Why I Hate The Wonka Movie

[@cowl6867]

The Johnny Depp version is actually as close to the book you can get. Roal Dahl absolutely hated the gene wilder version, and said it was nothing like he wrote about including wonka. The Depp version was actually being produced by Roal's wife. Willy Wonka isn't supposed to be whimsical or charismatic at all! He's a genius and an anti-social outcast who doesn't like people and is socially awkward. I'd look into the Depp version deeper, because there's a lot more hidden details and story that did far better than Gene's version

[@jonplaud]

Totally agree how the Depp version was closer to the book. But, what Depp missed that Wilder had was magical.

[@quietchicken6022]

This

[@lug358]

Okay but Gene had an interpretation of the character that will be forever the most looked up upon. May be that Dhal did not want people to think Wonka's character had malice and was some kind of a villain, but the movie did a lot better in my opinion giving him that kind of personality and actually telling something with the story

[@dms79]

Just like the movie _Return to Oz_ was more like the books than the original movie, but people hated it because it was too dark. The _Wizard of Oz_ books are quite dark.

This!!! And the songs, oh my god. People who haven't read the book don't know that Danny actually used the original lyrics from the Oompa Loompa songs for the songs of the movie... the man is a genius!! And using real squirrels??? I mean, come on! Even the sets were magnificent, it feels real. When I read the book after years of having watched the original movie and the 2005 adaptation, I ended up convinced that the 2005 film made far more justice to the book than the 1971 version, and Roald would've actually liked it better. He really disliked Willy Wonka and The Witches.

[@KiaraLily5788]

I'm kinda biased towards this one cause I grew up on it.

[@MijoShrek]

How old are you guys that watched this when you were kids? I'm curious if the bias is dependent on you having experienced the depp version first. I'm a 36 year old millennial. And there's just no topping Gene Wilder. He just is Wonka. And the songs are iconic. The 2005 just did not have the heart of the original and being more loyal to the book and showing the backstory of the characters did not really add depth to the story. But I do not believe everybody has to like everything all the same. I miss the era of movies when they were not all made to be a huge blockbuster.

[@manavestnation]

The depp version was a totally different type of film. It was almost like he set up all the kids for their sins, like the films seven or saw, but with a tasty and sweet non fatal punishment.

[@MattPurvis-gt3ww]

I think there are many reasons for lackluster reboots, sequels, etc....but I rarely hear anyone bringing up the fact that the writers, and directors feel uninspired, bored, and creatively stunted; when they're always forced to adapt someone else's work - and never allowed to create their own. Obviously there are many other reasons for poor storytelling in modern films - corporate meddling, constant woke messaging, deconstruction of characters, and laziness. That being said - CREATIVE people need to CREATE..... and they're not being given the chance.

[@robertcunningham1695]

A lot of it is due to nepotism as well - many of the writers, storyboarders and producers these days are talentless hacks who are just 3rd generation hollywood given a job because of who their uncle or aunt is/was. They've never been a normal person in their life so they think the narratives pushed by media and stories are what people actually think/believe and it becomes a self feeding cycle.

[@MattPurvis-gt3ww]

@bryan81584 - Well, every franchise you mentioned was adapted from someone else's original work. So while the writers might have been given a bit more freedom on some of those projects, they were still boxed in creatively; having to use a pre-existing world, pre-existing characters, etc. I think these writers would probably be much passionate if they were creating something all their own - rather than having to re-tell the stories of others.

I grew up on the Depp one saw it when I was 9, but the Wilder one better, I saw that when I was like 15 I was like wow this so much better. I think it was the practical effects, which I prefer anyways, it was so seemless and Charlie’s grandpa was wildin. So I was more immersed in the world with practical effects it felt real like it could really happen. Also Tim Burton Wonka felt kinda socially awkward and anxious idk while Wilder was a lot more charismatic and captivating, but still had that lil crazy factor like you didn’t know what to expect.

I really enjoyed the new Wonka movie after a year of hating on it. It came at a very cynical part of my life. I watched it with my 3 year old son after a divorce and seeing him enjoy it so much and hearing a song in the film like "For A Moment" with lyrics such as "For a moment, life doesn't seem quite so bad. For a moment, I kinda forgot to be sad" really hit hard and is representative of what it felt like to watch this movie. Because it was so fun, creative, it didn't take itself seriously, it was silly, playful, and sharing it with my son at his first imax experience was special. Sometimes you need silly movies made with heart like this during these times to forget the hard realities of life.

