Here's this guy who I suppose is working his fingers to the bone and Grandpa Joe just got out of bed for the first time in how many years? And no contractures, weakness, or pain. So all this time he never tried to get up which might have relieved the family's burden? He laid there and watched everyone suffer. If I'd been the father I would have throttled the old man half to death.
My husband and I always say that! Old fart was too weak to work but he sure hopped out of that bed to go to the chocolate factory!

Because I'm only familiar with the Johnny Depp movie and I don't even remember a scene in a classroom.
The Johnny Depp version was awful. You should watch the original film =0)

I saw the Gene Wilder one many years ago and was not impressed.

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you said you were not familiar with the original film.

It was many years ago so I do not remember the details. So yes, I am not familiar. I just know I watched some of it and was not impressed.

In any case, it is very different from the Depp version.
