The book takes place sometime during the 1920's, and the movie best guess late 1940's/early 50's due to the TV references. How many of these events would be illegal based on the laws of the time? Due to how bizarre some of the events are, I'd be curious how much of it is actually addressed. We'd be looking at the laws roughly 75 years or in the case of the book, a century ago.

Hm well Wonka does acknowledge the ceiling of the Fizzie Lifting Drinks room needs to be washed and sterilized because Charlie and Grandpa merely touched it, so I would think it's a safe bet he adheres to health protocol and won't be shipping out any of the candy from the first room.

@maskedmallard537 5 ай бұрын

He also mentioned that Austus contaminated his chocolate river. The rest of the kids he seemed kinda blasé about but that one sounded like real concern and panic...for his chocolate. And probably his bottom line. 😂

@unclenogbad1509 5 ай бұрын

Really enjoyed this, thanks. It's something inherent in Dahl's style - captured so well in the ORIGINAL film - that there's such a breezy, cavalier attitude to any kind of danger. a sort of transgression of all adult warnings and proscriptions that make his stories so appealing to kids. Also, let's face it, Gene Wilder would have gotten away with any of these charges just on personality alone.

I don't think anyone actually died in the Chocolate Factory. Scarred maybe. Didn't the remake show this? I think the book had it too. I thought flying cars are already a thing but they are expensive and you would need a pilot's license to fly one anyway.

This is all under the impression that Wonka is being serious. He's not, he knows exactly what hes doing and what he's saying. He is always non challant about everything which means he knows whwt us going to happen and that it's not permanent. She doesnt get sent to the incinerator, she just goes down the pipe to where they use the discarded eggs for something else

I’ve always felt like the chocolate factory was in in some way detached from the world and maybe even a gateway to another dimension, seeing that Wonka is not in the least bit phased by threats of lawsuits or the ramifications of maiming (or, possibly killing) the children (and not just because he might be planning to pawn off all that legal trouble on Charley); within that factory it seems like the laws of physics don’t apply, so how much more the laws of the land?
