You are right, it’s a pretty weird movie, but it’s good
To your point of wonka feeling different. Its explained in the books and movies that wonka has had his secrets stolen and was betrayed multiple times by his friends and coworkers. Thats why he fires everyone and closed the factory.
Then isolates himself for decades.
Relatable
Honestly this part of the books would've been worthy to watch since it actually was a canon conflict than whatever this weird "He's a wizard now!" vibe was....
Same here
@@SnowieShiba I would've killed to see this silly Willy get betrayed multiple times and completely shut down, become overly paranoid and isolated. :D
I kinda think his personality fits. Like he was so optimistic about life, and then he realizes how selfish and gluttonous kids are, and gets screwed over by employees then spends several years locked in his factory with just himself and the Oompa Loompas. He has many, many years to become jaded and to realize how much the world sucks.
That's gonna make for an interesting sequel, at least.
Wow, he's literally me
Exactly lol he's got like 40 years to get jaded
😂😂😂@@mishynaofficial
@@mishynaofficial you think that the world was meant to be this way
I was in a really bad mental space when I went to see this in theatres, but it honestly helped a lot because it was so light-hearted, feelgood and just so out there. For that this movie holds a special place in my heart.
W pfp
Yeah, this movie had a lot of charm to it. I think it will be one of those movies that is looked fondly upon in gen A's current childhood.
I laughed until I cried and then I couldn’t stop crying haha. But it was a good cry and a great story imo.
Hope you are doing better now, I wish you the best and stay safe.
yeah it was a nice feel good movie
Instead of having Wonka expose the other chocolate makers as criminals, he could have tormented and sabotaged them until they surrendered. Would have fit the vibe of Wilder better
But they weren't trying to make a mini wilder lol
@gnat4999 Instead, they made a prequel character that doesn't feel like the original
@@jamescallanan2443doesn't even seem to come close because this makes it seem like Wonka just lived his mother and not his chocolate if that makes sense
Yes, but... They floated off and he's not sure if they will ever get down. Potentially they keep floating and die of lack of oxygen in the air or fall down in the middle of the sea with no one to rescue them 😮 And he doesn't care much, so pretty in line with the original Wonka to me. At least the ending.
@@Antonio-ys5zdyou guys are dumb this movie has nothing to do with that old version
My favorite part is definitely "Oh...oh...Oh...Ooh..oh-" Like that was so unnecessarily needed.
Wut 😂 Heck of an oxymoron right there
When was that
@@Lucyyyyyy23 When Wonka was looking at the small print
it was funny
It actually made me laugh.
"Eldritch murder lemonade" has entered my personal lexicon.
dont forget " manic incubus dream boy"
"I yearn for the rectangle pizza..."
The og movie and book was showing how he moved far away from his childish wonder and the reason he made chocolate and candies in the first place (kinda like how wonka portrays him and his origins) the reason he’s so different and detached in the og movie is the whole point of his character in pretty much all the movies and especially in Charlie and the glass elevator 👍he’s a man who lost his wonder and is trying to find someone to replace him who has that same spark he once did for making candy and chocolate
yeah, how do you think charlie's character is similar to willy's character in this wonka movie
I know I speak for every Horrible Histories kid when I say that Mat Baynton a.k.a Fickelgruber is THE most important guy here
HH is how you get kids interested in a subject. Imagine a maths show that presents it in the form of maths duels, which actually happened, while teaching kids more advanced calculus.
@projekttaku1753 Wish I'd had this tbh, I would've aced maths exams like I did history!
First rule: you put any member of the HH cast in a piece of media and I will watch it.
As a peep show lover I argue that Paterson Joseph was important love hh too tho
Exactly right. How to tell someone knows nothing about Britain, they don't know the HH cast.
They just gave him a tragic backstory and a happy man for relatability.
Not Mr. Bean in a chocolate movie😂...love it
Greatest thing to come out of my hometown is mr bean
2:22 That's a hoodie
A jumper doesn't have a hood and is usually knitted
Me personally. I loved Wonka. Im a theatre kid so its probably why I liked the music numbers so much but thats just my opinion.
