My opinion on the movie "Matilda"

   (After the Narrator's story)

Моё мнение о фильме "Матильда"

"Вчера я взяла младшую сестру в кинотеатр посмотреть фильм “Матильда”. Это довольно старый детский фильм. Я могу сказать, что это семейный фильм тоже, потому, что думаю, взрослые могут наслаждаться им так же, как и дети.  Фильм появился на экране в 1996 году. Его режиссером был Дэнни Де Вито, известный американский актер, который снялся в этом фильме. Уилсон сыграла ведущую роль - роль Матильды.  Дэвид Ньюман написал музыку к фильму.    

“Матильда” - это по-настоящему приятный фильм. Он захватывающий  и трогательный.  Ты наслаждаешься каждой его минутой.  Это современная американская экранная версия одноименного романа Роальда Даля. Матильда Вормвуд (Mara Wilson) - очень умная и талантливая девушка.Одна из больших вещей, касающихся её, это её любовь к книгам.

Ее семья не понимают её и не заинтересована в её желаниях. Ее отец, продает старые машины, он отказывается покупать ей книги. Матильда чувствует себя очень одинокой. В возрасте четырех лет она берет дело в свои руки и начинает посещать библиотеку, и читать много книг. Хотя Матильда ещё слишком маленькая, она просит родителей отправить ее в школу, и в конце концов они согласились сделать это. В школе начинают происходить совершенно необычные вещи. Матильда узнает, что она может перемещать объекты. Эти замечательные телекинетические ей наказывать страшную и жестокую школьную начальницу мисс Транчбол, которая терроризирует учеников. В фильме Матильда считает, что когда человеку плохо, он заслуживает получить урок.  В фильме “Матильда”есть два типа взрослых. Мистер и миссис Вормвуд, родители девочки, и Транчбол, как дети называют ее, - неприятные люди. Они довольно жестокие и безжалостные.  Но учительница Матильды, Мисс Дженнифер Хани, является, напротив, добрым человеком, и она быстро обнаруживает интеллектуальные Матильды. Девушка развивает теплую дружбу с Мисс Хани.Я думаю, что “Матильда” - один из лучших фильмов, которые я когда-либо видела.  Игра актеров  потрясающая, спецэффекты отличные, музыка хорошая.Но самое главное в фильме то, что он заставляет задуматься и развивать наше воображение и лучше понимать окружающий нас мир."

"Yesterday I took my younger sister to the cinema to see the movie “Matilda”. It's a pretty old children's movie. I can say it's a family movie too, because I think adults can enjoy it as much as children.  The film appeared on the screen in 1996. It was directed by Danny De Vito, a famous American actor who starred in this film. Wilson played a leading role -  the role of Matilda.  David Newman wrote the music for the film.    

"Matilda" is a really nice film. It is exciting and touching.  You're enjoying every minute of it.  This is a modern American screen version of the novel with the same name by Roald Dahl. Matilda Wormwood (Mara Wilson) is a very smart and talented girl.One of the big things about her is her love for books.

Her family doesn't understand her and isn't interested in her desires. Her father sells old cars, he refuses to buy her books. Matilda feels very lonely. At the age of four, she takes matters into her own hands and begins to visit the library and read many books. Although Matilda is still too young, she asks her parents to send her to school, and eventually they agreed to do so. In school there begin to occur unusual things. Matilda learns that she can move objects. These remarkable telekinetic abilities help her to punish terrible and cruel school headmistress miss Trunchbull that terrorized students. In the film, Matilda believes that when a person is bad, he deserves to be taught a lesson.  There are two types of adults in 'Matilda'.   Mr. and Mrs. Wormwood, the parents of the girl, and Trenbol, as the kids call her, are unpleasant people. They are quite cruel and ruthless.  But Matilda's teacher, Miss Jennifer Hani is, on the contrary, a kind person, and she quickly discovers Matilda's intellectual abilities. The girl develops a warm friendship with Miss Hani.

I think “Matilda " is one of the best movies I've ever seen.  The acting is amazing, the special effects are great, the music is good. But the most important thing in the film is that it makes us think and helps to develop our imagination and better understand the world around us."
