Speaking of Willie Wonka, has anyone noticed the beginning of that movie has one hard working woman supporting, through hand laundry work, 4 adults that stay in a bed, for years, till a golden ticket is found? At that point one of the guys can get up and go to a candy factory.

Wonka is a wild film, and the story was changed a bit for the movie.

I had always felt that Wonka is a homicidal maniac, though the film has a throwaway line 'they will be ok, a bit wiser for the wear' or something like that. So the children don't seem to die as I had always felt for years.

The movie is sinister in some ways - when the gang gets on the boat about 2/3rd into the film there are only enough seats for the 'surviving' people. Wonka clearly knew that none of the children who had been tested so far would 'pass' and get to the boat.

Sinister.

For what ist worth, I try and quote 'Wonka' at least once a week - when someone catches the reference, that makes me feel very good.

That being said, I do love it when Mr. Wonka really sticks it to those awful kids (AND their parents).

Man, more kids and adults should watch that movie and LISTEN!

Yep, Charlie's homelife isn't very good.

I'm glad they all live happily ever after.
