Willy Wonka Tell Me Again Meme You Went to School

Every bit someone who has been lying most existence related to Roald Dahl on my résumé, I have been forced to familiarize myself with many of his classic works. One of his virtually dearest books is Charlie & The Chocolate Factory. And since almost people recall books are haunted by ghosts of nerds, it was later adapted into a dear motion picture and sarcastic meme factory starring Gene Wilder and Directed by Mel Stuart. Sure, it also turned out a subpar Tim Burton visual battery starring Johnny Depp, just the globe promised itself to forget well-nigh it lest we all start going at each other like those monkeys in 2001: A Space Odyssey. On a more than positive note, it likewise inspired a horror/one-act themed accommodation starring Christopher Lloyd as Willy Wonka. In example you were wondering if an Oompa Loompa will consume a human existence, the answer is right here in this video.

What we are going to concentrate on is that start pic, since information technology is arguably the best and shaped the mind and hearts of everyone who saw it (except my dad, who oddly says he hates the movie, which totally makes me question my parentage.) And much like when you discover out that most food coloring is made of rough oil, this delicious picture show is full of highly questionable material. Some of it y'all may have noticed earlier, since you are such a handsome and intelligence audience (please similar and subscribe) but I'm next to certain I've managed to scrounge up some weird secrets even you all didn't know.

27 Very Convenient

So subsequently Agustus Gloop gets sucked upwards the Gloop Tube™ the tour manages to proceed, instead of everyone freaking out and calling the cops. The next stage of the tour involves them jumping into a boat to sheet down the chocolate river (as one is want to exercise). The children's and their irresponsible developed chauffeurs all take their seats and the adventure continues into childlike wonder and child disappearance. And the boat ride is fairly pleasant right before the nightmare tunnel, I mean the seats look comfortable enough and –look, those seats…

There's exactly the correct number of seats.

In a perfect world where hefty German children don't get suctioned into a dark room through a tube, the Gloop family would still be on the tour with everyone else. And then the boat Wonka had ready would accept some empty seats... uh oh.

26 Things Get More Suspicious

Sometime later in the excitement, the children must get on yet another whimsical vehicle to get from ane stupid point to another, the kids and their chaperones must board some fizzy device. The whole matter is a contrived mode to wash everyone, which makes me think that Wonka might be a germaphobe with a very low opinion of people outside his factory. But wait, as everyone gets into their seats, nosotros discover that the vehicle the exact right number of seats all once more!

At this point, the disappearance count is actually college, and so in that location should be a plethora of empty seats if Willy was planning on using that automobile the whole time. So that ways that he knew people would exist dropping like chocolate flies forth the bout, which means these are less accidents and more a candy themed version of Saw with a few cute songs.

25 Ouch

The Chocolate Room was a fairly interactive place for the actors, with many things being made of actual candy, or at least being brittle in a fun way. The Director wanted the joy and excitement the kids were displaying to be as close to genuine as possible, then if the kids had to interact with it, it was a fun prop. Well, for the most part. There aren't a lot of ways to make a rock fun, and then they just threw some dirty old rock on the set for Veruca to back a candy against.

Unfortunately, nobody told Julie Dawn Cole, and she idea it was a soft prop. She skinned her knee joint pretty hard during 1 of the scenes, and you can actually see her soaked sock used in some of the scenes. A skinned knee seems similar a far better fate than what would subsequently happen to a majority of the characters.

24 That Stings

The mutual knowledge is that everything in Hollywood is fake. The fight scenes, the explosions, the beautiful people. This extends to "kids movies (I put this in quotes because this motion picture is like a neon Dante'south Inferno) which seems obvious, especially in highly special furnishings heavy movie like Willy Wonka. For example, people assume that the foam coming out of the foam wash machine matter is but foam and not an actual soap.

It definitely wasn't soap.

