    Yes, the movie is capitalist propaganda pretending ownership of corporations is decided through meritocracy.

    But this guy's problem with the movie is that Wonka wasn't zany enough.

      I'm amazed that the same man wrote Danny Champion of the World and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

      Like, capitalists are good if the workers they're exploiting are brown brown coded creatures I guess.

        In the book they are clearly black slaves. It's only the movies that portray them as orange.

      We were doing that party game where you take movie quotes on paper from a bag and read them, and everyone has to guess which movie they were from. I got Wonka's monologue from the end of the movie where he accuses Grandpa Joe of stealing fizzy lifting drinks and concludes with "Good DAY sir! You LOSE sir!" Oh man best draw ever. I burned Grandpa Joe a new asshole. "et cetera, et cetera!"