Edit: Alex removed all the music and even threw in different music just so yall know. Willy was not singing acapella.
People think too much about it. Its a quirky fun wholesome film with alittle subtle messages. Just have fun?
to answer the question, about where they are, they filmed it in bath and i think also oxford because there is a recognisable building that would be in oxford. i think the building looks like it could be part of oxford uni but i do know that mainly filmed in bath. bath is a place in the uk. i think charlie and chocolate factory story is mainly placed in some fictional place where they mainly speak english.
Id personally prefer if they jept wonka's story line from the johnny depp movie (like how he met the oompa loompas, got betrayed by an employee, and was never allowed candy as a kid since his dad was a dentist)
Alex has the best singing voice I have ever heard!
I need the full version of the song!
14:55 stop don’t 😂
16:26- Now, I didn’t see this one but I kinda got a bit of what you’re saying….. like here!?! That line sounds like he’s someone cosplaying as him more than supposed to be him! But he also kinda got rushed on learning who he was!?! If that makes any sense!?!
It’s almost like secluding yourself for years and years after having people ruin your business and betray your trust might make you a little crazy, but hey who am I to judge.
I saw some dark edits of this movie on shorts and assumed it was PG-13 or rated R so I took an edible and my hubby and I went to watch it in theatres together. I may have died when the Key and Peele guy just kept getting fatter and like halfway through the movie I was like “hey this is a kids movie”
Then the ending made my hubby and I both cry
"to get every spice you took over the world but all your food tastes and looks like a roadkill squirreLLLLLLLLL" so true
0:06 Hunger games prequel is not bad it’s soooooooooo good watch it
I loved this movie sm such a fun watch to see at the cinema :3
I was also shocked to see many actors from other British shows and films!
Like you can spot 2 actors from Horrible Histories
3 actors from Paddington and Paddington 2
And 1 famous actor from Mr. Bean :>
Favorite song is possibly scrub scrub
and scene would be possibly the chocolate store before the disaster happened
Noodle wasn't needed. Also the machine that makes chocolate. He didn't suppose to have friends.
I may be too much of a 2000s kid, but I feel like the backstory there makes more sense- daddy issues made him weirdly obsessed with chocolate and he used the resulting mental trauma to go bugfuck insane and make amazing chocolate and he hates people and you can even get the impression that the reason he’s terrible to the kids is spite- in the stage musical it’s straight up a moral thing, I feel, with all the kids vaguely associated with sins- Veruca is greed, Mike is wrath, Violet is pride, and Augustus is gluttony ofc, meaning the punishment isn’t for being disobedience but for those moral failings, as when Charlie disobeys orders he is instead rewarded. Though since Wonka first met Charlie before he even sent out the tickets, if Charlie didn’t generically restore Wonka’s hope for humanity and belief in the innocence of children, it could read as some creep’s scheme to make it *look like* it was a matter of chance, but actually it was a matter of plausibility to get close to Charlie, who was his intended heir (and hopefully just that) the whole time.
Don't forget this September!
Till all are *one* !
They need to make one about wonka becoming a crazy isolated chocolate maker and why he would test children in that manner. Something M rated at least.
I’m kinda shocked he didn’t mention the whole absurd absolutely makes no sense subplot about them tricking Scrubbit to fall in love 🥴
The song is 10/10 (I'm british)
Also wonka is set in 1930s London, so I assume Charlie and chocolate factory is set around the area too.
The first Willy Wonka movie was set in the US but filmed in Germany.
I think he was talking about the book
This movies plot can be replaced with the Harry Potter theory and then it would be good
The animation is soo dinamic and cool in the begining!!
It was bad. Even if they attempted to attach it to the 1970s version, it just can't.
The illiteracy aspect forced a substory on top of 5 others that this movie attempted to tell coherently.
complaints about this movie
One: it was a musical
Two: he contradicts himself by not stealing milk, but steals balloons at the zoo
Three: the end about the hotel people have a bunch of magical potions? makes no sense.
