CL: Yes. I think Noodle is definitely the brains of the operation. Paul King, the director, said that it seems like Noodles is the mother and Willys is the child. She is tending to him and giving him instructions. I really see that a lot in the film. However, it seems to me that she is the operation’s brains. She goes a long way toward helping Willy realize his dream of becoming a chocolatier.
TV: Slugworth thinks Noodle is “the brains of the operation” in the movie. ” Would you agree with his statement?.
CL: I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas. But I started acting when I was four. I played Molly in Annie. Subsequently, I was approached by someone who suggested that I encourage my daughter to pursue acting. My moms like, I might try that. And then I started doing it. When I was about eight years old, we relocated to California. And we’ve been here for five years, almost six years.
CL: I think I would really enjoy working on an action movie. However, I would also really like to play a mean girl in one of those high school dramas like Mean Girls or Clueless. I feel like thatd be cool.
CL: That was super fun filming it. First time we did it, it was not real chocolate. Then, when we tried it again, the chocolate was genuine. Furthermore, I seem to recall them saying, “You know you can eat it, just don’t And I thought, “Well, even though it’s edible, I’m not going to eat it anyway.” ”.

4. No one could possibly blame King for casting his “Paddington” standby (and true cinematic treasure) Sally Hawkins as Willy’s mother, who appears in flashbacks to further drive home his deep, abiding affection for chocolate (she made it, too!). Are we supposed to wonder about Willy’s father? However, we have only ever met Willy’s mother, and there is no information available about his father, so we have to wonder: Are we preparing for a sequel that focuses mostly on Willy’s father? If so, let’s not
2. It’s difficult to come up with an interesting plot to an unnecessary sequel to a beloved family classic, so why does Willy’s backstory (and many of the events of this film) mostly hinge on him being illiterate? We could not have succeeded even if you had asked us to select 15, no, 100 potential trigger events for our journey to start, and we still would not have reached the part where we said, “because he’s illiterate.” And this isn’t a one-time joke! We are constantly reminded that Willy Wonka is illiterate. He didn’t have time for anything else because he had spent too much time learning how to make chocolate. It’s canon.
1. Okay, so is Willy Wonka magical or what? Willy is an incredible chocolatier, but his abilities extend far beyond that. This man creates confections that have the ability to actually make people fly or expel bugs from their butts (and then be OK) by using moonbeams and sunshine in his recipes. There’s more going on with Willy’s work than just a talented chocolatier, but sadly, King’s film is more forced to examine his illiteracy than to delve further into his evident magical abilities.
