2/10
Disturbing, Bizarre, Rambling
15 November 2023
I just rewatched "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" for the first time since seeing it as a kid in school and I am left with the same impression, which is that this film is disturbing, bizarre and rambling, but mainly disturbing due to the way the film and Wonka treat the children. I get that the kids are supposed to be brats and that there is supposed to be some lesson in here for kids to be better behaved, but come on, kids are kids, and of course they would be excited to tour a chocolate factory. Why on earth this supposed kids musical decides to maim, mutilate and kill off the principal child characters is beyond me, but I found it disturbing as a child, and I still find it disturbing as an adult. Be forewarned, I wouldn't recommend this film for young children. 2/10 rating.
