Culturally-deficient confession: I have never seen any iteration of the Willy Wonka movies.
Not the original with Gene Wilder, nor any of the remakes with Johnny Depp or Timothee Chalamet.
Am I missing anything?
I am aware of the visuals, however, and they inform this darker and more sinister take on the top-hatted cultural icon. It marks another turn in the Divine Diva Tour, and the fairy has another tale to tell.
“Where is fancy bred? In the heart or in the head?”
“The story is about the opposite aspects of one and the same person; that which pushes him to escape into a faraway world of adventure and fantasy, and the other part which keeps him bound to common practicality – his id and his ego, the manifestation of the reality principle and the pleasure principle.” ~ Bruno Bettelheim
Shadows and outlines, the man who is there, the man who is not there, the man who will never be.
There or anywhere.
“There’s no earthly way of knowing which direction we are going.”
