Charlie and the Chocolate Factory/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]: "Pure Imagination". Among other things, it was repurposed for an ad for some high-tech product recently...

* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: The tunnel scene, which comes and then is never mentioned again, even though realistically such an event would likely cause the characters to ''demand to be let out of this factory''. Ironically, it's probably the movie's most famous scene.

* [[Ear Worm]]: "Oompa-Loompa-Doopa-de-do, I've got another puzzle for you..."

* [[Genius Bonus]]: After Wonka plays the musical lock, Mrs. TeeVee says "Rachmaninoff" knowledgeably. The joke is that the music is actually from the overture to Mozart's opera "Le nozze di Figaro", a rather obscure reference to non-musicians/opera fans.

* [[Older Than They Think]] / [[Weird Al Effect]]: Many people attribute the literary quotes by Wonka to this film.

* [[Values Dissonance]]: Charlie being upset by Grandpa Joe's vow to quit tobacco.

* [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?]]: Augustus Gloop and the tunnel sequence.

* [[The Woobie]]: A minor example in Mr. Salt. Did he and his wife spoil Veruca? You bet. Are they responsible for her monstrous personality? No doubt. Even knowing this, does the look on his face when she calls him a "rotten mean father" (As though he were about to burst into tears) make you feel legitimately bad for the guy? Absolutely.

 

=== Specifically the 2005 film: ===

* [[Broken Base]]: Better than the original movie? Or is the original still the best? Woe betide the one who voices an opinion on the subject.

* [[Ear Worm]]: Every last song on the soundtrack.

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Mike or Violet. Mike for being an [[Insufferable Genius]] [[Deadpan Snarker]] and Violet for being a [[Little Miss Badass]] [[Badass Adorable|Adorable]], with attitude.

* [[Heartwarming Moments (Sugar Wiki)|Heartwarming Moments]]: Grandpa George, a completely irascible curmudgeon who had virtually nothing good to say about anything, tells Charlie, when he offers to sell the golden ticket in order to support the family, that he would be a fool to sell his dream for something as common and ridiculous as money. Considering how cantankerous and irritable he was to that point, it comes out of nowhere that he is the one who speaks out against selling the ticket, particularly in contrast to his stating that Charlie's one bar a year didn't stand a chance in hell of winning in the first place.

** [[Too Soon]]

** "Oh, and my name is... [[Double Entendre|Willy]]."

** [[Mock the Week|"Discuss the idea that Willy Wonka was a pedophile."]]

* [[Purity Sue]]: Charlie, who's a ''saint'' in comparison to his alternate universe self (who was still a good kid, but flawed like a regular child). He's hardly even given a chance to test his character for the first half of the film, unlike his 1971 self who faces the temptation of both Slugworth's deal and the fizzy lifting drinks.

** This is actually more in line with how he was written in the book. Whether or not staying faithful to the book was a good thing in this case is a definite YMMV situation.
