Charlie and the Chocolate Factory/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

Am I ''honestly'' the only one who is ''deeply'' disturbed by the implication of actual cannibalism in that line?

** Because Wonka admits earlier that everything in the room (including the buttons, though they are not ''digestible'') was "eatable", including himself. However, as he says it is frowned upon in most societies, that likely suggests to viewers that Wonka himself does not promote cannibalism, and they interpret the later comment as a joke rather than yet another clue towards the outright ''stated'' fact that Wonka is a horribly deranged man.

**** You can taste something without ''eating'' it, you know.

** He ate Mrs. Lovitt's pies in a alternate universe?

** Except that he has several lines and exchanges copied wholesale from the book (admittedly Wilder may have had as well, but I haven't seen his film for a long time). While I'd probably agree that neither are exact to the book, I think ''Depp'' is the more faithful.

*** Except Depp's version adds the excessive [[Man Child]] aspects to the character, plus the unnecessary boatload of [[Daddy Issues]]. I think the Nostalgia Critic said it best when he suggested that the 1971 movie is closer to Wonka's characterisation in the book (but the film becomes more about Charlie), whilst the 2005 film had a closer characterisation for Charlie (and yet became more about Willy Wonka as part of the standard Tim Burton/Johnny Depp thing).

** The [[Schizo-Tech|SchiZtation]] [[Over Nine Thousand|9100]], which was made by an obscure Ameritish company back in 19exty2. I'm not surprised you haven't heard of it.

*** That company was [[Batman|Nygmatech]].
