"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the Chocolate Factory" Tim Burton's authorship inspired by Roald Dahl's worldview

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the Chocolate Factory Synopsis

Charlie, who lives happily with his family, is poor but kind, surrounded by his unemployed father and mother, and two sets of bedridden grandparents. One day, he is invited to a mysterious chocolate factory run by Willy Wonka. When he enters the factory, he finds unimaginable sights, including Oompa Loompas and a river of chocolate.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the Chocolate Factory, made in 2005, is a fantastic fantasy filled with the ultimate surprises and delights of cinema. For a Tim Burton film, the usual cute and grotesque charm is somewhat subdued, and instead, the screen is filled with colorful whimsy. Therefore, whether you are a Burton fan or not, it is a film that a wide range of ages, from young children to adults, can fully immerse themselves in and enjoy with a smile on their face.

The original work is a hugely popular children's book by Roald Dahl, well known to everyone. Even if you have come across the story of "The Chocolate Factory" through the movie, if you read the original work again, you will understand how this book, published in 1964, is so eccentric, bizarre, and endlessly creative, and so addictive that it will grab you and keep you coming back for more.

Dahl, the original author, was not pleased with the 1971 version.

In fact, Tim Burton also encountered this book as a child and became a big fan. Later, in 1971, the original novel was made into a film called " The Chocolate Factory " by director Mel Stuart. Although it was not a big commercial success when it was released, its popularity gradually spread through TV broadcasts and video releases, and it eventually established an unshakable position as a classic fantasy.

This would seem like a welcome development for the original author, Dahl, but upon looking into various reactions, it appears that his reaction was actually the exact opposite.

There's a reason for this. In the 1971 version of the film, Dahl's name is credited not only as the original author but also as the screenwriter, but as the production process progressed, David Seltzer (who later became famous as the screenwriter of " The Omen " in 1976) was hired without credit and rewrote the script for the film.

Therefore, the story of this film is slightly different from the original. Furthermore, the so-called Hollywood style and development are prioritized in crucial parts, and the character of Willy Wonka played by Gene Wilder is a little calmer, more human, and less crazy than in the original.

As a result of this whole affair, Dahl himself seemed to feel that his vision for the book had been distorted, even though Dahl was almost never satisfied with the film adaptations of his own works during his lifetime.
