MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec. 15, 2023 /Christian
Newswire/ -- Have you seen the recent "Wonka" trailer put out by Warner
Brothers? A Priest, portrayed by Rowan Atkinson of Mr. Bean, Black Adder and
other projects, enters his Church as a starving child asks for some chocolate.
The Priest says he has no chocolate, he then turns around and eats a small bite
of the candy without regret or conscience - a Scrooge-type character. Later, the
Priest is attacked by an Oompa Loompa. What children will see in "Wonka" is a
religious leader "comedically" assaulted. Violence is becoming commonplace
towards religious leaders such as the street preacher who was shot in November
in Arizona and over 280 attacks on Jews in the USA as of Dec. 3, 2023 since the
October 7th attacks by Hamas.
I can guarantee "Wonka" won't become a classic. Sequels never are like the
creepy "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" from 2005. Do the creators of "Wonka"
honestly think that targeting Clergy/Christians around Christmas will bring big
box office? Aren't the creators of "Wonka" telling Christians that they don't
need nor want their filthy money by attacking a member of the clergy? Let's give
Warners Brothers what they want. Don't see "Wonka." Instead, watch "Willie Wonka
and the Chocolate Factory," a guaranteed classic that doesn't attack your faith
and loosely supports scriptural principles.
The 1964 Roald Dahl book, "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory" tells the story of
five golden tickets acquired by five lucky children allowing them entry into the
mysterious world of Willie Wonka and his chocolate factory. Four of the children
were thieves, greedy, gluttonous and disobedient (James 4:3) little monsters.
Their behavior brought about ugly consequences (Galatians 6: 7, 8) and their
removal from the factory. The fifth child, poverty-stricken Charlie Bucket, was
also disobedient by consuming Fizzy Lifting Drinks and stealing candy, the
Everlasting Gobstopper, for Wonka's competitor causing Wonka's hurt and anger
(Psalm 7:11). Charlie repented (Acts 3:19), giving back to Wonka the candy he'd
stolen. This sole act by Charlie Bucket took away Wonka's wrath (Psalm 145:8,
Jonah 3:6-10). Charlie and his family were rewarded with the wealthy chocolate
factory. Wonka desired to find a child successor whom he could trust to run the
chocolate factory once he retired. The reason for the golden tickets and
chocolate factory tour.
