[@Mia-dt3gl]

I think Wonka only yelled at Charlie and Grandpa Joe because he wanted Charlie to win all along. He knew the other children would inevitably fail, and so he wouldn't want any of them to win anyway. But when Charlie and Grandpa Joe took those drinks they betrayed Wonka's trust, and it hurt him more than anything the other children did.

[@dannigro8794]

Mia He knew Charlie was good at heart just curious. The fuzzy lifting drinks didn't seem that big a deal for him Bc everyone makes mistakes. The point is he was testing Charlie and he passed.

[@hench1985]

Wonka was not mad at Charlie. He was pointing and yelling at Grandpa Joe because he had Charlie break the rules. Wonka wanted Charlie to win the whole time.

[@nbuehster]

Why did Charlie have to be involved? I didn't think about it until now, but I would think that, when Grandpa Joe said "I'm gonna find out.", it was just going to be him and Wonka talking privately about what happened. (like it was none of Charlie's business) I think a better (less traumatic) way to do the scene would have been just those two yelling, with Charlie out of the picture so he wouldn't hear them. Then, after they were done yelling, Grandpa Joe would walk out of the room, close the door and say everything he said before Charlie turns around and gives Wonka the gobstopper. "Come on, Charlie, let's get out of here..." Then Charlie would enter the room and give Wonka the gobstopper. Gene couldn't warn Peter about the yelling. But if they did it this way, it would be sort of a subtle warning. (Before Grandpa Joe entered the room, he would say something like "Charlie, you wait out here while I talk to Wonka.".)

[@soulswordobrigadosegostar]

not really though,he was judging the kids as actual people,so when Charlie breaks the rules,he is not being better than anyone else,and Wonka shouting here is proof of that,what makes him a good kid is that he has no intention of harm to Wonka,he has respect for him,grandpa Joe is already a product of society,as much as every other parent,he however thinks highly of his grandson and knows that you shouldn't do that to a kid...build up his dreams only to make it fall under a line of a contract,like a scheme...

[@CeilingFanVideosOnYT]

Wonka was pretending to be mad, just to see how Charlie would react, if he would be a good sport, or be a bad sport and try to give everlasting gobstopper to Slugsworth. Charlie was a good sport, which made him pass the test and won!

[@nbuehster]

Does anybody besides me compare this movie to our elections? My mom (and I'm pretty sure other people) said rich people and corporations knew from the beginning exactly who would be the nominee, just like Willy Wonka knew from the beginning that Charlie was going to be the winner. This movie doesn't really make me think about that, because Charlie almost lost. But the 2005 movie does.

As I got older and learned to put my feelings to the side, I became more of a fan of Wonka. There's a reason he lives in a factory 🏭 away from the normie population that are all indoctrinated and crab 🦀 in a bucket 🪣 minded individuals. Wonka is the up front and tell it like it is persona while everyone else is either politically correct or selfish and spoiled. I even see the resemblance of what their civilization is in today's society. That's why Wonks doesn't even try to stop them from doing asinine things and watched as the parents do little to nothing to stop their bratty kids. Call me a sadist, bust I was as satisfied as Wonka watching 👀 the kids learn their lessons the hard way (if they learned).

[@SuperfineList]

+joseph stanford I'll try my best but even this rant doesn't do the topic full creative justice. This adaptation of Dahl's book has heavy jewish allegorical cultural references due to director and actors heritage. From oompa loompa songs with bits of solomons wisdom. to artsy 3/4 (numbers reference) waltz imagination song crouching back to stature of child. Satan (mr slugworth is the polar opposite of wonka) but works for Wonka too despite his seemingly nefarious purpose. everything is halved in wonka because we are wired to only see half the truth. the whole thing is loaded with symbolism and the gobstopper is like the pinnacle of science where we "bump into the ceiling" because getting high and alcohol. Then Charlie sees the fan drawing near, panics and burps back down sobering up (Grizzly Reaper Mowing allegory). I'd wager this is fractal geometry that is infinite and manifests itself in the Lord's creation patterns (rivers, veins, lightning, wind, beaches, ferns, branches, roots, black holes, etc...) all have it. So by giving back to God his knowledge and not seeking to manipulate its natural laws for profit (slugworth) we can return to a state of paradise. A psychedelic tunnel ride into our minds reveals the light at the end of the tunnel. wonkavision is ultimately a symbolic 4D teleporter which is a God concept too. metaphorically its like if humans could observe a sim city universe develop with machine learning AI given free will and an instruction manual of riddles that no one person could ever solve on his own but rather takes a group of earths wisest men a predictably long time to sort out. The artists of today are capturing the theme well to an open third eye observer. They are the Music Makers and the Dreamers of Dreams. If you watch Mr robot at all, Abrahamic allegory show up a lot too. Dog returning to vomit proverbial scene and more by Sam Esmail.

+Stephen R He was trully a national treasure.

