Matilda is a movie that I have seen many times throughout my life, it never bores me and I have always found her very creative, the songs and her way of being make me laugh a lot. I always found her witty, curious and a bit hyperactive, she had a hard time sitting still.
You're right about her being gifted, she practically raised herself and her learning ability was great, definitely a lovable character.
I thought it was very brave how Matilda helped overcome the abusive relationship Miss Honey had with Tronchatoro, since they both knew each other they fit together perfectly making for a very nice happy ending. Regarding how the shots were used I hadn't noticed, quite interesting that point, now I will look at it in a different way.
Greetings and excellent review! 👋
When was the last time you saw it? I've been going through some childhood films as of late discovering that some are better than I remember, also some much worse, haha.
