In our second episode of the season, we discuss Neil's superb, recently published book Music Films: Documentaries, Concert Films and Other Cinematic Representations of Popular Music. We explore their significance, evolution, and the complexities surrounding their creation and reception, along with Neil's reflections on the challenges of writing for diverse audiences and the expectations of music fans. The conversation touches on the validity of music films in modern culture, the messiness of the genre, and the importance of representation, particularly regarding black artists and women in music. They also examine the ethical implications of music documentaries and the power dynamics at play in the portrayal of artists. Neil's book is so comprehensive we couldn't cover everything but some of the films under discussion include Don't Look Back (dir. D. A. Pennebaker, 1967), Lonely Boy (dir. Roman Kroitor and Wolf Koenig, 1962), Whatstaxx (dir. Mel Stuart), The Punk Singer (dir. Kathleen Hanna), In Bed with Madonna (dir. Alek Keshishian, 1991), The Last Angel of History (dir.

Hey there, Fellow Watchers! This week on Born to Watch, we dive deep into one of the most whimsical, enchanting, and downright bizarre films of the 1970s, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. This technicolour dreamscape of a movie, adapted from Roald Dahl's beloved 1964 children's novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, is a kaleidoscopic journey that weaves together childlike wonder, satirical wit, and a dash of dark humour. But for those who've seen it, it's much more than just a kids' movie—it's a cinematic experience that has left a lasting impact on pop culture, filmmaking, and how we imagine the wildest corners of our childhood fantasies.Directed by Mel Stuart and released in 1971, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory gave the world an enduring yet enigmatic character brought to life by the genius of Gene Wilder. Wilder's portrayal of Willy Wonka, with his trademark purple velvet coat, manic energy, and mysterious charm, is iconic. But the film isn't just about a quirky candy maker—it's about dreams, consequences, and the weird journey from innocence to maturity. Today, we're cracking open that golden ticket and exploring the layers of storytelling, visual splendour, and character depth that make this film a must-watch for every generation.The Dreamlike Cinematography: A Visual FeastFrom the first frame, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory draws us into a world between the fantastical and the surreal. The film's cinematography, spearheaded by Arthur Ibbetson, feels deliberately disjointed from reality. The factory is where anything is possible—giant gummy bears, rivers of chocolate, and wallpaper you can lick. Using vibrant colours, practical effects, and innovative set design turns the film into a visual explosion still captivating more than 50 years later.One of the most stunning sequences comes early when the lucky ticket winners first step into Wonka's factory and are greeted by the Chocolate Room. The juxtaposition of the drab, muted tones of the outside world with the bursting, hyper-saturated colours inside the factory immediately transports us to a place where the ordinary laws of reality no longer apply. Every detail in this scene—from the candy trees to the chocolate river—feels like it was ripped straight from the wildest corners of a child's imagination. Yet, it's executed with a precision that keeps it from feeling cartoonish.And who could forget the unsettling tunnel scene? What starts as a gentle boat ride turns into a psychedelic nightmare. The flashing colours, dizzying camera angles, and unsettling imagery—coupled with Wilder's chilling recitation—make even the bravest viewers squirm. It's a perfect example of how the film balances whimsy with moments of genuine unease. This technique makes Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory much more layered than your children's film.Gene Wilder's Wonka: A Performance for the AgesWhen it comes