But I think a lot of people would prefer original concepts, new stories, original characters and preferably a strong emotional weight to the story.

It's a fun movie that gives some actual smiles and enjoyment in a very serious, critical and overly analytical and unforgiving time in history. People should go see it and enjoy it for what it is. Some fun that will make you smile and laugh (which is a great thing in the current climate). Not everything needs to be a university project that needs breaking down, tearing apart and over analysing. Half the time the things people and critics think drive these movies / studios and directors into creating these films are just wrong sadly. Most people have very little real contact with the studios/ directors and therefore don't really understand the often pure and nice motives behind creating these films. It might not feel like it but it's ok to just have fun, laugh and forget the serious stuff sometimes ;)

Im afraid I have to disagree on the remake case. Turns out, the tim burtion version was, actually way more faithful to the book. And the og that is so beloved, was actually a butchered version that the book writer hated so badly, that he forbid anyone from making a film using his work ever since. And the only reason tim burton got a shot, was because of how he made the burton's house and the author's wife gave a green light. In some circles, it is considered that Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, is actually a better movie that helps to explore a good bit into Wonka's psyche. Is it the same as gene wilder? No. Absolutely not. But personally, I believe what tim burton went for, is far more whimsical and honest. Think about it.

This is different, but this one stands on its own as a story for a younger, optimistic Wonka. This film is directed by Paul King, who has proven himself with Paddington and Paddington 2 already. If you go in with an open mind, you'll find a genuinely fun and wholesome film. I think it's funny that Moon talks in his video as if he's an authority on the film, marking his opinions as fact.

While I agree in the sense that Hollywood shouldn't use franchises as a crutch, having already watched Wonka, man do I have to disagree. Yes, they borrow the iconography from the Gene Wilder version, but this a movie that's otherwise full of ideas of its own creation. It's charming and full of heart. It shouldn't be seen as a prequel but, as the opening credits state, 'A Paul King confection'. It's got the wonderful spirit of his Paddington movies, and it does carry a heartwarming message. The fact that something belongs in a franchise doesn't make it automatically poor. Pop culture seems perfectly fine by having multiple Bonds, Spider-Men, and Batmen.

[@BranniganCarter]

As good as Joker was, I had the same complaints. I don’t WANT to know why Joker is the way he is. I’d rather speculate. Joker is an exercise in fear of the unknown, and that’s why he was such a terrifying villain

[@McLarenMercedes]