In fact, it was the foam that comes out of fire extinguishers, which seems like the kind of prop that would exist super handy to accept on mitt. Until you remember that it is a terrible irritant to human peel. Yes, the bizarre auto wash scene concluded up giving the bandage members a gross rash and it delayed filming for a few weeks. Now you take the image of Gene Wilder covered in blisters stuck in your caput.

23 Whoever Heard Of Such A Affair?

The flavored wallpaper intended for nursery rooms is an incredible invention. Everyone seems to bask the flavor they get saddled with, although I call back that's because nobody landed on Snozzberries. Yeah, Willy Wonka states that the Snozzberries taste like Snozzberries, earlier being rebuked by one of the children. This prompts him to catch her face and quote Ode by Arthur O'Shaughnessy for reasons that are only clear to a purple maniac.

What the heck are Snozzberries?

For the well-nigh part, it's a gibberish give-and-take invented by Roald Dahl. Just most people assume he created the word for Charlie & The Charlie Factory when actually he had a individual meaning to it all along. In his 1979 piece of work My Uncle Oswald a graphic symbol states that if they grab onto a human being's snozzberry, and gives it a twist, they can go them under control. Doesn't leave much room to the imagination as to what appendage does that.

22 A 18-carat Reaction

The outset reveal of the Chocolate Room is notwithstanding a cinematic marvel. It is an enormous set filled with authentic prop pieces that notwithstanding concord up scrutiny fifty-fifty by today's standards. I'm somewhat jaded past today's special effects, and I can notwithstanding say I'm impressed, and so I can't imagine what the minds of people from 1971 were thinking. On peak of that, the acting from every single player is impeccable; with everyone reacting as if this was the beginning time they had seen such a wonderful room.

I guess with a sentence similar that previous i, you can probably guess that it was a genuine reaction from the actors. They had never seen the room earlier at the Director's behest. He wanted the actors to look exactly as the audience would, with incredulity that anyone would exist able to create something and so vibrant and extensive. Information technology's a pretty brilliant determination.

21 Genuine Fear

Obviously, that bizzarro tunnel scene is going to come up upward, considering information technology is a moment of sheer terror in an otherwise lighthearted movie about children beingness mangled beyond recognition. Willy Wonka just takes these kids on a gunkhole ride through a hellish landscape where people have bugs on their confront and lights requite anyone looking at them seizures. The kids and adults akin realize they have made a grave fault in coming hither, something they should have realized when a homo idea it would be a funny prank to fake his own wellness conditions.

That's actual terror on their faces.

Information technology should come as no surprise at this betoken that the actors were not warned ahead of fourth dimension what was going to happen in the tunnel. Many of the kids believed that Gene Wilder had genuinely lost his listen, which is actually kind of his gimmick, he does it all the time.

xx Y'all Get Nothing!

Right near the stop of the movie, Charlie is looking to claim his g prize, which I recollect he deserves for staying quiet about Wonka'southward House of Horrors. At this brilliant moment, Willy freaks out and just unloads on Charlie, chewing him out for stealing Fizzy Lifting Beverage. I get that information technology was a morality thing and he wanted to see who actually deserved the factory, simply y'all can see bodily heartbreak in Charlie'south face.

Can yous guess why?

There was a running theme of non telling the actors what nightmare was coming upwardly for them, so of form, the player who played Charlie was never warned that he was most to be yelled at. This really upset Cistron Wilder, since he had become friends with the child over the course of filming, and badly wanted to tell him that he wasn't genuinely mad at the boy. The managing director foreclose it.

19 Never To Exist Seen Again

Peter Ostrum, who played Charlie Bucket in the film, did a pretty convincing job of a luckless kid suddenly falling head over heels into a world of please and child endangerment. Many people around Hollywood thought he would be the adjacent big star, hoping to see more of the male child who inherited a factory. He was charming and beautiful and seemed to have something of a range. Then why haven't we all seen more of him since then?

That was his only moving-picture show.

