Film Theory: Willy Wonka RIGGED the Golden Tickets!

If it truly was rigged to begin with, it makes Wonka even more of a business genius than Charlie's grandfather gave him credit for. Instead of inviting five predetermined kids to the tour, Wonka used the rumor of a random-chance event to rake in billions through sales and publicity.

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. ...but that's just a theory

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.

[@marhawkman303]

Hadn't thought of that, but it's true. It's like the tour was setup like a reality TV show with periodic eliminations.

[@andrewwelker7287]

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.

[@anxiousagain8193]

[@Willhelm_Urgestein]

On top of it all they all appear to be able to speak with Wonka and everyone else, which whould also be a logical requirement for the successor, since the tickets aren't limited to 100% english speaking nations there has to be rigging in that regard too.

[@hal1385]

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'.

[@louise6093]

God I hate Veruca.

so Agustus had a sugar rush habit that eventually lead him to the ticket, Violet pretty much got "awarded" for her search, 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.

I figure they would just handwave it away as him knowing the language or having some device do the translating.

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]

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.

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]

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

The Colorization Channel You're right, that's the same logic. People really need to realise that there can be multiple own adaptations, that are not rip-offs of their favourites.

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.

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.

@@VincentKraven I very much wish I could laugh at this or say you were wrong... but it's right on the money. Honestly, that's one of the biggest issues -- money. Public schools very often can't afford to pay teachers what they're actually worth, which means that they can't attract good teachers to work for them, and take what they can get. Add to that the USA's cultural take on teaching as a profession and you've got a recipe for disaster.

Theory Pitch: So, there is this scene in Mary Poppins returns where they need to turn back time, so Mary Poppins enlists the help of the leeries (Lamp Lighters). There seem to be around 30-40 men. They all have ladders, which seem to be around 4-5 feet tall (I could be wrong) and they use them to climb up Big Ben. About halfway up the clock they run out of ladders, so Jack lays a ladder down vertically and walks across it. After he counts down a leerie jumps on the ladder and sends Jack flying up to the clock in Big Ben. I've been wondering if one, you could climb up Big ben the same way they did in the movie, and two, if you could put enough weight on a ladder to send someone flying as high as Jack.

[@kateharmon763]

[@rogeneyusi1943]

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.

[@adamshaw7526]

@Heresy Solo it would most likely be in the billions or trillions to have the strength to lift a two storey wooden house out of the earth and it's foundation and plumbing

[@mityakiselev]

It's a lot. Mythbusters did an episode, one regular helium balloon lifts a very small mass, like a single-digit amount of grams. They lifted a small girl with like half a hangar worth of balloons. Let's say one balloon lifts like 5g and contains 5 liters of helium. Let's say his house weighs 5 tons, then it would take about 1 million balloons, so 5 million liters. Consider the fact that spherical objects don't pack very well, and we get ourselves more than 5000 cubic meters, probably more like 10000, or even more, so basically at least 100ft*100ft*100ft of balloons, like the volume of an apartment building

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 💚🎮)

Let's not forget mike "cracked the code" and literaly traced a ticket from the factory. Veruca was milionaire and her father made a production line to open chocolate bars, which elevates her chances by a lot. Violet also might have had some money in the family and August was literally so adicted to chocolate he almost ate the ticket, so it's save to asume they also opened a considerable amount of chocolate bars

I mean Charlie didn’t open a lot but I guess the rest did

Well in the Gene Wilder film mike it’s not a genius he is just a kid with a tv and guns obsession

[@FreshCarrotsFinally]

As a kid I always just assumed he rigged it to get Charlie since he seemed so determined on Charlie, like he definitely seemed to favorite him a bit. He seems somewhat magic too so I was just like "he magicked it to these certain kids" and left it at that.

Also notice that the choco bar he hands Charlie is propped up on display, placed there separately so he knows what to grab
