    I watched wonka the other day. I don’t know, good movie. I haven’t heard anything about it or anyone talk about it. It has that nice surreal look to it, i only read while watching the movie that it’s a musical. I’m kinda glad it’s more movie than musical. It has quite the cast, but timmothée chalamet still stole the show.

        My willy wonka knowledge is close to 0, i didn’t really like both other movies tbh. Whwn i heard there is a new one i really didn’t care for it at all. Now i kinda want more, but i’m not sure if the height of his success would be very interesting. I think they only ever talked about it. All we know (i think) is that he really wants nothing else but making chocolate, and chocolate for everyone, and he doesn’t care about the bottom line. In the other movies he’s a loner and only hangs out with oompa loompas vecause he doesn’t trust people (i think). So the in between would be the betrayal or why he’s choosing to be a shut in weirdo.
        Now thinking about it, wonka isn’t really a prequel, it’s a different story, because in the last one his father was a dentist or something who didn’t want him to chase his dreams.

      I had fun with Wonka even if I didn’t like it overall. It would have been better if Wonka had been killing people the whole time and wouldn’t even be out of character. He’s basically an insane chocolate wizard, wish they’d have leaned into that just a little more.

        I mean, he was really nice and loved people. All he cared about is chocolate and the friends he barely knew. Even gave away his last money to a stranger. I would assume that was way before he got weird weird.
