Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Product Information

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been filmed twice – once in 1971, as Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, with Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka; and once in 2005, under the novel’s original title, with Johnny Depp in the Wonka role. The latter film has the big-name director (Tim Burton) and the big-budget special effects; but the older film, to my mind, captures better the spirit of the novel, with Gene Wilder expressing the offbeat qualities of the Wonka character in a powerful and nuanced manner. Next time you view the 1971 film, watch for the moments when naughty children are about to do something that will put them in trouble, while Wilder’s Wonka says, “Oh, no, please, don’t,” in a thoroughly bored monotone. He knows good kids from bad ones; he’s seen all this before. A 2004 study found that it was a common read-aloud book for fourth-graders in schools in San Diego County, California. [34] A 2012 survey by the University of Worcester determined that it was one of the most common books that UK adults had read as children, after Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and The Wind in the Willows. [35] Mr. Wonka says that not even Oompa Loompas are permitted into the Inventing Room; however, Mr. Wonka later calls a couple of Oompa Loompas into the room to roll Violet to the Juicing Room.

Willy Wonka, the owner of the chocolate factory, a man who makes Charles Montgomery Burns look reasonable, holds a competition to allow a small number of children into his factory to select one of them to be his successor.

Investigate how houses are insulated to keep them warm and to save energy.I will never forget growing up with Roald Dahl's books around me. Many of his stories are household classics for me, as is the 1971 movie of this book, where Gene Wilder brought Willy Wonka to life. As an adult, I can see some of the themes that Dahl seeks to instil in his readers, about fate, greed, gluttony, and patience. Told in such a fabulous manner as to entertain rather than inculcate, Dahl does not go for the pizzazz and hoopla of some drivel authors use now to lure readers into their novels. I am quite sure everyone wonders about an Oompa Loompa on occasion, which is enough to make me want to return to these books on a regular basis. One cannot criticize Dahl's work without upsetting a generation or two of readers, in its simplicity and complex themes offered up simultaneously. I would venture to say, the reader and listener (adult and child, alike) will take something from this book and find magic in the formulation.

"Mr. Wonka, I think there's been some mistake. This book isn't in English. In fact, I don't properly know what language it's in. We can't understand a word of it."
