I will find the only one who fits my soul in the vast crowd

The film "Matilda" tells the story of the little girl Matilda who has superhuman wisdom since she was born, but her lack of responsibility and ignorant parents have always regarded her as an outlier and sent her to a highly regulated school. In the school, Matilda witnessed the evil deeds of the evil-hearted principal. Fortunately, she met a beautiful and kind teacher who brought hope and warmth to Matilda's life. In the end, Matilda defeated the principal using wisdom and her own superpowers. The teacher adopted Matilda and they lived happily together.

At first I saw this film as a children's movie, trying to see it as a fairy tale-the protagonist defeated the evil forces and finally lived a happy life with the person I liked. Throughout the film, the overall framework of the story is also in line with the setting of classic fairy tales, with an extremely imaginative and absurd plot, a delightful climax paragraph, and a just and happy ending. I can almost conclude that it is a fairy tale! But when I saw 98%, I started to think, is it the fairy tale in my heart?

Matilda did not want to move away with her parents. She said that there was an adoption agreement in her schoolbag. The teacher proposed to adopt her. The parents understood and agreed to sign her. The whole process was smooth and easy, not heavy or even a little joking. After being adopted, Matil Da is like a bird out of the cage. At this time, I don’t think it is like a fairy tale anymore, or she is not like the fairy tale I understood when I was a child. It is not a typical "Oriental fairy tale", and it is not shrouded in a "native family". In the shadows. More like a history of struggle by a person, Matilda’s character setting is a child who is extremely intelligent and inspires her own superpowers. She can distinguish good from evil and judge likes and evils. She was very young. It solves the problems that some people are difficult to solve, and becomes the winner of life happily.

From my perspective, the film is more like an adult fairy tale. But I think what the film really wants to convey is the ultimate personal romance and heroism, just fairy tales. Matilda, who is quirky and full of sense of justice, defeated the "monsters and ghosts" in life, starting from the needs of people's own soul and emotion, completing a control of interpersonal communication and self-life.

    Fairy-tale stories are not difficult. The difficulty is that the film’s fairy-tale lens language, inner rhythm and emotional communication will make you unconsciously cheer up, nervous and excited from the heart, like after stealing a candy and being caught. I managed to escape again and returned to the beauty of my childhood. It is strongly recommended that adults take the children to watch it together. PS: It is good for children to read more books anyway, and it is better for children to raise them freely.

Matilda quotes

  • Zinnia Wormwood: Look, Miss Snit, a girl does not get anywhere by acting intelligent! I mean, take a look at you and me. You chose books - I chose looks. I have a nice house, a wonderful husband... and you are slaving away teaching snot-nosed children their ABCs. You want Matilda to go to college? Ha, ha, ha, ha...

    Harry Wormwood: College?

    [scoffs]

    Harry Wormwood: I didn't go to college. I don't know anybody who did. Bunch of hippies and cesspool salesmen, ha ha ha ha...

    Jenny: [insulted] Don't sneer at educated people, Mr. Wormwood. If you became ill, heaven forbid, your doctor would be a college graduate.

    Harry Wormwood: Yeah...

    Jenny: Or - or say you were sued for selling a faulty car. The lawyer who defended you would have gone to college, too.

    Harry Wormwood: What car? Sued by who? Who you been talking to?

    Jenny: N-nobody.

    [sighs]

    Jenny: I can see we're not going to agree, are we?

  • Harry Wormwood: A book? What do you want a book for?

    Matilda: To read.

    Harry Wormwood: To read? Why would you want to read when you got the television set sitting right in front of you? There's nothing you can get from a book that you can't get from a television faster.
