Basically, Willy Wonka invented Squid Game, and nothing on God’s green earth is sexier than that. But at the same time he wants you to know that pleasure comes at a cost. Here is a man who built a factory devoted to the pursuit of pleasure. Maybe it’s time we came to terms with the fact that Willy Wonka, in whatever guise, is sexy. Thirty years earlier, Gene Wilder’s Wonka was mysterious and sly, with a barely concealed dark side – in short, he’s the Wonka your girlfriend told you not to worry about. True, he played Wonka as a creepy Michael Jackson-alike, but this was still pre-cancellation Depp, before he transmogrified into Marlon Brando: Nightclub Bouncer. After all, the previous Willy Wonka was played by Johnny Depp in his imperial phase. To anyone familiar with the various movie adaptations of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, this might seem slightly absurd.
