So, I'm watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the old movie, the OOOOLLLLD movie) and I've always had 2 theories . . .
1. When Charlie goes to the candy store at the start of the movie and stares into the window of the candy store he sees the candy man singing with the children and literally THROWING candy at them with no expectation from them. However, later on when he finds money in the gutter on the street, he goes inside the candy store it's silent and empty and grim. He asks for a candy bar and as soon as he starts to open it the candyman DEMANDS money from him. Making the original vision he had perhaps somewhat of an assumption of how the children of families with money must live. With no worries or needs, being simply GIVEN things.
2. Due to the madness and confusion of the factory itself (rooms that enter from one place and through the same door exit to somewhere else the chocolate waterfall, the Oompa Loompas, I am lead to believe that perhaps the whole story of the factory itself, never happens. Stay with me. The theory I have is that he goes to bed the night before, and is dreaming of what the factory must be like, going through a trip of wonder and amazement and fright within his mind in this magickal place he could never hope to have gone to before.
However, it does mean that if the trip to the factory is all a dream that Charlie is one SERIOUSLY self righteous kid . . . I mean come on . . . by comparison to the rest of those kids, he looks like a damn ANGEL.
