Willy Wonka and the Racism Factory!

I thought it was a good observation. I noticed this when I went and saw the movie this summer. I'm not one to be Politically Correct or anything, but I still found this just a little interesting.

I wonder how long it will take Jesse Jackson to want to boycott this movie.

The remake of that movie was bollocks imo, looked more like michael jackson inviting 5 kiddies over to neverland for the night. oOo:

And i gotta love how "charlie bucket" who lives in england finds a $10 bill and spends it in an english store, and when he gets the golden ticket is being offered $500 for it. Last i checked england didn't use dollars. oOo:

Interesting read, but it seems like he is reading more into it just to make a point. Expecting the movie to address whether Willy Wonka claims intellectual properties on the flavors found in Loompaland? Puhleese. I wonder if this guy will write a similar article to point out the negative portrayal of poor Southern whites when they do a remake of Deliverance?

BTW - i noticed that $10 bill thing too. Who writes this stuff? Have they ever been farther than ten miles from the famous Hollywood sign?

they are reading just a little too much into it, just imagine if they tried to remake Roots today

"Willy Wonka Takes it in the Chocolate Factory"

I noticed cocaine metaphors alot more in the new one, cocao bean," 'chocolate' makes little boys noses itch"...depp looking increasing high as the movie goes on

Just start worrying if they come goosestepping out of the cinema and referring to black people as "boy".
