Matilda

 Hey Everyone, I hope you all are having a wonderful week so far!

 I have decided to write about one of my favorite movies Matilda, Starring Danny Devito, Mara Wilson, Rhea Pearlman, Pam Ferris Embeth Davidtz and a whole wonderful Cast! 

The movie is absolutely awesome, It starts out with a six year old named Matilda Wormwood she is a bright young intelligent young lady and she loves to read! 

Unfortunately she has been neglected and mistreated by her parents her dad Harry Wormwood who is a corrupt car dealer salesman and her mom Zinnia who loves to play bingo, she has an older brother named Micheal who have mistreated her all her life.

They frequently leave Matilda home alone to fend for herself, they refuse to enroll her in school, being the smart and independent young lady that she is she finds her peace and solace in library books at her local library that she has been going to since she was four years old.

Since her parents won't allow her to go to school she seeks revenge on her dad by punishing him she puts hydrogen peroxide in his hair oil which bleaches his hair, and then she takes it up a notch and puts glue on the rim of her father's hat when he encourages her brother Micheal into his illegal car dealings.

later they all go out to eat at a restaurant and that is a whole funny scene that you will enjoy when you see the movie it is a whole thing, they return home and eating dinner with watching tv Harry sees that Matilda is reading a book and that makes him mad because she is reading and not watching tv like everyone else.

He takes the book from her and starts tearing the pages out of the book and tells her he is fed up with her reading all the time and forces her to watch the tv, which makes Matilda angry before they know it the whole Tv ends up exploding you will find out more about that later.

 Harry sells a car to Ms. Agatha Trunchbull the tyrannical child-hating principal of Crunchem Hall Elementary School, in exchange for admitting Matilda as a student, on her first day Lavender who Matilda befriends and Hortensia warn Matilda about Ms.Trunch's abusive disciplinary methods, which include throwing students out the window  and locking them in the chokey a dark closet with spikes, inspired by an Iron Maiden.

Matilda's teacher miss Jennifer Honey notices the ease with which Matilda answers Middle School Multiplication questions and requests that Matilda be moved to a higher class the principal refuses to move her to a higher class.

 Ms. Honey decides to visit Matilda and talk to her parents about Matilda's learning skills they aren't interested in Matilda's learning at all, the next day at school the principal calls an assembly in the school auditorium where she forced an overweight boy named Bruce Bogtrotter who is also a student at the school to eat a whole chocolate cake, as a punishment for eating a piece of hers.

Bruce eats the piece of cake and then she tells him to eat all of the cake, he starts eating the cake little by little and then you can tell he is getting full and can hardly eat anymore, then Matilda starts cheering him on and saying you can do it! You can do it Bruce! 

That encourages him and he starts eating more of the cake, and then the other students cheer him on and chant his name and he finishes it successfully and then she breaks the plate over Bruce's head to get the students to quiet down, because of the cheering the principal holds the kids late at school.

Matilda doesn't arrive home till later Matilda discovers her dad is under serveillance by the FBI over his illegal dealings Matilda tries to warn them about it, they refuse to believer her, later Agatha discovers the car from Matildas dad is faulty and because of that She locks Matilda in the chokey as punishment.

Miss Honey frees and Lavender puts a Newt in the Principals water glass as revenge, after school Miss. Honey invites Matilda to Tea and she shares her story with her and tells her about her family and reveals to her the principal is her Aunt! 

And Miss. Honey's father has passed on you will find out about that story later.

 He left everything to her Aunt including the house in his will,Matilda and Miss. Honey sneak back to the house to get some of her belongings including a special doll, the principal returns while they are there they fortunately make a narrow escape.later Matilda channels the aggression she gets from her and her principal to practice her powers that she uses to make things move with her mind, she returns to her principals house and is able to retrieve the doll and she does different things to scare the principal right out of her house.

later her principal knows Matilda was there because her red hair ribbon gets stuck in the tree.. You will have to see the movie to find out what happens next with Agatha Trunch! I can tell you it is a happy ending for everyone! And I can tell you that the principal gets so scared that she is never seen again and never comes back to the school! 

I decided to write about this movie because it is a happy part of my childhood, and it is a wonderful movie that the whole family will enjoy and love ! 

It is a wonderful story it really brings you into the characters lives and portrays the story really well! It is like the movie comes to life, and like you are actually in the movie and seeing what the actors are seeing in the movie! 

And I love how Matilda likes to read and how much joy and excitement she gets from the books she reads!

 I have loved to read since I was a little girl, I love all the adventures the books can take you on and it's like you are in a whole new world! 

It really brings out your love of reading….. and the love for your family and friends! 

I remember when I was little I’d love going to book events that my friend Super Reader had… he would teach kids about how reading can be fun and to pick up a book .. he would wear a costume and everything and had a rap about reading a book! It’s something I’ll always remember!  And he’s a wonderful friend to have in life! I’m happy to know him and be friends with him and his family! He has two amazing Girls Madison and Olivia  and they are doing amazing and spectacular things and building an amazing future and success! I know they’ll go very far in their careers and life! 

My favorite scene from the movie is when Bruce eats the chocolate cake, and all his peers are cheering him on and telling him he can do it and he successfully eats the whole cake! 

I also like when Matilda plays different tricks on her principal and she gets frightened and runs out of her house, another funny scene is when Miss.Honey and Matilda are trying to escape her principals house and run into different scenarios that scene makes me laugh a lot! It will make you laugh too!

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good family fun film!
