Film Theory: Willy Wonka RIGGED the Golden Tickets!

[@anunlitmatchstick5698]

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

[@SylvEdu]

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.

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.

[@lilianas5874]

yeah, I'm pretty sure they were as he was picking his next successor from the kids by weeding out anyone too greedy or rude or spoilt etc

[@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.

[@Wanderer1258]

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.

But what if someone who is an adult without a child found a ticket? Assuming they had to nephews or other family members to give it to, would they just give it to a random kid on the street? Sell it online?

[@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.

[@johnather]

Cept the kid who found it based on the distribution system (he was also hostile towards him as well though) Edit: but yeah that isn't then legitimate either is it

I like this theory,the only problem is we see "slugworth" bring in a box of Wonka bars.

[@spooderman6312]

@@johnather I thought the same

[@frozenfiredarknight3764]

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. (quick note. I watched *Charley* and the chocolate factory more than the original *Willy Wonka* version. so my references are more on Charley than Willy Wonka)

Also taking in mind that it was a multimillion dollar company, in the hypothetical chance that someone that didn't speak english could've gotten the ticket, Wonka would've had no problem hiring an interpreter

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.

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.

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.

[@marhawkman303]

@@TheSteelmushroom I'd argue that Wonka fels that if he just hands it over Charlie won't appreciate it, and that if Charlie thinks he earned it that he'd cherish it more.

@@marhawkman303 That another good point but was it worth it? Maybe, though if Charlie didn't appreciate or at least worked hard with the company then he wouldn't be able to support his family. And it can be a bit hard to tell if Wonka cares for just his business to continue or if he wants the new owner to enjoy working there. So it unclear at this point since there a lack of evidence.

[@marhawkman303]

@@TheSteelmushroom Also it's unclear what Wonka expects of Charlie. Wonka's not retiring tomorrow, so Charlie's gonna have to work for his inheritance. Yeah he said "it's yours" but only in the context of Charlie being the next owner after Wonka passes ownership on. The only immediate change is Charlie and his family being allowed to relocate immediately.

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.

[@ericbeilmann3649]

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.

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.

I love how he talks about his theories like they happen in real life.

[@BC_Carle]

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 💚🎮)

You should make a theory about how the rooms that they go to are what the kids like, example with violet boagard, there was a room with gum even though Wonka hates gum. Which also means he’s been spying on all five of the kids and everything was perfectly laid out for Charlie so he could find them,it’s kinda weird that he found a ten dollar bill in the street. Wonka also knew that Charlie was poor and gave him chocolate and this all can be proven for both movies. Also Wonka knew that all the kids would be attracted by all the rooms and there wasn’t a room that had anything Charlie liked.

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.

We also can't forget that not every group of people out there like chocolate. There's also markets where people either don't/can't spend much on candies or like chocolate that much so there won't be as much of it going to those areas and therefore the chances of a ticket going to there goes down too.

True now matap needs to restart the whole theory 😂

[@notagoat281]

True, but virtually everyone wants the golden ticket, so chocolate sales, specifically Wonka sales, skyrocket even in those regions, causing suppliers to order more. He covered the people who _can't_ spend that much money on chocolate in the video, but I think the popularity factor of chocolate likely gets at least partially canceled out by the demand for the golden ticket. I mean, this contest had worse odds of winning than the lottery, but where you rarely ever see many people scrambling to buy hundreds of lottery tickets, pretty much _everyone_ is scrambling to try to get a golden ticket, so we know the contest's popularity alone is more than enough to make up for the possible lack of popularity of chocolate itself.

give Matpat a % of people who don't like chocolate from 1970 and I'm sure he'll work it in

Gotta respect how Matpat did all this heavy complicated research only to reveal that it’s pointless in the end

Hey MatPat, here’s a neat fact about 11:30 : The ‘clear’ version of Coca Cola was invented just so it could be sold there. That’s the summary, but there is a little more so I recommend a little more research if you want a Food Theory or something.

The reason lots of the things in the movie are British is because the book is set in England

[@ashleyashleym2969]

Ohhh, I thought it was set in the UK! I read the book first and assumed the movie just misrepresented the book.

Episodes are often written in advance of recording, which is followed by editing, and finally scheduled for upload, in this case to coincide with another upload. This may have been written last year.

6:56, though the original book was published in 1964 so that raises the question of if the movie were set at a different time than the book was