The Joker is pretty much a prime example of "blank page" villain, ideal for *comics* whose readers will swallow anything hook, line and sinker if it "sounds good". Over the history of the character he has had at least a dozen different iterations and even the writers of the comics can't decide what they want him to be so in some back stories they even have the character tell the previous background stories to him. In essence he is whatever the reader of the comics want him to be. Any well-written villain needs to have these three characteristics. 1. A clear motive, preferably an underlying obsession which sets them out from any two-bit thug. 2. Traits which make them somewhat "sympathetic" to the audience or displaying characteristics which reflect some our own worst sides. 3. Consistency, which makes them human at core and is the most important factor. Now the Joker has never had a clear motive and in some iterations just makes up as he goes along. In fact he comes across as an aimless wanderer who can't even make sense of his own actions since he doesn't stick to them. The *only* clear motive he has had is to treat the world like one big joke nobody gets and therefore has the "smilex gas/joker venom" which makes everybody die smiling. Had they stuck with that every single time they'd have a character with a bizarre but clear motive. Make the entire world laugh to death. Well, he's called Joker isn't he? Not Lord Chaos or Captain Evil or Bizarro Man. As for traits. Well, the lastest iterations of the Joker portrays him as an angry teen. Teens don't get the world and can't make sense of it. Since they're driven by feelings and lack both knowledge and experience (with few exceptions) what actually is eerily predictable historical patterns instead becomes "random chaos" to them. Even the most horrible dictator like Hitler has a logical explanation given the realities of history. How many today realize that the very same social darwinism they propagate on the net was one of the core beliefs of the nazis and that this very belief actually largely paved the way for them? To ignorant people Hitler was just some crazy guy who popped up out of the blue and conned his way into power. The Holocaust becomes a wholly bizarre event too when it should be seen as the logical final goal of rabid nationalism mated with social darwinism. The Joker makes sense to these teens (and those who never developed beyond this level) because to them everything in the world is some sort of unpredictable chaos. They lack scope and can't perceive of anything else but their immediate present. They define their myopic reality from their own needs not those of those in power. All great villains are *Machiavellian* . That is why others follow them and what makes them dangerous. The Joker however is a bizarre amalgam of characteristics nobody would follow or look up to. A real-life Joker wouldn't last a day in the real criminal underworld. As for consistency. The Joker has none. He's a blank slate of random madness. Fact is that the only thing that is missing from him being a rambling madman is hallucinations. Everything else is just a chaotic mess. You see that in mentally ill people suffering from psychosis. The emperor has no clothes because the emperor is *naked* . There is nothing to explain because there is nothing to get. "I’d rather speculate." Thanks for being honest and upfront about that. Speculation is the hallmark of ignorant people who follow no paradigm and like to fit anything into their own highly subjective narrative, i.e. the same kind of people who are ignorant about oceanography and marine biology and who like to imagine that "we" (who are "we" again??) know less about the depth of the seas than we know about interstellar space (which is utter nonsense) and therefore speculate wildly about what kind of "amazing monsters" lurk there. Their *imagination* is the driving force behind this speculation, certainly not reason, observerable facts and reasonable deduction. Again since they know absolutely nothing about this matter (which is called *ignorance* ) they imagine pretty much anything. And they repeatedly are masters of a fallacy called "Argument from Ignorance" and shifting the burden of proof. Speculation holds *negative* connotations when it comes to the ignorant. "and that’s why he was such a terrifying villain" To ignorant people definitely. The fear of the unknown is largely based on *ignorance* which is why people in the past didn't dare sailing out too far because they feared they would come "to the end of the world" and just sail "over the edge". No, the sad part of the story is that the Joker is a perfect reflection of the aimless and ignorant youth of today. Educated, open-minded and knowledgeable people see the structures. The ignorant can only see the surface so the very notion that the world is random place of arbitrary events they themselves can't make sense of is why the Joker is popular with them. They don't understand the world and therefore fear it. They're as lost as the Joker. And ignorance is the real horror of our world. For it's how people are exploited. Over and out.

I like Japanese anime--as do millions of other people outside of Japan. But they don't dumb it down for non-Japanese audiences. The characters are doing Japanese shit and you just have to figure out the cultural significance from the context. I've started watching some Chinese anime on Netflix as well and I enjoy it, even though there are historical and cultural references I don't get. (Korean dramas are also really growing in popularity outside of Korea as well.) Hollywood doesn't have to dumb down movies to translate to other languages and cultures better; they are just making dumb movies because they're idiots who don't know how stories work. They start with a message or objective, then try to build a plot around it, instead of starting with the storytelling formula and a classic trope and trying to do something new with it (including, maybe, put a message in it). The moral of the story comes at the end; it doesn't beat you over the head every 10 minutes for the next 2 hours. Lecturing is not part of the storytelling formula.

@@kimi9572 just saw wonka, and i disagree about everything except the soundtrack and CGI giraffe. also, how are the themes unclear?? they practically spell it out for you at the end lol

@@kimi9572 Story's bad (I guess because you say so...) Themes are unclear (Following your dreams and taking risks in unclear to you?) Villains are not intimidating at all (They're a fucking chocolate mafia... With a chocolate vault under a church... in a Ronald Dhal based story. What Wattpad writing guide told you Villains NEED to be intimidating? That's clearly not what they're going for, You're complaining that God of War isn't a good platformer...) Soundtrack's mediocre (I liked it so... I guess the problem is with your taste? It's nothing big but I liked a few songs and they get the story across) Directing is inefficient (Were you at the shooting? Did you see the director in person? No? I thought so.) The only consolation is that it's entertaining from start to finish. (You sir, embody everything I hate about movie critics. Being entertaining and having fun to watch is not enough for you? Then what do you EXPECT from a movie) Also you complain about the directing, and as an example you bring out the poster.... My brother in Christ, the poster is from the marketing departament, the director has nothing to do with it XD

@@d4n737 That person was clearly a troll, but did the right thing in deleting that post now. I agree with everything you said and especially the last part: the marketing department really let this film down. The poster and trailer were so bad. The film deserved much better. I've seen it now, and it could be a future classic.

