Matilda : Movie review


Matilda is a 1996 American children's fantasy comedy film directed, produced and narrated by Danny DaVito, who also starred in the lead role. The film is based on Road Dahl's novel of the same name. (Wikipedia)


'Matilda' a story of a wonderful little girl. She was very eager to gain the knowledge. The story is moves around her life. If we talked about the spirit of the life, in that case Matilda got the worst parents and she have many problems. 

 Wonderful teacher vs. worst parents: good thing is that Matilda got a precious teacher Miss Jennifer Honey. She has an outrageous parents and a despotic school principal Miss Trunchbull, an evil personality, who tourtur her students in a very despotic way.


Matilda's love for book and learning as opposed the greed, anti-intellectualism and consumerism of her parents. She can solve the most difficult math problem in a very few minutes.

The dialogues are brilliant, the humor is bold and subtle also. The best thing is all the characters are archetypal. They creates their particular image. Matilda as an intelligent girl she knows that how to behave in such kind of situation.

"I'm smart your dumb, I'm big your little, I'm right your wrong and there's nothing you can do about it!"

 It is very catchphrase type of a dialog, how everyone can insults a little girl. Matilda's character is very impressive one, movie show us that a little girl can show courage and get herself out of your bad situation.

The observation is that the bad people deserves a punishment for their evil deeds like Miss Trunchbull got punishment at end of the movie.

I want to remember this movie because it celebrates Matilda's love for books, this is one the best story and best children movie ever.

My favourite book

 My favourite book is Haresh Dholakiya's 'અંગદ નો પગ' which is about relationship between student and teacher and Chetan Bhagat's 'Half Girlfriend', which is converted in a movie.....

Thank you.....

Review of the play and presentation given by Alpa Pond, which was very well presented. It is written by Priyam Jani and directed by Rishit Jhaveri.               By  watching this play I have got two ideas Drama & film and cinema v/s theatre. The plot of the play is about cinema v/s theatre and great bond between directer and actor. actor wanted to become a successful actor and this how he uses the theatre to as a step of success. there is very nice message in this play that we have to keep balance between our personal life and professional life. and the directer doesn't make balance between personal life and professional life. directer was very punctual and he wanted that everyone should follow his rule but it is quit imposs...
