This is the first scene after entering the factory. The place seems to be a fairyland, the trees, and apples are made of candy. The river and the waterfall are chocolate. Everything here is edible.

The scene of the little girl blowing bubbles is perfectly blended with a colorful factory.

Due to the greed of the fat kid who eats greedily. He ate so much in the factory that he wanted to stuff the whole factory into his mouth. But due to his carelessness, he accidentally fell into the river of coquille and was sucked away by the huge machine. So the first fat kid was eliminated.

Essay

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory(2005)

The movie tells the story of Charlie is a good little boy, including Charlie, five lucky children won the golden ticket, and get to visit a chocolate factory full of mystery qualifications. So several children came to this has been 15 years no one has come to the eccentric factory, to participate in a mysterious and mysterious adventure ......
The entire film has a smooth sense of design is also reflected in the shaping of the film environment. The opening chocolate production line is a combination of magical imagination and technological reality, in my opinion, is the first hint of the style of this work, so that as the story unfolds, from the very beginning the ice cream will not melt to the final flying elevator will seem less abrupt, to create this real fairy tale stage, so that the increasingly magical plot unfolded as if a little normal while allowing a lot less shot design on the trouble.
The film is a film of high color contrast and saturation, his colorful, better to create the colorful feeling of a fairy tale. He plays with all the colors in the film, presenting the greedy dreams and selfishness of human nature in the different levels of elimination. In the portrayal of Charlie's family environment, the use of a large area of dark, Yuk yellow light and Tu Lou's simple environment in the spray fish environment bring more into the scene, to appreciate the Charlie family life down, at this time, the dark and later Charlie took over the factory bright and light produced a sharp contrast.
