Slugworth was alright. The girl couldn't act her way out of a Wonka bar wrapper. The director probably had to film her while showing her lines on cue cards. The story of her reuniting with her mother was a boring waste of time and completely irrelevant to Wonka's ascent to a mysterious, world-famous chocolatier.
shareThey just wanted to make you feel good. Both helped each other in their respective quests.
shareWhat, Wonka's quest to learn the letters of the alphabet? Everything involving that girl was a waste of time, as was every other character Wonka found in that house of indentured servants. I never knew Wonka was originally extremely articulate yet simultaneously illiterate. Brilliant stuff.
shareOh no you're the second fucking nitwit that's claimed the entire film is about willy learning to read.
Probably haven't even watched the film and you've read it off the other nincompoop's post.

Cite where in my post I claimed the entire movie was about Willy Wonka learning to read? For someone who likes to rant about literacy and ignorance, you sure do have a reading problem. In combination with you being an irascible asshole, that ain't a good look buddy. share
"What, Wonka's quest to learn the letters of the alphabet?"
Irascible? You're the twerp getting your knickers in a twist about Willy not being good with letters. Posting your distress about things that aren't even in a movie you haven't seen? share
I wasn't in a twist. I pointed out it was a stupid, contrived plot point. You're the one having a chemical meltdown.
shareOh is it just a casual and nonchalant use of hyperbole and lack of proportion?
How is it contrive? Why exactly should Wonka already be literate when we meet him in this film? And why shouldn't he acquire literacy over the course of the film?
