Unwrapping the Wonka Bar Vol. 1 - Where is Charlie’s Town Located? Part 2

If you haven’t read the previous post, click here for Part 1 to make sure you are caught up to speed. If you’re already read the previous post, then welcome back and let’s get back to the show!

Exhibit #1: Tim Burton Didn’t Understand Roald Dahl’s True Work and Vision

Before we start, I need to make it clear that I am not here to trash Tim Burton or his vision, without him we would not even have a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to love and break down. Yet, with that said, it also needs to be said that Burton failed to comprehend the original source material, but I am also here to say that that is not entirely his fault. In the behind-the-scenes material mentioned previously, Burton mentions that he reread the original book by Roald Dahl to better understand the story of the film he was working on, which is something that should be commended. However, something that needs to be stated is that both Tim Burton and screenwriter John August, who it makes sense also read the Dahl book before writing the script, are Americans, which means that there is a good chance they read a copy of the book sold in the United States. It makes sense that one day they each would have sent one of their assistants down to Barnes and Nobles to pick of a copy of Roald Dahl’s most famous work so that they could begin reading it and thus could be best prepared to work on this new film adaptation. But that scenario also implies a certain reality, that Burton and August read American-published versions of the book, meaning that the filmmakers did not truly understand what Roald Dahl’s vision was.

Now, why would it matter if the books Burton and August read from were American-published copies, shouldn’t the material all be the same since Dahl wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in English? You would think so, but to better appeal to the local culture, especially when it comes to material aimed primarily at children, it is quite common for publishers to amend the original works they publish to reflect the dialects spoken in their markets. The result of this practice means that books like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory underwent minor, but in some ways major, changes in the form of diction when it came to publishing the book outside the United Kingdom. In order so that Americans, primarily American children, can both better relate to the characters and in some cases simply follow the plot, American publishers have amended Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’s British terminology and replaced them with common American phrases.

The most obvious example of this change comes in the form of the term “lift” being changed to “elevator” in American publications of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

As you can see, the term “lift” is used to describe the Great Glass Elevator, with even the name of Willy Wonka’s contraption having originally been the “Great Glass Lift” only to get turned into the “Great Glass Elevator” in the American edition.

This simple process of changing certain words but keeping the rest of the text intact is evidently clear by comparing how literally similar, but culturally different, the two previous images of text are, but it is also far from the last example of such a change. Another significant change made for the American publication was the value and, more importantly, the name of the currency Charlie finds on the street that he then uses to purchase the Wonka Bar with his Golden Ticket inside.

In the original British version, Charlie finds “fifty-pence” while outside.

Whereas in the American edition, our Lucky Boy finds himself a whole “dollar” that he quickly spends at a local store, and the rest is history.

Now, both versions cannot be canonically correct, so when in doubt its best to rely on the oldest version to best grasp the message the author hoped to convey. And since the author was a British man writing to a British audience, the logical answer is to say that the original British edition is what Roald Dahl had in mind when it came to describing the town that Charlie and the rest of the residents inhabit. And so, with all of this said, it is quite clear that Roald Dahl’s vision when it came to Charlie’s town was not that it was a location with “an American sensibility and a British sensibility,” and so we have no choice to say but that Tim Burton did not truly understand the work he was trying to adapt for the big screen, and so this misunderstanding helps explain why Charlie’s town is such a confusing location. But even though we disproved Burton’s thesis for the location of Charlie’s town, that does not mean that we now have a location for the town, and for that we will need to continue our analysis of the film.

That’s it for Part 2, click here for Part 3 where we begin our analysis of the demographics of Charlie’s town and discuss what they tell us about where he is from.

Mission Statement and First Post for Unwrapping the Wonka Bar Vol. 1 - Where is Charlie’s Town Located? Part 1

The beloved 2005 film, Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, turns 18 years old this July, and with such a long history the film has amassed a massive fan following over the years. In fact, the film is so old that many of the fans who watched the film as kids are now parents themselves and will be showing the film to their kids in just a few years, if not right now. And even more existentially frightening for all you Late Millennials and Gen Zers reading this post is the fact that the five lucky kids cast as the Golden Ticket winners are, as of the moment of publication, 29 and 30 years old. I will give you some time to come to terms with this realization for it is a hard pill to swallow for many.

