Willy Wonka and the
Chocolate Factory has to be one of the most interesting movies ever made.
Every time I watch this film, I am thoroughly intrigued by the humor, the
atmosphere, and the characters. Honestly, if anyone else besides Gene Wilder
played Willy Wonka then I really don’t think the film would be near as
successful or entertaining as it is. Wilder’s condescending humor is absolutely
fantastic and perfectly timed through out the movie. Wonka’s unenthusiastic
line after Augustus falls into the chocolate river “Help, police. Murder” makes
me laugh every single time. It had been awhile since I saw the film so I
honestly forgot how hilarious the movie was until we watched it. I really enjoy
watching all of the sets come to life in this film as well. The best scene in
the film is when they explore and taste all of the candy by the chocolate river
because you really feel like you can taste everything the characters taste. The
film has a genius way to provide a message to children about parental respect, humbleness,
and bad habits. Each character is easily defined with a great visual
representation of their bad habits from Augustus Gloops obesity, to Veruca’s fancy
fur coat attire, to Charlie’s simple sweater/jeans combo. Both Charlie and
Grandpa Joe have great on-screen chemistry that helps give the perfect amount
of heart to the film perfectly portrayed in the “I’ve Got a Golden Ticket”
dance number. Like I said, Willy Wonka
and the Chocolate Factory is a very intriguing film from it’s unique humor,
wonderful atmosphere, and entertaining characters.