I cannot see Timothy without seeing Paul Atriedes
I'm sorry but the movie poster you used was IN TURKISH so I feel obligated to feel proud for some reason...
Wonka is cooking this year (2023-2024)
Wonka ... is a movie.
Honestly, that's all there is to say about the third movie vaguely based on a Roald Dahl book. Given how Dahl - not a particularly pleasant individual - loathed that first movie, you have to wonder how he'd feel about the other two.
... not positive. To put it mildly.
I think this is more of a sequel to the Charlie and the chokolatefabrik with jonny depp and not the one you showed, because the Charakter and the way he was acting matches jonny depp so much more. maybe you can watch it too
"like... Eah!" 😂
We do not say nike, it's ni-key.
What’s it only me who saw mr bean 13:07
alex lowkey ate with that song
I totally agree with the final point: as a fantasy musical, it's quite charming and fun. You just have to divorce it from any iteration of Willy Wonka and take it as an entirely separate and independent story. Do that, and it's quite enjoyable.
why would you need to do that? This is Willy Wonka before the isolation and betrayal. You speak without knowing what you’re talking about. Why? who raised you improperly?
@@LegendOfYuka”Why? Who raised you improperly?” I hope you’re joking cause thats straight up wild 💀
I see you’re other comments, and judging by that, i can tell you’re one of those people who turns every small thing personal for literally no reason. Not sure who you think was raised improperly here, but it seems like you’ve got your own issues to work on.
@@LegendOfYuka There are several things about this movie that still don't mesh with the other iterations of Willy Wonka. Not just the fact that he's optimistic. So if anyone's speaking without knowing what they're talking about, it's you.
@@guineapig0983 the fact u scoured through other comments put u in the same position as I. This comment specifically wasn’t too bad, I was jus tweaking, however the majority of the others hating on a genuinely good movie with a message that needs to be said did make me upset. Also, terrible analysis, it’s not that deep, it’s the internet. If you truly are offended by anything on here perhaps you shouldn’t be on it.
@@maryannclementiii-uw5pk It may not match the original/the 2000’s adaption or the book by different race’s, minor details (majority of things that are pointless nitpicking) but if you removed the title and his name wasn’t said at all, you would immediately assume that this was a story of how Willy Wonka, or atleast some iteration of it, before the trauma. And it makes no sense on how the original movie changed from the books drastically but was praised for if, while this one isn’t even trying to adapt the books, simply an origin story yet people are complaining. It’s one of those things where you’re trying to find the negatives of an adaptation of a franchise instead of appreciating it for what it is.
I love how Alex’s songs are actually good joke songs like he’s actually quite good at it
Agree😄
Me too@@petradegroot3578
Yea am I the only one that would like a full version 😅❤
Daniel Thrasher has new competition
Absolutely. It caught me off guard that he referenced how the English pronounce an “R” in phrases like “law-abiding”.
I love the filter you have that takes away the background track to avoid copywrite... in this particular instance it makes Wonka look like a complete insane person (i mean, beyond the norm), as he's just belting lyrics to no backup track.... like an obnoxious subway train rider.
😂😂😂😂😂
I thought he was putting it through Adobe Enhance, but then I realized that the singing is just really autotuned.
I mean it’s Wonka, what did you expect?
Hugh Grant has been open about how he hated playing the Oompa Loompa, finding the motion capture aspect to be tedious, but signed on because he has several children, and needed the money.
I didn't know that. I forgot this man has kids, I’ve never been able to see him past his romantic comedy roles outside of Cloud Atlas, but at least he's trying.
Wth the man has made a fortune with his older movies, he may have hated the motion capture, but he absolutely was not forced to sign into this for money. He could easily make other movies if he didn't want to be in this one
@@kamsismith I only know the guy from an old tragic gay movie 💀 seeing him as an oompa loompa was very weird lol
"needed"
That explains him being Benoit Blanc's roomie...
(spoilers, I guess?)
