Matilda The Musical Movie Description:
Roald Dahl's Matilda, simply known as Matilda or Matilda the Musical, is a stage musical with music and lyrics by Tim Minchin and a book by Dennis Kelly, based on the 1988 novel Matilda by Roald Dahl. The musical's narrative centres on Matilda Wormwood, a precocious 5-year-old girl with the gift of telekinesis, who loves reading, overcomes obstacles caused by her family and school, and helps her teacher to reclaim her life. After a twelve-week trial run staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) at Stratford-upon-Avon from November 2010 to January 2011, it received its West End premiere on 24 November 2011 at the Cambridge Theatre and its Broadway premiere on 11 April 2013 at the Shubert Theatre.
Matilda the Musical has received widespread critical acclaim and box-office popularity, winning seven 2012 Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical-at the time, the most such awards ever won by a single show. Cleo Demetriou, Kerry Ingram, Eleanor Worthington Cox and Sophia Kiely shared a Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical. 10-year-old Eleanor Worthington became the youngest winner of the award in any category. At the 2013 Tony Awards, the show won five awards, including the Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical for Dennis Kelly.
A film adaptation was released on 25 November 2022 in the United Kingdom, followed by the United States on 9 December 2022.

The girl in the red beret isn’t a bully. She’s probably the only confident rebel in the school before Matilda came along. The beret is a sign of rebellion, because the others wear hats. So are the buttons on her collar and the mismatched socks. In “school song,” she’s the only one not rushing to class even after Trunchbull threatened the kids. The reason why she was like “Oi new kids,” is because she was so over the abuse from Trunchbull, and so used to it, she’s warning Matilda and Lavender about everything at the school, hence the start of “school song.” The best part about her character is that she (along with Bruce) is leading the revolt at the end of the movie. She’s seen on top of the toppled statue dancing and leading everybody on, and it’s great because she’s been waiting for ages to do this, just didn’t have the power to until Matilda. She has a name in the books, Hortensia, but it’s never mentioned in the movie.

1:07 The whole opening number is in reference to how Roald Dahl began the book. The 90s movie basically summarised it with "Most parents believe that their children are the most beautiful creatures to ever grace the human race. Others take a less emotional approach." The book started with "It's a funny thing about parents. Even when their child is the most disgusting little blister you can imagine, they still believe that he or she is wonderful." Then he talks about how sometimes we come across parents who become so blinded by adoration that they convince themselves that their child is a genius, adding "Of course there's nothing wrong with this, it's simply the way of the world. It isn't until they start talking about their revolting offspring that we start shouting 'Bring us a basin! We're going to be sick!'", then reflects on how much the teachers must have to put up with all the twaddle that parents come up with about their children, the reports he personally would write for the 'stinkers' in his class if he was a teacher, and then gave us his reason for talking about all of this - the fact that occasionally we come across parents who take the opposite line and who show no interest in their children at all, observing that "these of course are far worse than the doting ones."

The girl in the red beret was the older kid who explained the school in the other movie. She's bitter but not a bully. I think the implication is she broke her arm rebelling against Trunchbull and has been in the chokey multiple times. Hence why she is the onky one calmly walking to class late while everyone scatters on Matilda's first day of school

For me, the song "Quiet" seemed to represent dissociation, at least for someone who dissociates. I could be wrong but the way she describes it especially with her talking about how everyone is shouting and she just wants it to stop, it seems to fit what it feels like to dissociate.

@HurricaneHawk Жыл бұрын

Another take I've heard (and one that I personally think has some real weight) is that Matilda is on the spectrum and the song is a way of showing the way that she knows that she's different but doesn't know how to express it properly, which is a very common thing with those on the spectrum. Tim Minchin's daughter is also on the spectrum and people have been saying he clearly wrote that song with her in mind. As someone who both worked with individuals with Autism and who also has previously been diagnosed with Asperger's, this song genuinely struck a chord with me too.

