Matilda

“Matilda” is a wonderful movie directed by Danny De Vito and it is about a little girl who is far too good to be true. Matilda is a girl with extraordinary brainpower. Before she starts school, she is left all alone in the big empty house. Meanwhile, her father goes to his horrid used car shop, and her mother goes to play bingo.

At age five-and-a-half she's solving double-digit multiplication problems and reading Dickens. She likes to read and study. So when in the morning Matilda's mom goes out to play bingo and her dad goes to his business with her brother going to school, Matilda goes to the library to read. She wants to go to school but her parents don’t even notice that she is old enough to go there; they still think she is four.

Miss Honey gets her home back, and Miss Honey gets to be the principal of Crunchem Hall. The Wormwood family has to flee the country because the FBI are aware of Mr. Wormwood's car dealings. During a last scene, Matilda gets her parents to sign adoption papers, so she can stay with Miss Honey forever.

rdinary school. Crunchem hall, which even though hosts an ordinary teaching staff, is controlled by the iron fist of Miss Trunchbull. Miss Trunchball used to participate in the Scottish sport, throwing the hammer. At Crunchem Hall she has brought this technique to the classroom, throwing students who do not fit with her requests. There is the "chokey" in that school, which is a dark box, sized room, which students are locked in.
