    Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a gem in the history of movies. It stands out not just for the acting and the main story, but all of the things you can find hiding beneath the surface. It is a surprisingly ominous movie and the character of Willy Wonka is at the center of the horror. We've talked about Wonka using the Golden Tickets to pass off his OSHA violations onto the winner, but what if that was not the only trick he's trying to pull? What else is Willy Wonka up to? Watch to find out!

    Interesting theory. ) Also one of the first things I thought about was wealth distribution. If I remember correctly the book, the bars were not cheap (at least not for Charlie, who was simply very poor). Also funny thing is, Charlie was walking past the factory nearly regularly, so he lived at the same town, where the Wonkas' factory was situated. So even as a child I thought, how convenient it was that the golden tickets happened to appear close the factory itself (maybe just some of them, but still suspicious!). :)
    Concerning the "kid question", wasn't it explicitly stated, that the excursion to the factory was for kids? As I understand, if grown-ups found the tickets, then they were supposed to give them to their children. As, I think, was with Veruca.

      That gives me an idea for a sequel. Basically, Charlie inherits the factory but calls back everybody else (who've all matured into adults by now) to help him since they were all chosen save for one: Veruca. Veruca would be the antagonist, trying to take Wonka down by building up her father's business to compete with Wonka.
      I think that would make for an interesting story.

      I figure they would just handwave it away as him knowing the language or having some device do the translating. Even if every single one of the kids and their families spoke a different language and _none_ of them spoke English, plus whatever language the Oompa Loompas speak, that's still "only" seven languages, and there are real people who can blow that figure out of the water.

    Personal theory: Veruca Salt was the only kid who got her golden ticket 'legitimately'.
    She had the personal finances and manpower to basically just hit the slot machine infinitely and grind out the probability until she got one.
    Willy Wonka was almost immediately openly hostile to her, partly because she's the most unlikable brat on the planet, but also possibly because she forced her way into the factory while all the other kids were 'chosen'.

      Veruca demanded her father to force the ticket to come right into her hands,
      and Mike... well he was chosen. even though he never liked candy. only violence in video games.

  • @anunlitmatchstick5698
    @anunlitmatchstick5698 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2592

    Every child except for Charlie were chosen because they all had an aspect of their upbringing/family that would lend itself to running the factory. Veruca's father was a prominent business owner (management) and Veruca was able to get anything she wants out of the people around her. Augustus's father was a prominent butcher (international management) with international ties and Augustus was a food lover who would enjoy the food itself. Violet's father was a politician (business policies/regional politics/HR) so she could learn politics and Violet was a determined and competitive girl. Mike was a tv lover and would be great with marketing and technology. I imagine that different members of Wonka's team chose them because of these attributes while Wonka decided to give his choice to the candy shop owner. The candy shop owner chose Charlie because he could see Charlie staring from the window before work and when the last ticket was "found", Charlie bought chocolate not because of the prize, but because he genuinely wanted some and even thought of his grandpa.

    My Wanka Theory is that during the remake, Wanka went into that tour planning to give the factory to the TV kid. TV kid is the only one he tried 'connecting' with at the gates while the others he looked at like a pile of hot garbage. The kid had shown he won through his intellect by figuring out to play the system, intellect that would have helped in running a candy factory. Then during the 'candy explosion' room the kid started badmouthing the idea of candy which is when Charlie spoke up and Wanka changed his mind.

    Pretty sure the "accidents" during Wonka's tour were planned out carefully too:
    1. When the tour group rides in both the paddleboat and later on in the Wonkawash car, ALL SEATS ARE FULL. The "surprise exit" of each child & adult matches perfectly with the available seating in each vehicle.
    2. The fact that at the end of the tour, only one child is left to inherit the factory.

      At some point in one of the two movies (I forget which) someone notes that the oompa loompas seem to have their performances oddly... memorized. Choreographed. Rehearsed. As if they knew exactly what was going to happen. Wonka tries to cover for this by calling it improvisation. It's very clear that you are correct. They weren't accidents. They were traps, to see if Wonka's 'read' on each kid really was accurate. Would Augustus abuse the factory to give himself chocolate? Could Violet overcome her competitive spirit to follow good advice? Would Veruca's greed get the better of her? Would Mike's ambition lead him to self-destruction? Well, the answer is yes.