As a massive fan of the stage musical, I genuinely think this is honestly one of the best movie musical adaptations ever made. The one big cut I had an issue with was the deletion of Mrs. Wormwood's song and her whole subplot about being a championship dancer (which is a highlight of the West End/Broadway version), but other than that the movie stays incredibly true to the spirit of the stage version and does a really clever job with the things they had to tweak to make the transition from stage to screen. The litmus test for me was whether or not the movie would make me bawl like a baby like I do over the stage version, and it passed that test with flying colors at all the right moments. The ending song is a new addition for the movie, but it fits so well with the theme and blends in great with the other songs in a way that not every new movie musical song does. Also, I think Alisha Weir's Matilda is now my favorite version of that character I've seen in anything. I still adore Mara Wilson's, but Alisha's portrayal is honestly like a more empowered version of myself as a child, and _she_ was the character I needed to see more of at a young age. Someone who was introverted, bookish, overly observant, and exceptionally creative, with a lot of righteous anger at the injustices of life simmering just below the surface, who could turn all that quiet inner strength and creativity into a superpower. I've spent a lot of time feeling like I'm less valuable to society because those qualities aren't generally considered "strong" or of real practical use to the world - this Matilda in particular proves otherwise, and I hope other kids who are like how I was growing up feel just as empowered by her as my adult self did watching this film.

'The Big Friendly School' is a reference to another of Roald Dahl's books, The BFG (short for The Big Friendly Giant). There was a great animated film based on it back in 1989. Roald Dahl is one of Britain's most famous, beloved and prolific authors, and there's so many films based on his books: Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (hence the Wonka Bar reference in the opening titles), The BFG, James and the Giant Peach, The Witches, etc. Most kids in the UK know him, and his books, we grew up on them, and so watching reactions to this film from people in the US, who don't seem to know him or that all these films are actually based on his books, has been really fascinating.

I loved this movie, I’d never heard the musical before it was brilliant! And the Wonka bar opening is a part of the Roald Dahl logo / brand. He’s the author of both books. My guess is they went the English route with this movie because both Roald Dahl and the musical are English and as far as I know, with the odd exception, Roald Dahl’s books are set in England. He actually lived locally to my parents, even opened my primary school back in the 80’s and he apparently based the Trunchbull on a woman who used to work in a nearby shop me and my siblings worked in as teens and 20 somethings. My Nan actually rescued a toddler sized sofa his family left out in the rain to be tossed away back when she and my aunt ran a nursery. I always thought that was cool. Mr Bean actually used to frequent the shop we worked in before he moved away. I used to babysit his neighbour’s kids. There’s a weird lifesize cardboard cut out of him in one of his neighbour’s gardens which is a bit bizarre though.

@robertbrookes2000 Жыл бұрын

It's a funny thing with Dahl, as a lot of his originally English stories have been Americanised over the years: Matilda & The Witches (remake) were both strongly set in America. Then for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory they casted Brits and Americans to give a strange in-between, since the books were printed differently (the money Charlie finds is changed). But for Matilda the Musical, I'm glad we stuck to the stage & book and kept it so British.

One of my siblings served him a couple of times though but no one was supposed to ask for his autograph as he was a local so everyone knew not to make a fuss. I really treasure those little connections to Roald Dahl x I adored his stories then and now. I actually just went to the Roald Dahl museum again for my last birthday x Something I’ve always found funny is I spent a few years in California when I was younger, we moved there for my dads work for a time, and while I heard stories of celebrity sightings, my only experiences seeing or being in some way connected to well known people all happened in England. But most of the time it would be friends and family who had the interesting experiences. My stories tended more to be, “mum, did you know Emilia Clarke went to my school years before I did?” or, “my friend met Emma Watson at a party!” where my cousins who went to the school beside mine, actually attended alongside Emma Watson back in the Harry potter days. I remember how exciting everyone found it! They have some amazing stories! In one of the few I was in, back the early days of Facebook she accepted our friend requests and we were thrilled! 😂 We were younger teens so it was very exciting to us at the time. But with all that I only ever saw her once. I was 15, walking through the city centre to catch a bus home after school, it must have been later in the year as it was dark at 5:30, and I saw Emma Watson walking down the road I presumed for a night out with a huge gaggle of friends around her. It was very quick. All I remember thinking at the time was how short I thought she was (I’m a bit taller) and that she had really big hair which was the style back then. I was awestruck. I felt a bit foolish for it but I didn’t dwell on it, I was too excited to get home and tell my mum! 😂 x Not very exciting memories to anyone but me but some novel and fun ones, made more fun because my family still lived close enough to share them with each other and play off out collective excitement about things that felt important back then 😊🥰 Apologies for the nostalgia tour! 😂x

It's really hard to explain, but it's very cool. The translation of When I Grow Up from stage to screen was also well done. In the show, the number is centered around a swing set. And the kids soaring over the audience on swings is a magical moment of theater. Using planes instead captured the essence of the number really well.

