Is this a great/classic film?
>>216929602yes but the singing is kinda weird when it comes up
>>216929905The music itself or the pacing of it in the movie?
>>216929997little bit of both, movies like grease and willy wonka where they randomly break out in song always kinda geed me out. but the pacing did kinda go long in some of them
>>216929602It's strange to think about how Willy Wonka doesn't show up until like halfway through the movie.
Still waiting for the sequel
>>216930197This was an atrociously awful book, my guess is Dahl didn't want to write a sequel but the publisher made him. Charlie meets aliens
Would you like to have some Swedish chocolate balls?
>>216930015It’s a slow build
>>216930223Yea that book sucked, I remember it was always out at the library, when it finally came in I was ecstatic, halfway through I wanted to die. Horrid book.
>>216929602It's my favorite film
>>216929602I don't know about greatest but it's defiantly better than the trash remakes.
>>216930508The Depp one was disappointing, the newest one was an abominatio
It's good.
>>216929602i have always wanted to match this mans energy
>>216930015yeah people remember it like a foundational fairytale but the first half of the movie is a pretty modern seeming media satire.
>>216929602werthers original tier uncslop
I enjoyed it much more as an adult
>>216930009I love this movie, but I do not understand why boomers loved singing or musicals. The new remake or reboot was so fucking awful. I did not make it past the opening song. This version however makes it work.
>>216929602You could see Wilder's soul in this film.
>>216930329>HorridHow is "horrid", explain please. > 1 Causing horror; dreadful.> 2 Extremely disagreeable; offensive.> 3 Bristling; roughWhat made it so "horrid"?
>>216931610I think musicals had their place during the golden age of cinema. Then again if you'd gone to see this at its opening night back then, when cinemas were still very much in that art deco/gilded before they'd moved to multiscreen venues, it wouldn't have looked or felt out of place.
Apparently it was regarded as mediocre slop at the time of release and only became a classic because of it playing constantly on public TV.The Wizard of Oz was the same. I think the lack of public TV is what stops certain random mid movies becoming classics.
How did a single factory ship wonka bars (which we never see getting made btw) all over the world?