to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, it's impossible to talk about the movie without spending time on Gene Wilder's portrayal of Willy Wonka. Wilder brings an incredible depth to the character, making him charming yet aloof, kind yet mischievous, and ultimately unpredictable. His entrance alone, stumbling through his factory gates with a cane only to somersault forward and rise with a grin, tells you everything you need to know: this man thrives on deception, mystery, and the thrill of keeping everyone guessing.Wilder's Wonka is not the traditionally heroic figure you might expect from a film aimed at children. There's something slightly off about him. He watches as the children fall victim to their vices—gluttony, greed, or pride—and while he expresses concern, there's always a twinkle in his eye. He's a trickster, just as likely to reward you as he is to teach you a hard lesson. And Wilder walks this tightrope perfectly, making Wonka endlessly watchable and infinitely complex.The film never shies away from showing us the darker side of Wonka's character. There's a controlled chaos to him, an edge that suggests he's more dangerous than he seems. Whether it's how he dismisses Augustus Gloop's drowning in the chocolate river or his cryptic “Good day, sir!” outburst toward Charlie, Wonka keeps the audience on edge. This unpredictability is what makes him such a memorable figure in cinema history.The Story: A Morality Play in Candy-Coated WrappingAt its core, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a morality tale. Each of the children who wins a golden ticket represents a different vice—gluttony, greed, pride, and sloth. As they progress through the factory, they're confronted with temptations that ultimately lead to their downfall. Augustus Gloop's gluttony gets him sucked into the chocolate river, Veruca Salt's greed leads her down the garbage chute, and so on. Each "punishment" is delivered in a way that's both comical and, at times, chilling.What makes the film unique is how it balances this moralism with its fantastical elements. The consequences are clear, yet they're wrapped in a layer of surreal, candy-coated absurdity. The film isn't heavy-handed with its messaging, but it's impossible to miss the fact that each child's fate is a direct result of their own behaviour.Charlie Bucket, our humble hero, is the film's moral compass. Raised in poverty but rich in spirit, Charlie's simple goodness and humility starkly contrast to the other children's greed and entitlement. In the end, it's his genuine heart and good nature that earn him the ultimate prize—the entire factory. But even here, the film doesn't indulge in a sentimental ending. The lesson isn't that good behaviour always leads to material rewards but that integrity, humility, and kindness matter most, even in a world that can often seem unfair.Cultural Impact and LegacyThough Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory wasn't an immediate box-office hit, it found a second life through television reruns and home video, becoming a beloved classic for generations. Its impact on pop culture is undeniable—whether it's the Oompa Loompa songs, the countless memes, or Gene Wilder's iconic portrayal of Wonka. The film is often referenced in everything from cartoons to music videos, and its place in cinema history as one of the great fantasy films is well-earned.It's also fascinating to note how the film's themes of greed, entitlement, and the dangers of unchecked consumption still resonate today. The factory, with its promise of endless indulgence, reflects our own desires, reminding us that too much of a good thing can often lead to our downfall.In the end, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a film that transcends its whimsical surface to explore deeper themes, all while offering a visual feast and a performance by Gene Wilder that remains timeless. Whether you're watching it for the first time or the hundredth, there's always something new to discover.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcasthttps://www.borntowatch.com.au/

