Rebekah Cook - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Learning about ways to analyze films for religious elements can change the perspective of any film.  One that I recently realized has similar elements to that of the Decalogue episodes is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  The Decalogue is a dramatization of the Ten Commandments and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory also dramatizes some life lessons.  The five kids enter Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory and soon the viewer learns that each come from very different backgrounds and all have very different personalities.  Some are bratty and some are disobedient, and in the end Charlie ends up being the only one left because he was the only one who was others-minded.
