Good Adaptation

I loved Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory far before I read the book. Although the book is different from the movie, I still enjoyed the movie.

The story is different from the book, but for the most part, it's accurate. Everything worked together really well, putting together a wonderful and imaginative world that made the movie amazing. The colorful atmosphere and ideas that the movie had were shown greatly through the story, which was just as great as the scenes it was built around.

The characters were portrayed wonderfully, but they weren't as accurate to the book as I would've liked, but the characters were realistic and just as great as the book version was.

It could spark that little kid inside of us.

Candy, candy, who wants candy?

Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was a movie that I relate very closely to my childhood. This is because in grade school when the teachers ran out of ideas and decided they needed a break they would set up a "movie time" and the majority of them would pick this movie for us to watch. While some might argue that it was because it teaches good morals in a very unusual way, I would tend to believe that it a was more or less the only movie they had at the school, and its probably because it fell out of some kids back pack and they never claimed it at the lost and found.
Gene Wilder puts on one of the best performances in this movie, while a lot of the movie doesn't take directly from the book, it does cover all of the key components and make sure that it stays as true to the idea that ...
