Can't help but feel for Violet. She's a trophy daugther. A mean for the mother to try and live her own dreams through. Granted, she became quite ambitious because of it, but I still can't help but feel bad for the little girl that held a baton before she could walk.
Richeetah That would be what's fair, but Violet was the one who chewed the gum. But the whole time her mother was egging her on, and after Violet became a blueberry she didn't seem to care about Violet, she was more concerned about her competing. I'd like to see the look on her face if she became a blueberry, I bet she'd explode with rage.
Richeetah Yeah, after the movie I think all the kids parents would have sued him. In the original I don't think they could do anything, because they signed that contract. That didn't happen here.. If I was Miss Beauregarde, and my daughter became a blueberry I'd be suing, suing all day long. But if she was a blueberry (or if she exploded) I don't know how she'd sue.
That cracked me up, seriously that mom getting mad all because they tell the truth. That's two parents who get mad when people call them out for their bad parenting skills. Bad kids aren't born they're made
That's true, one thing great about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was how symbolic it was, both films and book, it demonstrates various issues that kids develop and how if their parents don't do something about it, then their kid will end up in a bad place. Kind of makes you wonder what this meant for Henry Salt though, I mean no other parent shared a punishment with their kid, so why was it just him?
Everyone's talking about Veruca's "savageness" while i'm just sitting here, watching 30 Deep Roys on my screen thinking: "Boy, I hope he was paid well." I mean, the guy had to learn ALL the choreography, and had to play nearly every oompa loompa. (Some were digital, some were animatronics) So tops to him !
Forget acting for two; here's one actor playing a hundred men. And until now the most memorable Deep Roy role I'd seen was on Doctor Who, in a Fourth Doctor story where he plays what is basically Chucky's 120-greats grandson gone back in time to the 1890's,
This Song Along with the other three songs from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are complete masterpieces! Danny Elfman should have gotten an award for making such an awesome soundtrack.
Violet and her mum are so freakishly competitive, they want to win at all costs. How funny an exchange would this be: Willy Wonka: Roll her to the juicing room. Mrs. Beuragaurd: Okay, but after my daughter gets juiced we still win your factory right? Willy Wonka: Of course not. Your daughter was eliminated. She loses. You don't win. Mrs. Beuragaurd: You mean we LOSE? We can't lose! You promised me that if I slept with you - Willy Wonka (interrupting): Thank you, come again!
I always like seeing their faces when the kids are getting their just desserts. Their expressions (especially during this scene and Veruca's) are really believable.
Things to mention: 1. The crap? Does Mrs. Beauregard NOT care for her daughter? She honestly only cares about competition!!! 2. Ok Violet, if Mr. Wonka, the person who created the GUM, says to not chew at it and spit it out, you PROBABLY should!!! 3. The amazing music at the start of the song.
The Oompa-Loompas cannot say what they think of Mrs. Beauregard, because there are children present. Oh, and it seems that in abridging the song from the book, they cut out the transition to the sad tale of Miss Bigelow, the compulsive chewer alluded to in the song.
God the choreography and music in this movie was just delightfully wonderful. It's crazy that every oompa loompa is just played by a single guy...amazing what we can do with computers.
I love Jonny Depp in this movie; "I've tried it on like 20 oompa loompas and each one ended up as a blue berry, heh. It's just weird!" XD oh Willy Wonka....
I am anonymous however you say it Hi is that a joke? its a tim burton movie after all. of course its gonna have johnny in it and he’ll be the spotlight no matter how small of part he gets in the movie.
Not gonna lie- This and Veruca's "eliminations" were always the most horrifying to me, but hearing Violet screaming for help and for them to stop or- whatever- made this ten times more horrifying But I don't exactly care 'cause the music is a bop. Guess Ima vibe with Wonka.
A girl ate a experimental chewing gum and turns into a giant blueberry. What do you do? A) Eat her B) Get her to a juicing room to squeeze her out C) Sing a song
Jacob Nova And blueberry inflation stories. I can testify to that. I was even requested to write one. In the end, I did it, but it's really not that good.
Willy Wonka was able to create a chewable poison that changed your genetic and physical composition to match that of a blueberry. Her insides swelled so big that her spine probably got stretched as well, which would have ruptured her intestines or stabbed her lungs. Do you realize that she technically turned into a giant blueberry and Wonka couldn't find a way to reverse it? She should be dead, if not from shock then from having all of her organs morph into massive seeds. I know it's fake, but to actually think about it, none of those kids should've survived and this movie is dark AF.
I think Violet and Mike are the two that ended up with the worse punishments compared to Veruca and Augustus. When you look at Violet she turns out in the end blue and flexible, Mike is stretched tall and thin, while Veruca just needs a bath to be normal same with Augustus heck he probably lick himself clean since he loves chocolate so much and ends up coming out covered in it. I think the songs for Violet and Veruca are my favorite in the end though and also in the end they all got what they deserve but it doesn't seem to bother them much except maybe Veruca a little.
Well, Willy did say that like 20 Oompa Loompas had turned into blueberries as well. I'd Imagine they'd be a bit smaller mind you, but the effect would be the same.
According to one FanFiction story, not only were the Oompa Loompas' songs all planned out, but Mr. Wonka installed the gum machine just one day after Violet found her golden ticket. Hence, the unspoken answer to Mike Teavee's question, "If you hate gum so much, then why do you make it?"
iammighty1 I believe it's one of those "Trial of the Century" stories, where Wonka is accused of attempted murder based on what happened to the kids in his factory.