Il film di questa puntata, La fabbrica di cioccolato, ha come interprete principale Johnny Depp ed è tratto dall'omonimo romanzo di Roald Dahl. Dal libro era stato precedentemente tratto un altro adattamento nel 1971, Willy Wonka e la fabbrica di cioccolato, di Mel Stuart, con Gene Wilder, al quale, però, Burton ha detto di non essersi ispirato per il suo, cercando invece di tornare allo spirito originale del romanzo di Dahl. Nel 2004, durante le interviste sul set durante le riprese, Tim Burton ha definito "sdolcinato" il film del 1971 Willy Wonka e la fabbrica di cioccolato, aggiungendo: "Molte persone sono grandi fan del film e lo tengono in soggezione. Io non ero uno di loro". Johnny Depp ha reso omaggio a Gene Wilder, che ha interpretato Willy Wonka nel primo adattamento. Depp considerava la performance di Wilder "brillante ma sottile". Ha detto di aver avuto "Scarpe grandi [da riempire], però. Gene Wilder ha fatto un lavoro fantastico in quel film nei primi anni Settanta".

The RSA gang is back with an extra podcast this week! This time the gang visits one of the most classic movies of all time, and one of Gene Wilder's best films, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! A sweet boy from a poor family dreams of finding one of five golden tickets hidden inside chocolate bar wrappers which will admit him to the eccentric and reclusive Willy Wonka's magical factory. One after another, tickets are discovered by ghastly children - but will the lad find the last remaining one and have all his dreams come true? Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is a 1971 American musical fantasy film directed by Mel Stuart from a screenplay by Roald Dahl, based on his 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It stars Gene Wilder as candymaker Willy Wonka. The film tells the story of a poor child named Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum) who, upon finding a Golden Ticket in a chocolate bar, wins the chance to visit Willy Wonka's chocolate factory along with four other children from around the world. Filming took place in Munich from August to November 1970. Dahl was credited with writing the film's screenplay; however, David Seltzer was brought in to do an uncredited rewrite. Against Dahl's wishes, changes were made to the story, and other decisions made by the director led Dahl to disown the film. The musical numbers were written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley while Walter Scharf arranged and conducted the orchestral score. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory was released in the United States on June 30, 1971, by Paramount Pictures. With a budget of $3 million, the film received generally positive reviews from critics, but was not a big financial success, only earning $4 million by the end of its original run. It received a nomination for Best Original Score at the 44th Academy Awards and Wilder was nominated for Best Performance in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical at the 29th Golden Globe Awards. The film also introduced the song "The Candy Man", which went on to be recorded by Sammy Davis Jr. and become a popular hit. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory has since become highly popular on repeated television airings and home video sales. In 2014, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.

If Wonka doesn't taste quite as magical as you'd hoped there's a good reason. Mel Stuart's 1971 uber-classic Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory has rightfully taken its place as one of the most beloved films of all-time, whereas writer/director Paul King has managed to craft not one, but two Paddington films many now consider among the best of their generation.
An episode of pure imagination….On this one, we're comparing the three Wonkas. Mel Stuart's “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” (1971) vs. Tim Burton's “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (2005) vs. Paul King's “Wonka” (2023). Which one wins? Let's find out!

« Heureux gagnant de ce ticket d'or, Mr Willy Wonka te salue ! »Victoire, Pascale et Marianne comparent le roman de Roald Dahl, Charlie et la Chocolaterie, à son adaptation en film réalisée par Tim Burton avec Johnny Depp et Freddie Highmore. Tous les jours, Charlie Bucket passe devant la mystérieuse chocolaterie Wonka, qui produit les plus merveilleuses confiseries du monde. Pour ce petit garçon qui vit dans la pauvreté avec ses parents et ses grands-parents, quelle torture de sentir les délicieux effluves qui s'en échappent ! Mais quand Willy Wonka décide d'ouvrir les portes de sa chocolaterie à cinq enfants en cachant des tickets d'or dans ses tablettes de chocolat, la chance va peut-être enfin sourire aux Bucket...Le film de Tim Burton est-il fidèle au roman dont il est tiré ? Réponse dans l'épisode !2 min 04 : On commence par parler du roman Charlie et la Chocolaterie de Roald Dahl, paru en 1964.33 min 28 : On enchaîne sur l'adaptation en film sortie en 2005 et réalisée par Tim Burton avec Johnny Depp, Freddie Highmore et Christopher Lee.1 h 38 min 47 : On termine sur nos recommandations autour des films de Tim Burton et des adaptations de Roald Dahl.Avez-vous lu ou vu Charlie et la Chocolaterie ?
Paul King, the director of Paddington and Paddington 2, brings us Wonka, another reimagining of a British children's classic. Roald Dahl's beloved 1964 novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, has been adapted twice: once in 2005 by Tim Burton, but most memorably in 1971 by Mel Stuart, with Gene Wilder as eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka. It's from the 1971 version that Wonka takes some of its cues (including musical ones), but in the service of that most 21st-century of cinematic artefacts: an origin story. Within, discussions of: What we make of the world in which Wonka is set, one in which institutions purportedly in place for the public good are instead supportive only of corporate power; the reinterpretation of the Oompa-Loompas as a wronged people whose representative is out to retrieve what was stolen from them; Mike's dissatisfaction with CGI and visual effects in British films and the production of the vocals in Wonka's songs; José's opinion on Timothée Chalamet's career and (apparently) uneven face; whether this film really benefits from its sentimental backstory and overtones; and how chocolate is best enjoyed. Recorded on 11th December 2023.

