This movie is a classic and it probably always will be, and Johnny Depp will never be able to take the place of Gene Wilder. The story is absolute madness and it is funny to think about someone ever thinking about this. Like, who would think "You know what would make a good movie? A man obsessed with chocolate who is willing to give away all he has to a poor child if he completes a tour through his factory." I can't imagine someone sane thinking this up, but none the less, it made a very good movie.
The movie teaches an essential life lesson, be a good child and obey the rules and good things will come to you. It tells children not to be brats, or disobedient, or gluttonous. It also tells that in the end, all that matters is the relationships you build with the people around you. And all of these life lessons are taught in a mad house, shown explicitly in the tunnel scene.
I find this film to be good, but over hyped. I honestly don't think it is quite as good as everyone says it is, but t is still worth watching. It was one of the movies that most people view as a child and I think that it will be a timeless classic shown through generations.
This scene still scares me a little though.....

My Willy Wonka Fan Theory
I love Willy Wonka. It is one of the most magical and
heartwarming movies of all time. And
like Indiana Jones and Star Wars, we ignore the latest installment. There are a lot of interesting fan theories
out there about this movie none of which I think are meant to be taken
seriously. However I’d like to drop one
of my own theories. Again I think the
movie is pretty clear on it’s meaning and in no way do I believe that this is what
the movie really means. My theory is
that the contest was rigged and Willy Wonka had no intention of giving his
factory to anyone but Charlie. Charlie
was a local boy and Wonka saw him out working hard to provide for his family,
using his paycheck responsibly, and being a good kid, while all the other kids
were out binging on candy and just doing as they pleased. He saw that Charlie had the work effort and
responsibility to run a factory with the right training and as he said in the
end he couldn't do it forever. He then
had to find a way to find out whether or not he was right about Charlie, so he
sent out his golden tickets and chose each child he wanted. He sent out his “Slugworth” to find these
children and ensure that they got the golden tickets, how else do you explain
the fact that “Slugworth” was in the exact right place at the exact right time
and he knew exactly what to offer each child to make them slip up. Wonka then designed his factory to tailor to
each kid’s weakness. I’m suggesting that
the reason the sets look like sets is because they are, they were designed by
Wonka to cause the other kids to fail to warn Charlie of different dangers and
the real factory is what we saw in the opening credits. He knew that these were sets, that’s why he doesn't
seem concerned when all of the other children nearly die. He also set up a test for Charlie and he
failed this upset Wonka leading to his blow-up in the office however Wonka had planned
on this contingency and had a chance for redemption already set up, the
everlasting gobstopper. These were fake
candies he gave to the children in case Charlie failed his fizzy lifting
test. He knew he didn't When Charlie passed
this test Wonka realized he was right about Charlie and gave him his factory as
he had always intended. Of course this
theory is debunked by the last scene, but whatever.
