    Regardless if you find this Wonka off putting, this is actually more realistic considering he now has a back story. When you lock yourself away for 15 years, not to mention never getting closure on what happened between him and his dad, which made him bitter and misanthropic, this is actually close to what would come out of it.

    Burton was completely against using CGI if he could help it, and this is another example. All the squirrels you see? They're real. In fact, they're rescue squirrels that Burton specifically hired someone to train them to do all these scenes. He even named them.
    If you really want specifics, the real ones are whenever you get a close up of one, when they first attack Veruca's stunt double, and when that one squirrel pushes the dad in after her.
    Also, apparently this is supposed to be ironic. She exploited nut workers to get what she wanted in the beginning, tried to do the same thing here, and it backfired.

      Technically not every squirrel was real, some of them were animatronics and others, like the ones in the background, were CG. But most of the ones in closeups were real and Burton did try to get as many as real as possible.

    I really like the fact that the parents don’t let Charlie get rid of the ticket for the money. Under any other circumstance, that might be a good idea, considering they don’t have any money. I think it was really important for the family to let Charlie keep his dreams alive and not have to sacrifice his childhood in order to help them pay for things. It was important that Charlie wanted to help, AND important that they wouldn’t let him help.

    17:45 Johnny Depp is one of those actors that can change their appearance to fit the movie. 42:47 remember when he left his dad when he was a kid his dad said he wouldn’t be there when he got back. When he did go back to where his dad was there was an empty space where the house was like his dad somehow moved the whole building.

    Say what you want about the oompa loompa flashback, but it's here for two very good reasons.

    1:21 The bucket house is actually the reason the movie got the green light from Roald Dahl's widow. Why? It's based off of Dahl's famous writing shed. It's common knowledge that Dahl hated the original, so naturally she was protective of any future adaptations. But when she saw the house, and found out they'd designed the Bucket house like that on purpose? That sold the deal for her.

    The actor that made all the oompaloompas had to literally film the same scene several times in different places to later all be place together. He said it was the hardest job of his life and everyone agree with that.
    Also, I'm not sure with this, but I heard the first time Johnny Depp crashed with the door of the glass elevator was accidental, but the second time he made it on purpose.
    And on a sweet note, the part of Willy's father having cuts of his son's archivements is indeed based on an event of Tim Burton's life. He said that he didn't have a good relation with his mother but he went to visit her when she was close to pass away, in her room she had cuts and posters of Tim Burton's movies, indicating that despite their rocky relation she always had faith in him and will archive his dream.

    That's right, even after saying no, Charlie still hesitated. Yes, even though he wants away from his life of poverty, he still said no. He knows he's giving up the chance of a lifetime, and he really doesn't want to give it up.
    But he still does because he's so close with his family.

    Only movie to do this. Denying the Bucket family. And given what we've seen of Wonka's past, we understand why he does it. We don't approve, but we get it.
    Walked out on his dad at a very young age, and every adult he's come into contact with since has let him down or tried to take advantage of him. What reason does he have to think the Buckets are different?
    All it takes is that one moment to see Wonka's entire worldview shatter. He let the world make him bitter. He knew how bad people could be, but it also tainted his opinion of all other people in the world as well.

