Willy Wonka and the Glass

Athena 2022-04-22 07:01:02

The stones blocking the road can be seen, but the glass blocking the front is not easy to find. Through the glass, you can still see the scenery, slightly deformed and slightly dusty. You still feel beautiful, but green is not so green, and blue is not so blue. You still feel lucky to be able to see the beautiful scenery, but luck is not so lucky. And you don't know the existence of glass until one day, you accidentally touch it.

Willy Wonka baffles Willy Wonka that Charlie would give up the chocolate factory in order to be with his family. Willy Wonka doesn't know his glass cover yet. But whether he knew it or not, the glass cover was always there, always working. Otherwise why does his tongue tie every time he mentions the word parent? Willy Wonka has cut ties with his father for decades, and it's a lie that has even fooled himself. Only at the end when his head rested on his father's chest did he realize that his heart was not fully open before. Only after the glass cover was removed did he know that the glass cover once existed.

Greed, willfulness, and arrogance are all visible stones, and there is always an effort to remove them. If you want to find the glass cover blocking you, what rules can you follow?

    Grandpa Joe: No. No one did.

    Charlie Bucket: But there must be people working there.

    Grandma Josephine: Think about it, Charlie. Have you ever seen a single person going into that factory? Or coming out of it?

  • Violet Beauregarde: [hugs Wonka] Mr. Wonka, I'm Violet Beauregarde.
