The Dark Side of Chocolate (2010)
Shedding Light
As somebody who loves chocolate we can say that this movie helps with its transparency to shed some light on the dark side of chocolate.
The colonial problem of chocolate is up to this day a topic that makes chocolate bitter sweet. Especially for the ivory coast and ghana where around 60% of the worlds cacao comes form. The use of child labour or even slavory is up to this day a topic that needs to be tackled.
A world where the demand for sustainability and equality is rising, also the social justice side of things will grow. This movie helps viewer to understand the mechanisms and also challenges of the topic.
Without sharing spoilers we reccomend this movie for the cacao-and chocolate lovers out there.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
Updated Charlie
Some love this version of the story and some hate it, we think this adoption of the classical Charlie and the Chocolate Factory tale is well made and one of our favourites! We do always enjoy watching it.
Johnny Depp sparkles with a solid performance and also the imagery of Tim Burton makes it easy to get sucked into the imaginary world of a grimm Chocolate factory owner and the world of poor Charlie and his family who just want to endulge in the bitter sweet taste of Mr. Wonkas chocolate creations.
As a chocolate company ourselves we do like that an awareness is shown to the craft of making chocolate, we would have love to see more manual labor but Mr. Wonka is known for his machinery and Oompa Loompas.
We totally recommed.