[@mzch]

To his credit even though Wilder couldn't forewarn Ostrum about what was about to happen, he keeps his rage focused on Grandpa Joe (both because Joe was an adult and could handle being yelled at, and ultimately because it was his idea to steal the drinks and should've known a lot better)

[@LuneyTune72]

People miss the point, Grandpa Joe isn’t evil or a mistakenly written character, he’s intentionally representative of the adults who are jaded and have given up hope on the world. Meanwhile Charlie represents purity and optimistic faith and goodness, and it’s his act of selflessness that continuously rewards him and teaches the old (Grandpa Joe) how to have hope again. It’s a brilliant contrast of characters two generations apart bonded by family. Dahl’s good writing shows because Grandpa Joe doesn’t completely snap out of it right away (not after the golden ticket, not after entering the factory, not after being treated, etc) because he’s still an adult and his jaded adulthood and selfishness is what creates conflict for Charlie. But in the end, you see Grandpa Joe finally understand the reward of true selflessness. The bad guys are the families who lose, and the spoiled children who are born rotten and have little hope of ever being good, only ever failing upwards in life. It seems like Ronald Dahl write this book from the perspective of Wonka. Working hard his whole life and maintaining his childlike hopefulness at his core through candy (or for Dahl, children’s books). The message of this movie resonates with a lot of kids whether you’re a Charlie or a spoiled brat. And for adults, they relate to Grandpa Joe but their jadedness is tested by Charlie. Dahl/Wonka are the puppeteers of the world in this story, engineering the outcome so that good triumphs in the end.

The reason why Willy Wonka has half of everything in his office is that director Mel Stuart couldn’t bear the idea of ending the film in an ordinary, boring office after the whimsical and extraordinary rooms in the rest of the factory, so they created the ‘Half-Office’ to give Wonka that extra dose of eccentricity. Later on the Wonka website, this would summarised by Wonka saying “Half an office is better than none.”

Why did Charlie have to be involved? I didn't think about it until now, but I would think that, when Grandpa Joe said "I'm gonna find out.", it was just going to be him and Wonka talking privately about what happened. (like it was none of Charlie's business) I think a better (less traumatic) way to do the scene would have been just those two yelling, with Charlie out of the picture so he wouldn't hear them. Then, after they were done yelling, Grandpa Joe would walk out of the room, close the door and say everything he said before Charlie turns around and gives Wonka the gobstopper. "Come on, Charlie, let's get out of here..." Then Charlie would enter the room and give Wonka the gobstopper. Gene couldn't warn Peter about the yelling. But if they did it this way, it would be sort of a subtle warning. (Before Grandpa Joe entered the room, he would say something like "Charlie, you wait out here while I talk to Wonka.".)

[@mnightshyamalan.]

yeah but the whole point of the movie is to not get any harm done to you and give the everlasting duckstopper to wanker at the end

[@Ih8kone]

Craig Eager Just drank them

[@Vicininater]

Which is why I'd say the "stealing" of fizzy lifting drink is a purposeful red herring. Wonka wants them to think they've failed because of the drinks, not because of the gobstopper Charlie has in his pocket (which Wonka is aware of). Thus, when Charlie returns the gobstopper (the true reason he would fail), Wonka says Charlie passed the test. It's also why he says "I knew you'd pass, I just knew you would. Sorry for putting you through this." "This" being the fizzy lifting drink ruse where he pretends to be angry and upsets them.

[@clayaggeles]

I hate doing comment essays but this one I gotta try. I presumed Willy Wonka was just a weird movie about candy but I believe it’s truly about beauty, creativity and the love that cannot be bought nor sold from making dreams a reality. Wonka was testing them. This was a final test, if Charlie were to inherit the factory he would inherit the pain that Wonka himself had to go through in franchising his product. Legal work and the “sell” can truly rob the beauty and innocence of the experience it is to make something fantastical. In the end Grandpa Joe was no different than the other parents. “If you want this, I’ll get it for you, screw him.” Charlie didn’t want the chocolate. He was amazed and in love with the wonder of it. Which stood out when he passed this test. Doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor, you can either embrace life with love and thankfulness for its beauty or pessimistically and greedily because of your own selfishness. Charlie’s humility to bring the candy back to Wonka made him immediately qualified. It’s not about what you get. What you get is in fact what you give, and the giving the candy back to Wonka because it still would mean that much to Charlie regardless if he inherited it or not was what the gesture meant. So, movie ain’t just about chocolate. Especially in the room with everything halfway done. The office shows something is missing, half of it. Don’t sell your authenticity and love of life for a buck. Share it with others.

This scene demonstrates a powerful life lesson for all of us: to be responsible and to do the right thing. Wonka wasn’t mad at Charlie, he was mad at Grandpa Joe for not being a responsible guardian because he urged Charlie to break the rules by drinking the Fizzy Lifting Drinks. Charlie was unaware what they were doing was wrong. Unlike the other kids, Charlie wasn’t selfish or spoiled and that’s why Wonka wanted Charlie to win. He blew up like this because he wanted to test Charlie if he would do the right thing. Charlie had an easy out where he could’ve walked out with the Everlasting Gobstopper’s secret recipe and made so much money. So much he could’ve gotten his entire family out of poverty, but he didn’t. He chose to do the right thing and therefore was rewarded. Doing the right thing is never wrong. What you put out there in life will come right back at you.

[@KatOnline]

Correction, Charlie knew what he did was wrong because He knew Wonka told them not to drink it. But instead of listening to him, he listened to his grandpa and trusted him that it would be fine to rebel. Sure the grandpa urged and tempted him to do it but He still was also at fault. Wonka was disappointed in Charlie and mad at the grandpa. The rest of what you said though was correct.

The world is weary and dark and grey but doing good even to the people who spite you brightens it up.

There was no question that Charlie was going to get the lifetime supply of chocolate, but Wonka saw this as an opportunity to teach him one final lesson that not everyone in the world should be rewarded and that the Gobstopper would only be given to people who forgive others with a fair heart and mind.
