Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Essay

Charlie is a poor boy who lives with his parents and grandparents on both sides. There was a famous gigantic chocolate factory, ran by a man named Willy Wonka. The factory had closed its’ gate for more than fifteen years, no one had ever got in and the workers had never came out. But children loved their chocolates. Once, Wonka held an activity for children who like his chocolate around the world. Five golden tickets were hidden in five of the chocolate bars and whoever got the ticket gets to visit the factory. Charlie was lucky enough to get a golden ticket. The other four lucky children all have characteristics of their own. Augustus is greedy about food, Veruca is spoiled, Violet is boastful, and Mike is over addicted to video games. Their tour in the chocolate factory started out. For the other children wouldn’t listen to Wonka’s words and couldn’t go against the temptations, they each had a bad ending. Augustus fell into the chocolate river, Violet turned into a blue berry, Veruca fell into the garbage hole, and Mike was stretched into a thin shape. The only child left who was not attracted by any temptation was Charlie, who Wonka wanted to pass the factory to. But for Wonka refused to let Charlie bring his family into the factory, he rejected. At last, Charlie helped Wonka reunited his father, who was a dentist and once disagreed Wonka to have any kind of sweets. Charlie agreed to take over the factory and move his whole family into the facility. One very important thing in this movie is family. Charlie wanted to sell the golden ticket and earn some money for his family at first, but then his family supported him to go take a look. Even though the family’s economy was challenged, but all they want was to give Charlie the best. After the tour in the chocolate factory, Wonka decided to pass on his career to Charlie. Charlie refused Wonka for he can not live with his family and this decision helped Wonka found the feeling of love in a family again. Wonka’s father was a dentist, so he never lets little Wonka have any sweets. Wonka was unhappy about that so he decided to run away from home and open a factory with all kinds of candies in it. After he met Charlie and his family, Wonka found back the feeling of family again and Charlie helped him reunited his father. Wonka finally understood, â€Å"Family† is the most precious treasure that nothing would be able to take over its place. In this movie, Charlie’s father worked as a person who just twists the cap of tooth pastes on. He was once fired because new machines were invented to take over him. We can see that the job at that time was just doing one thing over and over again. I’ve found something that shows this phenomenon too. In the factory, Veruca wanted one of the squirrels that worked there. If you look carefully, you can see that all the squirrels look the same, so did all the elves. I think it is trying to tell the readers something. One last thing I want to say about this film is that it showed a serious problem about manners. All five children except Charlie wasn’t taught well by their family and it is actually a very important issue. In the movie, Augustus, Veruca, Violet, and Mike all have bad attitude and terrible habits. Veruca wants everything and Violet always tries to get first place on any events. It refers to the society in modern days; a lot of teenagers do not know what manner and politeness is. Kids became ruder and have no respect to the elders. A lot of children are way to spoiled which make them having a hard time on making friends. Helicopter parents are often seen these days. All these appeared to be nothing but they are actually serious. To be taught unwell can bring kids to bad ending just like the ones that happened to the four kids in the movie. After watching this movie, I’ve found a lot and think a lot. There are many questions that worth us thinking. After all, it is a great movie.
