‘Every dream starts with a single step.Don’t be afraid to take it,even if the path isn’t clear.Trust yourself,and the way will unfold’.In my view,not only is it essential to have a dream,but also enjoy its every single step,although its way will be challenging.Having a dream is a clear demonstration to be lived,no matter if they are little or extremely difficult,the most significant is to struggle them.To Willy Wonka,his dream started with a sweat step.
Wonka is a musical and comedy film.As it is highly knowledge,Willy Wonka is a central character in the film of Charlie and the Chocolate factory,which I wrote in a previous review.This film was directed by Paul King in 2023.Many people claim that a reboot will hardly ever have any success due to the lack of originality,although it isn’t the case.Added to that,Wonka received positive reviews,which generated great grossing worldwide and some relevant nominations.It is worth highlighting that despite Wonka is a comedy film and especially from Children's public,I also must make clear that Wonka handles during its plot some controversial topics,like classism,capitalism,prejudice,discrimination among others.
This magical story begins with Willy Wonka,who is a chocolatier invertor.His dreams is being the most famous chocolater maker and opens up his own shop.Wonka arrives at Galeries Gourmet to achieve his goal.One day,while he is doing a demonstration,he shows his magical 'hoverchocs’ to the citizens.Apart from its yummy taste,these products make people fly and he immediatelly gets an amazing success.Yet,the three corrupt businessmen in this gallery confiscated the idea and Wonky is in bankruptcy.As a result,Wonka has to sleep in the street,unfortunately he meets Bleacher (Tom Davis) who invites to stay in a weird hostel.There,Bleacher and Mrs.Scrubitt (Olivia Colman) ,the owner to the hostel,cheat Wonka,and he ends owing many years for working.Yet,here,Wonky finds great friends (Noodle,Crunch,Piper,Larry and Lottie) who go through the same punishment than Wonka but they help him to achieve his dream.
Wonka is a bright and delighful movie from start to finish.Full of music,wonder and questioning of the social order.To my mind,Wonka is a very welcome reboot from the unforgettable film Charlie and the Chocolate factory.
...Don’t let anyone steal your dream,it’s your dream,not theirs…
