Matilda in the book was a smart, angry little girl who finds she has a power and uses her power to help her teacher. The teacher has almost nothing. The actor who plays Matilda does a good job at expressing these feelings and acting like a smart little girl.
Matilda's mum and dad... From the beginning you can tell by their tone and looks on their face how much they dislike one of the children; the one named Matilda.
The brother is just like his parents. He is dumb and dislikes Matilda and the actor that played him does a great job being dumb and being mean to Matilda.
Ms. Honeysuckle, the teacher, loves Matilda in the book and takes an instant liking to her. They become best friends. Ms. Honeysuckle knows about Matilda's power and tells her not to use it. The actor follows these instructions.
The principal is mean and grouchy. He is mad at Matilda's dad and punishes Matilda for it. Perfect acting.
Music is good. It is happy at the right moments and timed up perfectly.
I agree! The music was paired perfectly with the action within the film--excellent observation.
ReplyDeleteKat, I can't wait for you to see MATILDA THE MUSICAL! We will then talk about comparing the novel, the film, and the play. Ann