This Friday marks the release of “Wonka,” a musical starring Timothée Chalamet that tells the origin story of beloved candy maker Willy Wonka. To celebrate, we're dipping into the Radio Cherry Bombe vault for our interview with the woman who inspired the original “Willy Wonka” film, Madeline Stuart. Young Madeline loved “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” so much, she suggested to her dad that the Roald Dahl classic children's book would make a great movie. Fortunately, for legions of “Willy Wonka” fans, Madeline's dad was director and documentarian Mel Stuart. He gave his daughter $50 for the idea and the rest is Hollywood history. Madeline joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the story behind the movie, what it was like on set in Munich, the Quaker Oats connection, her father's relationship with Dahl, the casting of Gene Wilder (over the stars of “Monty Python” and others), and more. They also talk about Madeline's career as a celebrated interior designer and her book, “No Place Like Home: Interiors by Madeline Stuart.”Thank you to OpenTable, Alex Mill, and Reform for supporting our show.Hosted by Kerry DiamondProduced by Catherine Baker and Jenna SadhuEdited by Jenna SadhuEditorial Assistant Londyn CrenshawMusic by Tralala, “All Fired Up”Radio Cherry Bombe is a production of The Cherry Bombe Podcast Network.

It's Popzara's Movie Time! Podcast!, where our own movie nerds Ethan Brehm and Nate Evans take you on an unscripted journey yakking and chatting about some of their favorite movie moments and cinematic scenes, from past and present, presented without snark and snobbery for your listening pleasure. On this scrumdiddlyumptious episode our hosts unwrap 1971's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the flavory-savory cinematic adaptation of Roald Dahl's 1964 novel. Directed by Mel Stuart and starring Gene Wilder in perhaps his most iconic (and deranged) role, it's since become one of the most beloved films of all-time. Our hosts discuss how the right combination of director, star, music, and pathos helped create a timeless classic that's endured for generations. Also on the lickswishy menu are comparisons to Tim Burton's inferior 2005 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the recent "revision controversy" of Dahl's literary work, the film's surprising number of Nazi allusions, and so much more. It's one Everlasting Gobstopper that never stops giving its sugary goodness, your golden ticket to pure imagination you don't want to miss!

Oh boy, Oompa-Loompas. How they came to the title change for the movie vs. the book. Stuart attempts to make obscure jokes that no one gets. 47:21 Casting the Wonka movie. Wilder had the "sardonic, demonic edge" Stuart was looking for lol.

Dahl's childhood chocolatier dreams. 58:38 The pre-production of the movie. Movie filmed in Germany. The horrifying details on what the chocolate river was made of and the foam from the Wonka car wash. Costumes, purposeful hair burning, and quirky set design. 1:08:14 In Elaine's kid book, we finally start to discuss Willy Wonka! Dahl has a history of writing characters who are nefarious and slightly unhinged. 1:18:00 Prequel Predictions. Felicia: They'll incorporate the evil Mrs. Pratchett/The Great Mouse Plot into the prequel. Elaine: Intro of Wonka will be Timmy Wonka walking down the street and little kids running up to him with reviews of the candies he gave them (and all of them have side effects lol).

Young Madeline Stuart loved Charlie and the Chocolate Factory so much, she suggested to her dad that the Roald Dahl classic children's book would make a great movie. Fortunately, for the legions of Willy Wonka fans, Madeline's dad was director and documentarian Mel Stuart… and the rest is Hollywood history. Madeline's dad gave her $50 for the idea and the Stuart family would eventually move to Munich for the making of the movie. Madeline joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about the story behind the movie, the Quaker Oats connection, her father's relationship with Dahl, the casting of Gene Wilder, and more. They also talk about Madeline's career as a celebrated interior designer and her book, No Place Like Home: Interiors by Madeline Stuart.

