Pure Imagination - Gene Wilder & Timothée Chalamet Duet

"Don't forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted. He lived happily ever after." That he did, Mr. Wilder, that he did.

The fact that gene is transparent shows he’s there in spirit

This movie was such a love letter to the original. The entire production made sure of it, especially with it being a homage to Gene Wilders performance. An absolute masterpiece of cinema in every way.

this is so amazing, it even looks like Gene is looking at Tim as a kinda, "it's your turn now, make me proud"

Timothee has a lovely softness to his voice. My grandson and I have been to the cinema to see it twice now,. Its brilliant but like most I grew up with Gene Wilder and therefore introduces my daughter to it. They are difference enough to have both in your DVD library.

We love you Gene & Tim R.I.P. Gene Wilder You'll be in our heart of imagination

Saw the movie today. Was very pleased by Timothy's portrayal. Gene is looking down proud I'm sure.

I must admit, my eyes watered up when he began to sing that song at the end of Wonka. All the way through the film, you would hear a few notes of it and I thought that was all we were getting. The boom. Suddenly the loss of Gene Wilder hit me all over again

Told my Mom I was going to see this movie. She said ‘Aren’t you a little old to be seeing Willy Wonka?’ 😮 Never. If we close off the parts of our childhood that made us happy, we will never be happy as adults. ❤ I’ve seen all three adaptations and they are all wonderful in their own way.

Rip gene wilder you made ours childhood great

Great work Timothy, Gene Wilder would be proud

HUGE shoes to fill...but boy did Timothée do it. I sobbed without shame when he sang this at the end of the new film. 🥲 Bloody awesome.

This is not comparing them, its a beautiful duett from the past to present times!

This is one of the most beautiful songs written for a motion picture.

Gene Wilder version will all ways be Pure Imagination😢😭🥺❤😍🥰

Never knew what a beautiful voice Timothee had. Gene was magical as Wonka still one of my all time favourite movies.

There were a few moments in the film when Timothy captured Gene’s facial expressions perfectly! He truly portrayed this role with love and respect. It was wonderful!

I remember watching the original in a psych ward. Majorly depressed and in a state of psychosis while suffering from withdrawl. I'd been a major alcoholic and was going nowhere fast. This song, especially "if you want to view paradise" was essentially the moment where i swore that i would get out of this misery and never be in that position again. 2 years later, and I'm clean without even a sip. I'm glad i went down the route that needn't an explanation. Want to change the world? Theres nothing to it 😊

I went to see the Gene Wilder one when I was a kid, when it first came out, and i was EXTREMELY doubtful of the need for a prequel (never bothered with depps, he looked so creepy). Within the first two minutes of Wonka 2023 I knew I'd love it and i did. Timmy Chalamet was fine casting and his singing was 70s movie worthy❤❤😊. BTW did you know the original plan was to dub in a singer for Gene Wilder but when he did the scene they realized his voice fit just perfectly? I've seen it 6x in theatre.....who else is loving this iteration??

Wilder made feel me what is it like to be a kid again while Tim made me feel the of joy being a father and sharing the same joy with my kids
