Willy wonka not rachmaninoff biography summary

Teevee attributes the musical combination to Sergei Rachmaninoff. It is, in fact, the opening notes from the Overture to The Marriage of Figaro by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Mrs. Teevee reveals herself as pretentious and attention-seeking by making this error.

The Bucket house as seen from the Wonkavator doesn't match earlier scenes of the same house.

When Willy is coming out of the factory, there is a large shadow crossing the walkway when the camera angle is at Willy's back.

Right as he walks into the shadow (at around 44 mins), they change cameras to show him from a closer shot, and he is further back on the walkway and for the second time walks into the shadow (at around 44 mins).

The actors discuss this on the 30th anniversary commentary.

During the overhead shot of the guests watching the Wonkatania boat approach them, Violet is seen tossing her giant gummy bear to the ground, however in the next shot from behind the guests and the subsequent front shot as they walk over to the boat and Charlie says "Wow!

What a boat!" Violet is seen holding the gummy bear under her arm again. It disappears permanently when she boards the boat.

You can clearly see that Willy Wonka is about to turn right down the red carpet (at around 32 mins) when the shot cuts to the crowd (at to ), but in the next shot (at around 39 mins), he has been pushed back toward the end of the stairs (and doesn't reach the right turn until ).

When Mike Teevee is going to send himself via Wonkavision, the cameraman (Oompa Loompa) puts his goggles on twice (at and ).

The liquid issuing from the beehive on the machine that makes the chewing gum meal (at around 1h 11 mins) is probably not honey, as cold or room-temperature honey is more viscous.

Hot honey can drip at that speed.

The Wonka candy Grandpa Joe gives Charlie for his birthday is clearly not a Wonka chocolate bar; it appears to be a round, cream-filled pie. There was no chance it could have contained a golden ticket.

Apparently half of the people in England don't have English accents.

Mrs.

Teevee attributes the musical combination to Sergei Rachmaninoff.

It is, in fact, the opening notes from the Overture to The Marriage of Figaro by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Mrs. Teevee reveals herself as pretentious and attention-seeking by making this error.

During her TV interview, Violet says she laid off gum and switched to chocolate bars for the contest. She then proceeds to gloat about the piece of gum she's been chewing for three months, thus breaking a world record.

If she laid off of gum for the duration of the contest, how is it she's been chewing this piece of gum for three months?

She probably meant that she didn't switch to another piece of gum for three months.

In the final scene in Willy Wonka's office, his hair changes back and forth from neatly-gelled and manicured to flyaway and ungroomed. This may be intended to show Willy's unpredictable nature.

When everyone is in the hallway outside the nerve center (at around 1 min), they are all crouched down; when Wonka opens the door (to the Chocolate Room) they are all standing up straight with 6 feet of room on top of them (at around 4 mins).

The room and hallway are full of other such optical illusions, so this is clearly an intentional artistic effect.

When everyone first enters the Chocolate Room containing the chocolate river (at around 1 min), the cast enters in reverse order of how they were positioned to in the previous scene when Wonka plays the musical lock on the door.

This may be a continuation of the paradox hallway gag.

When Wonka first allows the children into the chocolate room he makes an umbrella by sticking the bottom of his cane into a "mushroom" top and then holding the cane upside-down.

As he twirls the umbrella you can see the stab holes in the Styrofoam bottom from prior takes (at around 18 mins).

The first time you see the world map on the news (at , indicating where the gold tickets are found), there is a hole/tear in the map around Montana - this is the place where the marker "3" will be placed in later takes.

When Willy Wonka rushes over to Augustus Gloop, Augustus can clearly be seen pushing himself into the river (at around 29 mins).

When the great glass elevator is going up and out you see numerous windows, during exterior shots none of these windows are seen at any point, in fact all the windows from the exterior of the factory don't match any of the exterior windows.

After the elevator passes through the clouds it disappears, a second later when the clouds are very thin the elevator is completely gone even though it should now be visible.

At approximately the mark when Willy Wonka is at the elevator and goes to press the button to open the doors he doesn't press any of the actual buttons but the metal paneling to the right of the buttons.

In the fizzy lifting room, silver paint from the walls can be seen on both Charlie and Grandpa Joe's hands when they begin to burp and lower from the fan.

Bill the Candy Man is very giving with free candy during his initial musical number, but later in the story makes Charlie cough up the money for his chocolate bar.

He probably charged the candies from earlier on their tabs.

When Mrs. Curtis is being told her husband will be released by the kidnappers in exchange for her case of Wonka Bars, it is odd that she hadn't opened them to check for the golden ticket as soon as she bought them thus she could have given the kidnappers the bars.

When Mr.

Salt pleads with Veruca, he says four Golden Tickets remain to be found. However, he mouths "three" and holds up three fingers (at around 11 mins). The obvious audio dub indicates either an error, or that the filmmakers may have switched around the order in which the children are introduced during editing.

When the kids in the candy store are yelling, "Me, me!" their lips don't move (at ) when Bill is on the ladder ready to shower a hand full of candy down on them.

At the beginning of 'Cheer Up, Charlie' Mrs.

Bucket's lips aren't moving with the music (at , but there is no synchronization issue on the widescreen version).

During their first song, the Oompa Loompas sing (), "What are you at getting terribly fat," but the words flashing across the screen say, "Where are you at getting terribly fat."

In the office, after Charlie is introduced to Mr.

Wilkinson, Wonka puts his hands on Charlie's shoulders. You can hear Wonka say, "You've won," but his lips don't move (at , but it's Wonka's chin that doesn't move since the camera cut to a shot of Charlie from behind Wonka at while Wonka was saying "I had to test you Charlie" and we saw Wonka's chin moving then, just before he says "You won!" without his chin moving).

The wire holding the Wonkavator is visible as it flies over the city (or at least as it breaks through the ceiling at ).

In the fizzy lifting scene ( to ) you can clearly see the rigging for the actors (for example, two cables holding up Charlie by his waist at when he is holding onto Grandpa Joe as they are horizontal along the bottom of the superstructure).

And if you look closely you can even see the hooks they're attached to (for example, on Charlie's left side of his waist when he somersaults at ).

When Charlie and Grandpa Joe float towards the fan, you can see the cables holding them up (at , a faint black line coming down to Charlie's left shoulder).

When Mike Teevee gets thrown back into the pots/pans after eating the exploding candy in the inventing room, you can clearly see the line attached to his belt that was used by a crew member to yank him backwards (at as the rack is falling backwards).
