Plot overview

Charlie Bucket is a poor boy living with his parents and four grandparents in a tiny, rickety shack in the city. He spends most of his time dreaming about the chocolate that comes from the nearby chocolate factory, owned by the greatest candy maker in the world, Willy Wonka. Charlie's family is struggling to make ends meet when his father (Noah Taylor) loses his job at the toothpaste factory. Things begin to look up when Willy Wonka announces that he has placed "Golden Tickets" into five of his Wonka Bars. The finders of these special items will be given a full tour of Wonka’s famous candy factory (the inner workings of which are a tightly kept secret) and a lifetime supply of chocolate. Also, for one of the five ticketholders there will be a "surprise". Chocolate comes in dark, milk, and white varieties with cocoa solids contributing to the brown coloration. ...

Charlie gets ready to unwrap his birthday present.

It happens to be Charlie's birthday next week, the one day each year that he receives a Wonka Bar. Despite nearly impossible odds of winning, he is still disappointed when he finds no golden ticket inside. One by one, news reports from all over the world reveal the children who find the first four tickets, all characterized by a major personality flaw. Grandpa Joe (David Kelly), who used to work at Wonka's factory, gives Charlie a coin to buy another bar. It comes up empty once again, but, on the last day of the contest, Charlie finds a bill of cash with which he buys the last winning chocolate bar.

Violet Beauregarde after blowing up into a giant blueberry.

The next morning Charlie and Grandpa Joe arrive for the tour, led by the strange and eccentric candy man, Willy Wonka. During the tour, the first four ticket-winning children, other than Charlie, are one by one tempted by something extraordinary, resulting in an accident, causing the child and the worried accompanying parent to be off the tour, but in each case Willy Wonka is quite indifferent about the accident. Augustus Gloop (Philip Wiegratz), a gluttonous overeater, falls into a river of chocolate in The Chocolate Room and is sucked away by a pipe. Competitive gum-chewer Violet Beauregarde (Annasophia Robb) hastily chews a defective piece of gum that turns her into a giant blueberry. Spoiled Veruca Salt (Julia Winter) demands to steal a squirrel for herself in the Nut Room, where she is attacked by the squirrels and thrown down a chute, deemed a "bad nut". Mike Teavee (Jordan Fry), who is obsessed with TV and video games, demands to be the first human transported over television waves (teleportation), causing him to be shrunken to miniature size. Each of the "accidents" occur after the children refuse instructions against doing something, and each is followed by a song of morality by the Oompa-Loompas (Deep Roy), Wonka's little factory workers from Loompaland. By the end of the day, each of the children leave the factory, altered in some way by their wrongdoings, Augustus Gloop was covered in melted chocolate, Violet Beauregarde was blue and flexible, Veruca Salt was covered in garbage, and Mike Teavee was a at least 10 ft tall and as thin as paper.

During the tour, Willy Wonka has flashbacks to his childhood (a backstory not in the original book). These give background on his defunct relationship with his dentist father, Dr. Wilbur Wonka, played by Christopher Lee. As a child Wonka was denied chocolate and candies by his father because of the potential risk to his teeth. After finally sneaking in a piece of chocolate, he became obsessed, dreaming of being a chocolatier. Despite his father's wishes, Wonka ran away from home to follow his dreams.

After Mike Teavee's departure, Willy Wonka notices that Charlie is the only remaining child. He reveals his desire to hand over the chocolate factory to Charlie, as he is the least rotten of the group. The only catch is that Charlie must abandon his family in order to accept the arrangement, because family members only tell you what to do, and a chocolatier needs complete creative freedom. Charlie's family is the most important thing in his life, even more important than chocolate, and therefore he refuses a befuddled Wonka.

Days go by, and the Bucket family is happier than ever. Wonka returns to Charlie, and in an attempt to understand his love of family, requests the boy to join him in confronting his own father. The elder Wonka and son end up reconciling, and in the end Willy Wonka and Charlie begin work together as a candymaking team, with Charlie's house and family relocated to the factory's chocolate room. And Willy Wonka had a family, Charlie had a chocolate factory, and life couldn't be any sweeter.

Production

Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka

According to those involved with the creation of the film, the main vision behind this film was for it to be a closely adapted and slightly modernized version of the original 1964 book by Roald Dahl, and not a remake of the original 1971 musical film version.

