Fun fact: The actresses who played Veruca and Violet had a huge crush on the kid who played Charlie, and they would spend all the time they could with him.

[@j.woodbury412]

Some more fun facts: 1. The casts' scared reaction in the tunnel scene was real. When Willy Wonka started ranting, Julie Dawn Cole (Veruca Salt); Denise Nickerson (Violet Beauregard) and Peter Ostrum (Charlie Bucket) really though Gene Wilder was having a psychotic breakdown. 2. It was Gene Wilder's idea to have Willy Wonka come out of the factory with a gimpy leg and then do a summersault and end up walking normally. He told the director, Mel Stuart that he wanted to do that, because then people would always wonder if he was lying or telling the truth. 3. When they rehearsed the scene where Willy tells Charlie and Uncle Joe that he doesn't get the lifetime supply of chocolate because he broke the rules, he played the scene as more disappointed than angry, so when they filmed the scene and Willy starts yelling at Charlie and Uncle Joe, Peter Ostrum and Jack Albertson's scared reactions were real.

Americans just don't have the slightest clue what a "fact" is...

[@KierrokCyclone]

There's a fan theory that has never been confirmed, nor denied, but some think the Candy Man is an agent for Willy Wonka. He knows how Charlie is a kind young man, who does things for others and hardly asks for anything in return. He knew the Wonka Bar he handed Charlie was the winner, this would be why he suggested Charlie buy it instead.

[@thaddeusskywalker5293]

If I remember correctly, there was supposed to be a deleted scene that confirms this theory.

[@maximillianosaben]

This movie for me is straight up magical cinema, similar to The Wizard of Oz. Plus, both happen to be dark comedies, this one especially usually by courtesy of Gene Wilder.

[@BigSplenda1885]

I love this movie especially all the adult humor, sarcasm and wit

[@ryanboutr7756]

Don't forget about the man who suddenly got everything he ever wanted, he lived happily ever after

[@squeebers]

49:30 I think the kids met up with Slugworth (Mr. Wilkinson) outside the factory gates and received the money for the gobstopper and that was their "promised" prize. I think that Willy Wonka was upset that Charlie broke the rules. And he was begining to think Charlie wouldn't pass the test. Then, Charlie did.

[@biguy617]

This is the best version of the story. Gene Wilder will always be Willy Wonka to me.

[@biguy617]

@viviennemorgan7217 just because a movie doesn't stay true to the book doesn't make it bad. The Kubrick Shining isn't like it the book and it is a masterpiece. The miniseries is closer to the book but since it is made for TV it isn't as scary as the Kubrick movie. Gene Wilder is more charming that Johnny depp the children are better in the original. I thought the squirrel scene was too dark. I didn't like that all the Loompas, in the remake are CG duplicates of one dwarf actor. There were more drawn actors playing the Loompas in the original. It is just a better movie. Also when you see Wonak candy sold in stores whose image is used on the candy? Gene or Depp. Gene Wilder's image is on the candy because he is the true Wonka!!

[@viviennemorgan7217]

@@biguy617 so what, gene wilder's willy wonka uses scary images, while johnny depp's willy wonka has us going on a boat ride, the kids in the original doesn't Sound bratty or guttoney enough in the original but in the 2005's version the 4 kids do Sound guttonenious and bratty enough, so I don't care if gene wilder's Version is better, the 70's looks like a complete rip off of the book and doesn't fit in with the story, all 4 kids disappeared without a trace more possible that they're all dead, while the 4 kids are alive in the 2005 Version.

[@musicstar693]

Omg u guys iconic movie. This entire movie was filmed in Munich Germany and....... An iconic actor plays Willy Wonka

[@thiagoteixeira6537]

This movie's a lot funnier than I remember!

[@disneyslittleeinsteinsfan8602]

