In truth, in the original novel, the oompa loompa were a race of pygmies. When the production of the film was announced, the N.A.A.C.P. did not like the stereotype. Dahl understood, so he changed the pygmies to an orange race. That is the ONLY change I can understand.

[@PriceofReason]

I can understand that change too and honestly, I really like what they did with the Oompa Loompas in the 1971 movie.

[@VexElectronica]

I agree with your statement that this will leave no big impact or influence. Thankfully, this won't sully the character in the long run but I'd like to see Hollywood adapt more of Dahl's other works. Cheers POR!

[@PriceofReason]

Thanks Vex! Yes it was a very forgettable movie with too many songs and too little story. I would be happy to see Dahl adaptations but hopefully made by more competent people.

[@prettyoriginalnameprettyor7506]

Wonka was awesome

[@mrssassysasquatch]

Great review buddy!!! It was nice to see that you saw what I saw in this movie! It really could have been a great concept had the right people been in charge.

[@PriceofReason]

It felt too corporate and completely lacked the charm of the 1971 classic

[@dan_11]

no, wonka is epic; I LOVE CHOCOLATE

[@52moviesayear]

I didn’t know Chalemet is dating a kardashian, he is going be effed up beyond all recognition in a few years. This will unfortunately be the highlight of his poor young life.

[@PriceofReason]

Somebody told me they have broken up. I hope so for him.

[@52moviesayear]

@@PriceofReason hopefully for his sake that is true.

[@gregmize01]

Love your channel. I loved the movie❤ Thanks Price!

[@PriceofReason]

That's cool and thanks! Happy you enjoyed it. I wanted to like it but it didn't work for me.

[@opinian1068]

I keep forgetting how many prominent black chocolatiers there were in Europe in what seems to be the early 1900's 🤣 I also love how many people like to peg the eurocentric model as problematic. Yet....here we are in the casting.

[@PriceofReason]

They dominated the industry lol

[@janette2422]

So, personally, I don't mind remakes if the 'message' isn't too pushed or it actually makes sense. An example would be: like Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland! With the first movie of her not wanting to marry that awful man, it made sense; or grandly disliking corsets since in her personal opinion they were uncomfortable. But with #2 while I still loved it, the whole 'Alice is a captain' was such a stretch it ruined the beginning of the movie for me. Yes the messaging was a bit heavy handed in Alice but-unlike Wonka, like you pointed out- it wasn't a sledgehammer to me. And I actually think Timothy Chalamet isn't a bad actor but I despised him in the new Dune (please don't shoot me...I'm a fan of the uncut OG scy-fi channel version which I have on dvd and recorded haha). This movie, however, really highlights that Chalamet can indeed act and he's good at this kind of role. I just didn't care for anything else. It was....not a good musical in my opinion and I LOVE musicals. I also absolutely agree. Chalamet is NO Gene Wilder..There shall never be another Gene. RIP

[@PriceofReason]

Chalamet is ok for very specific roles but I didn't think he did anything special here, or in Dune for that matter.

[@sevda3337]

I respect your opinion but can't agree with it. I went to the cinema not expecting anything, actually even less than that, but it was honestly such an enjoyable movie. Me and my friend loved it, it brought the right amount of nostalgia and I really enjoyed the hidden references to the older movie. It also gave a sense of forshadowing for the actions of the older Wonka in the original movie, which was sweet. People don't go to the cinema for any movie in my country but for this movie, the theater is still full two weeks later, which never happens. If anyone is interested in watching this I recommend giving it a shot. Many people and critics found it a good watch which is a rarity nowadays.

[@PriceofReason]

I respect that we have different opinions and happy for you that you found a movie that you enjoyed. In any case, thanks for watching my video.

[@lizfuller400]

Firstly I might agree with you, BUT the characters were so marvellous, mostly British but Timothee was so lovely in his role. .True magic

[@PriceofReason]

It's perfectly fine if you enjoyed it Liz. Happy you had a good experience. Thanks for watching my review.

[@cesruhf2605]

One of the best movies of 2023!

[@cesruhf2605]

@@thisismyname3928 I changed my mind after finishing dune

[@joshuacalkins]

It’s important to me that the lead actor here remain at least a passable, if not-yet-excellent Paul Atriedes in Dune. Hence I avoid all other material he’s in, including interviews, and even this video. (I’m listening, but not watching). I don’t want to be thinking about his (undoubtedly stupid) politics when I’m experiencing what’s probably the greatest sci fi story of all time. You just HAD to mention he dates a celebutard…. My fault for clicking on his face. Thanks for the video!

[@PriceofReason]

Somebody told me that they may have broken up so perhaps there's a silver lining.

[@ghfdt368]

Sad thing is in another universe Charlamet would have made for a pretty good flash/Barry Allen over Ezra Miller. I agree Price he isn't a bad actor and I think he has talent and he's likable on-screen but this role just wasn't right for him, he's a little too understated or soft spoken without that rascal like edge to him. Great review as always.

[@PriceofReason]

Thanks! Appreciate you watching!

[@adampatino5372]

The part where u pick on Timmy for being skinny and dating a Kardashian. That was positively hilarious and I did not expect that from you, but I did love to see you bare your teeth there

[@PriceofReason]

Thanks! I was just stating some facts lol

[@seanledden4397]

Haven't seen the movie, but once you said it features lots of new original music a wave of dread swept over me. I can just hear the new songs - a collection of bouncy, quirky, melody-free contraptions engineered to evoke Elfman and Sondheim. Oh joy.

[@PriceofReason]

Pretty much. Yeah.

[@ninthhelltv987]

I just wish that this sort of project didn't get past the green light stage if there's clearly nothing to be added to the original, it's a clear tedious cash grab. Even Depp couldn't pull this off, what were they thinking?

[@PriceofReason]

They were hoping some young ladies would enjoy seeing Chalamet and sadly, the more poor may have even worked

[@bingethink3491]

I rather liked it. Yeah, it's not going to go down as a movie of 'significance' but after the disappointment of Napoleon and gothic 'Talented Mr Ripley' impersonator that was Saltburn it was a breath of fresh air.

[@frankowalker4662]

You gave it a higher score than I thought you would. LOL. Happy New Year.

[@PriceofReason]

Ha! Happy New Year!

[@CannoliSasquatch]

Great review buddy. This movie seemed liked a waste to make. No one will remember it was even made lol

[@PriceofReason]

Agree. It will mainly be a footnote in the Wikipedia page entry for the classic 1971 film.

[@laurenmasters]

Happy new year, be well 🤞❤️🙏

Happy New Year Lauren!

[@cybersonic8472]

Dispite this review I'm really looking forward to it. I don't expect perfection but my wife is very excited as she loves the original and has been begging me to take her to this. We are hoping for something as good as Mary Poppins Returns although due to your review I think it will fall short of that

I loved the movie, and so did my 3 girls. Don't agree sorry. Just my opinion.

It doesn't bother me if somebody likes something that I don't. Happy you and your family had a good time at the movie. Thanks for watching my review and have a happy new year.

[@Ace_of_Horns]

I'm personally a fan of musicals, so i would have given this a chance if you didn't go into detail about the story. The white man stealing from natives along with race swapped slugworth reeks of woke nonsense. Also them replacing a potential little person actor with a cgi dwarf, was idiotic. I honestly should've expected it. I wont be seeing this film.

[@PriceofReason]

I suppose it could have been worse but I didn't enjoy it. Thanks for watching my review.
