But or Rent - Matilda - watc

This film adaptation of a Roald Dahl work tells the story of Matilda Wormwood (Mara Wilson), a gifted girl forced to put up with a crude, distant father (Danny DeVito) and mother (Rhea Perlman). Worse, Agatha Trunchbull (Pam Ferris), the evil principal at Matilda's school, is a terrifyingly strict bully. However, when Matilda realizes she has the power of telekinesis, she begins to defend her friends from Trunchbull's wrath and fight back against her unkind parents.

Fun fact, the woman who plays Danny DeVito's wife in this movie is his real life wife.

Also, the girl who plays Matilda, Mara Wilson's mother was sick and dying during filming. Danny paid out of his pocket to get an express copy of the movie so her mother could see the movie upon it's completion.

Fun Facts: 1) The elderly librarian is played by Ron Howard's mother, Jeanne Howard who was a stage actress and acting teacher 2) The actress playing the Trunchbull, Pam Ferris, was also Aunt Marge in The Prisoner of Azkaban.

Mandatory fact that you will find under every matilda reaction:
During filming, Mara's (matilda) mother had breast cancer, so Danny Devito and his wife took care of Mara. Her mother even passed away a few months before the movie was released, but Danny Devito was able to get an early copy to show Maras mother in hospital.

There's no sequel to Matilda. It was adapted from the novel. The Matilda movie musical is incredible and adapted from the stage musical. Highly recommend it.

During the Living Room Scene, Mara was scared to get up on the table and dance. So, Danny had the entire cast and crew dance along with her behind the camera to make her feel better about it. Great Guy, a true role model.

With her sweet-sad face, Mara Wilson is a perfect Matilda.

You mentioned that when you cry you get a migraine. I also have that issue, but I was told that it’s mainly caused by you trying to stifle your crying. When you do that you may hold your breathe and straining to hold tears back. That deprives your body of oxygen and the straining causes inflammation around brain and neck. That is what causes the migraine. Best thing to do is allow yourself to cry. (You may still have a migraine if you have an extended bawling session from an argument or something) but taking deep breaths when you cry and it will calm you and prevent the migraine. Also get a glass of cold water to cool you off and help blood flow and shrink inflammation. Hope that helps. I hate migraines and know that it can really put a stop to your day.

As someone who grew up with an abusive father this film always resonated incredibly strongly with me. I didn't even realise why until I was a teenager when I cut contact with him, but this film felt like it was there for me in a way.

Pam Ferris nailed this role. she was actually scary

Growing up i used to find comfort in watching this movie at my grandmothers house whenever i got a break from my abusive living situation at home.

As the story goes, contrary to his character Devito was a favorite of the kids on set while filming. He took a personal interest in the well-being of all his child actors and they actually had a reunion of sorts years later in the form of a tea party to celebrate the re-master on BluRay.

Its hard not to love Miss Trunchbull just because the actress did such an insanely good job playing her.

My mother wasn't cruel (my dad was) but they both often left me on my own all day. My mom did because she had to work or we wouldn't eat, and my dad did because he just didn't give a f. My mom used to make him watch me but then he'd take me out wherever he went and then just leave me somewhere, so she kinda learned it was safer for me to be alone at home instead of alone on a random sidewalk or in the middle of the woods.
It's crazy how a kid's sense of danger and what not to do when left alone can kick in. I remember knowing not to leave the area my dad would leave me in, or else he might not find me again, even though he never once told me this. It's like a survival instinct or something. But I wasn't nearly as smart as Matilda lol I could not cook for myself.

When I was a kid, I watched this movie alone a lot, so this movie has a bitter sweet nostalgia to it for me, watching it with my owm daughter makes me cry. Ms.Honey is forever my role model as a mom 😊

Matilda is a very special character in this movie.

Here's some other trivia about this story: In the book, Matilda's powers were like pent up brainpower from how her advanced mind wasn't being challenged enough in her life (she was intellectually bored, basically), so when she gains a better life that lets her freely practice her intellect, her powers subside.

@adrianasenchantedgarden8020 2 years ago

Matilda was a book in 1988

@chelseyhenkes8685 2 years ago

Funny you mention Matilda being a Jedi, Daisy Ridley (Rey from Star Wars) said this was one of her favorite movies as a child

Morgan Freeman was in "The Shawshank Redemption."

43:07 For a second it hits her "YOU ARE THE ONLY DAUGHTER I ever had MATILDA, AND I NEVER UNDERSTOOD YOU''. the tone of her voice and the words made me tear up every time.. idk why
