An Undeniable Lust

This movie is a classic and it probably always will be, and Johnny Depp will never be able to take the place of Gene Wilder. The story is absolute madness and it is funny to think about someone ever thinking about this. Like, who would think "You know what would make a good movie? A man obsessed with chocolate who is willing to give away all he has to a poor child if he completes a tour through his factory." I can't imagine someone sane thinking this up, but none the less, it made a very good movie.
The movie teaches an essential life lesson, be a good child and obey the rules and good things will come to you. It tells children not to be brats, or disobedient, or gluttonous. It also tells that in the end, all that matters is the relationships you build with the people around you. And all of these life lessons are taught in a mad house, shown explicitly in the tunnel scene.
I find this film to be good, but over hyped. I honestly don't think it is quite as good as everyone says it is, but t is still worth watching. It was one of the movies that most people view as a child and I think that it will be a timeless classic shown through generations.

This scene still scares me a little though.....

  1. Did you know that Roald Dahl wrote this story? He also wrote Fantastic Mr. Fox, Matilda, James and the Giant Peach, The BFG, and other wacko books, which sometimes are hard to believe are written for children, because they are slightly insane-and yet wonderful. Extra side note: I noticed you were labeling your posts with your name and the movie title. If you want to replace the movie titles with the word "Japan" or "Food", it will be easier to count at the end of the semester. :)
