Ben Shapiro's Conservative Take on Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory 

Rebecca happened to me as well

It's the video not your computer

Do people still fall for this "delete system32" meme? Does it even work on modern windows machines?

SebastianMisch I deleted on a couple of computers at school a year or two back, not sure if people fall for it though.

I did, it now wha-

It's just incredible how a 2 minute analysis from a smart person can change your view of that thing.

He and Jordan Peterson also changed my views on Pinocchio, Frozen, Peter Pan, Harry Potter 2, and Sleeping Beauty, for all of their psychological and moral implications.

Brandon Young, i thought it was just a movie about aborting unwanted children,

I don't know about you but, I kind of already knew that. Let me explain, have you ever seen at add on TV and said to yourself something like "i could of done that", I think most of us noticed the things Ben pointed out (like Joe stealing the drinks). However, like those products, what counts is not that you had the idea or even the know how to implement the idea,but you are the first one to make it and/or do it. You could say that I had all the puzzle pieces but never bothered to put them together.

+ian hock really ... and what may I ask brought you to that conclusion? If I had to make a guess I would say that the kids survive in the book, if that was the case (I didn't read the book) then that would not excuse the film since I'm sure Ben and I are/were not the only people that saw the film, did not read the book, and were left with that impression. However if your evidence is actually something else besides some assumptions you might of made, please let me know. (to clarify, I am simply asking out of curiosity and do not mean to implied malice)

yes

It’d be like the FemFreq, but with...

I'm afraid if he would he would do it one sidedly and very thin for him to discuss films I would say.

If he were to identify certain themes in the films and then suggest further examples of said themes throughout either other forms of art and history.

Tyler Amon Think of the bed sores and atrophied muscles! He should've stumbled about!

If you've actually read the novel or watched the Gene Wilder movie, you'll know that it's all exaggerated allegory. Grandpa Joe being supposedly "bedridden" is nothing more than Dahl making it clear that he's past his prime and has essentially outlived his usefulness to society. When he sees the chance (Charlie finding the golden ticket) to give his life meaning once more, he takes it and casts all doubts aside of his own ability. His miraculously fast recovery is nothing more than stage drama. It's more akin to throwing off a sullen mood for the chance to get yourself some nachos, than any political commentary. Dahl was not a political author. He wrote about social issues, but he deliberately left any political commentary to an absolute minimum in his work. THe message with regard to Grandpa Hoe is basically: If you can find a purpose, you can work towards accomplishing it. After all, Grandpa Joe doesn't recover immediately. He takes a while to get into his stride.

Dylan Wight Check the second to last time you wrote "Grandpa Joe" 😂😂😂.

well, I don't think the incinerator was walking around looking for people to eat up. if that was the case, it'd be an entirely different tale

well they've got a good sporting chance don't they?

Although it was hard to tell how much Wonka was testing them and how much he was just screwing with them . . . or if Wonka himself was always aware of the difference.

eh, I sort of preferred the ambiguity, but it works either way.

In the film, Charlie asks Wonka about what happened to the others and Wonka tells him "They'll be back to their terrible selves." There's no ambiguity, Wonka didn't kill them off.

Nathan Biller god that movie was demented...just creepy...not interesting or quirky like the original but just how weird johhny deep make us feel

Nathan Biller Jack Sparrow doesn't belong in a chocolate factory 😳.

I've never even bothered to watch the Depp version after reading a brief description of the plot.

Jonquil Gemstone aye, but he definately belonged in fear and loathing in los Vegas

I thought the Tim Burton Re adaption was pretty good. Willy Wonka wasn't as joyful and jolly like he's meant to be but hey, it's pretty good and sticks to the book.

MasterFhyl bullshit liar....

What exactly are you calling bullshit on? That a child could have such insight? I was raised by a single mother. I was also highly intelligent as a child (still am as an adult for the record) I identified like hell with Charlie as a kid, and compared his mother to my mother. I most certainly could not imagine my mother (who worked her ass of at MULTIPLE jobs so that while we were still poor, I was still looked after... when it was just the two of us) ALSO having to also look after 4 deadbeat grandparents, who while perfectly capable of working, as Grandpa Joe himself proving by hopping out of bed and dancing the second he wanted something, chose to lay in bed all day for literally 20 years. So yeah, it was something I noticed, and was bothered by as a child.

