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 love how Alex’s songs are actually good joke songs like he’s actually quite good at it
-
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.
-
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.
-
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 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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
"WHAT, YOU'VE NEVER HAD CHOCOLATE!?!?" Wonka said calmly
-
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.
-
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 looked away from the screen and GENUINELY thought Alex was Timothee singing a REAL song ( 2:15 )
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
tbh we really didnt need this film but i really enjoyed it. it kept this fun whimsical feeling the og willy wonka film had and thats why i liked it sm cuz it wasnt a cut out of the 2005 charlie and the chocolate factory film which was really creepy (cuz of tim burton) and it reminded me so much of paddington
-
My favorite part is definitely "Oh...oh...Oh...Ooh..oh-" Like that was so unnecessarily needed.
-
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.
-
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!