I think in the musical, Matilda has the ability to psychically connect to spirits, particularly Magnus the escapologist, which is how she knows the details of his story. It's funny that they added that, since she originally only used her telekinesis to make Trunchbull think she was haunted by his ghost. Here, it seems like his ghost was really involved, probably following his daughter Jenny around. Matilda starts telling the story right after they meet for the first time. It could also be that Matilda has some kind of telepathy and got the story directly from Jenny, but I think the spirit connection fits better with what the movie shows.

@fetacheeselover Жыл бұрын

They didn’t “remake the movie into a musical”, this is an adaption of the already exsisting stage musical of Matilda. wich is why it’s very different from the original movie- it’s not a remake of it. It’s a movie adaption of the broadway musical lol.

@AntonioCruz-jp4bh Жыл бұрын

Roald Dahl wrote Matilda, as well as Charlie in the chocolate factory. That wonka logo at the beginning is a new addition to Dahl film adaptations. He also wrote the book “BFG” or “Big Friendly Giant” which is paid tribute to as the “Big Friendly School” in this film. I love this musical so much, the stage adaptation it’s based on it one of my favorite and it’s such a well made stage to screen adaptation. I hope more people react to this!

The odd 'no giraffes' rule, which comes back at the end with the giraffe at the school surely has to be a reference to 'The Giraffe, the Pelly and me'? Another of Dahl's.

4:36 The original book is set in England. Roald Dahl was an English writer - well that is he lived most of his life and did most of his work in England. But he was born in Wales and both his parents were Norwegian so I don't know which nationality he identified himself as (Christian Bale was raised in Wales but both his parents were English and he identifies as English).

Mello, This is the first video of yours that I have ever seen. Absolutely loved the reactions to everything and your comedic timing is absolutely perfect. My favorite Musical is In The Heights. It was written by Lin Manuel Miranda (The same guy that wrote Hamilton) and is about this small neighborhood in New York City and all the stuff that the people in the community go through. Both shows having the same writer, it has a lot of similarity to Hamilton with the musicality aspect. The musical premiered on Broadway in 2008 and received a movie release in June of 2021. There are some things that were changed for the movie to be less politically charged and better fit the current social climate of the time, but both iterations of the musical are absolutely amazing. My favorite book series is a large tossup between the Inheritance Cycle which is Written by Christopher Paolini, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians / Heroes Of Olympus which is written by Rick Riordan.

As a thespian, I’ve watched a lot of musicals, and I’ve performed in some. Matilda the musical has to be one of favorites, and I really love it makes the connection between her and Miss Honey better. The Big Friendly School is another reference to Dahl’s other work The BFG. Other Dahl works you check out besides the BFG are James and the Giant Peach and The Witches (1990) I can’t wait for you to see Hairspray, and if you were wanting more musicals I highly recommend these: Mamma Mia, Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Sound of Music, Sister Act 1-2, Annie (1982 and 1999), Mary Poppins, The Wizard of Oz, The Wiz, Cats (1998), Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1999), and Rodger and Hammerstein’s Cinderella (1997).

Yes, Ronald Dahl wrote the children's novel Matilda in 1988. Hence the movie and the musical were based on the novel. That's why they are different but still carry the main events. The screenplay of the 1996 film was written by Nicholas Kazan and Robin Swicord. The script for the Broadway musical, which is called the musical's book, was written by Dennis Kelly with music by Tim Minchin. Musical productions of Matilda: 2011 West End 2013 Broadway 2015 US tour 2018 UK tour The Netflix film came out in 2022. Dennis Kelly who write the script for the stage musical also wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation of the stage musical along with Tim Minchin. Of course, Ronald Dahl has been in all the credits because he was tge original author of the 1988 children's novel. Dennis Kelly's script for the Broadway musical is much different from the 1996 screenplay by Robin Swicord and Njcholas Kazan. Instead of thinking it as the musical based on the movie, it's better to think of it as the film musical based on the Broadway musical that was based on the original novel which also had a 1996 film. Ronald Dahl is also famous for writing the book James and The Giant Peach.