Libtards™

Lomak ^

These one liner desperate attempts to blow shit out of proportion get stale to anyone else? It's always some bland broad statement without even a single objective fact to support, such as a quote or well, pretty much anything of substance. Keep on preaching to yourself though friend, show how woke u are bro. =)

>literally uses libtards as a real epithet >Rick and Morty profile pic >wants to engage in real political discourse I lol'd

If you want to draw my comment about ben and his kids as some huge political statement then go ahead. More likely it is that libtards are so libtarded it's just second nature to refer to them as libtards any time they need mentioning. I mean shit look at that essay that other libtard wrote that thinks I'm going to take my time to read it. I Lol'd too =)

Ry He was the best writer of children's books, ever!

I only learned recently that he had started a third Charlie book- a sequel to "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator" (which was not nearly as good as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory). Dahl wrote one chapter of "Charlie in the White House" before he died.

Solaceboy joe Biden obviously. Grandpa joe is Joe Biden.

Lmao

Yes I think people just love creepy theories too much

People like to ignore that part

Well seen. My bad.

charlie and the chocolate factory was the name of the book both movies where based on

Matthew Lee the reason the title was changed from the book was because "Charlie" was American soldier's nickname for the North Vietnamese. The studio didn't want to alienate a bunch of vets and their kids.

The irony being that Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is more a movie about Charlie and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is more a movie about Willy Wonka.

Alex Stamp - I thought it was just because Willy Wonka was the whimsical, strange, and interesting part of the story, so they named the movie after him. Do you have a citation for the Vietnam connection? If what you said is true, that is pretty interesting.

Jory Adamson Yes he is. From what I've read, this movie was his one and only role.

@@mainstreetsaint36 smart guy. Got out of Hollywood while he could!

SgtPepper bruh they should make a character based off if ben

SgtPepper SAVAGE SHAPIRO STRIKE!

Well now we need to just start adding the "FATALITY" bit to the videos of him destroying his opponents in debates.

He’d pretty much win any round with Phoenix Wright as well!😂

I’m a teacher too......and the book is better than either of the movies made.

@@SuperEdge67 the book is good but willy Wonka and the chocolate factory is one of my favorite childhood movies loved it since I was 7 In 1991 when i first saw it on tv huge fan of this movie ☻

Actually, pipe tobacco.

Rob Young what's interesting about this movie and the remake is whom the center of the film is for each version. In, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, is the focus is Charlie Bucket; Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the focus is Willie Wonka.

Moviefan2k4 if you look, Wonka isn't so much scolding Charlie as he is Grandpa Joe. I believe that he figured out Grandpa Joe was steering Charlie the wrong way. Just look at whom Wonka is keeping eye-contact with through the whole rant.

"You lose! Good day, sir!" Wonka wouldn't say this to a young lad; no one would. Most would say, young man, or his first name.

Timothy Dalbeck That's partly true, but in a behind the scenes I learned that it was also because Wilder just could not bring himself to yell in a child's face.

Ryan Schneider either way, it adds a bit of nuance to Gene's character in the movie. Even back then a rarity in a film like this.

True WingChun there’s a quick shot in the movie that shows chamber pots under the grandparents’ bed.

Same. I always wondered if Willy Wonka was real as a kid and wondered if he’d look like Gene Wilder or Johnny Depp or a Weasley Twin

>>

D Melle *>>>>>>>>>

true he did a better job playing wonka but overall I still liked Charlie and the Chocolate factory better than the original

That is like comparing apples to ornages. They are both different and unique

nah nah you got it wrong

He didn't destroy your childhood he gave you the moral lesson of the movie

SquidlyTV Seems more like his imagined lesson from the movie. If anything the "villains" were the other, misbehaved, children.

Exactly this what kids should take from the movie the lessons

How many SJWs can you cast perfectly as the children? How many are *all* of the children *at once?* Fat entitled disrespectful attention whores, the lot of them.

Uncle Tom Genocide nuuu lol

After his usual takes on his podcast, he does a things he likes/hates segment at the end of his shows where he talks about movies, books, music, etc.

Agreed. I wonder how she would have reacted to Wonka himself?!😂

Agreed!😃
