"Don't forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted. He lived happily ever after." That he did, Mr. Wilder, that he did.
where is fancy bred, in the heart or in the head We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams adeiou, adeiou, parting is such sweet sorrow
@@Q2innhow do you know? If anything, if he saw the film I’m sure he would have appreciated it. The movie was well written and showed respect to his character
This movie was such a love letter to the original. The entire production made sure of it, especially with it being a homage to Gene Wilders performance. An absolute masterpiece of cinema in every way.
@@AimGently where did he say that? :0 just curious because there literally was a sequel in the book that it was based on hahaha. Willy wonka and the glass elevator
@@AimGently Im pretty sure he was only talking about the remake, the 2005 one in paticular because he didnt like Tim burtons dark take on it. you can correct me if im wrong and you find the quote.
I must admit, my eyes watered up when he began to sing that song at the end of Wonka. All the way through the film, you would hear a few notes of it and I thought that was all we were getting. The boom. Suddenly the loss of Gene Wilder hit me all over again
I heard it too 4 or 5 times and finally just as the movie starts to wrap up, my heart sank as it wasnt sung........ Then the castle, the oompa lompa and the castle and the notes started and my heart skipped a beat....... I was watching if he was going to mess it up. I was shocked to tears and i could swear Gene was on set guiding him! He's still young Timothy, give him a few more years of acting, some more miles on his soul and Gene will have a run for his money.
Same... I wasn't so thrilled about the near-magical abilities that Wonka had, but when he went into this song I too teared up. It was pure redemption for me. :)
Timothee has a lovely softness to his voice. My grandson and I have been to the cinema to see it twice now,. Its brilliant but like most I grew up with Gene Wilder and therefore introduces my daughter to it. They are difference enough to have both in your DVD library.
I was expecting the new movie to be an all out prequel, but I think it works really well on it's own. I'd like to see a Chalamet version of the original story when he's a little older.
Was hesitant about how this Wonka would come across but absolutely loved it. My favourite. Took my granddaughter to see it twice and bought video. She loves everything about it. ❤
The way they built up Pure Imagination in the new movie was so good. Made me almost shed a tear in the theater when I first saw it. Brought back many memories as a kid
@@Cyannah117 Another easily forgotten hollywood recashing. Just like "Oz the great and powerful". Hollywood sucks at backstory movies. Gene would have felt the same way.
I like how Tim's wonka is younger thus his is more bombastic. He is a young man with his entire life before him. A life of pure imagination waiting to burst from him. Genes is beautiful, but always hit me as sad. Even before the new one came out. He is a man at the end of his life. No longer looking to share his work with the world, but with one person to carry on his work after he passes on. Tim is excited about the life of pure imagination. Gene is sad he will have to live this perfect life. There is no life I know that compares to pure imagination indeed.
There were a few moments in the film when Timothy captured Gene’s facial expressions perfectly! He truly portrayed this role with love and respect. It was wonderful!
I went to see the Gene Wilder one when I was a kid, when it first came out, and i was EXTREMELY doubtful of the need for a prequel (never bothered with depps, he looked so creepy). Within the first two minutes of Wonka 2023 I knew I'd love it and i did. Timmy Chalamet was fine casting and his singing was 70s movie worthy❤❤😊. BTW did you know the original plan was to dub in a singer for Gene Wilder but when he did the scene they realized his voice fit just perfectly? I've seen it 6x in theatre.....who else is loving this iteration??
Well, I didn’t think Johnny looked creepy at all. But I agree that Gene Wilder was more genuine. As for Timotheé, I haven’t seen his version properly because it was only through trailers. So I don’t really have a say in the matter yet but from what I’ve seen so far, he looks great too.
I have seen the different versions. I still like the 1970s version a lot, kind of liked Johnny Depp version, but enjoyed Wonka a lot. But I already like musicals a lot. I wish this version was on Spotify. I listen to the songs from the soundtracks on there.
