Consider my mind blown. And I imagine the oompa loompas is a bit of an imagery toward slavery since they are colored, and they follow Willy Wonka's orders no matter what.

WHATTHE****

Found this cool tidbit about the flick.

Quote:
When Wilder was cast for the role, he accepted it on one condition:

When I make my first entrance, I'd like to come out of the door carrying a cane and then walk toward the crowd with a limp. After the crowd sees Willy Wonka is a cripple, they all whisper to themselves and then become deathly quiet. As I walk toward them, my cane sinks into one of the cobblestones I'm walking on and stands straight up, by itself; but I keep on walking, until I realize that I no longer have my cane. I start to fall forward, and just before I hit the ground, I do a beautiful forward somersault and bounce back up, to great applause. — Gene Wilder

The reason why Wilder wanted this in the film was that "from that time on, no one will know if I'm lying or telling the truth."

The man was a genius, even if behind closed doors. He knew what the audience wanted, and he requested it for the audience.

Interesting that Roald Dahl apparently hated the film adaptation and refused to allow a film to be made of Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator.

Maybe that's why they ended the movie with them in the glass elevator?

In the book the oompa loompas are actual black africans.

Who would ever lie about being involved in the deaths of children?
I'm surrounded by soulless dunderheads.

It would be an interesting argument if not for one major detail: It's a Roald Dahl story. Those defy logic. Hell,. James and the Giant Peach thrives on that.

None of his stories make sense is your counter argument? Please, you're just in denial (as I suspected).
