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.
Years ago, spies were deployed by various candy rivals and many of Wonka's secret recipes were stolen. Unsure of who was responsible for the betrayal, Wonka fired all the workers and closed the doors to his factory. Not long after, the factory again started churning out chocolate, but no one ever went in or out of the factory. Now, years later, Willy Wonka has decided to reveal the mysteries of the factory to five lucky children. Entrance will be granted to these children in the form of five golden tickets, which are to be randomly inserted into Wonka's chocolate bars.
Hysteria sweeps across the world to find the golden tickets. Five children find the tickets: Augustus Gloop, Violet Beauregard, Verruca Salt, Mike TeeVee and Charlie Bucket.
In both movies, the greedy Augustus Gloop is the first one to find a ticket because he's an overweight
The same cinematic technique is utilized in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In the inception of the film, darker and paler shades of colors are emphasized in the scenery. Especially inside Charlie’s home. However, once inside the chocolate factory, conspicuous colors are introduced. Even though the factory seemed like an exuberant center, there was still a profound void inside the hearts of Wonka, the obnoxious children, and non-proficient parents, not including Charlie and his grandfather. They were lacking the warmth of family unity and self content amid impecuniosity, that Charlie and his grandfather possessed. One can discern that Burton’s style is highly influenced by his lighting effects which in turn affects the tone, mood, and imagery of the film. The sharp contrast of coloration, establishes symbolism, tone, mood, and imagery. Another apparent effect of lighting is the mood it synthesizes. During the scenes in which the figures are pale or low key, the viewer feels uncomfortable. The reverse occurs during the high key scenes. Without the implementation of high key and low key, Burton’s message would have never been fully apprehended in both of the films.
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 plot had some major differences as well as its similarities, for example, when Lydia was frightened by the lions and when Peter and Wendy "killed" their parents. The film did follow the same storyline and had the same plot but also had some slight differences here and there, for example ... In the story, George and Lydia found a wallet and a scarf in the nursery, but they found a purse in the movie. The children didn't land in the "space ship" and they didn't even mention the plastic carnival. There were no whining or jumping on couch's as referenced in the story when the kids heard the news about locking up the nursery, they just got mad and ran towards the nursery. When the Parents were supposedly chased by lions, Lydia wasn't crying, the story made it seem more dramatic than it appeared in the video. As well as Peter called George “George” in the movie instead of Father or Dad, this was not mentioned in the story, but it did show how he didn’t really think of George as his Dad. There were also a little foreshadowing at the end when George told Lydia to RIP “Rest in peace” then shortly after they
First off, the biggest difference is the time periods of each movie. The older movie was set in Early Renaissance times. The newer movie is set in the early ninety’s. Another difference is the use of special effects. In the
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.
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.
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.
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
“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
Sodapop hit Pony in both the movie and book, Likewise, Johnny killed the soc in both the film and book, the characters overall are similar in both the movie and book, though Two-bit was described to be worse than he acted in the representation of the book.
The first major similarity is when the movie producers stuck to the main point of the story about the sacrifice. The point of the lottery was the sacrifice for crops. This similarity make the movie more like the story. Another similarity , the people were the same and the way the lottery was done was the same. The movie producers used the same people and the black box and stool.The third similarity is that the dialogue was mostly the same. Tessie after they “won” the lottery she went out and started protesting about that it wasn’t fair. Also, old man Warner thought people giving up the lottery are crazy. To sum up, the similarities made the movie more like
The basic plots of these two movies are practically identical except for one crucial distinction, Willy Wonka. By giving Wonka an in depth backstory, in Burton’s rendition, it completely changes the theme of the films. Wonka, played by Johnny Depp, is haunted by his past from having a candy forbidding dentist as a father. This gives his character a deep seated aversion to any form of family. Through flashbacks and daydreams, Burton added another side to Wonka’s character. It showed his tortured soul which made the film more enjoyable for audiences of all ages. However the ending is considered far too dark for younger audiences, painting Willy Wonka as more of a villain than a hero. When Charlie finally makes it to the end of the tour instead of welcoming him and his family into the factory with open arms like the original film, Wonka is cold and tells Charlie to leave his family behind or give up all the riches in the world. Charlie, of course, chooses his family and Wonka is forced to re-examine his life and what really
It might seem Peter from Mr. Terupt and Greg from Diary of a Wimpy Kid have some similarities. Peter from Mr.Terupt is a very big trouble maker. He loves to pull pranks on school mates. Greg from Diary of a Wimpy Kid is a outgoing person. Messes around but also loves to play video games. But a theme that goes for both story’s is they both create mischief.
The movie “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory”(IMDB) illustrates five different children, with each having different behavior. Augustus, a repulsive boy who eats what he wants with no control which explains his obesity. Veruca, a daughter of a wealthy family and a spoiled brat. Violet, confident, active, a self-driven, and a go-getter girl. Mike, a complex boy who enjoys new technologies and talks maturely at most times. Last but not the least is Charlie, a kind, respectful and a patient boy. These children are in the middle childhood, primary school age, around age seven or eight. They have two things in common; they are intelligent in their own way, and they are the only child in their family. So what makes their behavior different from
inventing new kinds of candy treats. The only workers at the factory are the mischievous
