Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Watched the movie yesterday at Causeway Point with Cheah, Ong, Kelvin and Azri. Have to say that the movie was not bad (I noe, I noe limited vocab). The opening was majestic; the music was marvelous and the chocolate looked yummy. What more can I say...I love chocolate.
the story was quite subtle; no violence, no evil villain and the messages were sent through the songs that the Oompalumpas (dunno whether the spelling is correct) sang after each kid suffered a mishap. Johnny Depp played the eccentric Mr. Willy Winka rather well but the children looked rather scary to me with their ear to ear grin, sparkling eyes and their cute dimples (like Azri haha). Here's what happened to the four kids:
1.Augustus was sucked up the chocolate vaccuum thingy after he fell into the river of chocolate.
2.Violet turned, well...violet after eating a 3-course meal chewing gum and swelled up like a blueberry.
3.Veruca; this spoilt brat was sent down the rubbish chute together with the rest of the bad nuts by the trained squirrels.
4.Mike was stretched after he shrunk himself into a television set (smarty pants!)

Charlie was left and was told that he won the ultimate prize, to be the heir of Mr. Wonka and inherit the chocolate factory but turned it down after learning that he has to leave his family behind.

I wouldn't give up my family for all the chocolate in the world

Wise words,Charlie. Indeed it was as the devastated and confused Wonkaset went to find out why Charlie turned down the offer. He learned that family the most important thing in everybodys life. They went to visit Wonka's father and was soon forgiven...so easy! Seeing how important family is, Wonka reconsider letting Charlie and his family live in the Chocolate factory. The end.

Cool stuff:
1.the glass elevator that can go anywhere...provided the button is available.
2.the forest where everything is edible, even Wonka himself (but that is cannibalism and it is in fact frowned upon in many societies)
3.Wonka's glasses are totally rad!
4.how Mt. Fudge in fact all that is inside, can fit into the factory.
5.Wonka stuttering and showing funny mouth expressions when all he wanted to say was parents.
6.there are no asian winners...bummer

It certainly was a unique movie but that is Tim Burton's style...dark.
Rating: 3.75/5
