Children's entertainment used to strive to be somewhat timeless. Then the 90s happened at like pic related everything suddenly strove to be "hip" and current and now has ended up aging worse.
This, making some sort of pop culture reference might seem cool in the moment to whoever the fuck but it honestly makes watching it down the line way shittier
I still remember when they revealed the entirely edible candy room with the chocolate river. My child mind was blown when I saw it for the first time. Everything looked delicious even if it was all fake. The new one was good and more book-friendly but the old just has that fucking zing. Gene Wilder's Wonka was better than twink Johnny Depp's Wonka too. He felt like a real screwball but with that hidden genius of an inventor. Like hes off his rocker but still above you.
>oompa loompa songs that talk about a particular moral lesson >the sets >the German town >Charlie Bucket going on an adventure away from his dreary home life to a almost magical factory ran by a reclusive chocolatemaker
The original screams timeless, meanwhile the remake just screams 2000s spin on the original film.
>you can chew gum, but not, like, a lot
What a weird fucking parable in the middle of pretty normal shit like being a retarded glutton, being a vile spoiled bitch, being a violent couch potato know-it-all. Violet didn't even stick the gum to tables or anything.
It's like if a kid got decapitated by a giant lollipop for repeatedly making that stupid clicking noise with his tongue.
>Violet didn't even stick the gum to tables or anything.
She does in the book.
I think Violet's lesson was less about chewing gum and more about being well mannered. The blueberry transformation was a bit overkill, but Dahl's writing is weird like that.
Mike TV is the best kid, because he welcomes his "consequence" with open arms, unlike homosexual Grandpa Joe who broke the rules then whinged about "muh unfairness".
Because you were abused as a child and likely saw this movie sometime before the traumatic event you're repressing took place
Oof, fair possibility.
I think it’s the funny songs and bright colors though, personally.
>Augustus is one month of peewee football away from being perfectly healthy
>Holy shit this is the fattest kid that could ever exist and must be drowned in a pressurized pipe
It was a different time
There wasn't a single black person in this movie
good music and sets
Because they insult a kid for being fat.
the whole movie has an otherworldly feel that you can't place it's location and date
>film in germany

I could not possibly imagine sitting down and watching this
Filtered
Because of the pure imagination obviously.

>GOOD DAY SIR!

yup got it

Because Gene Wilder just winged it and mogged the fuck out of the book.

Also, I hated the oompa loompa songs from the remake. Rock music rendition of a oompa loompa song? I hated it.

American movie featuring American actors, set in an ambiguously European setting. Gives it an otherworldly kind of feel.
