Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
★★★★★
I really loved everything about this movie, the songs and characters were amazing. The part where Charlie's Mom starts singing for Charlie to keep his head up WAS SO GOOD. One thing I have to point out is that chocolate water. It was essentially just brown water lol? My favorite moment from the entire movie was when they were on the boat and like Mr. Wonka started yelling GOD IT WAS SO FUNNY 😭 The ending felt kind of abrupt but overall just a good movie. Classic. Fucking amazing. PLUS Charlie WAS ADORABLEEEE

I did not enjoy this movie... I felt like I was kinda ripping into it too hard last time so lemme contain my thoughts. Whenever Tim Burton directs a movie you can usually tell due to the setting and theme he really sets around his films. I fucking hate the dreary ass mood in this movie. The wonka movies are not meant to be taken seriously by any account, and this movie doesn't, but I don't enjoy the parody of it all. Wonka himself has a very unique personality that I don't like at all.
He's mean to clildren over petty things, is overly rude, has an awkward demanor, like idk yall... I did not like Johhny Depps portral of him AT ALLL.... The plot itself was not very good either. Like I said earlier, this movie is more of a parody not to be taken seriously so the "musical" part of it are more like song-and-dance cues by the oompa loompas. No other characters sing other than them (weird?). Also Willy has random flashbacks to his dentist father that apparently hates candy which causes a whole thing.. In the end he ends up reconciling with him with Charlie there too (???)
The factory was not something I found to be appealing in any form!!!! Like it didn't look good.. The oompa loompas were just one guy several times, the whole film felt cheap for its budget. The whole movie was 1hr 55m but felt sooooo sloooowwww....
Also about Tim Burton; Did you know he has a movie titled "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter"??

I took the absolute biggest breath of fresh air after watching this. And I hate that I love this movie!! It is SO SO SOOOOO FUCKING GOOD. After watching it I became absolutely Wonkapilled. The SINGING, THE VISUALS, THE EVERYTHING!!! I was concerned after seeing the Trailer that Timothee Chalamet was playing Wonka but I could not be more wrong. His preformance was SPECTACULAR. He must have been posessed by the Wonka spirit because he has easily become my favorite Wonkas. The movie is about Willy before he gets his factory, its an amazing premise. If I had one word to describe this amazing movie
I would say "silly". The songs made me levitate to the HEAVENS. When "Pure Imagination" was sung I literally was gobsmacked cause damn. At the end we get to see the factory it looked so FUCKING GOOD and yes OOMPA LOOMPA REVEAL 🔥🔥🔥🔥FIVE STARS. I would give it a thousand if I could.
