    In chapter fourteen (audiobook version) of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the first thing Willy Wonka says about the Oompa Loompas is “my workers are used to extremely hot climate, they’d perish if they went outdoors in this weather- they’d freeze to death!”
    I wonder if this sentence inspired part of the idea for Snowpiercer.

  • @ImJJ
    @ImJJ 3 роки тому +16446

    In the 2005 movie, Wonka mentions his factory must be in a warm temperature because Oompa Loompas come from a warm region. Maybe that explains why in the snow piercer, a world of sub zero temperatures, there are none.

    1. Wilford said his position on his train is lonely. Meaning he chose to live in isolation just like willy wonka.
    2. Wilford asked curtis “when was the last time you were alone”. He only knew the significance of those words because they both originated from crowded, cramped homes.

Connecting dots is fun but people are obviously very gullible. The dude who made the video even decided not to mention that they refer to other non-living things as extinct on the train.
      I'm gonna make it cannon in my own head bc art is up for interpretation, but I'm not gonna pretend the guy who made it intended it to be a sequel to Willy Wonka just because of coincidences. Like jar jar binks being a sith lord makes a lot of sense but c'mon you think George Lucas had the time to come up with a whole background plot that nobody is gonna figure out for years while he's writing the actual story for Star Wars? It's kind of self-depricating to make someone who's already a millionaire seem even greater than they actually are just because you drew up some conclusions.

    This is one killer theory. I mean even the adult "Charlie" says the piece of equipment to maintain the engine went extinct. Extinct is an interesting word to use, often times used for when a living species if gone. As in the Oompa Loompa species went extinct.

      @@Salena905 In the original sleeping beauty the prince doesn’t wake her with a kiss. Instead he rapes her sleeping corpse for years, getting her pregnant repeatedly, until one day one of her children sucks on her fingers and accidentally removes the poison spindle, waking her from her slumber.
      In snow white the evil queen asks the huntsman to literally cut her daughters heart from her chest and bring it to her. Then in the end the queen is forced to dance at snow whites wedding by having her feet forced into red hot iron shoes, causing so much pain that she dances herself right off a cliff.
      In the original version of cinderella the evil step-sisters cut off their toes so that their feet would fit in the shoe.
      In Hansel and Gretel the two children are abandoned by their parents in the wood, lured into the house of a cannibal, and then commit murder by burning someone alive in an oven (something that is particularly fucked up when you remember its a _german_ fairy tale).
      Little Red Riding Hood features an adult wolf harassing and stalking a young girl through the woods, cannibalizing her grandmother, attempting to kill cannibalize her, and then getting hacked apart by an axe.
      The bible stories they teach children in sunday school involve such child friendly topics as incest, rape, global genocide, slavery, attempted child murder and human sacrifice, crucifixion, cannibalism, suicide, the stoning to death of children, rivers of blood, demons, prostitution, genital mutilation, and a litany of other serious topics despite coming from a holy book.
      Dorothy arrives in the Land of Oz by committing a highly celebrated murder. Then she hunts down and kills her victims sibling by literally liquifying all her internal organs.
      Alice in Wonderland encourages children to consume any mind offering substance offered to them by a stranger so long as its marked “eat me” or “drink me”.
      Kids are tougher than you give them credit for. And a story can contain very dark elements while still being intended for children. You can’t shelter and blind them to the world forever, at some point everyone needs to start living in reality, and fiction can find a safe place for children to explore some of the darker or scarier elements of reality while remaining perfectly safe at home, which leaves them better prepared for when they do encounter real dangers later on, so they won’t be blindsided.
      Indeed, the prevalence of dark storytelling elements in early fairy tales was not a mistake, as Disney would have you believe, but instead an intentional choice on the part of the parents who would pass those stories down to their children. Fairy tales often involve people getting lost or kidnapped, not because the parents telling their children them wanted to lose them, but instead because they wanted to teach them about the dangers that might exist so that the children would have sufficient fear to avoid allowing that to happen in the first place. They tell stories of people being poisoned so often so that people know to avoid taking candy from strangers.
      These stories are part of an oral tradition that was designed both to entertain, but also to educate. Fantastical elements are added to attract the child’s attention, while morals are slipped in so that when the story cements itself in the child’s mind the lesson will cement itself as well. Its a very effective mnemonic device to use in child rearing, since often the child won’t realize thats whats happening at all, so they won’t resist it the way they might, say, homework.
      Willy Wonka, like most of Roald Dahl’s books, falls into this genre and takes many if its story beats from them. Including the underlying darkness. However being a fundamentally Christian narrative the danger the story seeks to frighten children away from is not an immediate physical one like kidnapping, but instead the concept of sin. Each golden ticket represents admission into the kingdom of heaven, and each of the children’s grisly fates represents them giving into the sin they represent.
      Even Charlie, initially presented as a good man, is proven to be guilty of sin when he is tempted into sin by the worldly influence of Grandpa Joe (Who is Sloth, btw). And it is only when Charlie repents for his sins and is forgiven by Wonka Christ that he is able to enter into heaven, as symbolized by the great glass elevator literally flying into the sky, as the meek inherit the kingdom if god and get everything they’ve ever wanted, while the sinful are drawn into the pit instead. With Slugworth representing Satan, hired by god to tempt people into sin to test if they are worthy of inheriting his kingdom. The Oompa Loompa’s angels who serve god, maintain the kingdom, and sing in his presence.
      While there certainly are dark elements, that is because christianity has always relied on eliciting fear by stressing the negative consequences of committing sin to achieve the best results. But just because a Sunday school teacher tells kids they’ll go to hell if they steal and don’t repent doesn’t mean that Sunday school wasn’t made for said kids. Its just how a culture preserves itself and passes its values on to the next generation. By embedding them in stories that have emotional resonance.

      Im still not convinced. The connections he made were way too vague. "This movie has a psycopathic gunner and that one does as well so they must be related" And that was one of the better connections :T . The only one that was almost plausible was the oompa loompas theory. It makes sense cuz its said in the book that they cant survive cold climates and in the movie it was said that the part went extinct recently so they had to replace them with kids oompa loompa's height. Yet if they cant survive cold climates, they would've went extinct way sooner, like 17 years sooner, not just "recently".

    A connection you've missed is that Swinton was affecting a Yorkshire accent for apparently no reason (nobody else does)... But, Veruca's father is the only character in Willy Wonka with that particular accent. Probably a coincidence but definitely a weird one.