Unsurprisingly, not existence told that you lot are near to be scared witless multiple times during a flick shoot doesn't leave a skillful impression of what acting is all about. Peter decided that acting just but isn't for him, and walked abroad from information technology all. Judging by what you hear from countless other child stars, that may have been the smartest move of his entire career. Oh well.

xviii The Superhero Treatment

In the original film, Charlie lives with his bedridden Grandparents and his mom and…that's it. For some reason, his male parent is no longer with us. This isn't even a role of the source material, Charlie totally lives with his dad likewise, who works in a toothpaste mill. Which ways, sadly, that somehow Tim Burton was slightly more accurate, at least in this one regard. And his depiction of the squirrel room vs. the depiction of a golden goose room. The book but had squirrels. But I digress.

What is the point of making Charlie without a father? Was it likewise much for delicate 1970s minds to depict a down and out family without also having them be missing a begetter effigy? Or did they think this created a more than tragic figure, as if living in a leaking house with a destitute family wasn't downtrodden plenty? Or maybe they were just large fans of comic book heroes (who are all orphaned.)

17 That Seemed Apposite

Musicals have always had a weird vibe, where people merely outburst into songs almost gross stuff like rent or feelings. They take a solid xx minutes to dance effectually and shout exposition right into the photographic camera, and this is all supposed to be off the gage, through the magic of passion. I can suspend my disbelief that it might happen in these universes, sure, but in Willy Wonka some of the songs seem to be less nigh what the person is thinking or feeling, and more than of like a apposite scolding.

I'm of course talking virtually the songs that the Oompa Loompas break into whenever a child falls victim to poetic justice. They seem to have intimate and personal knowledge of the verbal workings of each child'southward life, and these are less musings and more a rehearsed telling of why it is ok to take joy in seeing a child see a grisly demise.

16 Lookout Your Caput

There's a shoehorned scene where a candy shop possessor breaks out into a vocal about processed. This vocal was a massive success for years to come up, and we owe it all to this bit character. He prances most his shop, doing his duties whole singing virtually he is pretty much the greatest dude on the planet, and everyone should love him. He seems to exist an ally of the children interested in their happiness, but what if he wasn't?

What if he was just a jerk?

You come across, if you go back and picket the scene (here's a link) you'll notice that when he steps out from behind the counter, he whacks a little girl in the face with information technology. And he doesn't even falter in his vocal. So what if he is just interested in that sweet money (pun intended) and non in children at all? Which seems like foreshadowing…

15 Gross

The start room those grubby children are introduced to is that wonderful chocolate river, where they promptly act out their inner Godzilla fantasies and begin eating everything in sight. Eggs, flowers, trees, rocks, and other stuff you don't normally consume outside of episodes of My Strange Addiction. Kids hunch over the river and begin just lapping up a tonne of the stuff, dipping their sweaty trivial mini sausages right into Wonka's key ingredient.

How is that not a health code violation?

It'south 1971, a time that was notoriously lax on health standards, but come on. There has to be some standards about not letting children, which are simply slimy tiny monsters that become chicken pox, touching everything in sight. And information technology isn't just this room, these kids stomp around everywhere, including the invention room. It'southward gross, and I remember the simply reason Wonka closed his doors for and so long was to keep out health inspectors.

14 Making The Cut

Continuity is a hard matter to maintain in a motion-picture show, peculiarly when it comes to children. Kids get through massive growth spurts and voice changes while filming (if yous listen, you can hear Charlie'due south vocalisation alter octaves throughout the film) then it is of import to get your film in the tin as fast as possible. Other times, in that location are things you can't avoid changing while filming from start to finish and those differences sometimes stop upwardly in the finished production.

Veruca's hair changes lengths throughout the film.

