Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

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.

His face reads disgust as he realizes there was something off about this chocolate bar. He pulls a chewed up piece of the ticket out of his mouth and looks at the bar to see that he had won a golden ticket. Throughout this scene, Augustus had had chocolate smeared unattractively all over his mouth. Because of this scene, the viewer’s initial reaction is disgust…

surprising what can be behind the idea of something so small, with so much meaning. He expresses these qualities in greater depth, with the cinematic techniques music/sound, lighting/color and framing/angles.

Well..she was obviously pink, I already said that, and she was wearing a Pink headpiece. She looked like the Pink Panther in a race. Talking about cats.. She was with…

The character Forest Gump vividly described life as being “like a box of chocolates.” It was not very hard for one to figure what Forest Gump meant by his statement. He simply was saying that a person can sometimes never know what life has in store for him or her.
