"Stop, don't, come back..." I love Gene's deadpan performance as Wonka.

It’s delightful and childlike and sinister. It’s absolutely perfect.

[@Lucas-Stl]

So did he. Even when his Alzheimer’s worsened, he kept it a secret with a smile on his face saying that he “did not want to disappoint the countless young children that would smile or call out to him, ‘There’s Willy Wonka!” “He simply couldn’t bear the idea of one less smile in the world,” he’s family said.

I am so happy to hear someone realize that absolute rage the mom has every right to feel about Grandpa deciding he's better! I always think at the end of the movie how even in the chocolate factory after they move in the mom is going to have to deal with some serious resentment emotional issues

[@nycot107]

When Gene Wilder passed away in 2015, Peter Ostrum (who played Charlie) said it felt like losing a parent. He said even though he knew it was going to happen one day, it still hurt because he knew there would not be another person like him.

[@adriennerobinson8984]

The other children and their parents didn't die, Willy Wonker even tells Charlie near the end that they are going to be fine but a bit wiser having learned their lesson.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

The unusual rock band, Primus, did an homage to this film: They released an album of sort of dark-carnival versions of each song here, titled "Primus and The Chocolate Factory." In addition, in five copies of the CD was enclosed a Golden Ticket, the holder of which has free admission to any Primus performance, ever. The album was dedicated to the memory of Gene Wilder.

Before this film came out, my 4th grade teacher read a chapter a day from the Roald Dahl novel. She had different voices for the characters and took particular pleasure reciting the Umpa Lumpa's rhyming refrains. It was fun learning about these nasty children while their individual demises are memorialized by the Umpa Lympas. 4th graders get the anti-bullying nessage.

[@AngelusBrady]

*Oompa Loompa.

[@AutoPilate]

I remember reading this novel in third grade. The book wasn’t assigned, I just read it on my own. Still a favorite. I got rather the same feeling from reading Coraline by Neil Gaiman as an adult.

[@williamjones6031]

1. I first saw it when I was 10. 2. Ronald Dahl was a well known LSD user. 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 I'm lying or telling the truth." 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.

[@marcusfridh8489]

Actually Wonka planned the tour so the bratty kids would get the punishment they deserved by their own temptations

Grandpa Joe's valuable lesson. "Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." Guess who just got the motivation to "fish for himself" for once, instead of just laying there waiting to be provided for.

[@summerrose8110]

Roasting Granpa Joe is appropriate, he was a fraud and bad influence on Charlie. And had no self awareness that HE was in the wrong, especially when Wonka told them how he knew about them stealing the fizzy lifting drinks.

[@kcirtapelyk6060]

This movie makes me think of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. They came out a few years apart. Both have musical numbers. Both are adapted from books by well known authors. Both have bizarre plots and strange characters, set largely in fantastical locations, and both are just fun to watch.

[@AutoPilate]

It ought to; the original story was written by Ian Fleming (creator of James Bond) and was adapted into a screenplay by Roald Dahl, author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

[@tomyoung9049]

The whole movie is a lesson in morals. The first scene with the candy store confused me when I was very young, why didn't they pay. But I think, the parents that had money (as opposed to Charlies family) could have charge accounts there. The kids come in eat what they want and he bills the parents. Have watched this since it first came out. The remake has some good parts, but does come off as darker and a touch creepy. As I understand, they were trying to be more realistic with Wonkas behavior if he were some type of eccentric recluse.

[@marycanary]

I agree with you about the parents setting up a charge account for there child/children at the local candy store.This is the only film version of this story that I actually like because the other one Contains dark humor and I am definitely not into those kind of movies.

[@chrismetafora6565]

Gene Wilder is also in Silver Streak. Depp is also in Nick of Time. Riverboat tunnel scene Wilder was acting. Other actresses and actors did not know that. Thus, their reactions were real. Roald Dahl loved chocolate as a kid. Thus, the movie. Matilda was about his terrible experience in English private boys' schools.

[@joshridderhoff2050]

Loved Silver Streak when I was younger... always wished someone would react to that one, but haven’t found anyone who has done so yet. Great movie; Gene & Richard Pryor made quite the pair.

[@henrikharbin5521]

Hi Kat :) I first saw this film at the Fox Theater when I was 6 years old in 1971. I always wondered where the factory was so I could visit. Trivia: Peter Ostrum, the boy who played Charlie, quit acting after this movie. His family bought a horse and he learned how to care for it, which led to him becoming a vet in New York. He didn't talk about the movie until the 90s, and he now makes appearances at conventions.

[@Drakin292]

Couple of cool facts. First, Gene Wilder only agreed to play the part if he could open with that exact scene of hobbling with the cane, missing it, and falling into a summersault. None of the cast were allowed to know before the filming either. What he wanted was Wonka to be the sort of excentric who you could never be sure what he was going to do. Second, the outburst in the office was also told to none of the cast, they wanted completely authentic reactions and Gene appologized profusely afterwords to the actor who played Charlie for scaring him.

[@Duke00x]

I heard the tunnel scene was also a surprise to the cast. And that the reactions were completely real.

[@cherylwhite2189]

Yes!!. He was so funny in so many of his movies. Loved him and Pryor together.

[@spaceshiplewis]

I'm a tad bit late, but I wanted to say that it seems like the grandparents don't move from the bed because they are conserving energy. That way they can survive on just cabbage water. (realistically they should get up and walk around simply to prevent bedsores, evacuate their bowels, and change their sheets) Grandpa Joe seems to be the most cognizant of the four and able to entertain Charlie with stories hence him being Charlie's favorite.

This is based on a book (well, there are a few books) by Roald Dahl. The book was called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but Roald Dahl wasn't a fan and refused for it to be named after his book.

"But Charlie, don't forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted." "What happened?" "He lived happily ever after."

For the sake of believability, director Mel Stuart didn't tell him the truth.

[@cd-vq6dz]

clearly I'm late to the game on my comments Kat, but I wanted to applaud you on your thoughts regarding this film, and I couldn't agree more about what this movie truly represents. I especially like the fact that you (unlike so many other reactors online) didn't chide or criticize Wonka when he initially refused to grant Charlie anything - because Charlie broke the rules. He only gave him everything after Charlie (in a manner of speaking) apologized for what he had done wrong. I see so many reactions to this movie- and so many other reactors get angry when Wonka initially punishes Charlie at the end for breaking the rules, and I think to myself....this is what's wrong with the world. People just believe that breaking the rules shouldn't have any consequences, which is especially a terrible idea to instill in a child. And you picked up on this immediately which I found very refreshing Kat. In the end Wonka forgave Charlie because Charlie expressed regret about what he had done wrong, which I also think is a great lesson (forgiveness), but a lot of people watch this film and seemingly don't get that it's about instilling the proper values in children so that they become good people when they reach adulthood. Don't be greedy, tell the truth, live up to your word or pre -arranged agreements/contracts, and most of all that there are almost always consequences for bad behavior (though unfortunately some people get away with bad things sometimes). That's really what this film is all about. I truly and sincerely believe in compassion and empathy, and forgiveness (as I stated), but there have to be rules, especially for children as they develop. And there have to be consequences if those rules aren't followed. Otherwise society..............I'll just say that I can guarantee it won't be good.

Ronald Daryl hated children, and he blamed bad parents. Which makes him a great children's author.