@@AbcDef-ww2gy Thanks... It's uhh... Kinda personal, but a close family member died just before the movie came out. I cannot grieve like other people do. Often times, I just don't know what to do with myself... So I went to the cinema, just to do SOMETHING. It helped. I felt better I will defend this movie with my fucking life.

[@AbcDef-ww2gy]

@@d4n737 Wow. That's an incredible story, and I understand your passion in dealing with the troll now. Yes, the best way to deal with a sudden bereavement is to throw yourself into something that will occupy your mind (until a time when your mind is calmer). Usually, people throw themselves aggressively into some form of work. Going to the cinema was your alternative, but unfortunately a movie only lasts two hours, and then you're back in the same situation. I suppose talking about the movie and defending it from trolls is also a form of work, especially now when it has just opened, so keep going and good luck with that! I hope you'll find peace eventually, with the passage of time.

I went to see it with no expectations but I actually love it, I did not like the originals very much and I cried at the end and I don’t usually do that for the many movies I watched. For me it’s a 9/10 call me crazy but the story just worked for me and the visuals and music was great!

[@Braneloc]

Read the book as a kid at school, hated the horrible Gene Wilder abomination. The Johnny Depp version was better in every single way, despite the Americanisms. I currently feel no significant urge to watch the new one. Maybe later.

Heard about this remake, Hollywood needs a reset

It's a prequel not a remake!!!

[@dislikebutton2462]

some may say they need a great reset and then build back better.

​@user-vi9zm5ss4f I saw the movie, and it was definitely not a remake. Yeah there was some homages to the original but it's barely a remake 🤷

[@aravindvinayakan]

Gene Wilder's Wonka is a psychopath and Johnny Depp's is an alien trying his best to pretend to be human, meanwhile Tim is just a little guy making little chocolates. Not every protagonist needs to be dark and or complicated, it was refreshing seeing an earnest and kind protagonist. No ulterior motives, no potential man-slaughter, just a little guy making little chocolates.

[@ARZiehm]

Agreed. This video is a poor take; it's all comparison to the other movies, when really, if you take it as it is, it's way better than it has any right to be. The director having Paddington under his belt explains why it feels so wholesome, but honestly, I liked that it didn't try to be like the old ones and brought a different flavor (pun intended.) The ending was a tearjerker, and I never felt that way about the other movies. I think the nostalgia/reboot trend is bad, but this movie justifies its own existence and is not the least bit referential or derivative.

[@MelancholyJoker19]

@@ARZiehm I think what makes this movie have possible unintentional darker tone, is knowing how his whimsical optimism will be destroyed by his overtrusting in the kindness of strangers

[@rjbalbuena7789]

Gene carried the movie. He understood that an enigma like Wonka never needed a backstory and that everything about him is better left in ambiguity, something the Depp version forgot despite that having a more accurate depiction of how the factory was described in the book. The whole dentist arc was so unnecessary. Gene's Wonka was even a little demented and I loved that dash of crazy in him. I don't remember that being in the book but if that was something he did to add to the mystery of the character, then it was a smart move. That's what made his Wonka superior. Don't trust the magic man, and especially don't trust the psychotic machiavelian supergenius magic man. And here we have another remake doubling down on backstory shenanigans like it makes sense. But as Charlie said in the Depp Version, 'Candy doesn't have to make sense.' Hard miss, this one. They didn't just disrespect the source material, they spit on it. In short, just go see the Gene movie for Wonka, and go see the Depp version for the more accurate factory and world visuals.

[@Mereologist]

Dahl complained that Gene was 'too respectable' and not sketchy enough. I'm sure he would have hated Depp's version ten times as much.

Issue was that the Depp version of the movie is more in line with the book, the original wonka movie in 1971 was a corporate cash grab. Charlie and the chocolate Factory (2005) is leauges better than Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971).
