Adult version of Willy Wonka

Rating: 7/10 (9 April 2006)

I couldn't help but notice a similarity to Willy Wonka. They both contained a guide thru the environment, were punished for their bad choices, inability to follow direction, rudeness and self centeredness and were rewarded for their compassion and trying to play by the rules. In both movies you slowly see the rude and disobedient people get sucked up a tube or down a drain in Willy Wonka and burned to death or have their head shot off in Saw II. At the end of each movie only the guide and the polite well behaved person survive. In Saw II they don't realize they have a guide among them, but Amanda and Willy Wonka are supervising the tour and are in control and the others are observed after being given the rules and punished and rewarded accordingly.
