America was a very different country in 1971 when the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was made than it was when the 2005 remake Charlie and the Chocolate Factory hit theaters. From 1971 to 2005 America’s technology had advanced greatly and the culture had changed as well. These two factors can likely explain why these two movies that closely follow the same story line have many differences. The most noticeable difference is the change in graphics and special effects.

The actors were similar in actual age when playing
The book and movies I am going to compare are Charlie (Willy Wonka) and the Chocolate factory. The book was written by British author, Roald Dahl.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Vs Charlie and the Chocolate Factory “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” are both amazing movies about a poor boy who somehow gets lucky and meets Willy Wonka himself. They both have the same main idea but there are a few differences about the settings, how the characters look like, and what happens to them. The older one (Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory) was made in the year of 1971, and the new one (Charlie
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as Judeo-Christian Allegory In the classic children's film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, which is based on the novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the author and writer of the screenplay, Roald Dahl presents the viewer with a strikingly vivid metaphor that compares fundamental Judeo-Christian beliefs with, that's right, candy. The basic figures in the religion are given representational roles in the film that do not hide, but instead

“I want an Oompa Loompa now” said Violet in the 1971 classic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. This is entitlement, “the feeling or belief that you deserve to be given something (such as special privileges)” Violet did nothing to deserve the Oompa Loompa yet because her daddy has an endless checkbook she feels entitled. There are a few other meanings to this word, the right to guaranteed benefits; the fact of having a right to something. Depending on political views, how someone is raised or
Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” tap’s into young readers anxieties by opening their imagination to new thoughts of possible events that they might experience in the future. Dahl uses Charlie Bucket, the main character as the hero of the story, and arguably a role model for young readers, to portray the life of a poor child who is not blessed with all the things that he wants, because of his economical situation. In this critical paper, I will argue how Charlie Bucket’ character can be
caught my attention was when Clare was trying to bring up the sales of one of their bar soaps and so they started a contest. They advertised that the winning bars of soap would have a gold coin in them. This really boosted sales. It reminded me of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. In that movie, everyone went crazy to find the golden tickets. Even if people didn’t like the chocolate bars, they bought them just for the chance to win. Another part of this story that stood out to me was when Julia
the Sidewalk Ends" no longer holds our imagination as much as it did at eight years old, we begin to read stories that are a reflection of the environment we live within. We engaged ourselves in the lives of such characters as the Hardy Boys and Willy Wonka. What these stories lacked however, are the social issues that are ever present in today’s society. Not all of American children’s literature is without social content, but the literature many of us grew up with was about adventure and mystery

Charlie and the Chocolate factory is a remake of the children’s classic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, although the acting, setting, and story may seem silly at times, the movie actually have a logical message hidden beneath it all. The emotional connection, credibility, logic, purpose, and setting of the movie are extremely valid, and when you get past the childish cover up, it is really a serious movie. The use of pathos is very strong in the beginning and end of the movie, first with the
no heaven and hell to look forward to or fear, no rewards and no wrath. Choose God, says Pascal, If you win you win everything if you lose you lose nothing, though the odds are even, the rewards are not. Choose heads and win, and in the words of Willy Wonka, you win the "grand and glorious jackpot." Is this true? Is it wrong for me to take a theist's approach to this paper, and yet still disagree with Pascal's logic? Pascal says there is a full and happy life to be won, but isn't there also a full
