst, they are pulled into pieces of paper and cannot be recovered. This is the heaviest punishment. Why, the child's father is a geography teacher who is knowledgeable and memorized. He has inherited his son's good brain, but the child lacks a heart, has no sympathy, and has no patience. In fact, it is even more terrible.

In the end, of course, everyone is happy, and there is no suspense. But presumably good children are not comfortable watching this film, so, stand aside~

    It's a bit disappointing, maybe because of the expectation, but I really like Wang Ka's hairstyle, and I like Johnny Depp more and more with his pale face and very feminine mouth (hehe~). 20071223 with Xiao Fang // The opening film thinks of the hairdresser Todd, including the weird puppets, which are all unique Bolton styles. Depp's acting skills and beauty are underestimated in this era! ! ! Hahaha ~ 2001 and Horror on TV, I didn't know it back then~ I didn't feel much when I watched it for the first time. Today I still feel a little touched, and I am really old. Also, after knowing it, I would like to thank the director for his outstanding contributions to my dreams over the years. 20210115 Two-brush Samsung to four-star

    After watching it, it felt like an educational film for children. Except for Charlie, the four children have different bad habits. There are dwarves singing and dancing to sing the mistakes of the children, which has a great warning effect on the children, and the protagonist Charlie went to the end without any suspense.
