O.P. RE: Charlie & the Chocolate Factory
This film has been the best depiction of the book so far, in ever aspect. Roald Dahl and his wife didn't like the original film, that's why it was called "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory". I think the original film is crap, the story isn't anything like the book at all, it just takes the concept and the names. The ending in the original film is really bad and nothing at all like the book. The ending of the film isn't the same as the book, but it is similar, it fills you with more suspense, and it is really surprising when you see the icing sugar at the end over the house!
Willy Wonka in the original film was a really bad guy, in this one, he is more sarcastic, and less dependent on other people, because of him being confined in one factory alone for such a long time. Willy in this film is more lifelike, not like a robot, it gives him more character. It seems like he has no heart or character, but he does in his inventions, he is happy, and he is also torn inside by what happened all those years ago, which adds something really good to the film.
