38 h. ago ‘You just believe’: why Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is my feelgood movie

The latest in our series of writers highlighting their mood-lifting watches is a travel back to 1971 for the definitive Roald Dahl adaptationThere are some days when the only thing that can lift your mood is seeing a man in a top hat play the flute to summon a jodhpur-wearing Oompa-Loompa. Luckily, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory has plenty of that and a lot more besides. I don’t care if you’ve just received a terminal diagnosis or found out your wife’s been having an affair with Chris Martin, you stick this film on and you’ll smile.The last time I watched it, before rewatching for this article, was with my wife and infant son in the week after his birth. He was too busy crapping himself to understand what was going on so the film was obviously just for us. Why would two thirtysomethings choose to watch a children’s film from the 1970s? Perhaps we were nostalgic for our own lost childhoods of watching it every Christmas and bank holiday, perhaps we were excited for the near ...

1 week ago The Guardian view on Austen and Brontë adaptations: purists may reel, but reinvention keeps classic novels alive | Editorial

The appetite for onscreen versions of much-loved literature is endless, but dogged faithfulness to a text is not the only way to stay true to authors’ spiritIt is a truth universally acknowledged that every classic novel must be in want of a sexed-up adaptation. Ever since Colin Firth’s Mr Darcy waded out of the lake in a wet shirt in the BBC’s 1995 Pride and Prejudice adapted by Andrew Davies, we have expected the undercurrents of novels to be writ large on screen: the novel is dripping in sexual tension – who knew? No one objects when Jane Austen’s couples kiss on TV, although it never happens on the page. But we are reluctant to imagine more troubling historical realities, such as maternal mortality, or where the fortunes behind the big houses came from.As part of the 250th celebrations of Austen’s birth, Davies shocked audiences at the Cliveden literary festival last week with revelations that he is working on versions of Emma and Mansfield Park that will include death...
