Willy Wonka & amp; The Chocolate Factory is a 1971 American musical film directed by Mel Stuart, and starring Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. This is an adaptation of Roald Dahl's 1964 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory novel. Dahl is credited with writing movie scenarios; However, David Seltzer, unpredictable in the film, was brought to rework his movie scenario against Dahl's wishes, making major changes to the ending and adding music numbers. These changes and other decisions made by the director caused Dahl to deny the film.

The film tells the story of Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum) when he received a Golden Ticket and visited Willy Wonka's chocolate factory with four other children from around the world. Filming took place in Munich in 1970, and the film was released by Paramount Pictures on June 30, 1971. With a budget of only $ 3 million, the film received generally positive reviews and generated $ 4 million at the end of its initial process. The film became very popular in part through repeated television viewing and home entertainment sales. In 1972, the film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score, and Wilder was nominated for the Golden Globe as Best Actor in Musical or Comedy, but lost favorably on Fiddler on the Roof. The film also introduced the song "The Candy Man", which later became a popular hit when recorded by Sammy Davis Jr. In 2014, the film is selected for preservation in the National Film Registry of the United States by the Library of Congress as "Culturally, historically, or aesthetically."

Plot

In a small town, Charlie Bucket, a poor whore, watched a group of children visiting a candy store. On his way home, he passed Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. A mysterious puzzle read out the first line of William Allingham's poem "The Fairies", and tells Charlie, "Nobody ever comes in, and no one ever comes out." Charlie hurries home to his mother's widowed house and grandparents lying in bed. After telling Grandpa Joe about the tinker, Joe reveals that Wonka locked the factory because other candy makers, including rival Arthur Slugworth, sent spies to steal the recipe. Wonka disappears, but after three years returns selling candy; the origin of Wonka's workforce is unknown.

The next day, Wonka announced that he hid five "Golden Tickets" in the Wonka brown bar. The ticket finder will receive a factory tour and a lifelong supply of chocolate. The first four tickets were found by the greedy Augustus Gloop, spoiled Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde chewing gum, and TV-obsessed Mike Teevee. When every winner was announced on TV, a man whispered to them. Charlie opened two Wonka Bars but did not find the Golden Ticket. The newspapers announced the fifth ticket found by a millionaire in Paraguay causing Charlie to lose hope. The next day, Charlie finds money in the gutter and uses it to buy a Scrumdiddlyumptious bar. With that change, he bought another Wonka Bar for Joe. Walking home, when Charlie hears people reading newspapers; Revealing that Paraguay millionaire ticket is a fake, he opened the Wonka Bar and found the fifth golden ticket. As he rushes home, he meets the same man who looks whispered to the other winners, who introduce himself as Slugworth and offer a gift for a sample of Wonka's latest creation, Goblokper Abadi.

Back home with the Golden Ticket, Charlie chose Joe as his companion. The next day, Wonka greets the ticket winner and takes them inside where each signed a contract before the tour. The factory includes brown rivers, edible fungi, lickable wallpaper, and candy and other discoveries. As the visitors tasted this, they saw the Wonka worker, a little man known as Oompa-Loompas. Augustus fell into the brown river and was sucked into the Fudge Room. In the Inventing Room, everyone receives the Eternal Goblokper. Violet became a large blueberry after chewing experimental candy containing three dishes, more than Wonka's warning. The group reaches the Drinking Loom Room, where Charlie and Joe ignore Wonka's warning and taste the drinks. They float and experience an almost fatal encounter with a fan before belching back to the ground. In the Chocolate Egg Room, Veruca demanded a golden goose for himself before falling into the dump that leads to the stove, with his father falling trying to save him. The group tested Wonka's Wonkavision, only for Mike to teleport himself and become several inches.

