CATCF is the 121st most watched movie on Letterboxd! It ranks higher than the majority of the Star Wars prequels and the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie 💅

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a problem here.

This photo (graciously posted by @wonkaworldwide) caught my eye today. I thought to myself, “Hmm, his features seem a bit more defined.”

And then it hit me

The first photo is the unphotoshopped version! They took out the smile lines in his cheek, and brushed out the lines under Johnny’s eyes. It also appears that they filled in his lips with a darker pink and smoothed out his whole face. A closer look below 👇

How odd for magazines and the press to do that. Johnny looked just fine in the unedited photo. The lighting seems more natural too. It makes me wonder how many other photos are edited 😔 Such a shame that the press can never leave photos alone.

#reblogging my old content for today #it’s always a treat when i rediscover some of my posts #reblog #willy wonka #johnny depp #Tim Burton

#damn straight #especially with all the prequel stuff going on rn #willy wonka

the other day i was at Costco and I realized that if Willy Wonka stepped into a Costco I think he would actually combust. I just imagined him trying to push a cart and being overwhelmed by all the choices. The absolute chaos that would ensue.

I’ve been thinking a lot about CATCF today. 18 years has passed since it was released. I was four years old when my mom rented a copy of it for me and my sisters. It was an instant moment of connection and love at first watch. Now, I’m graduating college next month and I still can’t believe just how much I love this film. I was obsessed in middle school probably to a fault. On its 10th anniversary, I watched the film ten times 🥵 it was an all consuming obsession and one that did cost me time and friends.

I put my love away for the film as I went into high school. I gained other interests and got into other movie series. I graduated high school and went to college. COVID hits. In all the chaos and confusion, I felt a pull to watch what used to be my favorite movie. I was very scared to go back. What if I didn’t like it? What if I only liked the movie because I had such a crush on Wonka? I pushed play on Netflix and just from the first forty seconds… I was home. The factory is a second home to me. A place of creativity, freedom and expression. I’m no longer afraid to tell people this is my favorite movie. At school, people have been asking me all week what my thoughts on the Wonka prequel are (that’s for another post). My friends watch the movie with me every year on my birthday. We have a “Wonka Wall” in our apartment where there is a picture of everybody who has visited our place and put on the Wonka glasses that I own. It’s glorious and liberating to be free in your interests. True friends will never judge your passions, only fuel it.

So I sit here in bed and ponder on a full 18 years of this movie in existence. It’s reputation is still split. A love it or hate it kinda flick. But the love for it grows every day. Seldom is a movie of this size and success considered a cult classic, but sometimes I feel like CATCF is reaching there. As cinema gets less and less creative, I think people are realizing we took this movie for granted. The production design, costumes, practical effects, the music, the atmosphere… it’s just so uniquely Burton that I can’t help but smile like a lunatic when I watch this movie. It’s just so great. I know this film isn’t a masterpiece by any means, but it’s just the movie I needed when I was 4 and whenever I was down and lonely in my life.

Depp’s Wonka is an acting masterclass and it was heartbreaking to 9 year old me when I discovered he wasn’t real, but played by an actor. He seemed so vividly alive to me as child. He existed out there somewhere to 4 year old me. If I searched hard enough to find him… but he was just truly inside my soul. I also grew up with an overbearing and abusive father. I envied the fact that Wonka could just run away and become whatever he wanted. I wanted to escape to the factory the way Wonka did. The man isn’t real, but the lessons I’ve learned have been. Never let the past dictate the present. Never let the limitations of the world limit your creativity. Never let other people’s judgment get you down. Also ✨dress stylishly✨

Anyways this has gone on too long lol and I’ll probably regret this post in the morning. But I’m just full of love right now for this film and I’m so grateful every day that my mom went to Blockbuster and chose this film to take home.

Happy birthday Charlie and the Chocolate Factory🍫

Making your elevator out of see-through glass is a major design fail but it does provide us with hilarity.

(I totally did not have a similar experience recently walking into a glass door I thought was open, my nose was sore for a few weeks haha)
