Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a disgusting tribute to capitalism. Willy Wonka is the epitome of the great innovating CEO whose company lives in total secrecy.
He literally fired all his workforce to replace it with beings he brought from somewhere far away. Despite being human-shaped, they are totally complacent and aren't portrayed as particularly intelligent.
And the story says all of this is good!!! One doesnt need to think very deeply about this, the ideology of the story is totally apparent as an adult.
But then, it has the blueberry inflation scene, which changed the world forever. It's not a stretch to say that Tim Burton's adaptation created a new kink entirely by itself. This is an achievement few works of art can claim.
Verdict: 10/10 This film is a must-see. Blueberry inflation is the hottest thing ever
