hmm.
claudine here.
ade has been nagging at me to blog like my mum nags at me to clear my table.
so...
i shall...
blog about.........
i shall blog about what i watched yesterday!
i watched.
charlie and the chocolate factory.
another show in which johnny depp gave a flawless performance.
totally couldn't tell it was him, although at some points, like when he frowned i could see him.
but i have issues with the show itself.
when i watched it, i got the impression that willy wonka was a highly disturbed man who had a slightly sadistic nature. he seemed to enjoy watching the nasty but nonetheless poor children get...distorted.
in the book they said he was crying out, and wringing his hands etc, but in the movie, he would SAY and give that giggle(amusing or annoying, haven't decided yet.), like he
wanted them to do wrong, like when that gum girl ate the gum.
but, if there was no book, and if i had no preconceived notion of what it should have been like, i would have loved it. though if i was a mother i would most likely bar my children from watching it.
but i am NOT!!! so YAY FOR CATCF. can catch slight hints of tim burton's personality in it.
this movie is supposedly a happy-ish sort, so in the front i thought the opening should have been more cheerful and whatnot, but it was something like the opening of sweeney todd.
and there was the burning of the dolls. i meant something else could have happened, like a small explosion could have sent willy wonka flying on to the ground(unscathed), but noo, the dolls had to be set on fire, and they had to melt grotesquely. it was funny in a sick sort of way.
so, show is a no no for innocent youngsters, but if you're like me you'de probably enjoy it.
i have a feeling that this movie's poking fun at...someone or something i don't know what.
and anyway, the book is a bad influence!!!! i was reading it one day, and i happened to be chewing gum. then my mum called me out for dinner, so being the ding dong that i was(i was p3) i copied violet and stuck my gum behind my ear.
needless to say, the stupid gum couldn't stick and ended up sticking to my hair. i was yelling and pulling like mad but it was stuck!! in th end my mum cut off my hair. boo. so awful man.
hey look at that i blogged. 3 cheers for claudine
