Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
71Worth an evening.
Charlie is the point. The factory is a test of children, and it is a fair test.
The review
Each child is a vice with a parent who has given up correcting it: greed, gum, television, spite. The tour removes them without killing them, and the songs are the indictment. Charlie is poor, polite, and tempted, and he puts the gobstopper back. That return is the whole film. Wonka is a moralist disguised as a showman, which is better than a showman disguised as a friend.
Some of the boat ride is truly frightening. Sit with a small child. Do not apologize for the lesson. The lesson is that a poor boy with a grandfather can outrank a rich child with no limit.

Live Historic number 71. Yours can differ.
The glance
Piety is the thin one.
Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
