The movie adaptation of the Roald Dahl book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of my favourite movies. As it being the second movie adaptation of the book, I enjoyed it a lot. There is now three movies that are based on the book by Roald Dahl, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), and Most recently Wonka (2023). My favourite out of the three films is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Johnny Depp starring as Willy Wonka. I like this one because its funny and also has memorable and iconic scenes.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory follows the main character of Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore) and his grandpa Joe alongside a small group of contest winners through the mysterious Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp) has a hidden motivated prize of sorts waiting for the children if they get to the end.
Besides being entertaining to watch as a child or an adult, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory teaches people of all ages that karma exists in life. It shows how everything comes back to people, if you do something wrong to someone, someone else will do something wrong to you. Which also is the same for good karma, if you do something good for someone someone else could do something good for you. Throughout Charlie and the Chocolate Factory we are able to see just how karma affects all of the children and just how quickly it all happens.
This movie teaches not only children but everyone who watches it how karma can be instant and how the way we act impacts us. The movie explains topics like karma in a more comedic way with amazing one liners which makes everyone laugh. There are some themes from the movie that you will not pick up if you are young, however, if you do go back and watch it over you will pick up many of the hidden meanings behind some of the things that are said within the film.
I have loved this movie since a very young age and I still to this day am not exactly sure the reason but even though some people hate it, I love it. If you want to watch a comedic movie where theres music and all around a lot of fun, then Charlie and the Chocolate Factory may be just what you want to watch. I love rewatching it and finding something new that I didn’t before every time I watch it because theres just that much going on. I love this movie so much and honestly I give it a 10 out of 10 because I think its an amazing film.