Slugworth started sending in people to work for Wonka and steal his recipes. So Wonka fired all the employees and started using just umpaloopas instead. That is what caused his distrust
This was exactly what I was thinking. One reason or another, Wonka cut people out of his life due to distrust. It turned a once whimsical man into someone who lacks care for humans.
Sucks this movie sent slugworth to jail so no way that can happen
Which doesn't fit this canon at all.
@@meshadow4908 he not in jail forever. He can get out in months to years and start over again
@nattynema well a life time of crime. And who would trust him to build his buisness back up
I looked away from the screen and GENUINELY thought Alex was Timothee singing a REAL song ( 2:15 )
Me too!
Fun fact: I had terrible food poisoning when I watched this in theatres, and every scene with any kind of eating made me feel incredibly ill. Then I went to sleep, and all I could think of was the chorus that went like “well there’s chocolate and there’s chocolate” on loop forever.
This sounds so fun lol. Hope youre feeling better.
Hope your feeling better!
LMAOO
Lol something like that happend to me we were pumpkin carving and for some reason since that day anytime I think of pumpkin seeds I throw up including right now hope you feel better
I'm here because I've been thinking of that song on loop for the last few weeks :/
I think the reason for all the remakes, sequels, and prequels is because they either can’t think of new material that hasn’t been done already, or because the people at the top don’t want to take the risk funding it. For them it’s easier to create a story around something already made and it looks like guaranteed money from those who loved the original will most likely come see it. Meaning there is much less risk, also they can spend less on filming it to get more profits
Also nepotism,It's rare now to find new faces that are not related to someone already stablished,there is no pure talent anymore so Its always the same ideas coming from the same people funding their grand children's projects guaranteeing that they appear in an already known tittle.
It's all about risk, yeah. Movies nowadays cost too much to produce, so it's difficult to break even, and relying on preexisting IP instead of creating new ones is safer.
I mean the numbers show that people go to see things they’re familiar with. Smaller and indie studios will be willing to take risks on smaller budgets but if hundreds of millions are going into a movie it’s just not going to be risky, otherwise they would run out of money very quickly. It’s not that deep.
It's really sad how the quality of most movies have gone down. Is it just me or does if seem like the 2020's decade movies are poorly written or just sequels and prequels? Oppenheimer was absolutely amazing. Barbie was good, but I felt like something was missing.
You have to remember, the Wonka in the original spent 20 years in isolation after some of his employees betrayed him by selling his recipes to his competitors.
I wonder where the father in his past is that a dentist who hates candy and that lead to him running away and built his own candy factory
@@majesticgothitelle1802I swear the movie makers didn’t read either of the Wonka books nor watch the other movies
@@cc-terfayPaul had read the book and watched gene’s movie, I believe.
@@RRRRRRAAAAAAA there’s two books not one so I wonder which one he read.
And oof that makes it worse! even though he did watch the 1st movie and read one of the books, he still couldn’t keep the plot accurate to the original story
@@majesticgothitelle1802 That was a completely different Wonka. He doesn't exist in this universe.
"WHAT, YOU'VE NEVER HAD CHOCOLATE!?!?" Wonka said calmly
Edit:1K !)!!?!??! never had many likes before
Still no
@@kirstym. My favorite line XD
@@KATIE-or2tc lol mine too he looks so flabbergasted
@@kirstym. Literally 🤣
Even when Noodle says that line, she looks like she's an unbothered queen
1) Wonka didn’t care for the bratty kids because they were spoiled and selfish, which it why he was upset with Charlie in the end but changed attitude when Charlie gave up the gobstopper. Since Charlie showed character he gave him everything. We was just going to have the kids change their ways after they were all fixed up because he knew they were going to be ok.
2) This is a wonka that hasn’t experienced actual business yet. And business can change a person, especially when it is successful.
The cartel was so ok with killing wonka in the chocolate that you wonder how many bodies are in that chocolate Willy feeds to people in the end.
