Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
A Film of Chocolaty joy for the whole family
This is an amazing film, much better than the 2005 remake. It is nice to see the early 70's sets which seemed much more extravagant as a kid, but you have to appreciate them. The cast is much better than the remake. Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka is more of a favourable character than Johnny Depp's and Granpa Joe will keep a smile on your face. The special effects were top of the range back in the 70's and they have had influence on a number of other films (especially the shrinking of Mike Teevee. Everyone's favourite character of the film is Wonka himself, who is a quirky character but seems to be hiding something. Charlie has to be the second (if not joint first) favourite character with his innocence and correct morals (even if some people don't like that he decided to buy chocolate instead of giving it to his family (but those people are just being pedantic), besides he does give some of the money to them). Then there is Grandpa Joe, who is enlightened and re-energised by Charlie. There are also four other children who everyone loves to see get what they deserve. And then there is the small, but wonderful Oompa-Loompas that give the feel of Oompa-Land. All I can say to sum up is that the film is full of great music, it is enjoyable for all the family and it is a film of Pure Imagination.
