Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory have been well adapted into a movie by the same name by the competent director Tim Burton. The movie is targeted towards the kids and the young adults but is well watched by the adults too. Freddie Highmore stars as Charlie Bucket while Johnny Depp is Willy Wonka in the movie.
Charlie had a difficult childhood as he lived in abject poverty with his parents and four grand parents who are all bed ridden. They love each other very much but find it difficult to meet their living due to want of finances. The town in which they lived had a chocolate factory owned by the eccentric Willy Wonka. One day Willy announced that he has hidden five golden tickets inside the Wonka bars. The five lucky ones would get to see the chocolate factory and how it works and one lucky winner is supposed to get a special prize.
Charlie was really lucky as he found the fifth ticket in one of the Wonka bars. He chose his Grandpa Joe to be with him inside the factory. Joe used to work with the factory before it hit rough weather. So the four winners, Charlie and Grandpa Joe enter the factory for the journey of a lifetime.
Charlie was pretty well behaved throughout the tour but the same cannot be said of the other children. They were very naughty and the inevitable happened. Those four were politely shown the door by Willy and Charlie became the winner of the surprise prize - they keys to the chocolate factory. Initially Charlie refused the prize as he was not in favor of staying separate from his family. Wonka too understood how he himself has missed his family while he was too busy with the chocolate factory. He understood that Charlie is the right person to take care of the chocolate factory. On realizing this he allowed Charlie to bring his entire family inside the premises. So we get a wonderful story with a very happy ending.
The film is a must watch for all children. They will simply love the colorful and youthful look of the film. The director Tim Burton does a wonderful job with this film but the 2005 editions definitely a bit darker than the original flick. The puppet show at the start of the tour of the factory suddenly catches fire. This scene is a bit unnecessary. Secondly, kids might get frightened by the scary music and the vivid scenes depicting the children's exploits inside the factory.
Among the performances, the less said about Johnny Depp the better. Is he the same Johnny from the Pirates of the Caribbean series? His acting so pathetic that you may be tempted to think that he was not paid at all for this movie! Freddie Highmore as Charlie Bucket, however, proves a better actor than Depp, at least in this movie.
The film has some scenes which might be unsuitable for children but overall it will be good fun on a Sunday for the kids. They can the watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory online free on their PCs'. The music of the film is good but nothing to rave about. The film is far better than its 1971 version with Gene Wilder. The new version is much sleeker in production with better visual effects. - 30302
