Die hier im Zusammenhang mit Wonka angekündigte gravierende cineastischen Bildungslücke, sollte den wirklich aufmerksamen Internettagebuchleser eigentlich gar nicht so verwundern wie angekündigt, weil ich sie hier schon erwähnt habe, da in Vorbereitung für das damals neue Musical: Nämlich, daß ich noch nie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory mit Gene Wilder angeschaut habe. Was mich als notorischen Verfechter von Leslie-Bricusse-&-Anthony-Newley-Kindermusicals sogar selber etwas wunderte, aber irgendwie war ich immer etwas misstrauisch. Aber jetzt, und die erwarteten Lieder, kommen alle (obwohl es mir jetzt scheint, als seien es die falschen...), es ist angemessen verschroben und Gene Wilder ist natürlich ganz entzückend (der Bub auch), die Hauptirritation für hiesige Anglophile besteht aber irgendwie darin, daß das Haus der Buckets und Willy Wonkas Schokoladenfabrik sich so offensichtlich in München befinden. Dies ist jetzt Teil vergleichender Studien mit allen Willy-Wonka-Verfilmungen, die aber aber vorhersehbarerweise wohl damit enden wird, daß uns das Bühnenmusical am besten gefallen hat.

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)

Movie #1,135 • FRIDAY WILDCARD

I will be taking a break from double posting on Mondays and Fridays in September to give myself a slight breather as I'll be on the road for much of the end of August and won't be able to take in my usual glut of cinema. This one is the lone exception as I watched it recently with my daughter after we finished the original Roald Dahl book.

For starters, it absolutely still holds up and really its only flaw is that Gene Wilder isn't in the movie until halfway through. This both heightens his appearance/role but it also makes the opening 45 minutes a tad boring by comparison.

I hadn't realized until this rewatch that Roald Dahl also penned the screenplay and briefly worked as a screenwriter as in the 60s, even penning two James Bond adaptations (for You Only Live Twice and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang). Interestingly enough he wound up disowning the final film version of Willy Wonka both because of deviations made in the production and ultimately placing too much of the emphasis on Wonka instead of Charlie (and that's obvious in the title change). But, that being said, it truly is Wilder in the titular role that makes this movie work. Visually, it is definitely fun if not dated but none of it works without his performance at the center. It's as hilarious as it is completely bizarre. Wilder presents an affect that is uncanny, almost creepy at times, but constantly engrossing. It's the rare execution that is both perfect and impossible to explain.

And not to disagree with the master Dahl, but I found most of the deviations of the original story to be mostly positive changes, especially the ending, which is a bit more complicated the book but actually strengthens the character of Charlie as well as the moral implications. The book just kind of ends with him getting the factory and I think the final twist in the film is the better conclusion.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory has a few scenes with cameras flashing infrequently. One late scene involves some sudden, very bright lights. When a boat enters a tunnel, there are lights that rapidly change colors, similar to strobe lights. This effect ends when the announcement is made that the boat ride is over.

All of the camera work in this film is either stationary or very smooth. The final scene of the movie depicts flight high above a city.

Flashing Lights: 4/10. Motion Sickness: 1/10.

TRIGGER WARNING: There is some disturbing imagery during the tunnel sequence, including a chicken having its head chopped off with no indication if it's previously alive or dead. Claustrophobic viewers may be disturbed by a scene of crowding in a small room, and by one of a child stuck inside a tight pipe.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971)

Some films capture the imagination so elegant, so perfectly, it seems almost effortless. Like The Wizard of Oz or Mary Poppins, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is such a film. Filled with splendid and memorable songs, unforgettable characters, distinct visuals, and a performance by Gene Wilder so good that to imitate it would be pure folly, this is essential viewing; a film destined to be revisited by children and their parents again and again.

Poor, kind Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum) lives in a small house with his mother (Diana Sowle) and his four grandparents. When legendary candy maker Willy Wonka (Wilder) announces he has hidden five golden tickets in his world-famous Wonka Bars, and that the children who find them will be allowed access to his mysterious factory, our hero dreams of finding one for himself.

This is a strange film. It’s whimsical, funny, tragic, and occasionally, a little frightening. The strange blends of emotion and bizarre imagery somehow fill you with comfort the same way as the bedtime fairytales you enjoyed as a child. The instant you see Charlie, you fall in love with him. You know how badly he wants to visit Wonka’s factory because he's you. As the tickets get snatched up one by one by vile children, your anticipation keeps growing. If the gluttonous Augustus Gloop (Michael Böllner) and insufferable Veruca Salt (Julie Dawn Cole) are the only ones who meet the reclusive Willy Wonka, there's no way he'll ever emerge from his factory ever again. Even if you already know what’s going to happen to them, to Mike Teevee (Paris Themmen), or Violet Beauregarde (Denise Nickerson), the child inside you is filled with such nervousness you forget.

When we finally go inside Wonka’s factory and learn the secrets of his chocolate, it’s pure bliss. You want to reach into the screen and stuff your pockets full of the impossible colors and textures you see. Then, there’s the music. Anyone who says they don’t remember the Oompa Loompas’ song, Pure Imagination or Candy Man, are lying; trying (for reasons no one but them could understand) to distance themselves from a children’s film that has a lot to offer adults. Like Grumpy in Snow White, the story frequently injects humor by undercutting what’s happening on-screen via Willy Wonka. He says exactly what you’re thinking a second before you’ve finished thinking about it. He’s full of sarcastic remarks and delights in seeing the spoiled brats who've entered his factory get what’s coming to them. If the visuals, the performances (Jack Albertson as Grandpa Joe stands out as particularly magical), the music, and everything else didn’t already cement the film as timeless, Wilder certainly does.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is mandatory viewing. Your movie-viewing life isn’t complete without it. More than that, seeing it just the once isn’t enough. It’s the kind of picture you should see when you’re young - I vividly remember viewing the picture with my grade-four class – and again, at regular intervals during your lifetime to see how its appeal changes but never diminishes. Just thinking about it brings a smile to my face. (On Blu-ray, September 1, 2017)

"After reading the script, Gene Wilder said he would take the role of Willy Wonka under one condition: that he would be allowed to limp and then suddenly somersault in the scene when he first meets the children. When director Mel Stuart asked why, Wilder replied that having Wonka do this meant that "from that time on, no one will know if I'm lying or telling the truth." Stuart asked, "If I say no, you won't do the picture?" Wilder said, "I'm afraid that's the truth."" | "When Gene Wilder died in 2016, Peter Ostrum changed his social media profile to "Former child actor, veterinarian, inherited a chocolate factory on August 29, 2016."" Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) dir. Mel Stuart
