Everyone grows up with their favorite childhood movies. Whether born in the 1970s or the 2000s, you were able to enjoy Roald Dahl’s, Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. Dahl originally wrote the book in 1964, which sold over twenty million copies worldwide. With such huge success with his book he wrote the 1971 screenplay as well. The 1971 screenplay was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, as it focused more on the Charlie’s life than Willy Wonka, but the film used Willy Wonka for the title because Quaker Oats was financing the movie and wanted to release their Wonka bars at the same time as the movie (Paur). Shortly after the 1971 film was released, Dahl revised his book and re-released it. Unfortunately, Dahl was unable to see the creation …show more content…
“In 1971 there were not as many special effects which forced them to make things from scratch, making the factory much more authentic and beautiful” (Tauchert). But because of the lack of special effects there were a few negative side effects to the things that were used in the movie. The “Wonka Wash” scene needed some type of thick soap like substance to spurt out of the machine. The foam they used was from basic fire extinguishers, which they later discovered was a potent skin irritant. After shooting the scene the actors required several days of medical treatment to recover from their puffy skin irritation. Not only did they have issues with this scene but Denise Nickerson, the girl who played Violet, had blue pigment in her pores from the makeup they used several days after they filmed the blueberry scene. They decided against using fake chocolate for the river and actually created a chocolate river made of chocolate, water, and cream, that unfortunately after a few days smelled awful. (Paur) Overall the lack of special effects caused a few issues for the movie, but luckily did not have long term effects on the …show more content…
He wanted the film to be an authentic candy world, that if you watched the film you would smell the smells of candy and taste the delicious flavors on your tongue that were being displayed on the screen Like the 1971 film, they also made a real chocolate river but unlike the 1971 film the chocolate was thick like real melted chocolate instead of a water mixture. The film also used real lollipops in the trees, giant pink sugar canes and also had real giant humbugs. Unlike the original movie, Veruca Salt wanted a squirrel instead of a golden egg. In this scene forty squirrels were trained to crack nuts and pounce on Veruca. (Trivia) To continue to ensure authenticity,“In the same room, as the machine that makes the ‘three-course meal gum, there are large rotating drums that look like bowls filled with colored balls. These are real machines, that make large jawbreakers, or Gobstoppers, which are sold under the Willy Wonka brand” (Trivia). Burton takes it a step further and makes sure that a lot of the trees and flowers featured in the movie were candy, they were created by a chocolate shop called Choccywoccydoodah which is in Brighton, England. It does not end there, the pink viking inspired row boat was also made of candy and took over twenty weeks to build and get to float on the chocolate river. As hard as they tried there were a few things that
Retailers are highly selective as to the products they carry and consumers have many choices in the candy isle. We find that emphasizing high sell-through and attractive profit margins to the trade and high quality at an attractive value to the consumer is a winning strategy. Our diverse and highly recognizable brand portfolio remains popular across all trade channels. We have a range of offerings suitable for virtually every major consumer group. Our product line undergoes continual refinement in order to retain its appeal to ever-evolving preferences and life styles. The candy marketplace is highly competitive and we are vigilant in keeping our products contemporary even as they remain iconic. Halloween has long been our largest selling period with third quarter sales nearly double those of any other quarter in the year. We posted strong results in all major trade classes including grocery, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, dollar stores and drug chains. Especially popular at Halloween are our large bags of Child’s Play and other mixed candy assortments, which are offered in a variety of merchandising presentations. Our bagged goods have traditionally been limited to “lay down” format that is commonly found on retailer’s shelves. In addition to “lay down” bags, in 2009 we introduced a number of packs in a “vertical” format. These gusseted bags really
Imagine the many dangers of being stranded on a desolate island. There is a chance of starvation, severe sunburn or sicknesses, and strange animals. The idea of being a danger to yourself does not usually cross a person's mind when thinking about this unimaginable situation. Being in such horrible conditions would make anyone start to go a little crazy, especially if they were young and immature. The little boys in Lord of The Flies show the true nature in humanity when times become desperate and cut throat. The main topic of this essay is to focus on similarities and differences of how two groups of boys, Piggy & Ralph and Jack & Roger, behave when they become stranded on an island and how they act to survive.
He retells the story in a theme he has to write for English class which turns out to be the book. (Hinton) The movie is an
“May I never wake up from the American dream.” Carrie Latet describes the most sought after dream: the dream of a house surrounded by a white picket fence, the dream people work their entire lives for, the dream people fight wars for: the American dream. However, America’s rise to industrialism in the 19th and 20th centuries replaced this dream with the desire to get rich fast. This change led people to believe that it is possible, common even, to obtain wealth rapidly; yet this is not the case. Sometimes, when an individual is unable to acquire such extreme wealth, he create a sense of false reality for himself, his common sense is blurred, and he sees opportunities where there are none. Characters Walter Lee Younger and Willy Loman are
The book Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, and the movie Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory are same and different. Unlike the book, the movie had Willy Wonka wearing a brown top hat. Similar to the book in the movie Willy Wonka wore a purple coat. In the book Charlie was in elementary school similar to the movie. Also, in the movie he goes into the candy shop and in the book he doesn’t. Since the family didn’t have very much money do they only had one bed. Also, in the book the dad was alive and he wasn’t in the movie.
