In the hit movie, her character loses out on winning the factory after she is unable to resist a chewing gum meal that turns her into a giant blueberry. Following Wilder's death in , Nickerson said: "He was such a kind, tender-hearted man. And for him to put up with us, my God what patience he must've needed for five of us running around. She had a massive stroke last July and never really recovered. It was a very sad visit as she couldn't verbally communicate.
But we sang songs - 'Willy Wonka' of course! This may be due to the aforementioned juice staining her clothes, perhaps having properties that loosen the fabric, allowing for increased stretchability. That isn't to say that the aren't tight, as they most certainly are. Places where her appendages are where it can be seen, as they are sucked inward. It is probable that they would've torn if the blueberry grew much bigger. Violet's voice was much deeper then before, as she can be heard moaning and begging in a lower tone while as a blueberry.
This may be due to the massive amounts of juice compressing her voicebox, lowering the pitch of her speech. A blueberry transformation is unfortunately permanent, as they would have their skin, eye, and hair color changed to a permanent shade of blue. There are advantages blueberries have compared to humans. Most notably, due to changes in their bone composition, juiced blueberries gain inhumane flexibility, allowing them to bend any part of their body without injury. This can be seen as Violet is leaving the factory performing acrobatics that normal humans could not do.
Furthermore, blueberries have strong resilience, as Violet was able to swell to an enormous size without exploding and was rolled around the Inventing Room without any major problems.
Finally, the juice itself may have some special effects in making materials more flexible, as Violet's clothes were able to accommodate to her new size without any sign of ripping. Twenty Oompa-Loompas have undergone the transformation while testing the gum, however, none of them show up on-screen.
Probably the most famous blueberry is Violet Beauregarde, who stubbornly ignored Willy Wonka 's warning and chose to chew the gum, transforming her into a blueberry. Luckily, she was juiced, thus retaining some of her human traits. In some versions Violet is carried back on stage to sing a humiliating song whilst in others the Oompas and her mother sing whilst Violet is absent, having exploded into goo only moments ago.
Some versions even go so far as to have the Oompa Loompas come on stage covered in blue paint! She is later seen leaving the factory with the other kids and their parents fully restored to her former self, however, some versions have Violet leaving the Factory as a blueberry, never to be fixed.
The filmmakers of the adaptation simulated the blueberry scene by inflating the late Nickerson in a rubber suit and composed her outline in two halves of a styrofoam ball. It took 45 minutes to get her into costume, who was unable to go to lunch during rehearsals; instead, she was rolled around on set every five minutes to keep blood circulating. She recalls that Julie Dawn Cole, who played Veruca, saw her as the "cool American girl", but "she saw her as a big purple ball, who was completely embarrassed".
In the version, at the request of director Tim Burton , the filmmakers combined real footage of Robb with digital effects in order to increase the overall size of the blueberry rather than just the width as depicted in the novel. As well as for the scene of Violet and her mother leaving the factory. In the London Musical version, a button on her blue backpack is pressed to make her inflate and she runs around, and is put in a huge metal disco ball for her body.
Violet does not appear in the sequel, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator , along with Augustus, Veruca, and Mike, but is only mentioned, the only "bad child" to be remembered in the departure novel.
Wonka is talking about his new formula, "Wonka-Vite" and invites his grandparents to try it, but Charlie recalls "Are you sure? Remember the gum you gave to Violet Beauregarde? The original song in the novel featured a "Miss Bigelow" who chewed gum day in and day out for years before her jaws bit her tongue in two and spent her life quietly, and how the Oompa Loompas wanted to prevent the same thing happening to Violet. In the version, this song takes place in the Inventing Room, where the multicourse gum was created.
It is sung by the Oompa Loompas while Violet is being rolled around in blueberry form, and the lyrics contain 42 repetitions of the word "chewing". The track uses the same pitch in voice, accompanied by '70's disco music'.
In the version, the song merely talks about how chewing gum for long periods of time is repulsive. In the theatrical shows, her song is called "Chew It", which talks about her love of chewing gum and how it's her lifelong dream to chew the same stick all her life. It is followed by her Oompa-Loompa song, which is either sung by the Oompa-Loompas with her present, by her with the Oompa-Loompas present, by the Oompa-Loompas without her present, or by the actress who plays Violet while backstage with only the Oompa-Loompas and a Violet blueberry model present onstage.
Violet obtains a monomaniacal connection with chewing gum. She even tries to break the world record on how long she chews the gum, which she boasts to have beaten her very best friend. In the book, little of her personality is revealed. However, in the film, her personality is extremely talkative, brash, cynical, and sometimes hot-headed. She unleashes her temper on her unseen mother, her father, and twice on Veruca Salt. She has a little degree of bearability, and becomes annoyed with Veruca's constant demanding to her father.
Her personality in the modern adaption is more detailed. She is just as arrogant as Veruca Salt and her mother , and also over-competitive. She shows incredible reflexes in martial arts and almost inhuman speed. Her brash, vicious personality is thickened by her mother's exceeding vanity and unhealthily strong praise of her daughter.
Violet also shows nihilism and extreme cynicism towards other people, such as Veruca Salt and Charlie Bucket. She is just as callous as her mother, labeling everyone else as losers and non-entities. However, this callousness is immediately disapproved of by her mother when they exit the factory. Politics Covid U. News World Opinion Business. Share this —. Follow NBC News. By Elisha Fieldstadt.
