Thread: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (ORIGINAL FILM APPRECIATION/DISCUSSION)

Why do you hate Charlie?

I can't stand the 'remake,' if you can even call it that.

Yeah, I didn't like the remake at all.

I lovek the opening with all the chocolate, omg, that is just incredible! And yes, seeing the inside of the chocolate factory for the first time, it's so magical!

hi....thought i'd drop by the thread and post something meaningful about the original film......

i'm reading a book right now called "kiss me like a stranger - my search for love and art" by gene wilder (the original willy wonka)....in the book he mentions making 'willy wonka & the chocolate factory'.......this is one of the things that he says about that film.....





interesting..huh?

Oh, so that's when you'll get it?

I read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when I was a kid, it was good, but this is one, I love the movie better, I think.

I love this movie, but I hate Charlie. :lmao:

The "remake" wasn't very good.

There's just something so genius about the whole film.

I've never read the books. I think some of you have mentioned that you have read them. Are they worth checking out or will my perception of the movie be changed? I'm just curious.

Love for the old school! I really didn't like this new movie. I've even read the book and I love the book and even though this was closer with the story to the book it changed some crucials things...LIKE EVERYTHING WILLY WONKA IS. He isn't some whiny mean man who doesn't like children and needs therapy! That wasn't even the ending in the book. BLAH. I much prefer the first one because at least it got the atmosphere right.

"WRONG, sir - WRONG!"

So.freakin'.powerful.and.scary. *shivers* That really is a great scene, Silver Dawn.

And of course it's followed by my all time favorite line, "So shines a great deed in a weary world." :love:
