Have i ever..

Have i ever told you folks the reason behind my affinity for Tim Burton's movies, esp the recent Charlie and the Chocolate factory?

For the sake of a online post I have read in a random blog, I share my fondness.

In my own simple context , of course :

" There is a man named Charlie. He has a beautiful factory. Everyone is awed. Everyone wants a piece of it. However, Charlie refuses to open his gates for anyone. No one knows the reason behind his eccentricities. No one knows exactly why he coops himself alone in his lavish factory.

One day, he braces himself. Opening his gate, just enough to let five children in. It is diffcult for him. He never know how to deal with people. To him, its something frightening.

As the five kids roam in his beautiful factory. His alter ego starts to appear before him again. He is fazed. He thought his alter ego has long died within him a long time ago. He was wrong.

The five kids unleash all ugliness in him and his factory. His factory and himself are not flawless. They are merely mean machines.

Each and every kid eke a part of Charlie that he wants to forget.

Charlie got angry with the kids. For showing him things that he never wanted to be reminded of.

He tries to get rid of all of them.

Eventually, he realises , rather than cooping hinself in his beautiful factory, facing up to himself is the best remedy.

The magic of Tim Burton is his success in directing this movie. Roald Dahl had this fable behind the children story. Like the Wizard of Oz and Alice in wonderland, not many see the pun in this unrealistic tale.

its a feat for an avid book reader , to be touched by a movie , that has been adapted from a book.
