Charlie And The Chocolate Factory Online Free

By Amy Wagner

The 1964 classic 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' by Roald Dahl has been adapted into a film by Tim Burton. The film falls into the genre of fantasy and appeals to the children and adults alike. Audience favorite Johnny Depp is Willy Wonka while Freddie Highmore plays the role of Charlie Bucket.

The film revolves around a young boy who is really going through a bad phase. He belongs to an impoverished family which includes his father, mother and four sick grand parents. The family lacks in money but not in love for each other. In the same town there was a chocolate factory owned by the bizarre minded Willy Wonka. One day Willy makes an announcement that he has hidden 5 golden tickets in the Wonka bars. The five children who get those tickets will tour the chocolate factory and one lucky winner will win a special prize.

Charlie was really lucky as he found the fifth ticket in one of the Wonka bars. He chose his Grandpa Joe to be with him inside the factory. Joe used to work with the factory before it hit rough weather. So the four winners, Charlie and Grandpa Joe enter the factory for the journey of a lifetime.

Charlie was pretty well behaved throughout the tour but the same cannot be said of the other children. They were very naughty and the inevitable happened. Those four were politely shown the door by Willy and Charlie became the winner of the surprise prize - they keys to the chocolate factory. Initially Charlie refused the prize as he was not in favor of staying separate from his family. Wonka too understood how he himself has missed his family while he was too busy with the chocolate factory. He understood that Charlie is the right person to take care of the chocolate factory. On realizing this he allowed Charlie to bring his entire family inside the premises. So we get a wonderful story with a very happy ending.

The film is a big hit with the children. After a long time the children has some good movie to look forward to. We can safely say that despite the insipid performance by Johnny Depp the film manages to set the cash registers ringing. Depp should have given a much better performance but he looks totally disinterested for the better part of the movie.

Among the performances, the less said about Johnny Depp the better. Is he the same Johnny from the Pirates of the Caribbean series? His acting so pathetic that you may be tempted to think that he was not paid at all for this movie! Freddie Highmore as Charlie Bucket, however, proves a better actor than Depp, at least in this movie.

This is a great movie which you should never miss. You can watch Charlie and the Chocolate factory online free without the hassles of renting a DVD or going to the nearest theater.
