Who lives in the heart of Charlie who will never grow up

Today is my third full look at Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I didn't expect that the third time I saw it, I would burst into tears.

That being the case, let's start with the first look. I remember the first time I knew this story. In my memory, Peaches was still as young as Charlie, he had an older brother, and he taught him a lot of things when he was a kid. His brother brought him up like a teacher. In his eyes, his brother gave him a lot of things, including a square book, which is quite thin. The book was a comic strip with "Charlie and His Chocolate Kingdom" printed on the cover (please forgive me for not finding what that book looked like online at the time of writing). At that time, the Taozi's house was still an old house. At that time, his house was very small, like Charlie, with only two rooms. It was in the house that was used as both a kitchen and a storage room that he met the story for the first time, and that was how it began.



I remember when I read this story for the second time, Momoko was already in middle school. Can you guess where he came into contact with such a new and old fairy tale this time? That's right, it's still about his brother. That was the place he went to the most besides home and school when he was a child. That is his brother's house, or his uncle's house. One of the adults who had the greatest influence on his growth. In his heart, his uncle has always been so wise and powerful. His uncle has taught him a lot of life principles since he was a child. So his uncle's house is basically the second home he grew up with. Apart from his father and mother, his uncle, aunt, and grandmother were the most patriarchal people he saw when he was a child. That day, Taozi went to her uncle's house as usual. She had agreed to go home, but when she was about to go home, a movie was staged on TV, and that is today's protagonist "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". He remembered that the first time he saw the movie version of this fairy tale, he was really stunned, especially Mr. Wonka's shape turned out to be so cute. It's actually just a very ordinary scene, but it's an ancient past for this film and Peaches.



The story of Liu Shui taking away time and changing the family.

Now the peach has grown up, and his parents no longer live in the house that grew old with them. Although the house has not been demolished, it has rarely been entered, and some of the things displayed in the house are already rare in the world. As for the book, I don't know if I can still find it.

After all, running water is not rotten, and some things will not change.

Now his uncle doesn't live in the house where Taozi grew up. But Taozi still likes to go to his uncle's place and sit with his uncle. Every time on vacation, the second thing Taozi does when he comes home is to go to his uncle's house. There is no reason for this, it is already a part of his growing up.

He is now in his third year at Peach University. Because of a chance, he remembered such a movie, so he downloaded it and watched it again. It was also by accident that he got the stories you are watching now (perhaps in fact, you are just Peach, of course. Thank you peach, grow up with me).

**************************************************** ************************

Please forgive me for being so old, but come back and talk about movies.

After watching so many blockbusters, I found out that there are actually a lot of costumes in the film. But it's good to ignore these gangs. Mr. Wonka played by Johnny Depp is really good, but it always feels like the shadow of "Edward Scissorhands". Well, it's a person after all.

Charlie is a poor boy, but he has a good family. A good mother, a good father, two pairs of grandparents. That's what brought me to tears.

One of Charlie's grandfathers was a former employee of Mr. Wonka's factory, and he was also a very positive little old man. He took out the only pound he had and asked little Charlie to buy Wonka chocolates. Grandpa opened with him like a child, and later went to the factory with him.

Charlie also has a good father. There is a scene in the play. When one of Charlie's grandfathers said bad things, his father immediately covered Charlie's ears, and the soundtrack of the film was silent at this time. When his dad lost his job, his dad didn't tell him the bad news either. Later, when Charlie stepped on dog shit and won the lottery, when he needed someone to accompany him to the factory, when Grandpa wanted to go, Mom still wanted Dad to go. But Dad still respected the old man and asked Grandpa to accompany him. Dad played very well, and the hesitation and respect for Grandpa were very good. Although Charlie's father is a very ordinary father, he always guards Charlie by his side. The purpose of this role is to echo Mr. Wonka's father.

Then there is Mr Wonka. Mr Wonka's father is a dentist and he never let Wonka eat candy since he was a child. But when Wonka tasted the sweetness of candy, he went out of control and became a world candy tycoon. But his father's sternness still left a shadow in Wonka's heart, since he couldn't say the word "parents", and since he started to dislike family so much. In his eyes, he has experienced all kinds of misfortune. The father abandoned himself, and the candy recipe was stolen. The same is true, let him be like a child, in his own chocolate kingdom, guarding his toys like a child. Mr. Wonka often smiles wryly, which makes me feel the same. This reminds me of Jiang Wen's sentence in "One Step Away" last night, I was still a child. The tangle is really similar. (Buy the way, Mr. Wonka looks a bit like an old friend. Although she doesn't say it herself, she still looks like the one in my heart.)

Finally, let's talk about Charlie. Although little Charlie's family is not rich, little Charlie has never lacked love since he was a child. His grandparents, his parents gave him a warm home. Therefore, Charlie's personality is relatively sound and obedient, well-behaved, and considerate (except that he picked up the money and didn't give it to the police uncle, of course I don't think it's a big deal). Say two warm scenes. First, when Charlie came home after knowing that he had won the award, Charlie told his mother, I am not going, and an aunt was willing to pay 500 yuan to buy it. In contrast, I think our family still needs money. Little Charlie's kind of thoughtfulness reminded me of how caring I was at that time, even though my mother always used this sentence to compare my current ignorance. When I was young, my home was not much better than Charlie's. My mother said that I would always look at Charlie's eyes and be anxious, and asked her more than once: "Mom, what can we do if we don't have a face? We don't have oil at home. What should I do?" In the second act, when Mr Wonka said to let Charlie give up his family to get the factory, Charlie said, I will not give up my family for anything. Still very impressed.



But stories are stories. When the story ends, when I grow up, wonder if little Charlie grows up? Don't you know that little Charlie is still so sensible now? I wonder if the four little friends have recovered their original appearance?



(However, British dramas are British dramas, and there are still differences from American dramas, especially the contempt that the American father and son received in the drama, haha. However, British dramas have always been more rigorous in my eyes, not as crude as American dramas. .)
