Charlie and the Chocolate Factory(2005)

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory(2005)



I welcome you back with another fantasy movie discussion starring Johnny Depp. I love the relation Depp has with fantasy movies. He can carry out the most ridiculous, mad and funny role ever created. Some of his most outrageous roles include the Mad Hatter, Captain Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissorhands, Willy Wonka, Barnabus Collins, and I thinks I am missing a few more. Anyways, he stars in this movie as Willy Wonka, the half mad chocolatier.


The movie follows the story of a young, poor and well-behaved boy, Charlie. He gets a long awaited chance to visit the chocolate factory of Willy Wonka. 5 children including him are to be selected to earn a big prize, a prize no one could ever imagine. The 4 children excluding Charlie are spoiled brats and are eliminated one by one in the most hilarious ways. Charlie remains and inherits the awesome prize. But there is a turning point, and the plot does not unweave as expected. But don't worry, I won't tell you the twist in the plot. 




Anyways, there are many reasons why I absolutely loved this movie. The first reason is the cast. Freddie Highmore playing Charlie is an absolutely apt decision made by the casting team. Moreover, what could be a better decision than casting Johnny Depp as Willy? The second reason is the visual effects and animation effects within the movie. The story and plot is also amazing (the story is actually that of the book of the same name). The moral of the movie also has a lasting effect. It highlights the importance of families in all of our lives.

I recommend this movie to all fantasy lovers and children's movie lover (or Johnny Depp fans :p).
