Gene Wilder > Johnny Depp
KeepTheEarthBelowMyFeet
I really doubt this, even if it's true. Tumblr likes to say everyone made up every scene on the spot. Like the fresh prince dad scene
TheAncientSea
Fun fact: The Oompa Loompas were all Gene Wilder's real house staff. He had had them dressing like that and singing years before the movie
Lykasmitts
the way these come out, almost as if.... none of the actors read the books?
AwkwardGirl4691
He practiced the scenes on the set all by himself?
miggiesmalls
Sometimes I'm bothered by tumblr posts. But sometimes they're right and I have to agree with them, which bothers me. Damn you tumblr.
mycatsnameisedison
I actually hate this movie...it scared the living shit out of me as a kid and I just can't watch it. Everything about it just bothered me
Belah
Omg me too!! I can't even watch the new ones because of it!
BlindyBlindMansSonnySon
From what I have learned from tumblr no actors are actually acting, they are all just plopped into scenes and not knowing what is going on
ICantBelieveIGotOutOfBedForThis
Orlando Bloom in any Lord of the Rings movie background.
CandidGamera
Why is everybody exclusively praising Wilder over this? The OTHER ACTORS not breaking character when things go off-script deserve more kudos
ChainsawHandsJoe
They could have been ad-libbing.
Usemamechecksout
Gene wilder didn't know who gene wilder was
smeckledorf
Bullshit.
RyanSandow
I agree, scenes are shot many times from multiple angles. I'm amazed by how many people believe it without a doubt.
Vyzhr
Definitely in my top ten movies, also recommend Young Frankenstein.
GreenYawgmoth
Where wolf? There wolf! There castle.
Cereaza
I have a hard time accepting they didn't know the tunnel scene was coming when they were on the set. Although the images... maybe not.
tenderape
That's acting?
IanT0922
Is it raining? Is it snowing? Is a hurricane a-blowing?
damnallthegoodnamesaretaken
I'll always upvote Gene Wilder.
ASquirrelNamedLloyd
I have such a crush on Gene Wilder
CharlieNine4
This movie wasn't even planned. Its just by coincidence that someone was filming.
GetAwayFromMeHoe
it's like the thing with Alan rickman in die hard when he's falling at the end how they said theyd release him on 3 but they let him go at 1
Splodgey
Who the hell hasn't read the book and doesn't know about the tunnel scene?
TheFilmLife
Gene Wilder was probably the only actor. The rest was simply a hidden-cam documentary...
meadowgreene
That scene terrified me as a kid. I'd always have to leave the room when it came on.
GRiMGRiZ
when i was watching it as a kid, my dad had to leave the room when violet turned into a blueberry. always made fun of him for that shit
dundundunnnn
Always loved this scene, but then Total Recall is one of the first movies I remember watching. Nothing comes close to "Open your Mindddddd"
Alice3173
That was always my favorite scene as a kid, lol. Then again nightmarish stuff has always appealed to me. Oops!
ruint
This joker cosplay is terrible. tl;dr
dundundunnnn
Shows what you know. Thats the madd hatter, man.
whiskers4sab
And the rowers keep on rowing...
LongGreasyDick
And now im getting the movie and the opener for Mansons first cd mixed up
adrastea72
...which direction are we.. going?
supinebovine
And they’re certainly not showing... ANY SIGNS THAT THEY ARE SLOWING!
luvas
This totes killed my boner ... IT WILL NEVER BE BONING
PatrickRob82
WWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
AgentDucky42
(Awkward pause) "Well. I've seen enough. Come on, Charlie, we're going home"
roguechikken
Stop. The boat.
flatduojet
His voice.... Still terrifying.
GoburinNeko
Apparently the book was a nightmare. Like it was brutal.
mordaedil
One of the first books I read as a child. Not that bad, for a generation that grew up on Transformers.
lurkvoter
It was a really good book! Some of his other books are honestly more brutal, like The BFG and The Witches.
helpnonamesareleft
The Witches is such a dark kids book. But totally one of my favorites.
lurkvoter
I loved it when I was a kid. I haven't read his stuff in years but it made a huge impression - his books are fucking great and scary.
cheezysockets
What do you mean apparently!!?? Read it!
TheMuffinsMan
That scene made for a great Pendulum track.
unbinkable
Through The Loop!!
torpthorkertoo
Hell yes! First thing I thought of.
MladyFiend
I had terrible dreams because of Gene Wilder in this movie. it honestly traumatized me. I can't watch anything with him in it.
AwkwardGirl4691
Why are u scared of Gene Wilder?
MladyFiend
His face just really creeps me out. I have no idea
AwkwardGirl4691
his face isnt creepy O-o
MladyFiend
Maybe it would be if you'd had the same dream.
AwkwardGirl4691
what happened in the dream?
cjpoet
Gene Wilder recommendation: "The Frisco Kid" (1979) feat. Harrison Ford.
arluinuial
Great movie, one of my favorites of Wilder's.
AnthropomorphicRepresentationOfMyRepressedAngst
I prefer the wako kid.
giantegg
but I shoot with this hand
tb24601
Most people look at me like I have a second head when I mention "The Frisco Kid"! Hoorah! I am not alone in seeing this! <3
FlyingTigerRose
Glad someone else knows about that gem. Dancing with the Indians - priceless!
iidosee
Gene Wilder recommendation: kiss me like a stranger. A wonderful book.
ast911
Gene Wilder recommendation: kiss me like a stranger. Not a book or movie , just a request to Gene himself! Bow chika wow wow
iidosee
I appreciate you.
ast911
I love you too! We all know that's what you meant ;)
iidosee
When I was a kid, I just thought he was funny, never occurred to me how handsome he was until I was an adult.
flatdeer
That is one of my all-time favorite movies. They are both excellent in that. Most people don't know Ford can do good comedy.
SeanJohnBobbyWTF
I don't know, just fly casual.
emberfish
"We had a slight uh, weapons malfunction, but it's fine now, everything's fine, we're all fine... How... How are you?"
Panzer89
Fun fact: Gene Wilder wasn't even supposed to be in the movie, he just wandered onto set in costume and they wrote the script around him.
MoooCow
I heard it was supposed to be a documentary of a candy factory originally.
Xycron
Fun fact: This movie wasn't even filmed with cameras. The writers actually summoned a one eyed triangle who projected into peoples minds
smilesmakeeverythingbetter
Illuminati confirmed. +1
RagingAura
to bad those pesky pine twins turned it into stone
PORTUGUESETORTURING
Fun Fact: THe one eyed triangle wasn't even supposed to be on the set, Beyonce just summoned it to fuck with Gene Wilder

