Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - 1971

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is an epic movie about raising children the right way. It shows that children are often a reflection of their parents. Starring Gene Wilder it is a film for kids and adults. It entertains with a positive hopeful message. The original story originated from a WWII Ace Fighter Pilot, who also wrote James and the Giant Peach.

The Chocolate Factory is located in the UK. Strange as it seems Willy Wonka and Charlie are Americans in England, likewise there are many British in America as well.






Mike Teavee from the USA

The big mouth know it all bully is played by Mike Teavee from the United States. He is spoiled rotten and is not afraid to push adults around. Mike picked up his pushy disrespectful unscrupulous, I know how to put you in a box attitude from his ninny whinny parents.




Violet from the USA

Violet is a negative stereotype American girl with a big ego Lucy-complex who does what she wants when she wants. She has no respect for authority. Her behaviors originate from her push over and slick and greedy parents who always let her have her way, and has little respect for others.

Augustus is a German boy who is a glutton allowed to consume and get everything he wants. His parents allow or enable him that he harms his own body. Not really a bad kid, but he is a kid without limits.




US flag with Charlie

The hard luck case, unspoiled and gives respect to his elders. But Charlie, like all children is prone to make mistakes. However his heartfelt humble respect for honesty saves the day. He is the rare poor American kid living in England.
