  • The best case people have been able to make about why Wonka is a good film is because it's "better than other stuff that has come out this year." That's a pretty low bar. Do you think Wonka stacks up to the original Gene Wilder film in any way? Let us know in the comments below!

    The charm of the original movie was having a colourful and fantastical factory in the middle of a real, humdrum, somewhat depressing and grey world. When everything is 'wacky', nothing is. Big misstep.

    What modern films prove is that the notoriously tough to get into industry doesn't require compentence when it comes to filmmaking anymore. Anyone can do it now. And that's dangerous. Because most do it poorly. Most don't have anything truly profound to say or aren't allowed to bring a unique voice to their work. Film is dead. We're rating corpses now.

    not just activists for Misandrist racists

No, it was whole, complete, story. It was great. Leave it ALONE. They tried to do this same garbage with The Wizard of Oz, too, and it doesn't work.... Okay, Return to Oz was kinda cool, but... No!

    For the record, your pan of ''Wonka'' means next to nothing. It scored an A- at CinemaScore, and has a 91% Audience score at Rotten Tomatoes. It just topped $100 million during its second week in the U.S., and grossed $270 million worldwide. ... And before anyone gets too nostalgic for the 1971 movie, Roald Dahl, the author himself, hated that film, didn't think Gene Wilder was right for the role, and found the music ''saccharine and sappy.''

    • @hardcutreviews
      @hardcutreviews  9 месяцев назад +10

      Yeah, it definitely confirms how low people’s standards are for what makes great films these days. $270 million is barely above the films break even number of $250, so, weird flex, but glad to see people like you and your wife’s boyfriend had a great time gushing over Chalamet.

      You’re right, it’s not 100% faithful to the book. It’s superior to the book. Charlie has no test that he has to pass to prove to Wonka that he’s worthy. The film tightened the story and made it better. No film is 100% the book but the 71 film elevated beyond the book in a great way. This prequel was trash.

    To be fair to Tim Burton, his version was MUCH closer to the book, and the family of the original author greatly preferred Tim Burton's version to Gene Wilder's version. Apparently, they felt that the Gene Wilder version was an insult to the original author. That said, the book is seriously freaky. I hated it as a kid. 😅

    • @hardcutreviews
      @hardcutreviews  9 месяцев назад +9

      The Tim Burton version definitely hit the book beat for beat slightly more than the 1971 film. However, the end of the 71 film is superior to the end of the book. It actually gave Charlie something important to do rather than just being in the background until Wonka just gives him the factory. Wonka in the book is pretty close to how Wilder played him. Wilder did take the character in a more sarcastic direction though so that is fair to say. This film though, it was supposed to be a prequel to the 71 film so it just felt really weird that they didn’t try to fit into that universe at all. Appreciate the comment!

      In almost every case of a book being adapted to film, I say that the book is better. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is one of those very rare exceptions where every movie version is better than the book, in my opinion. That said, I can recognize that the original story does belong to the original author, and he does have the right to hate adaptations of his work.

    • @hardcutreviews
      @hardcutreviews  9 месяцев назад +6

      @@BasedLiz Definiitely fair. Most books are better than their adaptations. Very rare it's the other way around and Dahl can hate it all he wants. His right. A lot of people keep citing that he didn't like the '71 film but I'm not sure what that has to do with this film being a prequel to the '71 film. It's not a prequel to the book. If they wanted to honor the book in some way, even though this story is entirely independent of the book, they should have erased any connections to the '71 film completely and let it live on it's own, but they can't. They needed to tap into the nostalgia of a classic to draw in the older crowds. Just seems odd to tie it to that universe then not set it in that universe.

    Timothèe Chalamet is adorable! He is literally the cutest little angel ever and I recently developed a crush on him. By the way, I'm currently writing a novel about Willy Wonka's daughter, Hillary. It's called Little Wonka. Fun fact: Willy Wonka's wife's name is Ava. And when I write Willy Wonka in this book about this thirteen-year-old girl who's half Lynn Loud Jr. athlete (If you know about The Loud House, you'll know what I'm talking about) and half chocolatier (takes after her daddy and mama, Ava), I see Timothèe Chalamet in this version. In the book after an introduction with Willy marrying Ava and Ava becoming pregnant with Hillary then giving birth to Hillary after nine months, the novel really starts when Hillary meets fourteen year old Sir Patrick Roswell Larkin. He's the youngest son of Pepperidge Larkin and the younger brother of Rocky Larkin. According to prophecy, Hillary is to save London from an evil threat. Turns out Pepperidge is the threat and Rocky is also a threat. They turn Yub Yub, Willy's trusted Oompa Loompa and Hillary's uncle since before she was born who speaks with a British accent and also speaks Loompanese, which is actually Ewok language, into an evil version and Pepperidge clones Patrick into evil clones and Hillary had to shoot them but ends up actually shooting Patrick (the real one). Her tears heal him, Willy is proud of his daughter, Hillary and Patrick share their first kiss, they end up together at the end, and Pepperidge and Rocky are arrested and they turn into the famous Roald Dahl characters, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker.