Charlie and the chocolate factory is one of my favorite Roald Dahl stories. I remember when I was a kid at Woodlands Elementary School in 5th Grade in 2008 my teacher Mrs. Molly read the book to not only me but to all of the students in her class. Around the same time we did a class project where we made a float for the story book parade and we have to draw some pictures of different scenes from the book. Then one year later in 2009 when I was in 6th Grade I did a school play where my principal Mr. McCormick played Grandpa Joe and I was the giant Wonka Bar passing out the programs and operating the curtains. Fast forward to 2019 I saw the stage show. It started in London's West End in 2013 and now the national tour has landed in Seattle's Paramount Theatre. I like the show and it is a blend of both of the 1971 Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory movie and the 2005 Charlie and the chocolate factory movie but there is one complaint of what I don't like about the show is they used adult actors to play Augustus, Veruca, Violet and Mike. That is the only problem I'm having with the show because the problem with this casting with adult actors to play the four nasty kids is they don't look like kids. When they are standing next to their parents they look about the same age and when they are standing next to Charlie which was the only child actor in the show they are too tall. A lot of audiences who saw the show on Broadway and on tour in the U.S. are never going to notice that but for me that really bugs me because when I saw School Of Rock and Matilda The Musical when they were on tour in the U.S. they had child actors on stage. For me I think casting adult actors to play the four nasty kids in the show is a bad idea and a bad decision that the producers have made when the show first came to Broadway. Plus when the adult actors are playing Augustus, Veruca, Violet and Mike in the Broadway and National Tour versions of the show they are really awful in their acting, comedy and how they preform. Out of all of the performances of Charlie and the chocolate factory live on stage I like the London's West End version a lot better because they used child actors to play Augustus, Veruca, Violet, Mike and Charlie. Their casting of child actors to play the five Golden Ticket winners is much better than the Broadway and National Tour versions I saw a few years later. Plus when the show started in London they know what they were doing for the casting of child actors in the show and they got it right. Compare to the Broadway and National Tour versions they used adult actors to play Augustus, Veruca, Violet and Mike which doesn't make any since and they got the casting of the characters in the show wrong. Every time they do a stage play of Charlie and the chocolate factory in America after the success of the West End version the Broadway/National Tour and UK Tour versions always get's the show wrong. The Broadway and U.S. Tour versions of Charlie and the chocolate factory needs to pay attention more on the West End version and do more research on their auditioning process for child actors to be in the show because Broadway is being so lazy when it comes to casting to play the characters in the show. They also ruined a bunch of 9 and 10 year old boys and girls dream of being a naughty kid on stage. The show did great on Broadway and on tour in the U.S. it's just it wasn't the right casting. Other than that another con about the show is that it had no exit song for Violet after she chewed the three cores dinner chewing gum and the show is going from kid friendly to dark when during the Nutcracker Suite the squirrels tore Veruca apart. Plus during the song When Willy Met Oompa one of the Oompa Loompas spits a dart and exploded Violet while her Dad was taking her daughter to the Juicing Room. I wouldn't take a kid to see this show on Broadway in America if I were you because the Broadway and National Tour version did not share the same success as the London's West End version. Not only they made it very inappropriate to cast adults to play the four nasty kids and made it too dark for kids to see but the sets are not like the West End version. Reviews of the Broadway production were mixed to negative, with some critics citing poor staging and restructuring of the story as primary issues and the show close on 14 January 2018, after 27 previews and 305 performances in New York. The West End version of the show in London on the other hand made roughly 4 times it's reviews so the Broadway and National Tour versions of the show in the U.S. was definitely a step back. I'm going to give the Broadway and National Tour version of Charlie and the chocolate factory a 7 out of 10 for the adult actors playing the four nasty kids, making the show dark, no exit song for Violet, the squirrels taring Veruca apart and one of the Oompa Loompas spits a dart and exploded Violet. When the show is back on Broadway and back on tour in the U.S. I hope they will correct this in the future and allow child actors on Broadway and National Tour to play Augustus, Veruca, Violet and Mike in Charlie and the chocolate factory. They also need to make the show less dark, more kid friendly and make it a little more like the West End version and the 1971 and 2005 films. Not only that, if the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle or any other Theatre in the United States and the United Kingdom want to recreate their own stage production of Charlie and the chocolate factory and make it a better version and get a revival on Broadway and on tour in the UK and USA then they not only they need to include child actors to play Augustus, Veruca, Violet, Mike and Charlie but here are the songs they should use for act 1 and act 2 from the West End version, Broadway version and stage school/community theatre productions of Willy Wonka. Act 1: 1. Opening 2. Golden Age of Chocolate 3. The Candy Man 4. Almost Nearly Perfect 5. The Amazing Fantastical History Of Mr. Willy Wonka 6. News Of Augustus/More Of Him To Love 7. News Of Verruca/When Verruca Says 8. Think Positive 9. News Of Violet/The Queen Of Pop 10. News Of Mike/It's Teavee Time! 11. Cheer Up Charlie 12. Think Positive (Reprise) 13. Don'cha Pinch Me, Charlie/I've Got A Golden Ticket 14. It Must Be Believed To Be Seen Act 2: 1. Strike That, Reverse It 2. The Chocolate Room/Simply Second Nature 3. Augustus' Downfall/Auf Wiedersehen Augustus Gloop 4. Oompa Loompa 1 5. There's No Knowing 6. Gum!/Juicy! 7. Oompa Loompa 2 8. In This Room Here 9. Flying/Burping Song 10. I Want It Now 11. Oompa Loompa 3 12. Vidiots 13. Oompa Loompa 4 14. Pure Imagination 15. Finale

Haven't watched yet so dotn know if you discuss this, but I'd love you all to watch the 2005 version because I'd love to see how you guys react to that one compared to this. It's very underrated imo

I'm so glad you laughed at the "move the test to Monday before we've learned it" line. Such an underrated moment!

[@djgrant8761]

The cup flower that Gene Wilder drinks from and then bites was made out of wax. Gene Wilder said in an interview he had to wait till Mel Stuart said “Cut” before he could spit it out.