Forrest Gump’s quote about life being a box of chocolates is well known around the world; however, one when analyzes this, it unlocks an understanding of the film, and to a degree life as well. Almost everyone has eaten a box of chocolates in their life. However, no one individual has the knowledge or foresight to predict what type of chocolate they are going to eat when picking from the box. The piece of chocolate that one chooses can be either sweet, bitter or mediocre. When one chooses a chocolate from the box, they cannot put the chocolate back. This ideology shown here represents two major factors: that one will never know what will occur in the future, while we as humans are inherently filled with and ruled by uncertainty. Robert Zemeckis portrays this notion and demonstrates the box of chocolates as an important symbol in the film. Forrest Gump, is frequently shown holding a box of chocolates in the film. This shows the uncertainty of life, and that even though this uncertainty is present,
People are capable of doing crazy things! Nora, in Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, loved her husband so much that she committed forgery just for the sake of his wellbeing. Susan Glaspell’s character in Trifles, Mrs. Wright, murders her husband after she discovers that he killed the one most precious thing to her, her pet bird. It was out of love that these women committed illegal crimes. Nora wanted her husband to be healthy because she loved him and knew that without his salary coming in, their home would fall apart. In contrast, Mrs. Wright wanted her husband dead. He was responsible for taking the life of the only company she had for many years. Mrs. Wright loved her pet bird more than she
The movies that I am comparing are “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory was a 1971 film directed by Mel Stuart, and starred Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a 2005 musical fantasy film directed by Tim Burton and starred Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. Both Movies are an adaptation of the 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. In both movies, a young boy named Charlie Bucket wins a tour through the most magnificent chocolate factory in the world, led by the world's most unusual candy maker, Willy Wonka.
Childhood, as we all know, is the state or period of being a child; the early period in the development of something (Merriam-Webster). The movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) illustrates five different children with each having different behavior, and they have one thing in common they are the only child in their family. These children are in the middle childhood, primary school age, around age seven or eight. What makes them different from each other is interesting. It allows the viewers to think if their behavior is either result of their experience or how they were raised. How they perceive things and how they behave are part of their cognitive development. The major domain of early childhood development is their cognitive development and the arguable aspects of the Nature-Nurture.
In both Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Alice in Wonderland the underlying meaning can come from the character’s curiosity. In Alice in Wonderland, the whole premise of the movie is based on Alice’s curiosity as a person. This is what leads her down the rabbit whole (1:35:53-1:35:04). In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie’s curiosity about Willie Wonka and this Factory is what leads him to buying the chocolate bar (1:26:16-1:25:47). The curiosity of both characters eventually leads them so something great. One theme that is portrayed in both of these movies is that if one is curious about the world they will find something that they love. Another meaning that is in the interior of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is that the prize in life comes from hard work and sacrifice. Charlie wins the prize from Willie Wonka because Willie sees that Charlie is a hard worker and honest. Charlie gets his hard working personality from his parents and understands hard work because of his poor economic circumstances. The most noticeable interior meaning that is shown in all of Burtons movies, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Alice in Wonderland, is that the outcast in the beginning of the film ends up being the hero by the end of the film. In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie becomes the hero by being able to take over the factory for Willie Wonka. In Alice in Wonderland, Alice is
Imagine being a young child walking into a chocolate museum where chocolate lines the walls, you can create your own one of a kind candy bar, thousands of different types of chocolates, and chocolate bars line the walls.
The box of chocolates line resembles how Forrest sees life differently. He grew up being told by his mother on what he should and shouldn’t do to help him get through life. He had the mind set of doing any opportunity that came to him. He did all kinds of incredible things such as playing on a college football team, joining the military, starting a shrimp business, etc. Editing can be shown during the historical events that Forrest participates in such as when African Americans were accepted to his school. The effect was in black and white to show an older scenario.
The tall man glared at them. In his hand was a bowl of candy, all types of chocolate , hard candy, liquorice and chocolate marshmallows.
Tim Burton produced “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” as well. Charlie Bucket was the misfit of the group because he was the only normal child in the group chosen to enter the factory. When showing the children and where they were from, the lighting was high key, making the scene more cheerful. But when showing Charlie’s house, the lighting was low key. This made his family’s house seem not as happy or welcoming. You could also tell a difference in the condition of the family’s house by the sound. When showing the town and the house the Bucket’s lived in, there was non-diegetic music playing that was frightening and disturbing. When showing the other children’s homes and towns, the non-diegetic music was more upbeat and jolly. The movie
The producer, René Clair, made many important changes throughout the movie, one major change stood out, the mood. He incorporated the lighter mood with a variety of comedic and tacky scenes, with characters chasing each other, peeking through keyholes, and childish music, which left the audience happy and laughing at each of the characters. With a little romantic touch, it developed two characters to stand out and feel sympathetic for them. But with each joke, the characters make the
