David Selzter, who helped write the screenplay (though uncredited) said that Gene's likeability and warmth went a long way since in the book, Wonka is portrayed as a more mysterious and more creepy figure that we see on screen (think of the boat ride scene, stretched to an entire book) Sad to say, Johnny Depp's inferior portrayal is considered a more accurate version of Dahl's Wonka than Wilder's version.

There will be nothing like this movie. Tim buttons version (although interesting) was a bad dream compared to this. This movie this scene especially (with pure imagination playing in the background) is whimsical nostalgic classic yet playful...shit it just makes you happy man.

[@BritishCommentWriter]

Kristian Jackson Roald Dahl hated the Gene Wilder adaptation so much that he stopped them from adapting the sequel novel, "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator". The Burton version was made by giving Dahl's widow, Felicity, and daughter, Lucy, total control over the directors, writers and actors and is far closer to the original book.

[@EggPlanet492]

BritishCommentWriter I doubt that last bit somewhat. Tim Burton is a very headstrong director with a clear vision of where to take his movies. It's been a long time since I've read the book, but I don't remember the remake getting very close to the original tone either. It still very much feels like a Burton film, more than anything, and for better or for worse.

[@Jopo1226]

***** The only thing I recall being the same in the book as the movie was the squirrel scene with Veruca Salt, The kids being shown in their altered state, and the fact Charlie's Dad was alive and working in a factory screwing on toothpaste caps. Everything else was modernized such as Mike Teavee playing video games.

[@BritishCommentWriter]

Jopo1226 Well this thing is primarily being made for modern children. The idea that in a 2005 film you would pay someone to screw on toothpaste caps is silly enough by itself, but a child being obsessed with TV would have had seriously confused 21st century children and turned them off. Just like it would have been if the book had been about a kid obsessed with radio.

[@BritishCommentWriter]

***** I mistyped a little. I meant to say that the Dahl family were given total control over the CASTING of the directors, writers and actors, and would have to be satisfied with the overall outline of the film before they signed off on it. But here's the thing. Burton and Dahl are very much cut from the same cloth. They both like to find delight and wonder in the grotesque. Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before Christmas and Beetlejuice are the kind of things I could see Dahl writing.

There was a reason for that. His father was an absolute dick to him. He wouldn't let him eat chocolate. So he ran away. Living with parents like that make you believe that all parents are like that. Which was why he was the way he was, until Charlie went with him to visit his father again and they made up. Then he took Charlie's whole entire house as well as his family and put them inside the factory.

[@JonasClark]

To put to rest the Dahl case: Dahl signed off on all but a few small details of the script in this movie. The last lines, beginning with, "Don't forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he ever wanted..." were some of the very few bits not directly approved by Dahl. That's not to say that he couldn't have been disappointed with the finished product, just that nearly all of the script was approved. (The approved script had Grandpa Joe just shouting with happiness, but it was suddenly decided that something extra was needed, and the head writer came up with this wonderful exchange on demand in just a few minutes.) Not necessarily to put down the newer film, but to those of us who grew up with this one, no remake or new plot can match this, with its slightly dated feel but with more approachable special effects that don't rely on "you can do anything with CGI" and some very sweet acting, both from people who went on to great acting careers (like Wilder) and from ones who did not (Peter Ostrum).

@@queenofhearts9024 Dahl hated this movie so much, that he wrote into his will that nobody will EVER make a movie about the sequel to this movie/book, called Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. So sadly, as much as we'd love to see the next book made into a movie, Dahl ensured that could never, ever happen by way of his last will and testament (we'll never see Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator OR any versions with any kind of likeness to it whatsoever). 😕

This is also one of those moments that really show Wilder’s acting range. In less than three minutes he just made everybody scared, then laugh, and then cry. Not many actors can do that.

"Don't forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted." "What happened?" "He lived happily ever after." This is the only correct answer.

Sorry, but this is my thought. Don't forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted. What happened? He becomes president in 2016.

[@MasonKLutz]

"I can't go on forever, and really don't want to try." That has always made me sad. When I was younger, I kept on hearing it as "I can't grow old forever," with my brother telling me he believed me it was what he said but correcting me that he is still growing old, he can't control it; and that was when I was super anxious about aging. Just hearing how Willie gave Charlie the chocolate factory, it made me happy but at the same time sad knowing that Willie Wonka is aware of how he was wanting to find some he could trust to run what he has created and how he would someday be gone. Even after Gene Wilder sadly passed, it still made me sad.

[@Aurochhunter]

By now it must be time for Charlie to be sending out golden tickets of his own, wouldn't you say?

[@Zeldafan1ify]

@@shaniamontoya5951 i don't think a soul like Charlie's would want to pass on an heirloom like that to just any of his descendants. I think, knowing Charlie, he'd much rather give it to a stranger's child, if that child's soul is more pure than Charlie's own blood. As an adult, he would want that.

[@nbuehster]

I don't know if this is exactly what you mean. But after this, Charlie would do exactly what Willy Wonka did. (invite five kids to the factory, and kill off four of them)

Get Peter Ostrum to reprise his role as an adult Charlie. That would be interesting to say the least.

[@cullencochran3393]

To me Willy Wonka represents the spirit that tries to push you past your intellect. Equal parts ominous and inviting, he has more power in the story than anyone because it's HIS world because HE chooses to make it. This scene almost feels like Gene Wilder is passing the "baton of silliness" to the next generation, as if to say "Keep things silly while I'm away, never loose sight of the beauty of nonsense. You have the same capacity for wonder and imagination as I do, you're the masters of your own story because it's you who is deciding to tell it. You can even eat the dishes."

[@bphower1]

Wow--very well stated Cullen!

I remember watching this with my whole family sitting together in the living room on the farm. Growing up on that farm wasn't easy and had it's fair share of very difficult times but now when I see clips of movies like this it reminds me of the times when the whole family was together and although we had very little as far as possessions we had the best of what you could have in that room with a tube tv and an antenna on the roof that was lucky to get 6 clear channels. Mom and dad are gone as with the grandparents who lived with us but I'm lucky and privileged to have these memories.
