Matilda is an astonishing movie about a 6 years old girl who has a hard time connecting with her family. She is elegant, tremendously sweet, and very brave. A grumpy couple gave birth to Matilda and her mean older brother. Matilda desires nothing more than to learn. Matilda persuades her father to take her to school. There Matilda meets Truchbull a horrendous principle who tries to make her school life miserable. I loved watching this scene I get a good laugh every time I see it. She starts to unintentionally unleash telekinetic powers that destroy a television and make a reptile fly on the principal. With enough practice, Matilda starts to learn to control her powers. I love watching her use her power against her family and Truchbull. I think her telekinetic power was a metaphor for her knowledge. Matilda aspiration to learn obliterates Truchbull out of everyone’s way. Matilda was a movie I find irresistible and would watch again. I agree with Alicia this movie does relate to many people. Everyone at least had a brother who had been mean to them or a teacher they really thought was excruciating. This movie has many things to offer. It inspired to never give up even though life gets difficult when unexpected. Also don’t give up because a teacher gives you a hard time or life might not be what you imagined. I agree with Alicia this movie is worth our time and money.
