Wonka creates a fairytale world where chocolate solves all problems, in which the role of chocolate has transcended the realm of food to become a symbol of power or wealth.
In this world, the three villains of the chocolate merchant are representatives of monopoly capital, who control the resources of chocolate puree and determine the distribution of resources and market pricing. This monopoly not only made chocolate a privilege of the powerful, but also prevented ordinary people from making their own decisions about what they wanted to eat.
However, the advent of Wonka changed that. He broke the original power structure and turned chocolate from a luxury item for the elite into a daily food for the common people. Wang** collected raw materials from all over the world, shipped them back to China, and personally concocted exclusive chocolates, realizing the democratization of chocolate. This process is not only commercial, but also political, especially when Wonka steals the scarce cocoa fruit of the Opalempa, which further deepens its political implications.
However, the truth behind Wonka is not as rosy as it seems. Although Wonka exposed the corruption of the old capitalist groups and the power class, he himself became the new monopoly capitalist. His actions only replaced the old capitalists and did not change the essence of the monopoly.
In addition, Wonka reveals the importance of sweet food in culture. From sugar sculptures at banquets of the English aristocracy to modern desserts, sweet food has become a global cultural Xi. It's not just a matter of food, it's a cultural, economic, and political symbol.
Wonka is a film that reveals the truth behind power, wealth, and cultural Xi. It reminds us that while superficial change may have some positive effects, real change needs to go down to the institutional level to achieve true equality and freedom.
