New Releases: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory {Cinematical}
Jul 18th 2005 8:24PM I thought the original was a very good movie HOWEVER this is not a remake of the original it is a much more accurate adaptation of the book. If you love Roald Dahl you will love this movie, Burton has interpreted the book in a way that I beleive, according to reports from Dahl's family, he would have loved. This movie shouldn't be compared to the previous adaptation. But seeing how other commentators are: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was a vehicle for Wilder, taking elements of the book , but concentrating on him, which was why Selzer rewrote Dahls original script and changed Wilder's dialogue to more literary and Shakespearian quotations that would befit a "star". Charlie and The Chocolate Factory tells the original story of the book You are not supposed to like the other kids characters, but that is the same as the Willy wonka Movie! Willy wonka and Charlie have a real connection in this movie that wasn't there in the Wilder version, the entire juvenile cast gave excellent performances, and if anything the "parents" were the only letdown in the modern version. The lyrics for the songs in this movie were written by Dahl and are far more appropraiate than the previous "musicalised" version, I mean, "Pure Imagination"??? almost as laughable as "Cheer Up Charlie" and "I've got a Golden Ticket"!!! Hardly sing-a-long songs! This is a modern movie and the music was appropriate for the current audience. Don't let the Wonka Nazis put you off from seeing this movie,for sheer honest to goodness entertainment it is the best movie I have seen this year.
