No guys, I need to stop and talk about something in this movie and how fucking revolutionary it was; something that I haven’t seen in a movie before or since.

This is a movie about a kid who leaves her birth family.

Not a kid who find that they have a secret lineage or something that allows them to find their ‘true family’ – this is a movie about a kid whose true birth family is made up of bad people. So she gets out. And that is played as the right thing to do. She isn’t punished for it or made to feel bad about ‘abandoning her family’. There isn’t an underlying ‘but they’re your family and you have to love them’ or ‘they’re your family and they love you even if they don’t show it well or do hurtful things’ message of the kind that I see OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER in media. Matilda gets out and lives happily ever after because of it.

We need a million more movies like this to counter the metric shit ton of movies that directly counter this message.

 #sometimes the family you start with isn’t a good one #but you can find your own #family is not absolute #blood is not absolute

not to mention, Miss Honey is an abuse survivor herself (and in the book, she’s only 23 years old)

they both got out. they both became each other’s happy ending.

do u ever see stuff customized for little kids and get blown away by how small……children are like…….those little little tiny chairs in preschools…..so small……they sit in those and do their work…….what does someone so small have going on…I know it’s important and they’re working hard…..I love them & I love those little chairs

This is not my first kid and yet I’m still floored by how tiny baby shirts are. Like… omg. I had one of these before!? Was the first one really that small? Really? AND I’M HAVING ANOTHER VERY SMALL PERSON!?

every time i see baby sneakers in the shoe store I am speechless I stop in my tracks. baby boots? have you seen the little timbs they make for teeny feet I’m going to SCREAM

The first time I saw newborn sized jeans (they had an elastic waistband) I almost cried. They had tiny working pockets and I was so shocked. These tiny babies with their little baby hands don’t even have things to put into their pockets and yet they have working pockets but I, a grown woman, have to check to make sure jeans have working pockets before I can buy them

you don’t know…..babies have a lot of things to put in pockets like…….their Very Small Hands……a single ravioli……

Babies have pockets for one single, damp, cheeto.

YEAH!!!

If someone tells you to stop ripping on them, even if you’re joking, fucking listen. That shit gets tiring doesn’t matter if it’s a fucking joke no one wants to hear negative shit all the time.

Some of y’all think you can be rude asf all the time bc you’re “just joking” but you’re seriously wearing people down.
