Charlie and the Chocolate Factory- Film Analysis

The movie "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is mostly about Charlie, instead of the original 1971 film “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”. Young Charlie Bucket is so charming and excitable, and comes from such an eccentric and unpredictable household, that the wonders inside the chocolate factory are no more amusing than everyday life at the Bucket residence.

We've got two major settings in this film and they couldn't be more contrasting from each other The world outside the factory is a greedy, cold, unfair place. Charlie's family struggles just to get by while families like the Salts can afford to buy whatever they want, whenever they want.

Whereas inside the factory, there are so many different places and rooms to go to that not even the richest person would quite know where to start. The factory is even more fantastic than anyone ever could have possibly imagined. It makes the outside world look even more awful than it had already seemed. 

My opinion on this film is that at a young age watching it you just feel warm and excited by the new approaches and event that’s come with watching this film. However watching it from an age where you start to properly look at the plot pf the story you realise that there is a much darker side to this film that you didn’t notice the first time around. This makes me feel quite uneasy when watching it because it gives me a view on this film that I hadn’t realised before.
