When I was a child, I fell in love with "chocolate" because of the movie " Charlie and the Chocolate Factory "
When I grew up watching this movie, I would feel differently. The film "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" was released in 2005 and is adapted from the children's novel of the world-renowned fantasy novelist Roald Dahl . It is deeply loved by children and adults around the world. In the past few decades, the novel has sold 13 million copies and has been translated into 32 languages.
movie takes the unique element of Western food culture as a medium, telling the story of the chocolate manufacturing king Willy Wonka in order to find a successor in his career, putting five chocolate gold coupons in the global market. Only those who are lucky enough to get the gold coupons can enter the chocolate factory completely isolated from the outside world. After entering, you can visit, play, and finally decide the winner of the grand prize based on your personal expression.
I still remember watching this movie when I was a child. Following the camera, we can see a world of chocolate, there are chocolate rivers, chocolate trees, chocolate grass, everything I see is made of chocolate. Every time I watch this movie, I will be hungry. "The San Francisco Chronicle" evaluates this movie: "The best Tim Burton work in recent years." Many people think this is a " children's film suitable for the whole family to watch", but the educational and critical meaning of this movie is still very strong.
Punisher and punished
movie revolves around punishment. Five children walked into the chocolate factory with the company of their parents, four of whom were spoiled and indulged by their parents. In the end, the parents could only watch their children suffer ruthless punishment for their willfulness. The only person treated well was the quiet Charlie. From the beginning, we knew that his family was in difficulties. His many questions strongly touched the heart of the chocolate king Willy Wonka. The two also had a lot in common. In the end, Charlie won the grand prize, but could not accept the request to stay away from his family and gave up the grand prize. Finally, Willy Wonka also woke up. With Charlie's help and encouragement, he returned to his long-lost home and met his father.
The movie tells the story between punishment and being punished. Willy Wonka's childhood was unfortunate because he could not even enjoy the chocolate and candy he liked. Because his father was a dentist. In order to give his son a mouthful of white and healthy teeth, he was forbidden from eating any sweets and brought him steel braces.
Willy Wonka was discovered by his father during a steal. Then he watched his candy thrown into the stove by his father. In fact, his father was not good to the child because he was too strict. This is an over-punishment. His father's approach will hurt the child's self-esteem and kill the child's love for candy, causing Willy Wonka to run away from home and the relationship between the father and son is broken.
Behavioralism psychology divides punishment into two types:
direct punishment and deprivation punishment
- stimulus used after the behavior to be suppressed or weakened is direct punishment;
- deprivation punishment is an act in which the stimulus is removed and the punishment is caused.
Comparison between the two, direct punishment is to slow down or terminate the behavior, while deprivation punishment is to reduce or remove something to reduce or weaken the behavior. European and American countries believe that appropriate and reasonable punishment is a simple and effective means of education and management, while excessive punishment is regarded as punishment. This is the difference between punishment and punishment.
From our literal Chinese meaning, punishment is composed of "punishment" and "precept". These two words represent the relationship between means and purpose. "punishment" means punishment, behavior and means, and "precept" means abstain from, prevent, and purpose.
. Punishment consists of "punishment" and "punishment". These two are parallel relationships, both of which are behaviors and means.
Punishment and punishment are the same, but there are essential differences. In layman's terms, punishment is for "quitting what", emphasizing the achievement of educational effects and purpose, while the "punishment" of punishment emphasizes the educational behavior itself, and the purpose is to let the punished person understand his mistakes and bear the consequences for the mistakes he has made.
Ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, whether in culture, region, or race, punishment has always been an indispensable link in family education and school education. The theme of punishment is also well reflected in the movie "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".
movies criticize human weaknesses. The five children who visited the factory, except Charlie, each of them has extreme weaknesses. Some of them are greedy and selfish, some are proud and conceited, and some are indifferent and ruthless. In order to enrich the characters in the film and make the content of the work more fulfilling and full, the director also introduced the other four children who won the gold coupon award in detail, described their daily lives, hobbies and family environment, and focused on expressing their personalities in the film, etc.
However, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is still a film full of family warmth. After all, the audience is children. Whether it is Charlie, Willy Wonka, or four children and parents, the love between family members always runs through the entire movie, because love makes Charlie's family live together for three generations, and even if they live in a poor hut, they will not be sad; it is also because love makes Charlie's parents bring back chocolate for Charlie on a snowy night; it is even more love makes Charlie give up the grand prize for his family.
Finally, because of love, let the four parents meet all the requirements of their children, and love also reunited Willy Wonka with his father.
In the gray town in the film, only the chocolate factory is the most dazzling among the many buildings. Although it looks unrestrained on the outside, there is a beautiful and sweet chocolate candy world inside the factory, which forms a strong contrast with the world outside the factory. Willy Wonka is a character who "punishes evil and promotes good" in the movie, but unlike other fantasy film and television art works, the character Willy Wonka also verifies the statement that "hateful people must have pitiful things". Although he runs the chocolate factory that others dream of, his world is not sweet.
When leading people to visit the factory, he always destroys many beautiful things and turns them into the most terrifying nightmare. Children he doesn't like will also encounter all kinds of unlucky things. The originally beautiful and wonderful journey has also become a bit "thrilling and terrifying" by some of his deliberate arrangements.
But at the end of the film, we will also find that Willy Wonka is the kind character who truly belongs to the fantasy story.
movie criticizes the way parents educate their children, so adults who watch movies should also be inspired, not only four children, but even Willy Wonka is a victim of failed education. Among these families, Charlie's family education is the most successful. Although parents cannot satisfy their children's material life, they remember their children's birthday every year, and they will communicate well with their children, care for their children in their own way, and bring them a precious and happy childhood.
At the same time, children who grow up in such an educational environment will also know how to treat their parents well and love others.
Money and material things are secondary. The important thing is to educate children to understand emotions and be loving.
"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is loved by the audience for a profound reason. It criticizes modern industrial civilization, various weaknesses of mankind, and some wrong educational methods in a vivid and profound way.
I believe that those who watch the movie will receive certain inspiration. This is a warm story. Through a magical journey full of magic, it reveals what the film wants to express, money and skills can get what you want, but not simply happiness.
