WHY, oh, WHY wasn’t this made into a widescreen special edition? Some of the special features are even in widescreen. What in the world is up with that?? I enjoyed the special features, but wish there had been more (like a commentary) . I don’t fetch why they wasted time in making this without using the widescreen format. I feel like I’ve been taken.

About the movie: this is a approved in our family. It’s a bit shadowy, and some people are upset by it, but there’s a certain message and a pleased ending (oops, was that a spoiler? ) I highly recommend it, and probably the best age to gawk this would be 6 or 7 and up, depending on how sensitive your child is.
Matilda is worth watching, and I assume worth owning too. However, let’s collect the reservations over before all the top-notch stuff.
Miss Trunchbull, played by Pam Ferris, is a sadist. She is definitely mean. At two places in the movie she throws a child out a school window (she is really, really mean) . Matilda’s parents are self-absorbed and at best ignore Matilda, which occasionally borders on abuse. The images of Matilda’s school can be disturbing, especially the “Chokie”, a limited little dismal closet with spikes in the door. These images could be disturbing for younger children, particularly those under the age of 7 or 8. However, you have to assume the ability of your child to understand that these images are not dependable. These are the murky parts of the movie.

Matilda is clearly a genius, as evidenced by her actions from a very early age. Matilda overcomes her not very shimmering parents and learns how to fend for herself in the world. In fact, after a while she treats her parents as something to be concerned about, because they clearly do not know how to purchase care of themselves in the world.
Matilda is a sure role model throughout the movie. She learns to read on her have, and finds the value in the library and books. She learns that there are people who understand her (Miss Jennifer Honey, played by Embeth Davidtz) and like her for who she is. She also learns that people who seem scary to her (Miss Trunchbull) can be scary to others. Her desire to protect others and do what is true helps her overcome her dismay of Miss Trunchbull and do what is just.
Mara Wilson plays Matilda very well. She has a lot of talent, and makes Matilda arrive alive. Danny De Vito plays Matilda’s father and Rhea Perlman plays Matilda’s mother, and every time I explore them I cringe because these two are very unlikable characters, and I like Danny particularly. Danny also does a very well-behaved job narrating this movie, which somewhat ameliorates his turn as a semi-villain.

This movie celebrates, as it does in most Roald Dahl books, the triumph of moral over snide, and perhaps sterling over nasty. The characters verge on being cartoonish, which is fitting for a children’s movie. Having Matilda be telekinetic adds a fantastic element of fantasy with which children will identify. It is often a childhood fantasy to have powers or abilities to create things upright, and Matilda obtains such a power and uses it for superior.
This movie has a darker side, but the laughable moments and the Matilda’s triumph over all the odds against her develop this a fun movie. Worth watching again and again, I deem this movie is well targeted to 8 to 12 year olds, but those of us adults that want to aloof beget that profitable will always triumph over unpleasant and that safe things eventually approach to well-behaved people will come by the message uplifting.
