The review of Charlie and chocolate factory

It is a truth universally acknowledged that children are the symbol of innocence. But, apparently, the director of the Charlie and chocolate factory doesn’t agree.

There are five children in the film who have won the golden thickets which were offered by the owner of the largest chocolate factory in the world. The first kid is a gluttonous fat boy, who is always eating chocolate every time. The second is an emulative little girl. She has won many champions and never want to lose any game. The third girl is from a very rich family, whose father is a boss of a company. The forth is a little genius who is wallowed in those violent computer games. The last one, Charlie, the leading actor in this film, is just a normal boy, who is not faster, not stronger, or not more clever than other children, and his family is very poor. These children with one of their family members were invited to have a visit to that famous and mysterious chocolate factory, and one of them will got a special present at the end of the trip.

The factory’s owner, Mr Willy Wonka, is an odd fish who can’t pronounce the word parents clearly and have a lot of strange but funny ideas. To some extent, he is a man who has the child’s heart and adult’s mind. During the trip of visit in the factory, the kids and their parents were punished in succession for their greed, gluttony, envy, willfulness, selfishness and so on. So, at the end of the trip, Charlie was the only child left still , without any punishment. Mr Willy Wonka praised him and he want to give Charlie the chocolate factory as a present ,but there still has a condition to be mentioned ,which goes that if Charlie want to take over the factory , he must leave his family and go alone.

Now , there is a problem ,if you are Charlie ,which one will you choose , to go to the factory and to be rich or refuse the present and still live with the poor but warm family ? This is what the direct want to tell us. Nowadays, more and more people prefer to pursue the money and the power rather than cherish the love and dream. The first four children stand for the people in current society, Charlie stands for the people who are warmhearted, concerned, full of dream and love. In the film, Charlie’s family is not rich or powerful or even well connected, but Charlie still choose to stay with his family members and refuse to go to the factory alone. Maybe if such situation comes to us , most of us will hesitate to choose , but Charlie really understand that the love between family is the most valuable thing in the world , so he can make the decision without hesitation.

In the film , there is a sharp contrast between Mr Willy Wonka and Charlie –Willy Wonk have the largest and the most famous chocolate factory in the world, but he is alone; however, Charlie has nothing but he has a warm family. So Charlie is the luckiest boy in the world.(from the film) Not for his lucky chance to get the golden ticket, but for his family. I still remember the screen that when Charlie got his birthday gift , a bar of chocolate which is produced by Willy Wonka’s factory, he opened the box and found no golden thicket, I thought maybe he is not delighted ,but
