today i watched charlie & the chocolate factory with my youngest sister & 5-year old brother. it was nice to know that they have not altered the story of the original willy wonka & the chocolate factory and just used better special effects. it's a really good movie that teaches a lot of moral values. however, i think the lessons to be learned from this movie was too much for my brother to digest because he became scared of what happened to the "bad" children. although kyle is an exceptionally smart kid, he is still having a hard time separating the ghastly punishment given between the real lesson behind why this happened. perhaps we should consider the age or level of maturity of a chlid first before we let him see the movie, so that he can properly learn from the lessons from the movie.

Willy Wonka and the chocolte Company Rocked my childhood movie-watching world. But yes, i would understand how kyle felt... As awed as I am of the movie, it also left me a creepy feeling that until now I still don't understand. Hmm. Mapanood nga din pag may DVD copies na...for the closure and for the fun.
