...“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” By Roald Dahl This Book is about a very poor boy called Charlie Bucket. He lives in a small broken down, two roomed wooden house with his family. His family consists of his four old grandparents that have not been out of bed in the last 20 years! His parents also live in the house. And finally there is little Charlie. Charlie is the luckiest little boy in whole world, he just doesn’t know it yet. It all started when the newspapers announced that Willy Wonka, the greatest chocolatier in the world, has hidden five golden tickets in five ordinary Wonka bars. They could be in any corner of the earth and under any chocolate rapper. These golden tickets let five children have a day in the factory, and the tour would be led by Willy Wonka himself. It sounded so extraordinary since no one is ever seen going in or out of the factory except for the chocolate. But little Charlie Bucket didn’t stand a chance, he only got one Wonka bar a year on his birthday. It was clear that anyone that had a shot of getting a golden ticket were the children that were eating chocolate everyday, but that theory was proven wrong. One day on his way back from school, little Charlie found 50 cents. Before he goes and tells anyone he goes and buys himself a chocolate bar. The first chocolate was so delicious he buys another one, but this time something extraordinary happens, as he goes to peal off the rapper, something inside catches his eye. It was a golden ticket...

..."Charlie & The Chocolate Factory" is pleasant to look at, but Johnny Depp gives the most awful act of his profession as the candy maker. Wilder reinvented Willy Wonka and the dim undertones of the book were lay elsewhere in an extra effortless to get to way for all. In the original, we don't see the kids and their parents leaving the factory. We don't know if they are alive, dead, or still strapped down in the dejuicing room. That is what made the original so astonishing. Tim Burton is an excellent director -- one of the best -- but he needs to spotlight on original work instead of these remakes. If he insists on the remakes, he needs to pick something rather less frightened than the best family movie ever finished. “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” is about a strange candy maker Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp) and Charlie. Charlie is a charitable boy from a poor family who lives in the shadow of Wonka's extraordinary factory. Long isolated from his own family, Wonka launches a worldwide contest to select an heir to his candy empire. Five of the fortunate children, counting Charlie, draw golden tickets from Wonka chocolate bars and win a guided expedition of the well-known candy-making facility. Dazzled by one remarkable picture following another, Charlie is drained into Wonka's unbelievable humanity in this surprising and endure story. Texture of the film’s scenery is shown the dull developed city surrounding as Wanka’s factory is excellent. The more or less colorless...

...his adventures inside the chocolate factory of Willy Wonka. One day Willy Wonka decided to allow five children to visit the factory. Each child will win a lifetime supply of chocolate after the factory tour. The children have to find one of the five golden tickets hidden inside the wrapping paper of random Wonka bars. Augustus Gloop (a boy who eats constantly), Veruca Salt (a girl who is spoiled), Violet Beauregarde (a girl who chews gum all day), Mike Teavee (a boy who is addicted to television), and Charlie Bucket win tickets and visit the factory. The factory is full of strange and fantastical rooms, including a chocolate-mixing room that looks like a huge garden, where everything is made of candy and there is a chocolate lake in the middle. The factory is staffed by small, pygmy-like men called Oompa-Loompas. "Accidents" happen while on the guided tour. Augustus falls in the chocolate lake. Violet, ignoring Wonka's advice, tries some of his three-course-dinner gum and swells up like a blueberry upon reaching the blueberry pie dessert. While In the nut-sorting room Veruca attempts to steal one squirrel herself – the squirrels deem her a 'bad nut' and throw her down the garbage chute. Mike tries to use the Television Chocolate machine –and ends up shrunken to about 6 inches high. Charlie, being the only child left and the one Wonka likes the most, wins the prize: he will one day take over the factory from Wonka, Wonka wanting to pass his factory on to someone else but wanting...

...and Chocolate Nice Cream bars, is expected to launch in the coming weeks. It is being kept off TV until Nestle feels sure that the product will be in ample supply, after running a heavyweight awareness campaign. It is understood that the activity has been ready to go for some time, but is now expected to roll out in November. The Wonka bars went on sale in August. They received negative press for having up to 555 calories per 100g, and for appearing to target children by using the word "scrumdiddlyumptious" in its launch material. At the time of the range’s launch, Tam Fry, a trustee of the National Obesity Forum, said that the high calorie content of the bars is "totally contrary" to what food manufacturers should be doing, which is lessening the amount of calories in chocolate products. "Wonka will excite children and children will eat this. It’s unforgivable," he maintained. The group said it made a mockery of Nestle’s involvement with the Government’s Responsibility Deal, which aims to reduce the nation’s calorie intake in its battle against obesity. Nestle insisted that the bars are meant to be shared and enjoyed as an "indulgent treat". In addition, the packs are labelled with signs stating "111 calories per 2 pieces". The confectionery giant rejected accusations that the bars are aimed at children, claiming the target audience for the new Wonka range is women aged between 25 and 34. A spokesman for Nestle said: "The consumer response to the Wonka launch...

For example in "Edward scissor hands" Kim's scene of dancing in the ice shavings of Edwards art went from romantic to a hurtful scene.

In Charlie and the chocolate factory the lighting technique was best used when Charlie had high hopes of finding the golden ticket in his birthday chocolate bar. The lighting technique went from a very twinkling scene to a droopy...

...Compare and Contrast Essay The 1971 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and 2005 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory were similar and different in many ways in terms of the characters, relation to one another, events and plot impacts, and the scenery. It is no surprise that there would have some similarities but more differences in the movie being that they were made 34 years apart. The characters, plot, scenery, and movie production can all attribute the changes in the film. There will be more weight on the differences than the similarities in both these films. In both films, Willy Wonka is without a doubt eccentric chocolatier who is seeking someone to take control of his chocolate factory. Willy Wonka maintains his nonchalant way when interacting with the children in both movies. The four children that were out of running for the major prize because of their greedy or careless actions were punished by the outcome of their actions and surprisingly when asked if the children will be alright Wonka answered without a care in the world. Wonka in both films maintained his eagerness to get through the tour. The films were focused on Wonka but 1971 film lacked one very important thing the 2005 did have and that was attention on his childhood. The 2005 film had several flashbacks about Wonka’s childhood which gave a better perspective on his character and why he acts the way he does. The1971 film just simply states that Willy Wonka is one of the best chocolatiers in the world...