Absolutely agree. The original movie is one of my favorite movies of all time, and Wonka absolutely captured the magic of it. Timothee Chalamet did such an incredible job as Willy Wonka and everyone involved did amazingly with the movie, Probably my fav film of 2023!
Told my Mom I was going to see this movie. She said ‘Aren’t you a little old to be seeing Willy Wonka?’ 😮 Never. If we close off the parts of our childhood that made us happy, we will never be happy as adults. ❤ I’ve seen all three adaptations and they are all wonderful in their own way.
oh I got that response from a friend the other week when I said that I want to see it myself. I'm so not interested in seeing anything in the cinemas these days so happy to wait though. Totally agree... so important to still be in touch with our child-ness, the wonder... "If we close off the parts of our childhood that made us happy, we will never be happy as adults." perfectly said.
Timothee did such a great job stepping into this role. It was a nice comparison of the character at such widely different stages in their life. Chocolate can be sweet, but it can be bitter too.
The best part was the Coin flip into the hole in his pocket. Because it falls into a storm drain and later on we know Charlie finds the same silver sovereign and uses it to get his golden ticket.
Thank you for pointing that out. I’ve only watched Wonka once, but I grew up watching Willy Wonka on VHS; totally missed that reference. Good eye on your part!
Idk why this brings tears of joy to my eyes…maybe because, as a child of the 70s, I have such fond memories of this movie…and the new Wonka so honors the original in its own unique way. Thanks, Gene and Timothee… ❤ Thank you to the individual who fused these two and published this! ❤
Now I'm imagining a passage with Gene Wilder's Wonka observing his factory as if remembering his early days in the business, singing the last verse with nostalgia.
This is how you revive a legacy character. Unlike Will Smith and Genie, Timothee put his ego aside (or the directors didn’t ego-cast) and became Wonka. He and Gene are still very different interpretations, but the spirit of the character is the same
Gene Wilder gives the more eerie vibe of his version to his version of ‘Willy Wonka’, so did Johnny Depp while, Timothée Chalamet is happy, kind, and caring of his version of ‘Willy Wonka’. Timothée is just playing as the young Wonka before his trauma started to show, in ‘Charlie & The Chocolate Factory’. This was truly a beautiful way to end the story ‘Wonka’. Wonka will always be one of my favourite movies as hoe beautifully written it is. How this song warms my heart when Wonka was looking at Noodle with a small smile when she walked toward her mother. Even those small details mean a-lot. So does the bright colours in this movie. The dude who made this movie come to life I want to just give a big hug rn. This movie is just like out of a child’s fantasy, a dream. Thank you, cast of ‘Wonka’ and Timothée Chalamet ❤🍫✨
I always thought Gene Wilder's line 'You can change the world... there's nothing to it' had an ellipsis there, inferring he wished that there WAS more to it, but, regrettably, there wasn't. This, to me, is evident in him virtually speaking that second clause under his breath.
Love both versions of this song..... I grew up with Gene, but absolutely love Timmy's version as well.... it brings new life to the song and I feel that Tim was able to keep the same childlike wonder that was intended for the song..... haven't watched Wonka yet, but this gives me high hopes for Timmy's performance
My mom really wanted to see the new wonka movie with me:) I’m very glad she suggested it. Absolutely enjoyed watching it with her and laughing. Good memory
Brilliant! SO beautifully put together. I'm sure this kind of "collab" if you will, has been done before. But this is my introduction to it. Inspiring.
This BLEND of these two wonderful "Wonkas" is truly fantastic!!! Loved them both!! Of course,.....there will NEVER be another Gene Wilder!! But Timothee Chalamet did do his memory justice!! Great Job!!! Can't wait to see the movie!!🤩🤩🤩🤩
I bet with all my soul. He would of truly loved that movie. I think of it as a tribute to him, the love the director put into every scene really put me into the Gene's willy wonka feel when I first saw it as a kid. I don't think any of them should get a bad rap or compare when all of them had a different view
Honestly the only thing the movie was missing was a small 'In Memory of Gene Wilder' at the very end. I would say the movie was way better than I expected, but it's not really surprising given that it's the same director as the Paddington movies.
