Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Tuesday night I went with some friends to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a movie by Tim Burton, with Johnny Depp in the cast.
This is not properly the kind of movie I normally watch. One of my friends would say my standard movies include teenagers. Well, normally it includes girls. Looking to the genre, normally I watch comedy and adventure.
This movie is a Fantasy in the first place, although IMDB says Adventure, Comedy and Family first. You can't watch it as a real history, nor a sci-fi one. It is fantasy from the beginning to the end of the movie. But it includes jokes as well, and is suitable for all the family. Just can't see where is the adventure.
Finally, Jonnhy Depp resembles me of Michael Jackson in this movie. To invite children to visit his factory is... erm... that.
The weird thing is: lots of people asked Depp whether he'd inspired himself in Michael for his role (this is true). Depp said no, and that he didn't understand why people would think that.
Not having seen the movie, I really don't know why people think that, but maybe that's it... inviting little kids to his place... O:-)