That scene when they all eat that chocolate was so gross 🤢
To be fair they tried to kill him like three times before, im pretty sure they were just sick of the guy at that point
@@lujancuellar3446 ya it was.
@@the_very_cozy_burrito to be fair they put this option on the table like it's not the first time they killed nor the first time they thought this was sweet irony.
Also its watered down chocolate, so it can't taste good either right?
I think it's implied he made the chocolate machine, like it's shown he's an inventor of complex machinery with the washing machine
Willy Wonka in the original movie was trying to find a kid that isn't selfish or would do something different then what he would do so they can own the company since he is getting old. And each time something bad happened to the kids you noticed that he warns them before they do it. they just don' t listen.
EXACTLY
I mean kids aren’t well known for their restraint and decision making, you wouldn’t trust a kid to drive down and pickup your dry cleaning from across town.
“Stop don’t comeback”
Can we really call this a Wonka origin story when he was already Wonka at the beginning? He already had special and magical chocolate. It should've been him actually becoming Wonka.
That would just be his birth then. And he may have had the candy but he didn’t have the most famous part: the chocolate factory.
Yeah, like his parents aren't even in the movie. They could have done something interesting with them.
He was already gifted. That was boring.
@@cristalblackstar8177he literally mentions he spent 7 years perfecting his chocolate making skills, he ain’t gifted, he just trained super hard
@@cristalblackstar8177 he spent years perfecting his chocolate. That could've been something
Oh Wonka is like a "Europe Land" amusement park set 😂 It's like Britain-France-Germany-Czech Republic country. But some people explicably speak with American accents. Even when their mum is... Irish? maybe? 😂😂 Love it!
“Who’s up Wonkin they Willys?”
Best meme that ever came from this franchise 😂🤷♂️
Lmaoooooo
😢
physically laughed out loud reading this
I think he turned dark because someone betrayed him or something, in the Charlie movie, he turned people away because they took his recipes. I’m not sure about the first one, but that was the lore I kept
In case of doubt, always refer to the Charlie movie. It was incredibly faithful to the book.
Roald Dahl in general wrote dark kids books.
@@CuteHimboI'd say the Gene Wilder movie was a far better movie, but the Charlie movie was more accurate to the book
@@skyraider87 Meh, I liked the Charlie movie a lot more personally.
I know right
Roald dahl actually didn't like willy wonka and the chocolate factory. Wonka isn't supposed to be that uncanny. Charlie and the chocolate factory is much closer to the book in characterization
Help. Police. Murder.
One of my favorite bits in that movie, Gene is pure magic and no one can match that.
In the original Willy wonka, wonka was like that because of people trying to steal his recipes hence why he was grumpy a lot while Timothee’s version was the one who found life as joy and where nobody would go against him just for chocolates
Kind of like Emma Stone's Cruella. Although I can't fathom how she turns evil. I guess we will have to find that out in the sequel.
I know r
@@barbiqueareashe’s obviously not going to be evil, they also made the Maleficent movies with a redeemable Maleficent, it’s going to be a new trend of live action anti-hero “villain” movies
Exactly and to be fair to this movie they do show Wonka had a habit of being too trusting which get's him into trouble more than once. It just was'nt so bad he could'nt get out of it, but it is easy to imagine he hired the wrong people constantly and paid for it so much it turned him cynical.
I thought his dad was a dentist and wasn’t allowed to have candy and he secretly tried all kinds of candy/ chocolate and that’s how he got into the candy making business.. did they forget about Johnny depps movie?! Also I think they should’ve left the singing to the oompa loompas..
That was i the 2005 version. In the original 1971 movie they don't give us any information about his past.
I like this one instead its the lore i know😂
This is a prequel based on the 1971 movie. Johnny depp’s film was a direct adaptation of the book (completely separate)
wth no, why would you want to miss out on such marvelous songs. oompas wouldnt hit like those
Everyone forgets the Depp movie. I prefer it to the wilder version A LOT more
I wish they would have offered cameos to the actors who played the kids in the original. All of them except for Violet are still alive today so it would have been a thoughtful tribute
what happened to violet?