Casting and setting

Several actors were considered for the role of Willy Wonka, including rumours of shock rocker Marilyn Manson as the eccentric candy man. Once Burton was part of the project, he immediately chose friend Johnny Depp, who had previously starred in Burton's films Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow (and later starring in Corpse Bride), to fill Wonka's shoes. Depp agreed, and also convinced Burton to hire young Finding Neverland co-star Freddie Highmore as the new Charlie Bucket and Jordan Fry as the new Mike Teavee.

Characters

• Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore), a poor boy who lives with his parents and four grandparents in a tiny, rickety shack in a great city. He spends most of his time dreaming about the candy that comes from the nearby chocolate factory, owned by the greatest chocolatier in the world.
• Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp), the best and most magical, astounding chocolate maker in the world. He closed his factory and sacked all of his workers and replaced them with natives of Loompaland because of his fear of corporate spies working in the pay of other, less successful companies. He once made an entire palace of chocolate in India, which tragically melted in a couple of days. He sent out five Golden Tickets and allowed five children to visit the factory in order to find an heir. He is charming and intelligent (when he wants to be), but has truly stunted social skills that render him extremely bizarre to most people from the "outside world" due to his unhappy childhood and the long isolation from the world since the factory's closure.
• Mike Teavee (Jordan Fry), a boy who is obsessed with TV and video games, demands to be the first human transported over television waves, causing him to be shrunken to miniature size, and sent to the taffy puller. Got the ticket by calculations and only having to buy one bar (his father says in the TV interview that he is a very smart kid, as he is in high school). He doesn't like chocolate too well and he dresses like a typical mall goth. He has a very short fuse due to playing so many video games, and a superiority complex over mostly everyone, except for his mom and dad.
• Veruca Salt (Julia Winter), Veruca Salt tries to steal a "nut assessing" squirrel for herself after Willy Wonka refuses to sell one for her to her father. When she tries, she is assessed by the squirrels a "bad nut" and is then thrown down the garbage chute. Insisted that her dad had to get her a ticket. Her rich father turned his peanut company into a candy unwrapping plant until the ticket is found. She is finally denied something (a flying glass elevator) by her father at the end of the film.
• Violet Beauregarde (Annasophia Robb) is a girl who is constantly chewing gum. She hastily chews a defective piece of gum from Wonka's factory. The gum turns her into a giant blueberry, and she is sent to the juicing room for squeezing. She is competitive, but she took part in the contest because her mother wants her to win at everything. Unlike the rest of the children, she is pleased with herself as she leaves the factory, in spite of her mother's chagrin at having a blue-colored daughter, because she's now more flexible than ever and sure to win some more gymnastics trophies.
• Augustus Gloop (Philip Wiegratz), a gluttonous overeater, falls into a river of chocolate in The Chocolate Room and is sucked away by a pipe to the fudge room. He found his ticket by accident (and accidently bit one corner off).
• The Oompa-Loompas (all played by Deep Roy) are Wonka's little factory workers from Loompaland. Loompaland is an uncharted land. The Oompa-Loompas lived on mashed giant caterpillars and never could work long or hard enough to keep their race fit or alive. They had a horrible life in Loompaland until Willy Wonka arrived.
• Prince Pondicherry (Nitin Chandra Ganatra), tells Wonka to build him a palace entirely out of chocolate, andwonka assures him that it will be. He ignores wonka when he is told that he should eat the palace, and when Princecess Pondicherry is feeding him candies from a large box, drops of melting chocolate begin fall on his head. The palace begins to fall apart, but he and Princess Pondicherry escape covered in chocolate. In the 2005 film, he telegrams Wonka, asking for a new palace, but Wonka is busy because he has problems of his own concerning the spies coming to the factory.

Reception

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was released in the United States and Canada on July 15, 2005. In its opening weekend it earned US$55.4 million at the North American box office, and received mostly positive reviews, with an 83% rating[2] on Rotten Tomatoes, a website service that summarizes the nation's top print and online film critics. As of September 2005, the film has grossed $400 million in worldwide box office receipts. It was released on DVD on November 8, 2005.

Despite this, some critics complained that Depp's interpretation of Willy Wonka was similar to Michael Jackson and the addition of the backstory of his troubled childhood was not keeping with the spirit of Dahl's novel. It should be noted, however, that Dahl's surviving family gave their wholehearted support to the film and to the inclusion of Wonka's backstory. Michael Joseph Jackson (born August 29, 1958 [1] in Gary, Indiana), is an American singer-songwriter, record producer, dancer, choreographer, actor, and philanthropist, who is known by his success as The King Of Pop, or by his controversies - most notably by the media - as Wacko Jacko.

