“ I didn’t know Johnny Depp at all, and I hadn’t seen any of his work. He seemed to me to be somebody who was very much near the dynamic of the Edward character. I saw this guy who seemed like he had a lot going on, but he looked a certain way, so people perceived him in a certain way. I think he suffered for it. There’s a sadness, I think, that goes with that, because people look at you and they perceive who you are because of how you look. I detected in him that sort of sadness, that sort of melancholy that goes along with that. That quality very much mirrored who and what that character was in this film.“

In the end, Charlie Bucket won a chocolate factory. But Willy Wonka had something even better, a family. And one thing was absolutely certain - life had never been sweeter.

It is said that blood is thicker than water. It is what defines us, binds us, curses us. For some blood means a life of wealth and privilege, for others a life of servitude.

I was a bride. My dreams were taken from me. But now - now I’ve stolen them from someone else. I love you, Victor, but you are not mine.

Villainy wears many masks, none of which so dangerous as virtue.