Lol, I was always so confused by that scene. Like I know that the movies are whimsical and weird, but how the heck is his entire house just gone
that backstory makes sense why wonka was so weird. but his dad moving with his entire house was wwiilldddd 🤣🤣
@@emphoenixcat1110 I loved that scene. It made no sense, but it was fucking funny as shit.

Actually, Wonka's shift in personality is co.pletely logical. As we know, Ficlegrubber, Prodnose, and Slugworth are all back up and running by Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and ruin Wonka's life AGAIN by stealing his recipoes. That would send me mentally insane too.
This is the kind of prequel that is jarring enough from the original that it requires a sequel to bridge the gap, and explain the transition.
Maybe that was the point. Allow for a sequel to the prequel which also happens to be a prequel.
Except we do know what happened in between. It's very weird that Alex didn't mention it at all but in the movie (and the book as some people are saying) Wonka was betrayed greatly by his employees and spent years in isolation. That's what caused the character change

2:36 No don’t disrespect roadkill like that lol
I relate so hard to the comment about drinking. I once got pulled over on the way home from work and the cop made me get out of the car and asked if I had been drinking (not sure why, I was just going 5 MPH over). I told him no I was coming home from work. He later asked me again if I had been drinking and I told him I don’t drink. He looked at me like I was insane.
I’ve never had alcohol and people straight up do not believe me lol
sometimes cops are just looking to fuck shit up. Not even joking.
I also never drink any alcohol
My response would've been ok give me a bottle of alcohol and then I'll pour it out right in front of you to show you how much I hate the crap.
I like how wonka can't read in this movie, but he read the no daydreaming sign earlier in the movie
Didn’t someone point it out to him? He didn’t read it himself lol
He didnt?
The sign is pointed to and the cop holds out a hand for the fine. Whether he understood it or saw the number and knew it must be a fine for daydreaming after the guy says "no daydreaming" and points at it, or whether they forgot he couldn't read, i dunno
The officer says "no daydreaming" so Wonka never needs to read it. During the song if you keep count of the coins he has, he should have 6 at that point. The lady with the baby only takes 1, and Wonka loses the last. This means he understood what the officer meant, but still couldn't read the sign as he paid 4 instead of 3.
@@KirbyVoltwhat a keen eye you do have there...
I was so shocked when that one chocolate bar at the end that he had since childhood lasted with him and didn't taste stale or anything from all the years. I can say it was the whimsical magic side too I guess.
Considering all the other things that happened in the movie that defied logic (my favourite one being that people didn't care about eating bugs in their chocolate), this is a pretty small thing.
@XekutoZoren Yeah you're absolutely right. Don't question it just have an open mind and enjoy the fun!
I think chocolate takes a long time to really go bad. Even with bloom on it it’s safe to eat usually. That said, there was no bloom on it either.
The secret ingredient: the strongest preservative the river can provide
That's what you're hung up on in this movie?
I'm gonna be honest, on its own, it's my favorite movie. Full of whimsy that I needed during the time I first watched this
15:28 “thanks maleficent!” IKR! Now that’s every prequel lolz
willy wonka just has to be left alone now
meh, still better than yet another King Arthur, Robin Hood or Batman movie. always the same nonsense.
I still found the prequel better than rubbish tom and jerry willy wonka and the chocolate factory cartoon version because at least in this one slugworth had his own actual dong rather than singing veruca's song
Never would I believe that Alex would be doing WONKA! Anyways, he should also do the Mean Girls musical movie in the future! 1:43 for sponsor skip!
you're a hero
Should absolutely do mean girls, that shit was soooo bad
he analysis every movie
Yeah the amount of prequels, sequels, and so on is insane.. Especially when most of these don't even need a second movie or remake.
4:40 Yo why does the bloke in the middle look like a certain art school reject? Is the wonkaverse more politically unstable than I thought?
