Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

God, this film is so incredibly mean! So gorgeous *snicker* Now that I have read up a bit about Roald Dahl, I understand why, but it was quite unexpected really. A children’s film involving chocolate is supposed to be yummy and cute, but of course that alone would not have done justice to the great acting skills of Johnny Depp, who was brilliant as Willy Wonka.
But… would I want my 10 year old child to watch this? XD Then again, it would be against human nature not to make fun of other people *tehe*

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the fourth film of Tim Burton that I am watching – aside from Sleepy Hollow which I’ve seen in the cinema back then, I have known nothing about him aside from quite a lot of DeviantArt pictures that all reference themselves to “Tim Burton’s style”. So I have come to like the style even before I’ve seen any film by him; but with Sleepy Hollow, Big Fish, Corpse Bride and this one, I think I’m going to become a fan of his film too *hrr* (I did not really like Big Fish though!)

PS. I found it interesting to see that I did not suddenly feel like eating lots of chocolate while watching the film… I had that urge when I watched “Chocolat” back then, though XD
