Charlie and the chocolate factory
If you read the book about Charlie and the chocolate
factory, then watch the film, you will find some differences between them. I
will tell you some of them that I found while reading/watching the book/film.
the first thing I noticed was that he found 10 dollars in the movie, instead of 50 pence in the book. This may shows that the movie is recorded in America?
when he goes to the nearest shop to buy himself one of wonka’s chocolate, he gets the golden ticket on the first chocolate. In the book the needs to buy two chocolates to get the golden ticket, and in the book it says there were many people that gathered around him to see the ticket and buy it, but in the film it was only two persons around him.
When he gets home to show the ticket to his family, he first want to sell it to get money to the family, but in the book they don’t say anything about selling it.

One of the most interesting things is that wonka’s
father is in the movie, he is a dentist but has lost his contact with willy
wonka since he was a child. His father doesn’t exist in the book at all! Its
very strange why… I can’t understand why his father isn’t in the book, I mean
its good to know a little about willy wonka’s life in the past and not just
about Charlie and his family.
the time period is different to, in the movie they show kids playing tv-games and people driving cars (Volvo 740) wich is sold between 1985-1992. So the movie must be around 1990.
in the book Charlie found a 50 pence NOTE, the notes were made to 1969 then it became coins. The chocolate bar was also cheaper in the book, it was cheaper in the 60s than it was in the 90s. So the book must be set in the 1940-60s.
then there is one more thing I noticed when I was watching, the narrator in the film was a umpa lumpa, you will know that in the end of the film, but in the book there is a third person narrator.

So we can clearly see that there is some differences
between the film and the book. But they are still quite the same so there is no
‘’big’’ changes you will find if you don’t look very hard.
