Those sects were basically Puritan type sects and the current fundamentalist and evangelical sects in this country. He sends out four gold tickets and whoever gets them will be able to visit his factory. No one knows what the secret prize one lucky kid will get is, but we learn that Wonka is looking for someone to replace him as head of the factory. It's an indoctrination in classic wealth-building and Imperialist brutality, served up from the master's perspective. Because the whole world is watching. Their fathers both work in the oral-hygiene business (Wonka's dad is "the most famous dentist in the world," whereas Charlie's dad works in a toothpaste factory). If anything, Wonka comes across as pagan and a bit sociopathic as well. Sounds like you had a poor childhood and want to spread your misery to others, but if you are such a miserable person, maybe you should go drown yourself in the chocolate river. But once you have a concept of factory and worker, there’s no moral in giving it away based on years of service rather based on who can run it better... look Wonka didn’t give it to his own family. Mike Teavee is evil in Wonka's twisted mind and must be punished along with the other kids. Therefore, just like The BFG, Willy Wonka may have also been a pedophile in the original manuscript. One who chooses which five children will make it to his factory and which of the five will survive unharmed. I used to love Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the 1971 movie starring Gene Wilder. Futhermore, the main character is a young boy living in extreme poverty with no father and bedridden grandparents. Namely, parents who will accompany them to a chocolate factory and who spoil them with candy. It's undoubtedly different from Willy Wonka's side. We had movie stores, but that gave a whole different experience at a young age. Kill the four main protagonists and use their body parts for his candy and chocolates as he did with countless others. You're almost done. Warner Bros. PicturesHell, 85 percent of you reading this are scared to go to the dentist now. Warner Bros. PicturesHe's basically Howard Hughes crossed with a pride parade. Willy Wonka tricks each kid and they go into the trap or something and Willy Wonka tried to kill them?! Carefully chosen victims. In Burton's version, the Oompa Loompas are physically identical and all male. Unique to Burton's version, Wonka has a malevolent father (Dentist Saruman! Of course, the slaves' versions of events was very different. Willy Wonka is an antagonist in the infamous Epic Movie. Hives and rashes, which account for the wig.
He needs to know for certain that Charlie is like himself, that he loves candy (unlike Mike Teavee) above all other things, and, more importantly, that he is OK with all of the terrifying defenses put in place to protect his secrets. Still, apparently a small boy was a more attractive owner than the Oompa Loompas. It's really hard now to articulate to people just how awesome it felt to realize something was on television that I hadn't seen in awhile. Yet, instead of being thought of as a villain, Willy Wonka is considered a hero. Willy's evil grin as he holds a chocolate bar. Every time a child is eliminated, the Oompa Loompas instantly turn up and burst into eerie choreographed song and dance. How can this be a slasher flick if there is no actual death? I think there are racist overtones, but not as directly as you argue. Mike Teavee is evil in Wonka's twisted mind and must be punished along with the other kids. On the surface, he's bald-faced lying to his child. Except for maybe that female Oompa Loompa Wonka is rumored to have married after retirement; Hilda the Whip Brandisher. Well, if there is a system, we can therefore assume that Willy Wonka had a plan for where the chocolate bars containing the golden tickets would be distributed: It was not random.
The only thing close to a Christian reference is the use of the word " paradise" in the song Pure Imagination - and a lot of religions have a belief in paradise.
