Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is an AWESOME movie. I remember the first time seeing it - it came on TV on Christmas night, and I remember my Aunt talking about the blueberry girl. Magical stuff.Anyway, I random Google. When I hear a phrase on tv or a book or whatever that I find interesting, I Google it. I find life is much like the web - one idea spawns another. I just wish hyperlinks were there to let me find out info on stuff I see in real time. That is what is so cool about the web - you can follow links to ideas and keep going till.
Anyway, after Wonka talks about snozzberries, Veruca Salt mumbles something and then Wonka grabs her face, with her tounge hanging out, and says "We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams...". It is from this poem:
=====>>SNIP
Ode - Arthur O'Shaughnessy
We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.
With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the world's great cities,
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion an empire's glory:
One man with a dream, at pleasure,
Shall go forth and conquer a crown;
And three with a new song's measure
Can trample an empire down.
We, in the ages lying
In the buried past of the earth,
Built Nineveh with our sighing,
And Babel itself with our mirth;
And o'erthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new world's worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.
=====>>END SNIP
BTW - the book had no notable quotes like this - only the movie.
