Realistic if people saw a child that small walking around by themselves they would freak out 😂😂😂.Cute kid though.

[@JustAnotherPerson4U]

Consider the two things... the time period this came out... which I think was the 90s. And when Dahl wrote and published it. I think a kid walking out on their own was rather normal then or at the very least others may've assumed her parents were nearby.

[@priscillajimenez27]

I grew up in the hood in the 90s. You weren't aloud past a couple houses down the road alone

[@oooh19]

@@Adv18yea more people suck now lol it’s truly a messed up world we are dealing with unfortunately

[@linkLoverAG]

​@oooh19 I don't really think it's that more people suck as much as people don't "mind their own business" for good and for bad. Crime and abuse still happened. It just wasn't talked about as much unless it was HUGE news in big cities. Like Sylvia Likens's case. A lot of times abuse cases or stuff like that was seen as you being disrespectful or trying to be rude to family.

[@QuantumSorceress]

I did it as a kid and no one said anything to me lol. This was the 90s

[@doctordl7757]

Emotional Neglect, everyone responds to it differently sometimes people idealize new relationships in hopes of receiving the love they never received from their parents. Others become closed off scared to let people in. Childhood trauma runs deep.

[@wits3392]

Exactly, I was neglected as a child and today I can't stand being around people, I don't see myself getting married or any of those "normal" things, even those I'd like to have children.

[@16Arson]

[@riaynwheeler3635]

I guess Matilda responded by...developing telekinesis

[@Jonathanskits]

That’s how I am. I felt people wanted me to do good in life. But didn’t want to know how I was feeling emotionally about stuff. I love reading. But my fear, is I’ll be reading one day, and someone will take the book, that I’m reading away, or not do their part, in learning to be less clumsy.

[@amylee8969]

Matilda wondering off on her own as a 4 year old, reminds me of Helga from Hey Arnold having to go to preschool by herself b/c her parents were neglectful.

[@brysonhatfield8958]

What do you think her mother would have done, if she came back in the house and saw Matilda fixing pancakes? LMAO

[@Shanethefilmmaker]

At best she'd probably accuse her of trying to burn the house down, but since she was seen later fixing other meals in the movie around, them odds are they put her to work ala Harry Potter.

[@briannahlabelle2458]

She’s flip out

[@lizanna6390]

Probably chase her out of the kitchen in case she burned the house down.

[@cassiewhite879]

Totally

[@emitaramirez161]

Probably would not be surprised 😂

[@VictorHernandez-nj2lo]

Matilda knew what most of us wouldn't know til years later. Any movies or TV shows based on books leave out a lot of scenes &/or minor characters

[@TMDTheMaskDirector-ye5oe]

Like in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone when they left out the bits where Harry is actually training to be a seeker instead of just familiarising himself with the balls used In quidditch.

[@rainbowgirlism]

The movie did a good job overall, but Spoiler alert… ….. …. …… they messed it up at the end when she still had powers… the whole point of the book was that was her intelligence needing an outlet was the cause of those powers..when she was in advanced classes she didn’t have the powers anymore.

[@rootfish2671]

Its😢a different medium and always have to cut book content for run time

[@Jonathanskits]

They do. LOTR. Is a fine example.

[@amylee8969]

Yes. Matilda is the perfect example of this. The book went into much more detail than the movie.

[@meghancardwell3915]

I related to her so hard as a child. “She was alone, and she liked it that way.”

I had my first library card when I was five and my mom took me to the library. It was her best gift to me. I never stopped going to our local library here in the Philippines but it got washed out by the storm surge from Supertyphoon Haiyan. It never got rebuilt.

In his defense, I’ll take my TV over a book any day of the week

[@alishashay17]

Matilda just enjoyed reading books

[@amylee8969]

Mr. Wormwoods tv habits is nothing compared to this generation. Everyone these days is glued to their devices to the point where people aren’t as social as they use to be. That’s why social anxiety is on the rise.

[@RTWLR]

@@amylee8969 At least he can STAND being glued to a device. I had a twitter account for a while, which is now called X for some reason, but had to get rid of it because I noticed all X does is bring out the worst in people

[@lilahjones-jw7oo]

I love this movie. I’ve watched it when like Matilda goes to the children library she laughs like a child and it’s so nice for someone to like her like that.

[@amylee8969]

Kids going to the library underrated and forgotten pleasure. Most kids today in Matilda’s situation would turn to video games, apps on their phone, or tablet games for entertainment.

By the time she was 2 Matilda had learned what most people learn in their own 30s how to take care of herself

[@lithuiwenart2955]

Why have I watched this film so many times, and only just noticed that when her mom puts her in the sink at 0:15, there is a container that clearly reads POISON within reaching distance of the child😶😶. If Matilda were anyone else...she would not have survived 😅

[@KanaidBlack]

And her parents would be in jail for neglect, plus several more years since that would allow the FBI to openly investigate Harry's business

Matilda's parents(her mom mostly), does love her for sure, she just is too lazy to care about her (if that made sense xD). Loved this movie though

[@danelwind2574]

When she won at Bingo she took them to a fancy dinner. She never insults or physically harms her either. It doesn't seem Matilda holds a grudge against her either, after all she gave Matilda room (granted, plenty of room) for her to develop on her own. And in the End, she understood Ms. Honey could give Matilda the kind of life her daughter truly wanted. She was more like a cloud cucko lander than evil.

[@Taco-Belle]

I completely agree. Her mom is definitely caring, in her way. I loved when she agreed to let ms.honey adopt matilda. She obviously wants whats best for her.@@danelwind2574

[@agathatrunchbull7297]

I don't see both parents as evil . Selfish , lazy , inconsiderate, insensitive. Matilda wasn't abused , but emotionally neglected , and treated like nuisance .

[@CheerfullyCynical829]

⁠Those parents should be in jail

[@RTWLR]

If they DIDN’T love her, they wouldn’t be leaving food prepared for her when they left. I know it’s pathetic, but it’s true by the slimmest of margins

[@Oliver-lh4eg]

It would’ve been very hard for mara when her mother died it affected her career life can be very unfair at times. But at least Danny Devito and his wife took care of mara and supported her that was nice of them to do that.

Most of the interior shots were filmed at the University of California’s Doheny Memorial Library as well as the Pasadena Public Library in California. 😊

I don’t know what’s more amazing: The relatability of Matilda mastering the art of independence at 2, which I can tell from personal experience is not exactly something you earn a black belt in until you reach your early 30s, or the poetic hilarity of Danny DeVito playing both the holy narrator and the totally unholy junker car dealer I guess it just shows to go how important it is to have an appreciation for the classics

In the book, Matilda told the librarian that she was being neglected and the librarian decided not to get involved because she felt it was none of her business. Probably for the best considering the foster care system is rampant with abuse and should only be a last resort.

[@ciarangleeson2880]

Mrs Phelps was like the grandmother Matilda never had.

[@amylee8969]

The librarian was nice but didn’t do anything to help Matilda’s situation. She knew that a 6 year old child was wondering off on her own and left alone on a regular basis and didn’t report it. Today, adults get in trouble for witnissing and not reporting.