Criticism

"I don't care."

• Gene Wilder, who played Willy Wonka in the 1971 film, initially opposed this version, stating it "is all about money. It's just some people sitting around thinking 'How can we make some more money?' Why else would you remake Willy Wonka?" [3] Johnny Depp responded by saying "We didn't remake Willy Wonka, we remade Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It's based on the same book they based theirs on. Making a statement that they only made this film because of the money is a really odd statement to make from a guy who has been in the business as long as he has ... all movies were made because somebody somewhere wanted a return on their dollar that they spent." [4] However, since the film's release, Wilder has supported Depp, stating "If I were going to cast the movie, I would cast Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka because I think he is wonderful. Mysterious—always—and magical."[5].
• On its release, the film received generally favorable reviews. The average was 83% positive on Rotten Tomatoes[6], and 72% positive on Metacritic[7].
• A number of movie critics, including one from The New York Times, criticized Burton's Freudian backstory for Wonka as being both unnecessary and out of the spirit of Dahl's original novel.
• Also, many have criticized Burton and August's interpretation of the Wonka character as being out of the spirit of the original character—who, for instance, did not hate being around the kids (see below) and was not socially stunted. A case in point is the scene where Wonka welcomes the guests.
  • In the book, Wonka is very sociable and tremendously excited, almost hyperactive.
  • In Burton's film, Wonka cannot even greet them without looking at cue cards. Burton made a counterpoint by saying that "living in a factory with Oompa-Loompas will make anyone a little bit strange".
• Some film reviews have noted the resemblance of Depp's performance to pop star Michael Jackson and actor Sam Rockwell. Depp denied any resemblance to Jackson. Burton commented, "Here's the deal: Michael Jackson likes children, Willy Wonka can't stand them. To me, that's a big difference in the whole personality ya'know?"
• There have been some criticisms of racism, colonialism, slavery, and group stereotyping similar to those received by the original 1964 book, in which the Oompa-Loompas were described as dark-skinned pygmies from the African jungle.[8][9] [10]

Trivia

• Deep Roy played every Oompa-Loompa himself: each of several hundred Oompa-Loompas represents a separate performance by Roy. These were then put together digitally. However, for some shots (such as the boat ride), animatronic Oompa-Loompas were used and therefore they could be filmed along with the live actors.
• Of the 110,000 candy bars made, only 1,850 were real. The rest were made of plastic. They were prepared by the Nestlé corporation for the movie.
• There are buttons in the glass elevator marked Crusty Cream Puff, Television Room, Brain Aches, Clotted Cream Room, Fizzy Lifting Drinks, Fudge Fallout Shower, Incompetent Fools, Mechanical Clouds, Orange Egg Flip, Root Beer Goggles, Scratch and Sniff Room, Cocoa Cats, Black Box of Frogs, Brussel Sprout Ice Cream, Cheese and Anchovies, Dodgy Accents, Eight Till Latte Room, Rubber Forest, Large Cavity, Nice Plums, Pastry Room, Heart Shaped Lungs, Projection Room, Secretarial Poodles, T-Bone Steak Jell-O, Stars in their Pies, Up And Out, and Fragile Egos.
• Willy Wonka's father did not appear in Roald Dahl's novel or the original film. The character was written specifically for the movie to give Wonka some family history.
• Danny Elfman's opening music is reminiscent of his theme to Mars Attacks! and has been noted as similar to the background music of Invader ZIM, a show for the Nickelodeon cable channel created by Jhonen Vasquez and starring Richard Steven Horvitz, Wally Wingert, Andy Berman and others.
• The name of the toothpaste at the toothpaste factory where Charlie's father works is called "Smilex", which is the same name of Joker's poison in Batman.
• The scene that takes place in the TV room and leads to the downfall of Mike Teavee contains a parody of 2001: A Space Odyssey. The film is shown on the TV and the famous rendition of "Also Sprach Zarathustra" by Strauss plays at the same time. The chocolate bar teleported onto the screen acts as the monolith in the film. The design of the room looks very similar to the interiors of spacecraft and space stations in the film as well.
• In the TV room, the Oompa-Loompa was seen watching Oprah Winfrey, making her first cameo appearance in a Tim Burton movie, and one of the modern-day enhancements of the story. Additionally, the song "Macarena" can briefly be heard on the TV.
