Sweet journey: Willy Wonka and "Chocolate Factory". Actors and roles.

Every child, and an adult, too, dreams of being in the world of the sweetest dream. There, where the leaves on the trees are chocolate, and the rivers are dairy. Someone calls this place paradise, and others - a chocolate factory, where an amazing man works, producing the best in the world of chocolate. If you're lucky enough to get here on an excursion, then you can not imagine a dream. Who implemented the story "Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory"? Actors probably were happy to return to the dream of childhood!

String

There is a large confectionery factory, whose products inspire all the sweet tooth of the world. And now a contest has been announced, according to the terms of which five lucky ones who have found golden tickets in chocolate can get to the factory and enjoy its gifts. One of the lucky ones is Charlie's boy from a very poor family who can not even accumulate a simple candy. His ticket is luck, but at the factory the other guys begin to disappear. Can Charlie take the tour to the end?

About the film

Visualizing the story of "Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory", the actors pretty much tried and dribbled under a complex makeup, because the film is on a very fine line with the cartoon. This is an instructive and kind history, ideal for family viewing. Filming of the film was in London, and the occasion for work was a children's book of 1964 by Roald Dahl. There are two screen versions, but the most popular was the second, where Willy Wonka played Johnny Depp. The first screen version is called "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory".

Actors and roles

The main actor in the first screen version became Gene Wilder, who at the time of filming was 38 years old. His father was a Jewish emigrant from Russia, and the real name given at birth was Jerome Silberman. The film turned out to be musical and received for this nomination for "Oscar", as well as the "Golden Globe" for Best Actor Wilder.

Today's viewer is unlikely to understand the film "Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory." Actors, of course, play well, but here the general atmosphere seems, to put it mildly, strange. Willy here seems almost a maniac, crazy in his business. The image of the secretive and vulnerable confectioner with the mask of eternal happiness was forgotten and, according to the viewers, Wilder did not draw the role. It can not be said that other actors showed themselves better. Chocolate Factory Willy Wonka collected very unpleasant characters, where Violet was not just a perfectionist, but a man with a terrible megalomania, and Veruca - a cynical blackmailer. Even Charlie performed by Peter Ostrum does not seem to be a nice and kind boy. Alas, the first version of the film did not become a favorite with children, but the second version showed all the beauty of the author's fairy tale.

Together with Tim Burton

Burton's films already a priori suggest a role for Johnny Depp, and this is by no means a bad thing. Depp fit perfectly into Tim's version of the chocolate factory and embodied the role of an eccentric but very good pastry-maker. Willy Wonka from Depp is a boy who was raised by a despotic father who forbade simple childish joys.

In an interview, Depp said that his Wonka would be a symbiosis of Howard Hughes and a glam rock star of the 70s.

The role of Father Willy was written specifically for the film to give a little history of the confectioner's childhood. It was Johnny Depp who brought the role of Charlie Bucket - Freddie Highmore - to the film. Depp himself explains his insistent proposal with Freddie's stunning play in "The Magic Country."

Faces and characters

So, do the actors in the movie "Chocolate Factory" remember? Willy Wonka, skillfully played by Depp, liked the audience at the expense of ideal teeth, laconic, but slightly crazy style in clothes and a very original style of communication. Depp Willy is often embarrassed, but always keeps himself in control, but Willy Wilder can slightly scare the audience with his strange smile and shock curly hair, so that the hero looks like a clown.

Charlie in the first screen version - Peter Ostrum - at the time of filming was a guy of 14 years. Perhaps that is why his hero came out more adult than in the version of Freddie Highmore.

Charlie's parents were Noah Taylor and Helena Bonham Carter. Grandfathers and grandmothers of the boy were played by David Kelly, Eileen Esseeth, David Morris and Liz Smith. In the first screen version, Charlie's family was not shown completely, but the audience remembered Jack Albertson as Joe's grandfather.

"Children outplayed adults"

Critics just said this about the second adaptation, implying that the children's roles are spelled out much wider than those of the same Willy Wonka. Burton got a truly magical chocolate factory Willy Wonka. Actors and roles harmoniously united into a single whole. The spectators stubbornly associated with the actor Philippe Vigraz, and the daughter of the millionaire Veruca Sol was as negative as the young Julia Winter, who played it. Ambiguous character - athlete Violeta Borigard - suppressed others with her pressure. By the way, actress Anna-Sofia Robb is very similar to her predecessor, Dennes Nickerson!

The last guy is the computer genius Mike Tivi, who won the ticket because of a simple calculation. His role was played by Jordan Fry. In the film adaptation of Mel Stewart, this role was played by Paris Temmen.