[@Stratelier]

You know this was produced in the 1970s when the Oompa-Loompa's song about Violet lowkey recommends chewing gum _as a substitute for smoking._

[@Andrew_Thannen]

Fun fact: It was Gene Wilder's idea to have Wonka make his grand first appearance by limping out with a cane, then doing a somersault to surprise everyone. Not sure if this was the intention he had in mind, but it also sets up the tone that for the rest of the movie, nothing is what it seems with Wonka or the factory.

[@Stratelier]

No, it was definitely his intention (in fact, also a condition for signing on to the part).

[@squeebers]

46:14 The boat ride through the tunnel shows each of their fears. Everyone else's was the fear of bugs, gross animals, animals dying, other general creepy crawlies. But Charlie's was Slugworth. A man who was a perceived threat, not to Charlie, but to Wonka. I just find that an interesting, nice touch.

[@brianrecinos3914]

What I liked about this movie is its allegorical use of the 7 Deadly Sins through its characters. Augustus Gloop: Gluttony Mike Teevee: Sloth Veruca Salt: Greed Charlie Bucket: Envy The people who searched for the golden tickets: Lust Violet Beauregarde: Pride Willy Wonka: Wrath

[@marcusfridh8489]

And grampa Joe is sloth, bedridden for 20 years and as soon as the golden ticket comes up, i miraculously can both walk and dance. Pride, he sings that he's got a golden ticket, even though it was Charlie that found it. Greed, he was the one who got the idea that they should taste the fuzzy lifting drinks, not Charlie.

One of my favorite moments is when Willy unlocks the music door and he’s clearly playing Mozart but Mike Teevee’s mom smugly says “Rachmaninoff”. “We are the music-makers. And we are the dreamers of dreams.”

[@andyleclerc3600]

My fan theory is that Wilkinson/Slugworth knew where all 5 tickets were, and as soon as he got word one was found, Wonka dispatched him with instructions.

[@Stratelier]

He may have been secretly informed which _shipment_ had one, played his part for each winner, then returned to help inform Wonka about the character of each person.

[@williamjones6031]

1. I first saw it when I was 10. 2. Ronald Dahl the book author was a well-known LSD user. (you can see why) 3. The Umpa Lumpas told the reverent portion of the story. Anything beyond that would have been unnecessary and overkill 4. I suspect Wonka knew which children would win the tickets (lessons for our behalf) because Slugworth was at the scene almost immediately. 5. Many people (especially women) seem to get a creepy feeling from Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka. 6. This is the only roll Peter Ostrum/Charlie. He's now an Veterinarian. 7. After reading the script, Gene Wilder said he would take the role of Willy Wonka under one condition: that he would be allowed to limp, then suddenly somersault in the scene when he first meets the children. When director Mel Stuart asked why, Wilder replied, that having Wonka do this meant that "from that time on, no one will know if it's real or not." Stuart asked, "If I say no, you won't do the picture?" and Wilder said, "I'm afraid that's the truth." 8. Fun fact: Veruca/Julie Dawn Cole didn't have any adult with her when they went to Germany to film the movie so Gene Wilder himself stepped in to make sure she was taken care of.😎 9. You can get away with anything in a musical.

[@jimhoyt5]

The scene where Willy Wonka's cane gets stuck and he does that somersault was Gene Wilder's idea. He said that after that you would never know if Willy Wonka was telling the truth or lying.

[@Cheepchipsable]

Forward roll, not a somersault, big difference.

[@actaeon299]

I don't think it was about giving the gobstopper back at the end. I think it was giving it back, as an apology. Charlie showed, that he could make a mistake, as we all do, and that he would show sorrow for his transgression. The other children made mistakes. But there was no apology or contrition.

[@peteg475]

Also, Grandpa Joe talked Charlie into breaking the rules. It was really his fault. I think Wonka knew that, so he gave the kid a second chance at the end, and Charlie passed the test.

[@oliverbrownlow5615]

What makes that scene so moving for me is that Charlie and his family need the money that he could get by selling the gobstopper more than any of the other kids. It must represent a much greater temptation to him than it does to the others. When he returns it, he is giving up the only object of significant monetary value that he possesses, and walking away with absolutely nothing. As you suggest, I think he does this partly as an apology and tacit acknowledgment of the justice of Wonka's accusation. As I've said elsewhere, I believe he also does it because he forsees that if he keeps it, the temptation to sell it will eventually become irresistible. It's a dazzling display of personal integrity.

[@AutoPilate]

I read this book in third grade. Wasn’t even assigned, just read it on my own. Then I watched the movie, this was about 1981 or so. Whoa. It’s a perennial favorite. Anyway, if I could have a lickable wallpaper, I’d have to say snozzberries. Because I just want to know what they taste like. 🤔

It is so funny how this movie bombed bad in the theaters and the writer of the book hated it. It has become such a classic. The remake the family demanded was more in line with the book.

[@SakuraAvalon]

Many movies have bombed, and then become successful from TV airings, and physical home sales. Usually the flop is caused by poor timing(such as releasing next to giant blockbusters that overshadow it), poor marketing, the wrong generation or a mix of these.

Dahl co-wrote the screen play for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but the original story was by Ian Fleming, (who wrote the Bond novels).
