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/

The world watched Amos and Edda have sex, thanks to a Belgian breaking news balloon, the kind of balloon that floats through the city of Brussels, filled with at least 10 reporters looking for news stories. And part of how they look for news, we guess, is to peep through windows of buildings and film people without their permission. Seems totally cool. But maybe that's just how "European" they are, and we're all a bunch of American yahoos. Whatever the case, the video (or film as Brooke Mac-El-D prefers to call it) becomes a sensation on the internet. But before that, Juliette, Seth, and some lady named Isabel all see the video/film of Amos and Edda fucking on a piano in a rehearsal space, thanks to the peeping reporters on the news balloon that somehow hovered outside their window for the entirety of their tryst. Edda sees the video/film on her laptop, but keeps Amos from viewing it or even knowing about it. So he is pretty confused when they're on the streets of Brussels and everyone they pass, literally everyone, is craning their necks to look at them. And by craning their necks we mean turning their heads literally completely around. The venue is packed, not "standing room only" as one would normally say, but "crammed to the exit signs." Sure. Amos gets nervous, gets the hiccups, and Edda gives him a look that says, "let's fuck," even though he is five minutes from taking the stage. And that's where we end this episode. (Part 2 of 3) The Chickweed strips we discuss this episode: Juliette picks up the satellite broadcast from Brussels, tells Edda about it, and Edda is pleased Isabel has seen it are here (https://twitter.com/9chickweedRAGE/status/1622303250262425600?s=20&t=oPfPgstnxF2LZLAsXti8lQ).

Thank you for downloading from the Hit My Music Feed. Tomorrow, the first regular episode of Hit My Music will be released. But first, as an introduction to me as a podcaster, I present an out of context episode of a Movies by Minutes podcast, episode 88 of Everlasting Minute, which was a deep dive into Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. From the original release: "In minute 88, Mike Teevee is interrupting Willy Wonka, and explains television poorly. Wonka explains how he created Wonkavision…poorly. Also, we realize how much of this scene is lost in translation with today's television technology. Jason explains his version of 4K to David. We briefly discuss video formats, and why formats end up being adopted. Jason makes a Star Trek reference that completely goes over David's head. Wonka gives us another literary quote, and we talk Lewis Carroll's gifts to the literary canon.

Bill spoke to Paris Themmen is an actor best known for his role as Mike Teevee in 1971's family classic film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Themmen was born in Boston in 1959. Themmen appeared in radio and TV commercials, voice-overs and theater performing on Broadway in Mame with Ann Miller in 1967 and in Rothschilds in 1970. In 1971, aged 11, he got his breakthrough role in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as Mike Teevee. Declaring a hiatus from acting at age 14 to "just be a kid," Themmen went on to receive a B.F.A. in theatre from New York University. Smitten with the urge to travel, he founded Access International, a travel service that arranged Europe-bound charter flights for backpackers

In this episode of the Roald Dahl Retrospective, Patricia and Arun discuss about the 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory based on the 1964 book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory starring Peter Ostrum, Jack Albertson, Michael Bollner, Julie Dawn Cole, Denise Nickerson, Paris Themmen, and Gene Wilder. The movie is about a young boy named Charlie Bucket who hears the news about the famous candy maker Willy Wonka leaving 5 golden tickets in his chocolate bars for 5 lucky people to find it. If they win, they are awarded with a lifetime supply of chocolate. He's unsure of winning the prize since his family is very poor and cannot afford to purchase a lot of candy bars for him, but his Grandpa Joe is hopeful that he'll get one. He does alongside 4 other children named Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beaureguarde, and Mike Teevee. When meeting Willy Wonka and entering his chocolate factory, he awaits a crazy adventure filled with candy, pure imagination, and weird concoctions. Will Charlie win the grand prize? What awaits in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory? When the movie premiered in theaters, it was a box office failure making only $4.5 million dollars with a $3 million dollar budget. It received mixed to positive reviews from critics. However, it wouldn't be until almost a decade later when it was released on home video and airing on TV that people would call it a beloved timeless classic. What do Patricia and Arun think of the movie? Listen and find out.

“Story doesn’t start with a 40-page deck. It starts with a founder with a vision.” And yet, there are quite a few 40-page branding decks floating around out there. This week on the podcast I was joined by Ellen Utrecht, a branding, film, and storytelling expert and founder of creative agency MikeTeeVee for a conversation about how brand stories really start. About Ellen Utrecht Ellen Utrecht is an all-round film professional with +25 years of experience in both commercials as well as feature films. She got her training at one of The Netherlands most iconic creative agencies, KesselsKramer, where she was instrumental in delivering impactful commercials for brands like Diesel, Ben (t-mobile), Bavaria beer, 55DSL, and Vitra amongst many others. Ellen has a long track record of innovation in film, pioneering new and groundbreaking production approaches for clients like Philips, Heineken, Lego, DSM, and Denham. Her Dutch training in conceptual storytelling and strong execution led to a successful worldwide career in Sydney, Los Angeles, and Toronto. She is the founder of MikeTeevee which recently successfully launched the Lego The Movie campaign and Midnight Pictures responsible for successful short and feature films such as Eclair, Meeting the Other Women and Bushwack. MikeTeevee was also responsible for the widely shared non-profit anti-gun campaign “Veterans for Gun reform.” Episode Highlights Yes, that Mike TeeVee. Of course, my first question had to be if Ellen had named her shop after the character of the same name in Roald Dahl’s classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Ellen confirmed this with the reminder that the character is addicted to screens and content. That’s certainly relevant to audiences today! Story + brand. We talk about storytelling a lot today but what does it really mean for brands? “Story doesn’t start with a 40-page deck. It starts with a founder with a vision. A brand that stands out in the world today has that one universal truth. That’s where the story lies.” What happens if you lose the universal truth of your brand story? “We go back to the root when we create a brand narrative for clients. This usually comes in the form of a three- to four-minute film.” What brand has made Ellen smile recently? “Supreme. It’s this 20-year old brand that’s completely reinvented itself.” To learn more, go to miketeevee.com.
