Charlie and the Chocolate Factory...(21/7)


Watched the new work of Tim Burton, and Tim Burton never changes. Recently, the director is interested in telling us more about the love with the father...We have Big Fish, the recent work of Burton and now we have a story about Willy Wondka. The story itself provides large room for the director to develop, and he did, in his always legendary world of film. Johnny Deep is always a good partner of the film maker, and this time, he acted well the lonely chocolatier. Images are nice, and Burton keeps on expressing his thoughts about the individualism, hi-tech development and industrialisation, absurd growth path of new generation, sentiment of family love etc. in his story. A reflection of the modern world. There is no need to construct the development of story in detail, and in fact the storyline is quite straight forward and expecting...or even systematic I have to say. But the essence of the work is perhaps a satisfaction of the film maker to produce scenes of musical play (!?) like those in the Alice's World?? Without comparing this with other masterpieces of Burton, this is an interesting piece, yet lacks a bit cohesiveness and the element of pursuit to more the mystery and details of the character. The story of Willy Wondka can be more developable. This is actually a waste. If you are a fans of Burton, this may be a disappointing work, as there is not much new element we can find and the film just releases after the magnificent Big Fish...By the way, the chocolate looks very stunning in the film...(B-)