With Charlie and Joe left, Wonka says they get nothing because they break the contract by stealing Fizzy Lifting Drinks. Angered by this, Joe suggested to Charlie that he should give Slugworth Goblokper to take revenge, but Charlie returns the candy back to Wonka. With this selfless action, Wonka declares Charlie the winner. He reveals that Slugworth is actually Mr. Wilkinson, an employee of Wonka, and an offer to buy Gobstopper is a moral test only authorized by Charlie. All three entered the "Wonkavator", a multi-directional glass elevator that flew out from the factory. Towering over the city, Wonka reveals that the prize is actually a factory; Wonka creates a contest to find a decent heir, so Charlie and his family can move soon. Wonka then reminds Charlie not to forget the man who suddenly received everything he wanted. Charlie asked, "What happened?" where Wonka replied, "She lives happily ever after."

Production

Development

The idea to adapt the book into a film came as the ten-year-old daughter of director Mel Stuart read the book and asked her father to make a movie from the film, with "Uncle Dave" (producer David L. Wolper) producing it. Stuart showed the book to Wolper, who happened to be in the middle of a conversation with Quaker Oats Company about a vehicle to introduce a new candy from a Chicago-based subsidiary Breaker Confections (since renamed Willy Wonka Candy Company and sold to Nestle  ©). Wolper persuaded the company, which had no prior experience in the film industry, to purchase rights to books and finance the images for the purpose of promoting the new Quaker Oats Wonka Bar .

It was agreed that the film would be children's music, and that Dahl himself would write a screenplay. However, the title was changed to Willy Wonka and Chocolate Factory .

Screenwriter David Seltzer contains an exclusive gimmick for movies that Wonka has cited many literary sources, such as Arthur O'Shaughnessy Ode , Oscar Wilde The Importance of Being Wise , Samuel Taylor Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and William Shakespeare Trader of Venice . Seltzer also works Slugworth (just mentioned as a rival candy maker in the book) into the plot as an actual character (only to be disclosed to Wilkinson, one of Wonka's agents, at the end of the film).

Casting

The six members of Monty Python: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin, expressed interest in playing with Wonka, but at the time they were considered not a big enough name for an international audience. The three members, Cleese, Idle and Palin, were then taken seriously for the same role in Tim Burton's version.

Before Wilder was officially cast for the role, the producers considered Fred Astaire, Joel Gray, Ron Moody, and Jon Pertwee. Spike Milligan is Roald Dahl's original choice to play Willy Wonka. Seller Peter even begged Dahl for the role.

When Wilder was cast for the role, he accepted it on one condition:

When I first entered, I wanted to get out of the door with a stick and then walk to the crowd with a limp. After the crowd saw Willy Wonka was a paralyzed man, they all whispered to themselves and then became silent. As I walked toward them, my wand drowned into one of the cobblestones that I lived and stood upright, by itself; but I kept going, until I realized that I no longer had my wand. I started to fall forward, and just before I touched the ground, I did a beautiful frontal flip and rose again, to be applauded.

The reason why Wilder wants this in the movie is that "since then, no one will know whether I'm lying or telling the truth."

Jean Stapleton rejected Mrs. Teevee. Jim Backus is considered for the role of Sam Beauregarde. Sammy Davis, Jr. wanted to play Bill, the owner of a candy store, but Stuart did not like the idea because he felt that the presence of a big star in the candy store world would damage reality. However, Davis's recording of the opening movie number, "The Candy Man," will be on the Billboard magazine chart in 1972, despite the fact that Davis initially hated the song. Anthony Newley also wanted to portray Bill, but Stuart also objected for the same reason.

Filming

The subject of photography began on 31 August 1970, and ended on 19 November 1970. The main filming locations were Munich, Bavaria, West Germany, therefore significantly cheaper than filming in the United States and the arrangements were conducive to the Wonka plant; Stuart also liked the ambiguity and unfamiliarity of the location. The factory's external shots were filmed in gas work at Stadtwerke MÃÆ'¼nchen (Emmy-Noether-StraÃÆ'Ÿe 10); entrances and side buildings still exist. The outside of Charlie Bucket's house, which is just one set built for the film, was filmed at QuellenstraÃÆ'Ÿe in Munich, Bavaria. Charlie's school was filmed at Katholisches Pfarramt St. Sylvester, Biedersteiner StraÃÆ'Ÿe 1 in Munich. Bill's Candy Shop was filmed in LilienstraÃÆ'Ÿe, Munich. The closing sequence when the Wonkavator flies over the factory is a NÃÆ'¶rdlingen recording in Bavaria.

