Road Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” contained some stunning parallels to the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The remake, starring Timothée Chalamet, engages in the type of implicit racism that remains in the 1974 version of the novel (even after removing the more obvious racist elements). And, yet again, a white man plays #Wonka, continuing the tradition of a white-savior-type character.
