Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)

[princesssarisa]

For the character asks, Augustus Gloop from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Favorite thing about them: His fate of falling into the chocolate river and then being sucked up the pipe that takes the chocolate to the Fudge Room is colorful and memorable. The perfect outlandish "punishment" for a child who eats too much candy in an over-the-top dark-comedy morality tale.

Least favorite thing about them: Two words: fat shaming. The portrayal of his vice hasn't aged well since 1964. Instead of emphasizing that eating nonstop junk food is unhealthy and that Augustus is harming himself, the book's apparent viewpoint is just that fat people and overeating are disgusting to see. At least his lapping up the melted chocolate from Wonka's river, not caring that the chocolate is going to be made into candy that other people will eat, shows that he's rude and selfish too, so the disgust aimed at him isn't entirely about his overeating or his weight.

Three things I have in common with them:

*I love food to a fault, especially chocolate.

*I'm overweight.

*I sometimes impulsively broke rules as a child.

Three things I don’t have in common with them:

*I'm not a little boy.

*I make an effort to eat healthy most of the time.

*I'm not German, as he is in most adaptations, though I do have some German ancestry on my mother's side.

Favorite line:

From the book, as he laps up the melted chocolate:

"This stuff is fabulous! Gosh, I need a bucket to drink it properly!"

From the 1971 film, when the TV reporter asks him how he feels about finding the Golden Ticket:

"Feel sorry for Wonka. It's gonna cost him a fortune in fudge."

From the 2005 film, when he recounts finding the Golden Ticket:

"I am eating ze Vonka bar, und I taste something that is not chocolate or coconut or valnut or peanut butter or nougat or butterbrittle or caramel or schprinkles, so I look and I find ze Golden Ticket."

brOTP: Possibly his mother, though she's brought him up badly.

OTP: None.

nOTP: Any adult.

Random headcanon: After his traumatic experience at the factory, he'll give up candy and grow up to be a fitness and health food guru – yet be just as obnoxious about it as he was in his junk food greed.

Unpopular opinion: I wish the adaptations wouldn't always portray him as German. It's blatant borrowing from the 1971 film, and I'd like at least one adaptation to get out of the 1971 film's shadow, more than any of them have done so far.

Song I associate with them:

The first iteration of "Oompa Loompa" from the 1971 film:

"Augustus Gloop" from the 2005 film:

[yeahyeahbeebisii]

Legitimately curious how Michael Bollner feels about being put in real, disproportionate danger as a child for a fucking movie. I've heard some really awful "Let's just put real actors in peril" stunts, but never on a kid.