Yeah, yeah Listen close, and listen hard To the tale of Violet Beauregarde. The gentle girl she sees no wrong In chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing Chewing, chewing all day long Chewing, chewing all day long Chewing, chewing all day long Chewing, chewing all day long Yeah She goes on chewing till at last Her chewing muscles grow so vast And from her face her giant chin Sticks out just like a violin Chewing, chewing all day long Chewing, chewing all day long Chewing, chewing all day long For years and years she chews away Her jaws get stronger every day And with one great tremendous chew They bite the poor girl's tongue in two And that is why we try so hard To save Miss Violet Beauregarde Chewing, chewing all day long Chewing, chewing all day long Chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing Chewing, chewing all day long (Chewing, chewing all day long) (Chewing, chewing all day long) (Chewing, chewing all day long) (Chewing, chewing all day long) (Chewing, chewing all day long) (Chewing, chewing all day long)
TJLANE88 It was in music we watched both versions. Now we're watching High School Musical. (Or whatever its called) because we only have like 5 more days left.
Cynthia Goodrich Your watching High school musical? I'm sorry and I feel bad for you. (If you don't have earplugs, cover your ears and good luck!) There's 3 movies of Willy Wonka by the way.
Jean Carlos Cinemaniacojean I know. My point was that this newer version, while frequently hated on, is actually closer to the book because of the family's influence.
Listen close, and listen hard, the tale of Violet Beauregarde. The dreadful girl she sees no wrong... Chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing all day long. Chewing, chewing all day long. Chewing, chewing all day long. Chewing, chewing all day long. She goes on chewing till at last, her chewing muscles grow so fast. And from her face her giant chin, sticks out just like a violin... -Chourus- For years and years she chews away, her jaws get stronger every day. And with one great tremendous chew...they bite the poor girl's toungue in two. And that is why we try so hard, to save Miss Violet Beauregarde. -Chorus-
no wonder figure out that part of the song. i always thought they say “this gentle girl she sees this world chewing chewing chewing all day long” dreadful makes more since
This version of Violet's blueberry inflation looks a whole lot better than the 1971 version. Still, to some degree, the scene could've done better if the inflation would've stopped after expanding her as wide as she was tall. I honestly think that if Violet Beareguarde was more of a model it would have enhanced the demise a little better. Her mother would be mortified and Violet would be in shock over what's happening to her ideal body weight, more so after she'd get juiced. Imagine carrying around extra weight in juice, rather than excess fat.
"And that is why we try so hard To save Miss Violet Beauregarde" I wonder if what's the "we" they are referring to, just some random thought, like is it referring to parents of kids who chew gum too much or literally them trying to save the girl
no. they were “friends” until violet’s mom said “my daughter is gonna be the first girl in the world to have a chewing gum meal” that made veruca mad and jealous but then was happy that it went bad for violet.
I just got back after rewatching this movie, and I realized how underrated this movie's soundtrack is. I think this one's one of my personal favorites.
when it comes to the chocolate factory movies my fav scenes are the parts when each kid ends up doing something bad and the oompa loompas sing. the way wonka acts and the others freak out is so funny
Charlie: Grandpa Joe, why won't Violet listen to Mr. Wonka? Grandpa Joe: Because, Charlie, she's a nitwit. Oompa Loompas: Listen close, listen hard To the tale of Violet Beauregarde This gentle girl she sees no wrong, In chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, all day long Goes on chewing to the max, Her chewing muscles grow so fast, With one great tremendous chew, Turned blue just like a violet! To parents everywhere: Teach your children good manners and they will go far. And remember, ladies and gentlemen, there's always more to life than winning. A concerned message from Wonka Factory.
I feel like even the parts of the song where their dancing is slightly different just makes the film feel even more real and have an even greater feel to it
Does anyone else think that Violet's, ahem, near demise, was the scariest of all the kids? Mike seemed OK with having shrunk, while Veruca wouldn't suffer any lasting damage and while Augustus was made thin, but Violet was blue for the rest of her life. It's not really the lasting damage though...I think that it's the most fantastical demise, and scares me more because of that. The other kids have things happen that seem more...real, but turning into a blueberry from a stick of gum...scary.
Violet's demise now reminds me of that Blorb illness from Mario and Luigi: Bowser's inside story; of how the Mushroom people turned into fat and plump people only they're not blue. Same goes with Luigi turning fat too from the same game to fight off enemies.
vampire523ful Except she doesn't die in this film. So, I'm pretty sure "demise" isn't the right word. Maybe... endgame. That works. And I've never played Bowser's Inside story. Maybe I should check it out.
in this scene i would totaly made Willy hide behind something and just when violet finish inflate he would have said" excellent nobody exploded this time
in all fairness, she didn't REALLY deserve this. In this version of the movie, it's not like she took the candy without permission or anything. She was given it to eat and only after she started changing did Wonka go "oh yeah, I forgot to mention it ALWAYS does this"
It might just be cause of the effects, but I like this violet's expansion a little better than the original one. This one at least has the round shape of a blueberry.
so... this is what happens to ur mind when u r stuck in a candy factory and don’t see another human for 20 years... have ur tiny workers sing and dance and start dancing along while ur guest thats a child is about to die if they dont do something.
On 0:00 Veruca wants Violet to suffer as a blueberry.. That's like a betrayal as a friend... She doesn't feel bad at all... I hate Veruca's character. That's why She got suffered when the squirrels attack her... But she is really pretty in real life and love her acting... Thx for Veruca's character.. I'll check her actor later...
When Wonka was talking about the hair taffy, Violet looked over at Veruca implying she thought it would be funny if Veruca grew a beard and basically turned ugly. So that's why I think Veruca made the face she did when Violet began swelling.
Ironically how she is the worst character and she had a stupid punishment. she fell down a slide hole (pause) which I'm sure was fun and got covered in garbage and sut
