This version is a psychological drama with elements of dark fantasy, set in the modern day. Willy Wonka is presented not just as eccentric, but as a traumatized, misanthropic genius, terrified of the outside world and utterly disillusioned with humanity's greed. The Golden Ticket contest is his desperate, final social experiment: a search for one uncorrupted soul (Charlie Bucket) who can prove that humanity is still worth caring about. The journey through the factory is less a spectacle and more a terrifying character test, where each child represents a modern sin that meets a dark, satirical fate designed by the cynical owner. The film explores Wonka's intense solitude and the hope that Charlie's genuine goodness can fill the emptiness in the genius's heart.