Wonka gives me horror movie villain origin story in this thanks to the line delivery, which actually makes sense considering the child ending deathtrap of a factory he ends up with
i always hated the wonka movies because of the deathtraps in the films but i do want to see this movie
Wonka never went out of his way to punish any of the children in the OG. They punished themselves by being greedy and stupid and ignoring the clearly laid out rules and warnings. He just didn't baby them or feel all that sorry for them when their stupidity/greed INDEED landed them in hot chocolate.
Especially bc all of the other kids besides Charlie had their parents pay their way into the Factory. They had no respect for rules bc of how their parents had taught them that they’re above them.
Also, in James and the Giant Peach (The Book), The setting is a seaside town with just a random whimsical man there and the peach also just casually rolls through a chocolate factory, so its safe to assume that those two books are in the same universe, and I love how this movie claims it supports the Roald Dahl Connected universe and then actually follows through with the details
0:42 ah yes, mountains by the coast, VERY 'Londonesque' 🤣
I LOVE THIS MOVIE IT HIT THE KID IN ME PERFECTLY. I loved the songs, I loved how the bad guys sang and the side characters sang . The villains were comically corrupt. And timothy did such a good job as wonka he made the magic feel magical if that makes sense 😂
My favorite movie of all time is Annie and this gave me those vibes.
12:32 oh boy its mr bean
Alex be changing where he puts his "but before that really quick" to keep us on our toes lol
The portrayal of Slugworth, Prodnose and Ficklegruber in this movie made me think of the three evil farmers from Fantastic Mr. Fox, another Dahl book which got a flawless movie adaptation and one which I really loved
2:41
Actually it sounded pretty nice not gonna lie
I absolutely loved this movie, it was so different than I thought it would be, but in a good way. I thought making Willy Wonka more friendly and optimistic was a good choice. He's just starting out, so it makes sense. I also liked the part about him not being able to read because at the end when he reads the note from his mom, he wouldn't have known what she said if Noodle hadn't have taught him
Yeah, I actually enjoyed it too. Then again, I was a big fan of both the Paddington movies and it’s the same screenwriter.
I thought it was very fun. Not every movie needs to be a deep, serious cinematic masterpiece
I found it rather boring and nonsensical. Could've done with a better script
It was a fun watch for me as well. Just a movie you bring a girl to the date with.
I mean, as long as I don't consider it a prequel to the other movies, just it's own thing. Then it works.
The fine print part is funny too because he has the kids sign the contract with the small print no one can read in the original!
After watching it for a few times, this movie feels isn't necessarily supposed to be a prequel (even if it was advertised as so) but rather a love letter to the idea of Wonka that most have in their heads. Even knowing how dark the books and OG movies are I still have this idea of the whimsy of Wonka, and I think the movie captured that idea perfectly. The setting of a young Wonka lends to this because it's supposed to be before he becomes recluse and cynical and completely beaten down by the world, while exploring in part how much of a toll it starts to take on him throughout the movie. This movie definitely should not be handcuffed to the other works but rather tied loosely to the idea, whimsy, and imagination of Wonka and the impact of society therein. But that's just how I feel 😁
but since the whole world around him is weird, then him being weird doesnt make much sense. he no longer stands out as much and tehres a lot of stuff that happens in this movie that dont make sense and theres no foreshadowing as to what mkaes him become insane and cynical
Agreed
With how much he experiments with chocolate, I can imagine he's got a few screws loose from all of those combos. I forget that he talks about how he always wanted to be a magician. Maybe in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, he was having a mid-life crisis? Being a witness to a mid-life crisis, I can tell you, people do some messed up sheit.
The best part of Wonka was the ending... where they recycled musicals from the original and had him in his factory. It's almost as if he belonged in his own little world of magic instead of forcing whimsy on a mundane world.
"This is how people react when I say I have never drank alcohol before."
THANK you. I mean, my friends know and respect this, which is why we are friends, but everyone in college said "why" and when you're 30+ they look at you like you've never had fun in your life.
So taking the movie as its own work separate from the original Willie wonka, this is my favorite movie of the past five years. It was fantastical and fun in a way I haven’t seen in a long time
