This movie is based upon a children's book, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, a wonderful children's author responsible for many other stories such as The BFG, James & The Giant Peach & Danny, The Champion of the World (a bit of a favourite of mine). His stories were never straight forward and always involved some slightly subversive elements, which is part of what made them great stories. I read quite a few of them as a boy. The story involves a young boy called Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore) who lives with his parents and all four grandparents in one tiny little broken down shack. His family are extremely poor and they struggle to have enough food to eat. His grandparents share one big bed and rarely venture from it. One of his grandparents, Grandpa Joe (David Kelly who some may recognise from Fawlty Towers) used to work at the huge chocolate factory in the same town, owned by the mysterious and reclusive Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp). The factory was closed down many years before after many of Wonka's secret recipes for chocolate were stolen. The factory has since been reopened and has been operating, manned entirely by an immigrant workforce, the Oompa-Loompas (Deep Roy), a race of very small people. Now, Wonka has decided to invite five children to his factory for one day, with one of them to receive a prize beyond their imagination at the end of the day. In order to decide which children will be invited, he hides 5 golden invitations in 5 of his chocolate bars. Whoever finds the invitation can visit the factory. The five tickets are found by Augustus Gloop, an overeating German boy, Violet Beauregarde, a gum chewing and annoying American, Veruca Salt, a spoilt, rich English girl, Mike Teavee, a television addicted scientific genius and Charlie, who finds the final ticket. The children and one member of their family (Charlie takes Grandpa Joe) arrive at the factory on the appointed day to be ushered into the weird and wonderful world of Willy Wonka and his Oompa-Loompas.
