At Film Club we watched Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory
This is a scrumdidelyumtious film. Charlie bucket is a poor boy whilst everyone in his class can buy things from the sweet shop. He lives in a shack on the side of the city a couple of miles away from willy wonka's chocolate factory. It has been closed for 3 years and no one has ever gone in and no one has ever come out. Someone must be helping Mr.Wonka but who?
Charlie gets a wonka's bar for his birthday. He doesn't get any tickets and the 5th was found but it turns out it was fake. Does he get one? I enjoyed the film very much. I think the main colour is, well, I think it is all the vibrant colours and brown. Also, I preferred the old version of Charlie and the chocolate factory more than the new one. In my opinion, the new version of Wonka is like the devil of willy Wonka. He is spooky and doesn't look exiting at all.
I would recommend it for 5 and over because the spoilt children get punished and the ompa loompas look a bit frightening
