the length of the candle is the movement in price. if the price has gone up the bottom of the candle will be the open price, the top of the candle will be the close price level. if the price went down the reverse happens.
it is easier to understand on bitcoincharts.com with the more variables to play with the data.
this is the movement of price for 1 day shown in 1 minute candles.

this is the same movement shown in hourly candles.

these are not single trades but price movement over the given time.
the mtgox chart has 24 candles so they are probably hourly candles. you are seeing the price changes each hour for the last 24 hours.

red price went down, green price went up. same as on the ticker charts at bitcoincharts.com.