    Yeah, in this film, it's pretty obvious the children get picked off because Wonka knows what will get the kids to let their vices punish them.
    Augustus: make the first stop on the tour be where EVERYTHING is edible and let his gluttony be his undoing. After that, just poke around until you find him at the bottom of the fudge vat....
    Violet: make the second stop of the tour be in the room where everything is untested and where testing anything, being "The First", will be an achievement. Plus, it's where that gum is still being tested, and of course the gum chewer will not be able to resist. Her punishment is getting squeezed of all the juice until she's back to nomal but forever altered, a metaphor for the preasure to compete and win having the ultimate life changine effect; similar to sports players pushing their bodies to the end only to destory them with life long afflictions.
    Verunca: She has her father abuse nut sorters to get what she wants, but when her father doesn't get her what she wants, a "nut sorting squirrel," she goes to get one for herself and pays the price. Her punishment is more kind, being dropped upon 3 weeks of rotten garbage like the rotten little girl she is.
    Mike: the most violent and least moral of the ticket winners who's surrounded by violence and believes he is the smartest person compared to everyone else. He gets placed in the room with the most dangerous equipment that can utterly destroy him at a cellular level, is hinted to be faulty and places him in the TV where Wonka flips from one channel to the next tossing him into danger left and right. He has all the violence he could want... but now he's in the middle of it. And it's Wonka who's flipping him around until the song is over and decides he's had enough torment and has reduced Mike to begging for help from someone. He might be the smartest, but this is something he can't talk his way out of. And his punishment is the most violent to be put in the taffy puller until he's forever altered, and it's a bit karmic given Wonka's bit about "I was never as short as you" have LOTS of weight. Mike has been reduced to being literally shorter than he was, then stretched to be taller than he was and left a freak. Compared to the others, there is NO fixing this. Augustus and Verunca just needs a bath, Violet could wear concealers to try and hide her blue skin, but... what can you do for Mike? Nothing. He's an 8 foot tall wire thin freak. You could try to get him to play sports maybe, but.... he'll have to look off forever.
    And of course... be thankful this isn't the broadway version where most of the kids met terrible ends.
    Augustus: Drowns and dies
    Violet: Explodes and dies
    Veunca: Is dismembered by the squirrels
    Mike: Just gets made a pet to his mother for the rest of his life where he has no say in anything.

    I experienced the stories in an odd order. I read the book when I was 6/7 and became obsessed. The 2005 movie came out a year later and I loved it so much to the point where there was an occasion in elementary school when I think I watched this movie every day for a month! Then I was maybe 10 or so (2007ish) when I finally saw the Gene Wilder one. But not only is this movie personally more nostalgic to me, it’s also a lot more similar to the book, so that was another factor to my enjoyment

  • @chris...9497
    @chris...9497 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    Should read the source material, the story as Roald Dahl wrote it.
    Dahl wrote very weird stories full of dark themes:
    -Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
    -Matilda
    -James and the Giant Peach
    -The Witches
    -The BFG
    -Fantastic Mr Fox
    I've never really liked Dahl's writing; there's something unhealthy, chaotic, and vindictive about it. Most fantasy is organic and has its own recognizable logic, but Dahl's writings have a broken sensibility about it, something psychopathic about it.
    All that being said, Gene Wilder's Wonka and Tim Burton's Wonka work so much better than Dahl's. Dahl died 15 years before Burton's film was released, but was around for the 1971 Gene Wilder one. As I understand it, Dahl worked on the 1971 film script, but got disgusted with the studio's changes and walked off the project; that may have saved the 1971 film.
    Personally, I love both film versions. Burton added things that made the story make more sense (like Wonka's backstory). But Gene Wilder's performance was incredible. Choosing between Wilder and Depp is impossible. I think there's room for both visions of this mysterious and complex character Wonka.
    Loved the endless shouts of "What is this FILM!"

    Got to give it up for who ever was in charge of casting. It's like this Augustus leaped right off the pages of the book.
    Some fun facts about the guy that played him: he's actually wearing a fat suit, actually does speak German, and didn't speak a word of English when he was cast.
    Also, come on. You mean to tell me biting the ticket hasn't happened more than once? The fact that it's Augustus it happened to just adds to the character.

    These two movies are very analogous to the truth that two people can read the same story and develop different visions based on the exact same words.

    I do prefer the '71 version because the father issues seem such an odd add.

    Fact: How did Willy’s house disappear?? Director of Nightmare before Christmas, Tim Burton, wanted people to think Willy’s dad was an Illusion to the story. Instead of thinking Willy’s house didn’t really disappear, but was took apart. And why and how is it outside to Snow??? Like I said, Burton wanted us to think Willy’s dad and his house as an Illusion.
