Matilda (film) - V Video

Matilda is a 1996 film directed by Danny DeVito. It is based on Roald Dahl's children's novel. The film was released by TriStar Pictures.
Synopsis

Right from birth, Matilda Wormwood different from the rest of her family. Even as a baby, she showed remarkable intelligence by writing her name in spinach she had spilled on the kitchen counter. Her parents and older brother, however, are shown to be incredibly cruel and morally-corrupt people: Her father, Harry, sells used cars for unfair prices while her mother, Zinnia, is unemployed and spends her days playing bingo. Matilda loves reading from an early age, which her father disapproves of, and he punishes her by sending her to her room simply for being smart. Matilda takes her revenge by pouring her father's hair oil down the sink, and replacing it with peroxide, turning his hair blonde. Later, she puts glue in his hat, so it sticks to his head.

Matilda is enrolled at Crunchem Hall where children are terrorized by the principal, Miss Agatha Trunchbull, an ex-Olympic champion. Matilda learns from another girl, Hortensia, that the Trunchbull's acts of terrorism include throwing a boy out the window for eating two M&M's during class, and locking kids in the chokey, which is known as a Iron Maiden, described by Hortensia, is "a tall narrow hole in the wall behind a door"; the kids are forced to stand in a drippy pipe with jagged edges, and the walls have broken glass and nails sticking out. Matilda asks about parents' actions, but Hortensia claims that despite the clear cuts and injuries from Miss Trunchbull's abuse, her parents refuse to believe any of it. Miss Trunchbull then proceeds to throw a young girl over a fence by her pigtails for no apparent reason, but she lands safely on the other side. To Matilda's relief, her teacher, Miss Jennifer Honey, is quite the opposite; a kind and caring woman with a dark secret that will come to light over time. On her first day, Matilda displays her remarkable intelligence by getting a big product right (13 x 379 = 4,927). Miss Honey is amazed by Matilda's knowledge, but when she suggests to Miss Trunchbull that Matilda should be moved into an older class, Miss Trunchbull refuses. Later, when Miss Honey visits the Wormwoods, she is dismayed by Harry and Zinnia's lack of respect for education.

One day, Miss Trunchbull discovers that the car Matilda's father sold her is a useless hunk of junk, and she takes her anger out on Matilda by locking her in the chokey.
