Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
Tumblr media
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)
Tumblr media
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)

I bought ‘I Want It Now’ memoir a couple months ago and it was a fantastic read. I am now equipped to be 20% more annoying about wwatcf to my friends. Needless to say this picture has been living rent free in my brain since then. I wish I could see a color version someday, but for now this will have to do 🥰

The Hottest Dark Shadows Character Poll!
The rules are simple:
Two DS characters, picked at random will be placed head to head in a poll!
Pick whichever one you think is hottest so they can move onto the next round
In the end we’ll have the definitive hottest DS character (according to some fools on tumblr)
Other important things to remember:
No child characters will be present, so no one played by David Hennesy, Denise Nickerson, ect. Because it’s a hottness poll, I don’t have to explain that further
Certain characters with a second actor (Willie, Burke, ect.) will be represented per actor due to acting choices and other significant differences. This will not be true for our preliminary poll characters because they had three or more actors or one actor was only there as a stand in
PT counts as seperate characters because I said so.
If there’s someone I forgot don’t yell at me I’m just some idiot on the internet none of this means anything
I will post the brackets after each round!

Wonka || The Years bewteen of The Two
The years between of Willy Wonka & Violet that I want to share was in 1971, when Violet starts to inflate, her belt blocks some of the swelling at first, but that's not the case. She was 13 when she was chosen to star opposite Gene Wilder in Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory. & on Wednesday, Denise Nickerson/Violet Beauregarde, now 59, recalled the moment during the making of the 1971 classic when the late legendary actor, Gene Wilder/Willy Wonka and comedian won her over. 'When we filmed in the chocolate room and he sang Pure Imagination that just... he stole my heart,' she told People. But in 2005 which was Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, when Willy Wonka thinks about Violet grabbing the gum, she'd rather you didn't. There's still one or two things that are a...oh yeah, to Violet Beauregarde who once said;  "I'm the World Record holder in chewing gum. I'm not afraid of anything!" But he didn't care at first. But now in 2023 which was Wonka, it was only them from the place it's been token when willy found out he was walking out of the city highway with Noodle, but it's him with Violet staring of the years between the two of them. Where do the years come from? Rules: DO NOT STEAL MY ART! No Rude Comments please. Willy Wonka & Violet Beauregarde both belong to Wonka.