Best one

Bill Brasky!!!!!
Kattsune
That man is amazing.
Sporkeldee
That's not correct at all. He was cast and sent many letters regarding his costume.

blue78664
And this is why I like this version better
MrKnesh
I personally feel that Marilyn Manson would have made the perfect Willy Wonka in the remake.
ShouTuckerTheEvilTrucker
That and the "Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker line.
jayxero
Also because the other version suuuuuucked.
MrBananaBeak
I maintain that the Depp version is an abomination of cinema equivalent to The Phantom Menace.
Bootsy81
I agree. Terrible movie. I really can't understand why people seem to like it on here. I'm starting to think it's just cause Depp was in it.
beneaththemanwefindhisnucleus
Are you an angel?
firecatsrt
You really shouldn't mumble
Cyanosis1184
Except Roald Dahl hated the whole thing.
WhimsicalCalamari
Death of the Author and all...
ChaoticScholar
Excellent work Mr Barthes
EwanMe
Why?
ThePastmaster
IIRC he felt that the film cheapened the story he did by cutting out important pieces. The writer of Mary Poppins though the same thing.
Bigmfworm1
Who gives a shit what Dahl liked? The masses have spoken. Sometimes the author is wrong.
luckytyphoon
I've been told by someone who read the book that the remake actually has a much more accurate portrayal of Willie wonka than the original
OzmaAsimov
I've read the book. It's a more accurate translation of the story (mostly), but I do not agree that its Wonka was more accurate.
tubularboobular
That's how I feel about it
ohfuckIhavetopickausername
The ending of the Tim Burton version is total shit. Wonka's father was not a dentist, that whole idea was contrived and ruined it for me.
luckytyphoon
One small detail was enough to ruin the movie for you?
ohfuckIhavetopickausername
It wasn't really a small detail. It was the driving force for Johnny Depp's character. Daddy wouldn't let me have candy, so I became Wonka.
luckytyphoon
Eh, I get you're point. Personally I think the original is a better film, and the new one is at least a competent film. I think it's fine
asquiiiiiiisha
"I've been told" dude it's not a long book, read it for yourself. (Neither film is a particularly strict adaptation.)
luckytyphoon
To be honest I didn't even know it was a book until a few months ago, I'll get around to it. I have tons of other books I want to read first
CimmieDarque
Dahl's widown said he would have approved of the Depp movie as it was more true to the darkness of Wonka.
CimmieDarque
I probably meant widow but typed this in a state of candy euphoria.
simonripley
Come with me...
CimmieDarque
and you'll beeeee
Somanyquestions
No one likes the new version better. But I admit the translated songs were brilliant. The English ones are crap since music covers lyrics.
Shovi
"Thank you" for speaking for everyone else....
WorfsPruneJuice
What do you mean better? I don't know of another version.
MostAwkwardPenguinInNYC
Johnny Depp son
MostAwkwardPenguinInNYC
-2 points for mentioning another version? y'all need jesus.
WorfsPruneJuice
I know. I just felt it wasn't worthy to be compared.
mungbean666
I love both versions and can't compare the two. Theyre completely different films IMO but yanno.
wutangbarrett
That version wasn't bad though.
KungPowDicken
I'm gonna be honest. The best part of that movie was the line "everything is edible even I'm edible, but that's cannibalism ect. Ect."
ButIDidntDieThoughItWasAJoke
Apparently it's more faithful to the book, which in this case, isn't always a good thing.
OtherErinFromTheOffice
I enjoy it in its own right, but no way in hell will it ever hold a candle to the original.