    You missed the real nail in the coffin: The other "winners" had obsessions that lead them to harm while in the factory...in rooms practically (and possibly) designed to tempt them each specifically, to the point where Wonka isn't even surprised by any of it. Then the actual "winner" just happens to be a kid from the town the factory is in, with a family member who used to work in the factory? Charlie was clearly hand chosen to inherit Wonka's FDA nightmare. Clever scheme to take his wealth and run before the legality of his deathtrap catches up with him.

    • @TheSteelmushroom
      @TheSteelmushroom 3 ปีที่แล้ว +35

      Though at the same time what would really be the point of inviting those kids in the first place so they end up in traps specifically for them and wasting some time walking around when he could of asked Charlie in person? Charlie would very most likely would of accepted it because of the poor financial state of his family and he wants to care for his family in anyway possible which would of saved Wonka a lot of trouble or time. It could of possibly been for publicity maybe but then the company is already global and has a good reputation. Maybe Wonka a sadist but there probably no evidence to suggest that based off his personality plus his character seems very carefree which probably explains why he not surprised a lot of the time. Also I'm pretty sure in the original movie Charlie floated up using bubbles to a ceiling fan and almost got sliced up but luckily avoided that at the last second.

    At the time the movie was shown during the 70's, I remember that American products were pretty hard to obtain in my country, the Philippines. In fact, there was only one speciality store where you could get it consistently and when we were kids, we were always very excited during the rare moments when our mom would go that store and buy American made breakfast cereals, chocolate milk powder and candies for us. (Of course, everything was sold with premium prices)
    If the Wonka movie actually happened in real life during that time, our chances of finding a ticket would only be slightly higher than Charlie's.

    I love the idea that wonka predetermined the kids because it’s so interesting to think of how he would’ve chosen them.
    Veruca and Violet both have rich fathers with companies so they would have “experience” with business type matters and how a factory would run.
    Augustus is CLEARLY passionate about chocolate so he could even have ideas about expanding the company with new products (? Or maybe he’d just love the job lol)
    Mike honestly just seems like he’d grow up to be some business guy, even though during the story he’s always seen as this typical boy obsessed with TV. He’s direct and clearly says what’s on his mind. Also because of how much more “childlike” he’s portrayed, he seems to be in touch with who his target demographic would be if he were to run the company.
    Then Charlie was a lot harder to guess on but the most likely reason would be because he lives so close to the Wonka Factory. I don’t know how Wonka could’ve known who he is even with that information but that’s MatPat’s job to figure out, not mine! (Just kidding, amazing theory 💚🎮)

      Well, you would also have to take into account that Greendale’s roof probably wasn’t up to code, and so may be more prone to collapse than your average roof.

    The reason for all the British actors is, I assume, because Roald Dahl’s original book is set in England, with Wonka being inspired by Cadbury who would send test chocolates to schools so the children could try them and give them feedback - read “Boy”, Dahl’s first memoir, for more.

      @thevfxmancolorizationvfxex4051 3 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      I'd say that Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory was just an Americanized version of Roald's story. Also, Why are Americans too stubborn to give any other adaptation of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory that is not the Gene Wilder one a chance? The Tim Burton film (which is not a fucking remake!) and the original book had some redeeming qualities to them. Plus, they had to modify the Broadway play to make it like the Wilder one because a flood of Karens would get triggered if it wasn't like the Wilder one

And I guess that those Karens don't even know that the movies are based off a book, they probably don't read anyways. That could educate them and then they could start thinking about what they yell into people's faces... nah.

    I found something interesting a few months ago. Apparently the kid that played Charley was not told in advance that Wonka was going to yell at him at the end so that they could get a genuine reaction. Gene Wilder said he really wanted to tell him it was coming and that it was just going to be acting but the director forbade it. It looks like some other things like that were surprises to the actors too such as the candy garden room, Wonka's limp and somersault and his acting on the boat.

      Sorry for being THAT person but if this is true, then this is a pretty shitty move from the production team in my opinion. Of course it's not like the kid will be traumatized by this but it's just not cool to not tell a child in advance that something scary might happen, especially when that child is literally working for you. Child actors are already under a lot of stress and pressure and I don't like how they unnecessarily and intentionally not told him crucial information about a scene in order to get better shots. If I was him, I would have started to wonder what else they might not have told me yet.
      It's a pretty interesting fact though, thanks for sharing