Harper Goff's production designer centers the plant in a huge Chocolate Room. According to the Paris Themmen, who plays Mike Teevee, "The river is made of water with food coloring At one point, they pour a little chocolate powder into it to try to thicken it but it does not really work.When asked this question, Michael BÃÆ'¶llner, who plays Augustus Gloop, replied, 'It's a dirty and smelly vater.' "

When interviewed for the 30th anniversary special issue, Gene Wilder stated that he enjoyed working with most of the child actors, but said that he and the crew had some problems with the Paris Themmen, claiming that he was "a handful".

Promotions

Prior to its release, the film received publicity early despite TV commercials offering "Willy Wonka candy factory kits" to send $ 1.00 and two seals from Quaker cereal boxes such as King Vitaman, Life and one of Cap'n Crunch brands.

Reception

Willy Wonka was released on June 30, 1971. The film was not a huge success, becoming the 53rd best-selling movie of the year in the US, generating over $ 2.1 million on its opening weekend. It received positive reviews from critics such as Roger Ebert who gave the film four out of four stars, while comparing it to The Wizard of Oz. Ebert said, "All this is a foreword to a simple statement: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is probably the best movie of its kind since The Wizard of Oz. Everything that is usually claimed by family movie, but not: Fun, funny, scary, fun, and, most importantly, the original work of imagination. "Willy Wonka" is a definite and extraordinary swirling fantasy that he does in all kinds of thoughts, interesting because, like all classical fantasies, he is fascinated with himself. "

In the mid-1980s, Willy Wonka & amp; The Chocolate Factory has experienced a surge in popularity thanks in large part to repeated television and home video sales. After the 25th anniversary of the birthday theater in 1996, released on DVD the following year, allows to reach a new generation of viewers. The film was released as a special edition remaster on DVD and VHS in 2001 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the film. In 2003, Entertainment Weekly ranked 25th in the "50 Top Culture Movies" of all time.

Willy Wonka was ranked No. 1. 74 in Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments for the "scary tunnel" scene.

In 2017, the film holds a 91% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes with an average rating of 7.7/10 based on 42 reviews. The site's important consensus states: " Willy Wonka & Chocolate Factory is strange yet entertaining, full of detours that do not always work but express the uniqueness of the movie."

Dahl Reactions

Dahl does not recognize the film, a script partially rewritten by David Seltzer after Dahl failed to meet the deadline. Dahl says he's "disappointed" because "he thinks it puts too much emphasis on Willy Wonka and not enough on Charlie", as well as casting Gene Wilder instead of Spike Milligan. Dahl is also "outraged" by deviations in Seltzer plots designed in scenario designs, including the Slugworth conversion, the minor characters in the book, into spies (so the movie could become criminals) and "soft drinks with liquor" scenes along with music other than original Oompa Loompa composition (including "Pure Imagination" and "The Candy Man"), and the final dialogue for the film. In 1996, Dahl's second wife, Felicity, commented on her husband's objections to the film saying "they always wanted to change the storyline of the book.What makes Hollywood think the kids want the ending of a story to change for a movie, when they receive it in a book?"

The film was first released on DVD in 1997/1999 in the "25th anniversary edition" as a double sided disc containing a wide screen and a "standard" version. The "standard" version is an open matte print, where mattes used to create widescreen images are removed, revealing information that was originally intended to be hidden from viewers. Copies of VHS and Betamax are also available, but only contain the "standard" version.

A special edition DVD was released, celebrating the film's 30th anniversary, on August 28, 2001, but only in full screen. Due to the lack of a letter release, the fan petition ultimately led to Warner Home Video releasing a widescreen version on November 13, 2001. It was also released on VHS, with only one special feature (making feature). Some of the original cast members reunited to record a documentary for the release of this special edition DVD. Both editions feature a restored sound, and better image quality. In addition to documentaries, DVDs include trailers, galleries, and audio comments by players.