Timothee deserves at least two movies..his energy was amazing the first time I saw it, imagine seeing all three wonkas on screen.that would’ve been wild🤣
I was very sceptical about Timothée at first, but I thought for what he had to accomplish for this particular film he did a pretty good job (especially since both Gene and Johnny weren't technically the protagonists of their respective movies). I wouldn't mind seeing a trilogy tbh, with the third being a new take on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, as I don't really feel the new movie is SPECIFICALLY a prequel to the original, it very much feels like it's own thing.
As a magician I firmly create the willful suspension of disbelief. This is without fail the epic truth of the imagination being part of creation, however what you see, will defy explanation. SO true.
I remember watching the original in a psych ward. Majorly depressed and in a state of psychosis while suffering from withdrawl. I'd been a major alcoholic and was going nowhere fast. This song, especially "if you want to view paradise" was essentially the moment where i swore that i would get out of this misery and never be in that position again. 2 years later, and I'm clean without even a sip. I'm glad i went down the route that needn't an explanation. Want to change the world? Theres nothing to it 😊
I believe Gene Wilder is smiling in the world of pure imagination. 😊 I also believe he also smiled while watching the filming of the movie from the world of pure imagination. 🎦 🎥 🍿 😊
I love this song, very well done a wonderful tribute to Gene Wilder it is a beautiful song that brings back my childhood. Thank you for creating this. Gene Wilder and Timothée Chalamet's movies are perfect and should never again try to be replicated like the poor 2005 Johnny Depp version, he took a bad approach to portraying our beloved movie character.
'Replicated' my ass, the 2005 movie was put in the pipeline by Dahl's wife and daughter to be more accurate to the book, and they approved of the finished product wholeheartedly. Dahl HATED Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory because Quaker sold his vision out to advertise their candy line. Oh sure they told people Dahl wrote the script but he most certainly did not. Depp's take gets a bad rap and it is entirely unwarranted.
I was so hoping someone has done this. THIS sort of remix needed to be on the official soundtrack and would have been very welcomed in the end credits.
One of the best remakes ever... This hit hard. So close to the originial and the new songs omg well done everyone involved. You did wonka proud with this - and you didnt shit on Gene, you made him smile i am sure x
This is why I liked the original film and the current one. Pure Imagination was a good song. Glad they brought it back. Thanks to anyone who reads this.
Gene Wilder The legend The other people The other voice actors in the future and the past we want to meet up always active for Willy wonka Gene Wilder fuck all of you!
Gene wilder never wanted a continuation of Wonka. He was adamant about it. Its a classic piece of cinema, one a huge part of all of our childhoods and that is impossible to replicate. Or so i thought. When Wonka was annouced i furious (dumb, i know but im passionate) and refused to watch it. Finally see it on max. Needless to say i was moved. There are now two wonka's: gene and Timothy's. Another classic
It hurts like hell to be at the age when the people you grew up watching in your childhood and loving as if they were your own family are more and more becoming memories passed away.
What a great marriage of these two. I never saw nor do I plan to see Depp's Wonka. As HOW can you improve that which was perfect to start with. However, this new Wonka I was very interested in. It was a prequel... not a remake. So, off we went to see it. HOW fantastic was it. I could totally see Tim's Wonka being a young Gene Wilder's Wonka. At the end of the movie, I was so sad, happy, but, sad....lol... I didn't want it to be over. Tim did an amazing job. Think Gene would have been praising this movie. And then this video... with both versions of this song... thank YOU!!! Awesome!
I actually grew up on Depp's Wonka surprisingly, and while I don't think it's better than Gene Wilder's version, there are quite a few things that movie does do a lot better, especially in regards to adapting from the source material. I'd give it a try if you've never seen it.
