I remember reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory sometime during my primary school years, along with The Great Glass Elevator, both by Roald Dahl, and I loved them. I loved the illustrations, the engaging story and the likable characters.
Charlie Bucket is a kid many would be able to relate to, or at least want to be able to. He's innocent, loyal, and mature, perfect in almost every way. Frankly I don't know if my impression of Charlie has been polluted by the movie I just watched. Haven't read the book for ages, although it was a regular feature beside my toilet bowl, together with several Archie comics and Enid Blyton's books.
Anyway, what I started out wanting to say was that, the movie adapation of Charlieand the Chocolate Factory strikes me as being rather, morbid. Johnny Depp played Willy Wonka not as the eccentric old man he was in the book, but a disturbed young man(okay so he had a strand of white hair) who had problems with his family. He was portrayed as having a sinister, sadistic side. A couple of scenes in the movie were uncomfortably un-kiddish. Burning puppets with their eyeballs melting out of their sockets and skin that disintergrated into liquid wax were a little disturbing, and that was only roughly ten minutes into the movie.
How Willy Wonka seemed to intentionally allow certain characters in the story to fall into mishap was, sadistic. The glean in his eyes, and the way he cocked his head in a you-deserve-whatever-you-got fashion gave the movie a darkness that I feel shouldn't be present in a movie catering to kids. Can't they make movies that are innocent, and fun? Nothing more? Think abt Shrek. The jokes had an adult slant, sexual jokes. And I remember exploding frogs, or something. Morbid.
But now that I think about it. The cartoons of our childhood were filled with violence as well. Anvils dropping on coyotes, cats getting blown up. Hrms. It just seems that things are getting worse. Anyway I gotta go.
I miss you guys!
Watch the movie. Read the book. I rather Charlie than Harry, any day. =D Jun's gonna kill me =)