At long last, we are delivering on our promise to rip into Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964) and the two film adaptations molded by it (1971, dir Mel Stuart & 2005, dir Tim Burton). But there's just too much confectionary conversation not to share it with friends, so we invited Megan Steen and returning guest Dug Steen* to join us! This episode represents our first repeated author, as well as our first two time Snuffy Walden winner! Listen in as we confer about cgi chocolate, weigh in on Wonka wackiness, and parley about which parts would be present in the perfect motion picture version. *Dug didn't realize he was invited and didn't read the book. Thankfully, he was a good sport and joined us anyway.
Based on a booked by Roald Dahl. Directed by Mel Stuart and starring Gene Wilder, Jack Albertson, Peter Ostrum, Julie Dawn Cole and Roy Kinnear.
On this week's annotated deep dive, The Cultists present Mel Stuart's 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' (1971). Considered a flop during its initial release, ‘Wonka' has grown overtime into a beloved classic of psychedelic sadomasochism of the childhood nostalgia variety. Ostensibly the tale of a poor, starving child with nightly dreams of confectionary sweets, and an eccentric chocolatier who is primed to hand pick his heir through a very specific form of death-and-occasional-dismemberment natural selection, this movie is a trip. One that, in the words of Wonka himself, showcases how life must maintain that perfect balance of fear, anxiety, and whimsey to keep moving forward. (Even if that final destination is already pre-ordained by The Chocolate God himself). Episode Deep Dives Include: The writing of Roald Dahl (from his childhood hits to his lesser known screenwriting creds in the James Bond franchise); comparison's between Charlie and the Chocolate factory, the book, and Willy Wonka, the movie; All the literary quotes and references sprinkled throughout the script; The psychedelic movement in cinema (and whether ‘Wonka' truly qualifies); and why this entire production was principally possible due to the capitalist-venturing sweet tooth of the Quaker Oats Company…. Episode Safeword: “free will”
It's the longest Golden Talkies episode ever this week as we watch Mel Stuart's 1971 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, adapted from Roald Dahl's 1964 novel Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. We also watch the 2005 Tim Burton reboot and welcome a very special guest onto the poddy.
Take a trip with us down the horrifying boat tunnel as we discuss Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, directed by Mel Stuart in 1972 and adapted from the novel by Roald Dahl. We dive into the chocolate river to talk about the sinful nature of children, the confusing rules of the film's contest, and we make sure to completely ruin Oompa Loompas for you as well.

Actor/Director/Writer, Peter Gardner returns to the podcast to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1971 Mel Stuart film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, which while technically not a musical, it boasts such classic songs as "Pure Imagination", "Candy Man", and the Oompa Loompa songs. All of these songs were written by Leslie Bricusse, who has also penned so many other memorable film songs like "Goldfinger", "Thank You Very Much" from Scrooge, and the Love Theme from Superman (co-written with John Williams). We do a deep dive into both the film and the career of Leslie Bricusse, and Peter also shares his childhood connection to both the film and the marketing blitz that came with it.

Crooked Table Podcast - The world of film from a fresh angle
In this week's episode, Rob welcomes Will Ashton, co-host of Cinemaholics, to the show to talk Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Based on the Roald Dahl book, the 1971 musical classic gave Gene Wilder the opportunity to embrace both warmth and mania and, in the process, created a cinematic icon. Not to mention one of the most ubiquitous memes the internet has ever seen. Despite being a box office disappointment, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory has emerged as one of the most celebrated family films ever made. We'll discuss why the Mel Stuart film is a personal favorite of Will's, explore the subtextual allegory at its heart and ponder how family entertainment has changed in the decades since its release. So grab your Golden Ticket, hop in the Wonka-vator and join us in a world of "Pure Imagination, where Oompa-Loompas roam and nightmarish children face a dark and ominous fate. Synopsis of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory: A sweet boy from a poor family dreams of finding one of five golden tickets hidden inside chocolate bar wrappers which will admit him to the eccentric and reclusive Willy Wonka's magical factory. One after another, tickets are discovered by ghastly children - but will the lad find the last remaining one and have all his dreams come true?

