Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

L

Hey Everyone !!! Happy Thursday, I hope you all are doing well and having a great day!! 

I have decided to write about the movie Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory. It’s one of my favorite movies.

It starts off with Charlie Bucket who is a poor paperboy, he passes Willy’s chocolate factor and the tinker that works there tells him no one ever comes in or out of the factory.

Charlie makes it home his grandparents live with him , his grandpa Joe tells him he worked for Wonka, he tells him that Wonka has shut down the factory due to espionage from rival confectioners.

 Production resumed three years later, and the new workers are unknown, the factory remained closed to the public. 

Willy announces that there is a contest being launched, hidden among five out of billions of Wonka’s chocolate bars are five golden tickets 🎫 .

The  big prize is whoever finds the tickets will receive a lifetime supply of chocolate and get to visit Mr. Wonka’s long isolated factory for a free tour. 

Once everyone hears about this the whole world goes crazy, with Wonka chocolates being sold out at almost every store, the first Golden ticket is found by a gluttonous greedy German boy named August Gloop.

The second is found by a spoiled ,immature little girl named Veruca Salt, whose father utilized his peanut factory workers to open Wonka bars from dawn until dusk. 

The third ticket is found by a girl named Violet who is an avid gum chewer ,having chewed a piece of gum for three months straight to achieve a world record, the fourth ticket is found by a boy named Mike Teevee who is obsessed with guns and televisions particularly westerns , a mysterious man always shows up and whispers into the ticket winner’s ears, while the children are claiming the tickets in turn, and the adults go to crazy lengths to find the tickets on their own.

 Charlie spends one night wondering around Town thinking what will happen if he misses out, Grandpa Joe uses all of his tobacco money to buy two Wonka bars one at a time for Charlie, neither one contains a ticket, the wonderful bond he has with his grandpa is all the stronger for that.

 Finally a Paraguayan television network announces that a millionaire living in the Andes has claimed the fifth ticket , with all the tickets gone and no more to hunt for the world gets back to normal.

 Charlie is heartbroken about the Chance he missed , he goes to school the next day doing his best to put it all behind him, he is on his way to deliver papers he finds some some money in a storm drain next to the candy shop.

He fishes the money out and goes to buy Wonka chocolates including a regular Wonka bar as he goes to claim his papers to start his route.

 He hears commotion over a headline FiFTH TICKET FRAUD, while the adults are talking about  the fraud Charlie starts to unwrap slowly the Wonka bar he bought and finds the fifth golden ticket.

Charlie’s discovery excites and electrifies the town folk, one of their own has claimed the genuine fifth ticket , people are trying to get the ticket from him or buy it from Charlie is excited about seeing the factory and having a lifetime supply of chocolate.

 Mr. Joepeck helps Charlie still holding the ticket tells him to run home and not stop until he gets home which Charlie does very happily, as Charlie is almost home he runs into the man who has put himself in all the other celebrations though Charlie isn’t media savvy he doesn’t know about it, he introduces himself as Arthur Slugworth, and offers Charlie a 10,000 dollar stock certificates if he will quietly abstract from the factory a secret prototype recipe of an Everlasting Gobstopper formula.

 Charlie rushes the rest of the way home and announces his find, Grandpa Joe reads the ticket terms which says the tour is October 1st, which is the next day, the holder of the ticket may bring one family member as a chaperone.

Charlie decides to bring his Grandpa Joe, who happily agrees and manages to get out of bed for the first time in 20 years, the next morning the town puts on a celebration with a band to see the opening of the factor doors promptly at ten o’clock the doors open . 

Out walks Willy Wonka he is leaning heavily on a cane and follows the pathway to the pavement ,  he gets to the end of the path and leaves his cane behind stuck into the ground , and then he leans over about to fall , he does a somersault leading into the adventure that follows.

He calls the ticket holders to step forward Veruca salt insists on going first though hers was the second ticket the other kids don’t care what Order they go in through .

the kids introduce themselves and Wonka greets them and this parents , for the girls their fathers, for Augusts and Mike their mothers and grandpa Joe, Wonka leads them all inside, he asks the kids to first sign a contract with print that starts out large and ends in being very small, the kids have signed the contract and the tour begins the first stop is the chocolate room which includes a candy land with a river of chocolate and other sweets 🍭, the visitors meet Wonka’s workers who are orange and short they are Oompa Loompas . 

You will find out how Wonka came upon them when you watch the movie, the tour that is going on one by one the kids fall into temptation that play upon their most profound weaknesses of character Augusts falls into a river of chocolate and gets sucked in an extractor pipe , they go on Wonka’s boat ride through a dark tunnel and visit an inventing room where Violet starts chewing on a prototype experimental piece of gum that isn’t finished yet, it’s supposed to have the taste of a three course meal, with blueberry pie for desert she is transformed into a talking blueberry .

Veruca the selfish girl falls through an educated Egg -dictator which can tell the difference between good eggs and bad eggs, all the bad eggs go down the garbage chute that’s where Veruca went and her father follows her down, Mike is impressed by Wonka’s new invention called Wonka vision which can shrink down giant Wonka bars and transmit them through television.

 Mike goes through it and ends up reduced into a little tiny person about a twelfth of his normal size, Charlie and his grandpa give into temptation in between the girls mishaps they sample fizzy drinks and float up a chimney, they risk running into a exhaust fan, they manage to burp their way down and rejoin the others, it’s the end of the tour.

 Wonka thanks Charlie and his grandpa for coming and heads into his office you’ll have to see the movie to see what his office looks like, his grandpa Joe asks Willy about the lifetime supply of chocolate the ticket promised Wonka tells Joe that Charlie disqualified himself  by stealing fizzy drinks which violates the contract.

 Grandpa Joe becomes angry at Wonka he suggests to Charlie to give slugworth the prototype Gobstopper as revenge Charlie can’t bring himself to hurt Wonka intentionally, he approaches Wonka one last time and sets the candy on his desk, Wonka joyfully declares Charlie has won the contest, he reinstated the chocolate prize and reveals slugworth is his employee of his named Mr.Wilkinson the offer to buy the Gobstopper was a morality test for the kids which only Charlie passed.

 The rest of the movie Is really good and has a very happy ending, I decided to write about this movie because I love the story , and I also really love chocolate and I like how the characters are written in the story and how they are portrayed , Charlie is my favorite character in the story because he reminds me of myself, his kind and friendly personality and his love for his family.  

The moral of the story is hard work pays off, That is something my grandfather always told me hard work pays off. I want you all to know that the hard work that you all do will pay off and you will be blessed In the end. 

Also people have mentioned that I have a heart of gold, I believe that to be true, because

I am Honest and not greedy, the characters who are greedy and selfish do not fare as well as Charlie. 

Another important lesson in the movie is honesty is the best policy,  the characters who are honest and truthful get rewarded.  I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to a have a good laugh and watch a nice story .