Manifestly, Julie Dawn Cole'south pilus was quite prone to ending in split ends, then the producers kept thinking that they needed to exist burned off. Yes, burned. I don't accept the specifics of whether the burns were accidental or on purpose, but I do know that a child's pilus was burned repeatedly, resulting in a kid getting progressively shorter hair during a film shoot.

thirteen Don't Put That In Your Oral fissure

Oh that wacky Willy Wonka, he just pulls out a teacup while anybody is having such a merry old fourth dimension (for now…) and merely when yous think we are seeing the normal side of Willy, nosotros see that he bites into the loving cup! Hilarious! Absurd! My heartstrings! Yes, when he said everything in the room was edible, he meant it. He fifty-fifty looks delighted to be sampling his own products for a change!

Except, that'due south all acting on Gene Wilder's part. Certain, in that location were a lot of edible props in a lot of scenes, and the kids got to happily sample them, but that cup definitely wasn't one of them. It was clearly made of wax, and Wilder had to chew it upward like it was delicious candy all the same. Between takes, he had to spit out a wad of terribly flavored wax. And I'yard not just supposing information technology tasted bad, when asked about it years later, Wilder confirmed that it was awful.

12 Clear Tampering

After Violet begins chewing the fateful mucilage, she starts to turn purple before ballooning up. When her father becomes alarmed at what is happening (I don't recall they had EpiPens in 1971) he goes over to bank check on her. At this betoken, she has get and then large that her belt violently snaps off, showing that she isn't done transitioning into a giant blueberry. It'southward a cool effect for its' time, just since they hadn't even so invented CGI they needed a few hands-on assist to pull off the scene.

You tin can clearly see her father adjust the belt.

Don't just take my give-and-take for information technology, accept a await for yourself at this prune. The role player who plays her father doesn't fifty-fifty try all that hard to hide the fact that he'due south tinkering with something back there. His eyes and hands are clearly fiddling about with a machinery, and a moment subsequently, the belt bursting moment dazzles usa all.

11 10 Singing Out Of Tune

The Oompa Loompas breaking into songs about why it's fine and dandy to throw children into an incinerator is pretty much my favorite part of this fever dream. That being said, fifty-fifty when I was a child, I noticed something was off near some of the singing. Or more than accurately, the Oompa Loompas who seemed to be singing only weren't. While researching this article, I finally institute the answer why!

They don't know the words.

Oh, the answer was that simple. They hired actors from all over the world to make full the part of the atomic Oompa Loompas, so many of them didn't know how to speak English. So the managing director merely told them to rima oris along, to mime equally if they were singing, and to mimic the motions of the actors around them. Information technology worked in a way, since the lip-synching isn't then totally off as to be distracting.

nine Icky And Accurate

One of the nigh impressive special effects in the whole film has to be that first room that blows anybody's minds. The centerpiece of the whole room is the chocolate river, which genuinely looks pretty tasty. I'll admit that well-nigh prop food has always looked suspiciously inedible to me, so I was surprised by the legitimate chocolate milk quality of the river. How does one get something that has to exist unsafe for human consumption end upwards looking so dang delicious?

It's partially made of actual cocoa.

In fact, it was then much like nutrient, it did what that weird, black Tupperware at the dorsum of your fridge does and began to spoil. Towards the end of the film shoot, the river began to get rancid, filling the room with a rancid smell. Workers began to avoid the room, only entering when filming had finished and they had decided to tear the whole prepare down.

8 Ane Size Fits Kid

Then that nincompoop Austus Gloop (oh beloved lord, have a started to rhyme?) got sucked up a chocolate tube to be taken to the fudge room, I retrieve? And afterward Veruca Salt gets labeled a bad egg and falls downwards a chute. All that seems fine since Wonka is kind of loose when it comes to prophylactic features. He would continue to pattern the Samsung Galaxy Note vii. What becomes suspicious is the chute and tube design.

Why are they exactly children sized?

Sure, Augustus gets stuck for just a 2d, but there's no need for a chocolate tube to be that wide at all. This becomes even more credible when Veruca falls downwardly a chute, which is less of a garbage disposal and more of a trap door. There'due south no need to a small-scale opening that sorts eggs to be large enough to fit both Veruca, and then her father.
