Review by Michael DeZubiria,

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a truly magnificent piece of
filmmaking and remains one of the most fascinating and wonderful adventure
films ever made. One of the things that makes this film so intriguing is
that it could have been made at any time.  Watching it again last night, I
had convinced myself that it was made sometime in the early to mid 80s, and
I was shocked to find out that this year is the movie's 34 year anniversary=
.
At any rate, Willy Wonka is a tremendously imaginative and inspiring film.
It's a family film, but one of the most important aspects of a family film
is that it has to be enjoyable for a variety of ages.  The makers of Willy
Wonka and the Chocolate Factory understood this very well, and you can see
that just by the way that the cast is divided. Here are all of these kids
(funny how it was only kids who found those golden tickets=8A) who were at
this candy factory, and they had each elected to bring one of their parents
with them as the one admissible member of their family who was allowed by
Wonka to accompany them to the factory.
One of the best elements of this film is the excellently written script and=
,
even more, the songs.  They are not just songs about the candy-making geniu=
s
of Willy Wonka or the excitement of being able to tour his mysterious
factory, but they are about life in the real world. They're about believing
in yourself and being motivated in life (`Anything you want to, do it. Want
to change the world, there's nothing to it=8A'), but there are also some that
have to do mostly with the movie but are still just as enjoyable, such as
the classic song that Wonka sings in the tunnel on board his boat (curiousl=
y
named `Wonkatania'), which was creepily covered by Marilyn Manson a couple
of decades later.=20
The dialogue in the film contains some of the most interesting little
tidbits in the entire movie. Wonka's lines, in particular, are wonderfully
strange and amusing (`A little nonsense now and then is cherished by the
wisest men.'). He is a truly eccentric and fascinating man, and Gene Wilder
captures the character flawlessly, as he delivers the lines from the
brilliantly written script. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is one of
those rare movies that comes along and completely changes the way that
fantasy films are made. It's all about having fun in life and being hopeful
against all odds and, most of all, being able to have fun in life. There ar=
e
times when you have to let things go for a while and just act like a kid.
Eat candy, run around and play, steal fizzy lifting drinks and bump into th=
e
ceiling that now has to be washed and sterilized, it doesn't matter as long
as no one's looking. That's such a trivial little quirk of Wonka's that it
becomes obvious that the movie is trying to say that it's okay to break the
rules every once in a while. Have fun in life.
Besides being absolutely mouth-watering, the movie is an uplifting adventur=
e
that warms the heart and sends people of all ages away with fairy tale
candies dancing in their heads and wonderful songs just behind their lips.
It is an always-welcome vacation from reality for people of all ages, and i=
t
should always be remembered and loved for that. This movie will ALWAYS be a
must-see.=20
