| True, lowwriter, Mathilda is also tortured by her parents in the stage version, but, even so, the movie musical doubles down on Trunchbull’s torture to a stomach-turning degree. What did you think of this movie version? | |

| I liked the movie very much. I thought the stage musical was too long. But I heard the British production was better than the Broadway version. | |

| I liked Matilda the movie a lot. I thought the characterization of Matilda went a long way to balancing out the cruelties in the dtoryline, primarily because she was so very confident and clever. I thought Emma Thompson was very brave in allowing herself to be so vicious and unattractive. (And she is quite the beauty but gave it all up.) When I saw the musical, I found it distracting and wrong that Trunchbull was played by a male actor. And I could understand very little of the lyrics in the songs, especially of the children. In the film, the lyrics were ever so clear. When there’s a baddie in a children’s story/movie, I appreciate he/she being really bad, not cute. The story deals with vicious corporal punishment and neglect. So I like it being real, the way the film was. |