As we always say, we always find an excuse to Rewind & Review. The Roald Dahl novel “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (1964) celebrates its 55th anniversary this year. So here we are talking about the film adaptation – Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Directed by Mel Stuart, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory tells the story of Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum) as he finds a Golden Ticket and visits Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory with four other children from around the world. Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) is an eccentric and mysterious recluse who resides in his factory in order to keep his Wonka branded recipes a secret. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is a family fantasy comedy film with musical numbers throughout. We’ve all seen this mouth watering classic – but how does it hold up almost 50 years later?
The boys gather to discuss Mel Stuart's 1971 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Tim Burton's 2005 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Welcome to another edition of your favorite film analysis podcast, the GoodTrash GenreCast. On this week's episode, we take a look at the world's longest commercial, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. In a surprising turn of events, Dustin somehow never watched Willy Wonka in his youth. Does the film hit the sweet spot? Or, will this much candy give us a stomach ache? A Tour of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory The cult classic, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, is a black comedy for the ages. Directed by Mel Stuart, this fantasy/musical sees Charlie Bucket, and four others, win golden tickets. These special tickets grant them the privilege of visiting the mysterious Wonka chocolate factory. Once inside, the children and their guests soon learn Willy Wonka is much more than simply eccentric. We're making an effort here at GoodTrash to diversify, not only in the directors that we choose, but also the age of the films we choose. We admit we like to get stuck in the 90s and 2000s, so we're going to try and reach farther back occasionally. On this week's show, we Recast Willy Wonka in an effort to erase the Johnny Depp debacle. We then movie into our analysis of Willy Wonka. We talk racism, colonialism, capitalism and many more -isms. So, grab your everlasting gobstoppers, and dive in to the chocolate river with us! GET IN TOUCH Thanks for joining us this week!

A world of pure imagination. That's what we're promised by Mel Stuart's Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971), and boy, does it ever deliver. This adaptation of Roald Dahl's sweet satire is full to the brim with novelties and notions, some whimsical, some bittersweet.

Aired: 7/21/13 This week we'll spend the hour with RAFE ESQUITH, who's been teaching fifth graders in LA's Hobart Elementary public school for nearly thirty years. Now a teacher of teachers, he recently returned from doing that in China. I first learned of Rafe's work in 2005, when POV the PBS film series pitched me a documentary, THE HOBART SHAKESPEARIANS, about the full Shakespeare productions that his students - most from families where English is not the primary language - perform each year. The film was directed by MEL STUART, a wonderful director of at least two landmark films - the 1971 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory with Gene Wilder and 1973's WATTSTAX concert film of funky music and Black Power. Mel Stuart passed away a little less than a year ago. And he is missed. In September 2005, introducing my interview with Rafe and Mel about the film , I said this: Documentaries may be giving us what we hunger for. March of the Penguins, Mad Hot Ballroom and The Hobart Shakespeareans are documentaries about goodness, dedication, and purpose, and whether penguins or fifth graders, they're about respect and treating others well. Each of these films made me giggle, and each brought me to tears. There's something joyfully and painfully touching when we see the life force in action with purpose. When so much is going wrong, from Iraq to New Orleans, I think we need to see these things. Eight years later, Rafe Esquith continues to leads fifth graders at one of the nation's largest inner-city grade schools through an uncompromising curriculum of English, mathematics, geography and literature. His classroom mottos are "Be nice. Work hard." and "There are no shortcuts." Despite language barriers and poverty, many attend outstanding colleges. Esquith expects the best from these kids no matter what their backgrounds, and he backs up that expectation by giving them the educational resources to defy the odds.
