Looking at this assignment I wanted to look up and see the different kinds of movies out there that were remade. The most movies that were remade were horror movies (of course) but some were old family movies. Freaky Friday, the Parent Trap, and the Karate Kid. Another family movie that is one of my favorites is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The movies are based off of the great book that I read as a child by Roald Dahl. It was my favorite book to read and the old movie gave the book justice (seeing how Mr. Dahl wrote the screenplay). The original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was made in 1971 which was directed by Mel Stewart. This movie is a very colorful and goes with the book. I remember as a child watching this movie and there would be some slow parts where you wanted him to go and you knew he was going but it took time to get to that part.



The movie poster speaks for itself. It is colorful and fun. From looking at it you can see Violet as a big giant blueberry. There is lots of color and creative picks from the movie that makes anyone want to see it. The second movie poster that I found has Willy Wonka almost juggling all the children that won the golden tickets. Its not as colorful as the first one but puts into the minds of people how fun and interesting the movie is. The remade movie was renamed Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was directed by Tim Burton in 2001 so it was a major turn around from the first. The bubble room wasnt in the second movie remake but it was very colorful then the first one and it was very interesting all the way up to the end. You had a look into Willy Wonka's life on how he had an obsession with candy. It went deeper then the first and was very interesting. It wasn't like the book at all which was sad but it was better in my book. Like all of Tim Burton's movies it was dark with a fun colorful turn around. The movie posters show you the major difference in the movies. The first one I found was just of Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. He is brightly dressed with the known cane and top hat. It just doesn't show the other people in the movie and what it is about. The second that I found is with all the children and Willy Wonka. It shows all the children with what they are good at and then there is Charlie standing next to Willy Wonka. There are many candy related things in the poster bordering the whole thing. It looks like candy cane trees and then there is the ever famous chocolate river as well. Between the two seeing the second one you will definitely know what the movie is about and what you are going to see. The first one is very dramatic and if the title wasn't there you wouldn't really know what the movie was about. These movies are both great movies and totally different from the years they are made.
