After reading the English original, I watched the movie version of johnny depp. Like finding the difference, I recorded some of the differences between the two that I am impressed by, the most important of which is the character building, especially the chocolate factory owner Willy Wonka.
The film version added willy wonka's childhood memories through Charlie's questions. He had a very strict dental father since he was a child, and his father did not allow him to eat any chocolate, candy, etc. But Willy loved chocolate so much that he decided to run away from home and start his own chocolate career, never seeing his father again. This led to a knot in his heart. He couldn't say the word "parent". He didn't believe in the family. The lack of fatherly love also makes Willy have some social disorders. In the movie, he couldn't speak clearly, and he needed to read a small piece of paper to make a tour guide for children and parents. Mood is also a little unstable. When he was about to hand over the factory to Charlie, he was not allowed to bring his family to the factory. Finally, with the help of Charlie, he truly understood his father's care and love for him, untied the knot in his heart, and allowed Charlie's family to live in the factory. factory.
These are not found in the original book. Willy's eloquence is very good in the original book. He is very polite when meeting children, and uses various words to express his happiness when he sees each child. The ending is also very happy to go with Charlie to pick up the family and live in the chocolate factory. Personally, I think this change in the movie version increases the drama and fullness of the movie, making the movie suitable for all ages. Even as adults, when we see the film version, we will reflect on whether we have ever misunderstood our parents' good intentions because of their problems with their expressions.
Secondly, the movie version's "bad" presentation of the other four children is more exaggerated. In the original book, the ticket said that after visiting the factory, everyone who won the prize will receive candy and chocolate that will never be eaten in a lifetime, and there is no mention of a special prize. And the prize in the movie can only be won by one person. This leads to a "bad" competitive atmosphere among the children, and their "badness" is exaggerated. The original is relatively mild, and even when I read it, I didn't hate any of the children.
In addition to the differences in characterization, here are some differences that I think are important and meaningful (maybe some of you have seen them in other posts):
1.
In the original book, Dad's job is to screw caps on toothpaste in a toothpaste factory;
It was added in the movie that Dad would bring home the toothpaste caps of crooked melons and cracked dates to Charlie, who used them to make a model of a white chocolate factory. This episode shows Charlie's ingenious side, Dad and Charlie are very cute. Charlie dreams of a chocolate factory from the bottom of his heart.
2.
The original only mentioned that grandpa joe knew the chocolate factory very well;
In the movie, it is said that joe worked for a chocolate factory and met willy himself.
3.
In the original book, Charlie wanted to share a birthday present - chocolate with his family, but the family rejected Charlie's kindness;
In the movie, the family accepts it, and everyone gets a small piece and eats it together. It's a very loving scene.
4.
In the original book, Dad lost his job because the toothpaste factory went bankrupt.
In the movie, Dad lost his job because of the mechanization of the toothpaste factory in the Industrial Revolution. Later, he returned to the toothpaste factory as a mechanical repairer.
5.
In the original book, before Charlie found the money, the family was already very hungry and cold, because Dad suddenly stopped working. Charlie was very, very hungry. After accidentally picking up the money, Charlie had a look around and thought that it was money that no one wanted and that it was dirty, so he decided to use the money to buy chocolate.
The film did not reflect the level of embarrassment that Charlie was at at that time, which made some netizens question why he didn't pick up money. Pick up the money and immediately go to buy chocolate. If it was me, if I was so hungry, I would have put it in my pocket.
6.
In the original book, Charlie used scissors money to buy a second piece of chocolate before winning the prize;
In the movie, Charlie hit the first one he bought, so lucky.
7.
After Charlie won the lottery in the original book, he ran home to share it with his family, and the whole family quickly made a decision to let Joe and Charlie participate together.
In the movie, Charlie refused at first. He wanted to exchange money to support the family to tide over the difficulties, but the family persuaded him, saying that money is everywhere in the world, but there are only 5 opportunities to participate in the chocolate factory. The family's view of money is very correct! ! ! This price view applies to all of us!
8.
Mike in the original is just addicted to watching TV and has a lot of toy guns on his body;
The mike in the movie has become a little devil who loves shooting games and has a tendency to violence. As with the Industrial Revolution setting, this lends the film a little more realism.
9.
Many international cultural elements have been added to the film, such as the scenes of Morocco and Japan grabbing chocolate, and the scenes of Violet playing taekwondo, etc., which enrich the film.
above!
Don't you think the dwarfs look a lot like the Minions? They are just like talking screws in factories in modern society. They do not need to pay wages, and they work hard without complaint. They also have a very good relationship with the boss, and their loyalty is 100 points!
But the little yellow man is just too cute! The dwarfs in the movie are really scary.
