Charlie Bucket

In this article, Brock Bastain, explores how the sensation of pain is a good thing and how it builds up the sensation of pleasure. Another aspect this article includes is that endless pleasure may actually lead to dystopian societies as deliberated in Aldous Huxley’s 1932 novel “Brave New World.” The author states that, “We need pain to provide a contrast for pleasure; without pain, life becomes dull, boring and downright undesirable.” The author uses the example of “a chocoholic in a chocolate…

At first glance, one might assume that Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a feel-good story. Charlie is a likable, well behaved, optimistic and kind child with a rags to riches story. The setting is a fantastical and whimsical sugary paradise, the stuff a childhood paradise might be made from. Everything neatly wrapped up with a moralistic bow of the good little boy gets the candy. If one looks deeper, they can pull much darker messages and undertones from the movie. Full of symbolism…

The ghastly images and music grant the sense that something is awry. Something has happened and now the inventor is dead. The music provides a heads up that there is a problem of some kind. Burton also utilizes diegetic sound to create mood. In “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” the Oompa-Lumpas sing every time a rotten child is taken away.

First of all, Burton’s use of music, mainly diegetic, in his films help the audience to be engaged and understand the emotions within the characters. For example, in his film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, there were several songs sung by the Oompa-loompas during the scenes where one of the children were in trouble for misbehaving and disobeying the rules that Willy Wonka has set for his factory. As the Oompa-loompas…
