Title: Marred by Burton's Obsession With Psychology
Review: Visually, this film is wonderful, and it has many fine moments, right up until the very end.In the novel and in the original film, Wonka sees and appreciates Charlie's good heart and his love of family. When Charlie wins, he excitedly invites both Charlie and his family to live with him, no questions asked.The whole point of the original novel and movie is to show Charlie's big heartedness.True to form, Burton throws in his own dark, twisted touch; he gets hung up on the idea of Wonka as a socially maladjusted wierdo. In Burton's vision, Wonka can't comprehend Charlie's love of family.The story isn't supposed to be about Wonka, but about Charlie's big heart.
