Childhood


I went to the cinema last night to see the new CHarlie and the Chocolate Factory movie. It was fab. As soon as the film started I felt as if I had been transported back to when I was 10 and reading the books. The 'fuzziness' was there inside me and I wanted to tour around the factory also. I wanted to cry and cheer for Charlie all the way through the film and howled at the wonderful portrayal of all the other children...they were very similar to how I'd imagined them to be in a film. It was great to see kids in the cinema cheering Charlie along and actually clapping at the movie when it had finished. I hope that this will inspire them to go home and read or re-read the books.
Go see the movie if you haven't; it's well worth it!