But when it comes to such a storied legacy, it only makes sense that fans of this film might have many questions about the story rattling around in their minds, but with such a long time between when the film first premiered to the present, have no one to offer up a thoughtful response. Well, if this sounds like you, it is my pleasure to announce today, February 1st, the same day in which Charlie Bucket and the rest of the Golden Ticket winners set foot inside Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, the first installment of a new series which asks the questions Charlie and the Chocolate Factory fans have asked for over a decade and a half and offers up a response backed with unbelievably detailed amounts of analysis that no children’s movie should ever lead to; Unwrapping the Wonka Bar. To all who come across this post, we here at Real-LCA-blog hope to provide an entertaining, inviting, interactive and sometimes overly obsessive experience for all Charlie and the Chocolate Factory fans and we hope you join us and enjoy the ride! Perhaps we’ll change how you view our beloved film or perhaps you’ll entirely disagree with our assessment, either way we’d love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to respond to our posts and leave your thoughts in the comments. And so, without further ado, I present to you all, the first installment in our series:

Where is Charlie’s Town Located? Part 1

One of the biggest questions fans of Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory have been wrestling with since 2005 has been where in the world does Charlie live? Where is Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory located? Every other location in the film is literally spelled out for the audience, with a subtitle of the location accompanied with a sound effect of the text being digitally generated showing up whenever we are introduced to a location not Charlie’s town or the final location of Dr. Wilbur Wonka’s home. Now, to obsessive movie detail fans, this might seem like a glaring plot hole the creators left unanswered, but if you do what obsessive movie detail fans do best and overanalyze every piece of media related to the film in question, you will uncover that this was by design.

According to the behind-the-scenes extra Designer Chocolate, included on the physical media release of the film, the Director, Tim Burton says of the location of Charlie’s town:

“It’s descriptive, but then it still allows you to interpret it. I always thought that that was quite interesting and that was something that we’d try to retain. We just sort of set it in its own city and not really describe where it really is.”

And on top of not giving the audience a real-world location of Charlie’s town, Burton then goes on to imply that the film takes place in a fictional country, stating:

“It has both an American sensibility and a British sensibility. It’s interesting cause you don’t really know where it takes place, and that gives it it’s kind of fable-like quality.”

Well, there you have it folks, the short and easy answer to this question seems to be that Charlie’s town is set in a fictional location that fans could not one-day travel to in the real world.

But, let’s be honest now, where’s the fun in saying that? What kind of inaugural Unwrapping the Wonka Bar post would this be if the answer was revealed in less than 500 words? That sets a terrible precedent and it does not accurately represent what this series is about. We here at Real-LCA-blog take too much pride in our obsessive breakdown and analysis of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to leave you wonderful readers feeling so unfulfilled. But what else is there to say, the director himself told us that Charlie’s town is not supposed to be a real place…but is that accurate?

Well, yes, Burton told us the town is completely made-up, “fable-like” were his exact words. Yet, if you extend that action, analyzing his exact words some more, a glimmer of hope for a much more interesting answer begins to manifest. When he spoke about translating what the original book has to say about Charlie’s town, Tim Burton said it was “something that we’d try to retain,” with the key word being “try.” “Try” means that there is implied success or there is implied failure, and fortunately for us, I am here to make the case that there is a chance that Tim Burton and the rest of the crew who worked on this film we love so much failed to capture a neutral setting for Charlie’s town. Additionally, if we stay on the overanalyzing Burton’s own words train for a while longer, we see in his follow up statement that he says Charlie’s town was “set it in its own city” while not describing “where it really is.” Does this mean that there is an actual location in mind, but said location is being occulted in order to tell the story in a certain manner? Who knows? Was his statement a slip of the tongue? Perhaps. A poor choice of words that does not accurately capture the message he hopes to convey? Perhaps as well. Is this overanalyzation of a couple of words uttered by a man famous for his social awkwardness, and thus can oftentimes words his responses to things in a less than clear fashion? You betcha! But hey, if you’ve read this far, then there’s a good chance you think there’s something to my theory that Charlie’s town does have a real-world location. Yet, before we can uncover where Charlie’s town is located, we have to dispense with the theory of the case that Tim Burton presents as key to understanding the nature of where Charlie’s town is located, and that is the notion that the town “has both an American sensibility and a British sensibility.”

That’s it for Part 1, click here for Part 2 where we examine Roald Dahl’s work and how it can deliver insight into the making of the 2005 film.
