Willy Wonka Comparison

A Bronx Tale, an American crime drama film directed by Robert De Niro accomplished all the aspects that correspond to a classic Italian mafia movie. Similar to The God Father, A Bronx Tale captured communal and family relationships in an Italian neighborhood in the 1950's and 60's. This motion picture included multiple sub-plots, but had an underlying plot that was concentrated on towards the end. The plot showed the bigger picture of the film which tackles a controversial topic, especially in the time period in which the movie takes place. The different sub-plots may alter one’s expectations of the remainder of the movie. Although this film includes many important details of conflicts, what one can grasp from watching the movie is the conflict between African-Americans and Italian-Americans. The director purposefully adds a love interest to show a sort of union in the midst of confrontation. In addition, what seemed to be a competition to dominate as Calegero’s father figure between Lorenzo, his dad, and Sonny, one of the men the protagonist looks up to, influences the audience’s idea of where the film is headed.

In the film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the mise-en-scène tells the audience a lot about the story going on around them. The movie starts off introducing the different kinds of candy that are produced in what we can only assume, is the Wonka Factory. With this the director sets a calm and colorful effect to his audience, thus capturing their full attention. Once this is over we see that kids crave wonka candy since it is the first thing that the kids do once school is out for the day. Here is when Charlie Bucket is introduced.

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.

There was a man who gave up his life He traveled far and wide around the globe Leaving his son leaving his wife He spent years coast to coast on a boat Sometimes in understanding and sometimes in strife His agreement to fight and to defend His decision to love and sacrifice And in the end

The only two exceptions in the story seem to be Charlie and the great Willy Wonka. Throughout the book Willy Wonka is highly respected and thought to be a genius by everyone. He is revered, and nothing but praise seems to be heaped upon him by every character in the story and what seems to put him apart from everyone is his belief in both ideals. Even though it is not stated in the book there is clear evidence that Wonka is a very business minded individual and gives the success of his factory massive importance. This is shown in the way he closed down his factory from the public in order to safeguard the secrets of his products from spy efforts from his competitors.

The recent movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, was an immediate box office success. Johnny Depp played a wonderful part as Willy Wonka in this movie. The book, originally published in 1964, was first made into a movie in 1971. In this movie, Gene Wilder played a remarkable role of Willy Wonka as well. Despite the many differences in the actors, both had huge success playing the role of the wacky, chocolate loving Mr. Wonka.

Willy's close friend Charlie on the other hand, despite his seemingly ordinary lifestyle, enjoys far better success compared to the Lomans. Charlie differs to his friend considerably: he is financially secure whereas Willy can barely afford to pay the next gas bill. Similarly, Charlie never indoctrinated his son, Bernard, with the same enthusiasm as Willy. Subsequently, Charlie stands for different beliefs to Willy and, ironically, ends up far more successful. He is a voice of reason for his friend but is only useful if Willy follows his advice. Instead, Willy's proud and stubborn nature ensures that he will never accept Charlie's many

Both the narrator in I’m a Fool and Huck in Huck Finn assume a person’s worth through social status, but both shortly learn that status doesn’t always determine ones’ worth. In order to appeal to the girl, the narrator, whom despises the wealthy, acts and voices as if he himself were affluent. Similarly, Huck distinguishes Jim as a slave who is significantly inferior than himself. These examples both show how one’s social class can determine their value. The narrator and Huck both understand how social status can permit discrimination.

While Wonka was a child, his dad did not permit him eat any of his sweets on Halloween, creating tension between the two. Throughout the movie, series of flashbacks create more and more conflict with Willy's dad and himself, to the point where he decides to abandon his home and search for a new life. Within these memories, there is no connection between Wonka and his dad. He learns to disregard how his dad wronged him and begins to focus his energy into what he loves; making candy. His love for the factory and the people inside it became all of what he really knew in life.

Throughout the movie “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” Charlie believes that he has a better shot than anyone to get the golden ticket because he wants it more than anyone else. Charlie has the motive to approach success in this situation because he has the “capacity to experience pride in accomplishment.”(Shcunk 126). He believes that no one else in the world deserves the ticket more than he does so that gives him the motivation to try and find it. When he does find it he demonstrates incentive value of success, “defined as one’s pride in accomplishment, by running straight home and showing everyone his golden ticket. Charlies’

Is Willy Happy? The Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller explains an issue that one family had trying to achieve the American Dream.

Work hard, be honest, don't give up. These phrases are often said but not taken very seriously. Many people do not follow these words and consequently, end up making mistakes and experiencing failures consistently. Morals are an essential part of life that determine what kind of person someone is, successful or unsuccessful. The play Death of a Salesman clearly illustrates this using various symbols that connect together to send that message.

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
