The more you watch Matilda, the more you realize it's a story about a girl escaping an abusive family rather than a girl with power.

Mara Wilson who plays Matilda received the upsetting news that her mother was unfortunately diagnosed with breast cancer around the time of filming so Danny Devito and Rhea Pearlman who were married at the time and also played Mr and Mrs Wormwood took it upon themselves to take care of her. They also screened the film early to Maraâs mother in hospital who unfortunately passed away just before the film was released in cinemas.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who already gets this but I just can't resist saying, this is not about having super powers this is about a child who's abused and neglected by her parents and finds a way to escape through books. I think Roald Dahl really enjoyed giving power to characters who in real life had little to no power, and I think that was another important aspect of this story. I love this movie, and I don't think he got it.

Love her or hate her, there's no denying Matilda was a savage. I mean, she was really carrying around adoption papers ready to ditch her family at any given oportunityđ

I love that her parents were actually her parents, and it wasnât some âms honey is her real mom!!â Thing. Itâs like, âhey, family is what you make it, and just because someone is related to you doesnât mean they have your best interest in mindâ

My mom and I went to see Matilda in the theaters when I was little. We left halfway through because Trenchbull traumatized me. Years later I finally saw how it ended and I loved how Ms. Honey adopted her. What a hero

Fun Fact: Danny (the fathers actor, the narrator and the director of the film) is literally the sweetest man in real life going as far taken in Mara ( the actress playing Matilda) during the filming because her well father had to take her mother to get advance cancer treatments. The movie was still in production when her mother passed but Danny had a rough cut made so her mother could see it before she passed.

This definitely isnât a âgirls movieâ. The main character is a girl, yes, but itâs about some real hardships of childhood presented in a fantastical way that kids could relate to and still understand the underlying message. And it was directed by Danny DeVito.

Not everyone has a happy childhood, good parents, or nice experiences at school. Matilda may be traumatizing and weird for children coming from a nice home but for the less fortunate, it's a splendid story of empowerment and resourcefulness. I love that Dahl's work is honest about how terrible life can be and his books don't try to shelter children from the harshness of the world. They are dark, yes, but they also care deeply for children. They give them strength and hope that they are capable of taking control of their own lives and steer it into a better direction. I personally feel that more books and movies like Matilda are needed in the world, because they can give tremendous support for children abused and neglected, and there are plenty of such children all around us. Dahl was brave enough to write children's stories where family members are not all nice and loving (in George's Marvellous Medicine, the villain is the child's grandma), because not all of us come from happy families but that doesn't mean we cannot find people who care about us in the future.

As someone that was abused worse than in this movie as a kid while no one was there to help me, movies like this helped me cope that things would get better. They did. đ

This was absolutely my comfort movie as a kid. Seeing another kid who was neglected and being told I wasnât alone, and that Iâd find someone who loved and takes care of me someday was something I needed to hear as a kid.
Sometimes the people who are supposed to take care of you donât. Sometimes the people in charge have rules that benefit themselves instead of those who follow them. And sometimes the nicest people are those who have been through the most pain. I love this movie, and always will.

You know, in the Matilda book, they explicitly explain that Matilda's powers are a result of her being a super genius but being mentally underchallenged her whole life. So all her 'super amazing brain power juice' just sat there and collected until she figured out how to use it. After Ms. Honey adopts her, she skips several grades to get put into courses that challenge her (if I remember right, they skipped her all the way to advanced high school classes, if not college). After she starts using her brain power on that, her super powers fade away.
So the moral of the story is - never mentally challenge yourself. If you do it long enough, you too can develop super powers.
P.S: Holy crap, what is with the resurgence of bots on YouTube lately? Every single reply in these comments is a freaking bot, and they're getting bold enough to make normal comments now.

âWHY ARE ALL THESE WOMEN MARRIEDâ Thatâs my favorite line, so glad it was put in the video!

Matilda is actually a brilliant creation. It's written and filmed in a childlike larger-than-life perspective. It shows how to remain a gentle, compassionate person amidst cruelty, how to seek out the few who share the same values despite feeling alone and unheard. How to strive to make things better, utilize the power of the mind and intelligence...... it's not really about literal telekinesis or superpowers.... even the end of the movie, they say she didn't really use her "powers" anymore.... She crooks her finger to call a book over..... the books provided her with the mental and emotional escape she needed to survive the crappy family she was born into. This movie gave a lot of us hope, and let us know that we weren't alone.

5:02 the part where the dad rips the library book gave me so much anxiety (in a wrong way) as a kid and even now as an adult. Mostly because of the lingering thought of how she is gonna have to tell the nice librarian about the incident or if she just never went back to the library because of that event.

The book was by Roald Dahl so of course it was weird! He never treated children like they were stupid or shied away from tough topics. There's parental neglect, assault, fraud, and even implied murder, but Roald did it in such a fantastical way that it becomes acceptable for children. I love his twisted mind. There are also feminist undertones to it - the majority of the characters are female, succeeding without men (or even in-spite of men), Miss Honey gets the family she always wanted without needing a man to do it. Girls can like pig-tails, or they can read books, or they can be shot-put champions, whatever they want

Nothing resonated with me more than âIâm smart, youâre dumb. Iâm big, youâre little. Iâm right, youâre wrongâ as it was the kind of fun thing I always heard when adults wanted to shut me down as a kid.

Miss Trunchbull was an epic villain! Her absurd strength, the welch accent, and the way she could litterally catch the sent of a child was absolutely terrifying.

One thing I really loved about this movie is that none of the kids decided to bully Matilda because they all understood that they were all under the same threat (Trunchbull) and they saw no point in picking on anybody just because they don't know her all that well. In fact, Matilda makes some pretty fast friends this way. Even Bruce from the cake scene!
Also the fact that Matilda was fully ready to get adopted by a better family this entire time XD

Fun fact: The lady who played the principal is really sweet IRL and the kids actually felt really bad about the final scenes with her because she was always very nice to them.
