Matilda [Special Edition]

The DVD was exactly what I ordered. Came in perfect condition. It plays well in my DVD player. No problems.

Perfect

When Roald Dahl names a sympathetic character Miss Honey, we know he’s having us on. He pushes both good and evil to satirical extremes. What he’s satirizing are childhood fears and fantasies. The British reserve of his narrative style points up the absurdity but also underscores what the stories demonstrate: that bad situations can be manageable if you just trust yourself and keep your wits and know better than to believe Miss Trunchbull’s low opinion of you. Danny De Vito’s brightly colored movie version of Matilda sustains the rampant exaggeration but also achieves its own form of understatement. He does a subtle, impressive job of keeping Miss Honey (Embeth Davidtz) at least as unreal as Matilda and Miss Trunchbull. (It’s a nice touch that Miss Honey’s coolly modulated line readings sound as if she finds Matilda maybe a little bit intimidating.) This movie, with its glorious overstatement, is also a work of fine discretion. It never gets sticky. It’s a children’s picture that doesn’t treat children like fools, and that adults can enjoy too.

I had the longest without watching this movieAbout 15 yrs maybe . My niece is into powers she says and so i thought this was the perfect movie.And well... we have watched it over 5 times since I bought it.

Great movie it's my daughter's favorite movie she watches it on repeat and it brings back some nostalgia I loved this movie as a kid

My grandkids always wanted to stay up late and watch the old re-runs of Matilda.I decided to buy it for them. We use it as an incentive to clean their room, etc.

I have always loved this movie reminds me of the little girl in me..Came in earlier than expected aswell.Do recommend!

The children watching with us were laughing throughout the movie. No foul language and lots of action.

パッケージが写真と違ったのと説明ではNTSCとあったのにPALだったplaystation2の表示があったのでプレステでは見れるかなと開封DVDデッキでは再生不可PALでもPCで見れると聞いた事があるのでPCで再生初めは中々動かなかったけど、途中からスムーズに動き出し見ることができたPCでも見れなかったら返品しようかと思った
