Let the magical little girl Matilda tell you that the only way to deal with the injustice of life is to resist.

June 5438+10, went to see the musical Matilda. The story is a simple fairy tale, but it contains great energy.

Not all parents will like their children, such as Matilda's parents, who are simple-minded and stingy, and prefer watching TV to reading books; After Matilda went to school, the principal of the school, Ms. Chuanchibu, was also a person who didn't like children. She believes that only physical training and punishment can consume children's exuberant energy and make them have no time to play pranks. In this life, Matilda, a talented little girl, did not give in or compromise, but resisted and struggled in her own way.

Matilda is a children's literature work written by roald dahl, a famous British children's literature writer, in 1988, and won the British Children's Book Award in the same year. Roald dahl's works are unique in conception, imaginative and humorous. His representative works include The Kind Giant, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Witch, Matilda, James and The Big Xiantao.

In 2000? 1998 During the World Book Festival, roald dahl beat J.K. Rowling, the mother of Harry Potter, in the readers' vote and became the first "my favorite writer", which showed readers' love for roald dahl.

Looking through roald dahl's life history, this master of children's literature has a colorful and legendary life: he was a pilot, experienced World War II, and was the screenwriter of 1967 007 film "Lei Yin Valley in 2007". His wife is Patricia Neal, an Oscar-winning movie star. He also taught himself to be an art collector, connoisseur, antique furniture expert, wine expert and orchid expert.

In fairy tales, there is usually a core spirit. What roald dahl wants to tell children in Matilda is courage, unyielding, kindness and resistance. Just like the lyrics in the play: "Even if you know that life is unfair, it doesn't mean you have to endure unfairness."

The growth stage of children is the formation stage of self-cognition. Imagine, if your parents always dislike themselves, will you doubt yourself?

Matilda's parents are vulgar and snobbish. They think that books have nothing to read, they only make people stupid, and TV is more interesting. When Matilda was born, her father asked the doctor why she was not a boy and always called her a boy at home.

Parents are children's first teachers, and their words and deeds and cognitive evaluation have a very important influence on children's self-cognition, self-identity and self-development. If parents always deny their children, children will have low self-identity and lack self-confidence. When they encounter mistakes, they will deny themselves first, and children will continue to influence others subtly.

The idea of son preference has a long history in China. As a result, many baby girls were killed. Statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics show that by the end of 20 19, there were 30.49 million more men than women.

Girls who grow up under the idea of son preference will have a wrong understanding of themselves, such as thinking that they are not important, girls are not important, boys are the most important, and so on. And they will mistakenly pursue Excellence and success in the hope of getting the love and recognition of their parents. They may also care too much about their younger brother and become "helpers" who pay for their younger brother regardless of the cost. After having a daughter-in-law, they may also prefer sons to daughters without knowing it.

"Self-identity" is a psychological concept put forward by American psychologist Erickson, that is, the establishment of self-identity. Only when a person has formed a "self-identity" will he know what kind of person he is, what kind of relationship he has with others, his own goal direction and so on.

Fortunately, although Matilda has such parents, her self-awareness is very clear, and she has no inferiority in the face of family neglect. Every time her father says "boy" to her, she will firmly refute "I am a girl" immediately. She is not influenced by her family background.

In order to take care of young readers, Matilda sets the plot conflict as reading and TV, although we all know that books are better than TV. But in our daily life, we often encounter such a situation: what we like is not what others like, so they ask us to give up our hobbies.

This is also part of self-identity. Everyone grows up in the process of continuous understanding and development. The important thing is not to obey others, but to listen to your heart, stick to yourself and like what you like.

Learning to know ourselves correctly and find ourselves from other people's voices is a course we have to learn all our lives.

Ms. Chuanqibu, the headmaster, dislikes children very much and thinks they are troublemakers, blisters and maggots. If she hears any trouble, she thinks it's a naughty child's disobedience trick. For these, she chose to punish them, thinking that only in this way can they be remolded and reborn, and therefore the children are more afraid of her and her little black room.

In the face of injustice and oppression, many people think of "forbearing for a while and taking a step back", but in fact, the other party will not put away the harm because of your tolerance and kindness. On the contrary, being too kind will be regarded as a kind of weakness, and the other party will only be more reckless, and as a result, they will get hurt.

In Matilda, although our Matilda is small, she has her own opinions, dares to say no to injustice and actively resists. When she was treated unfairly by her father, she changed his hair tonic into hair dye and put glue on his hat.

When President Chuanchibu constantly threatened and tried to punish other children, Matilda not only clearly realized that it was unfair, but also tried to help those students who suffered unfair treatment.

Ms. Hani, Matilda's teacher, is gentle and kind, but she also bears everything cowardly. Principal Chuanqibu is her aunt. She has been bullying and squeezing her, which not only indirectly killed her parents, but also occupied the house left by her parents and made her work by herself to pay alimony for many years. If it weren't for Matilda's help, maybe she would have been living under this oppression.

However, although our clever Matilda has super powers, in a very clever way, President Chuanqibu was exposed and fled in a hurry. I have to say that the IQ crush of talented girls is very successful, all of which is attributed to Matilda's unyielding and brave.

The animated film Nezha is actually about the same theme. Faced with the fate of the "magic pill" that has already been set, and the prejudice that always exists in the villagers' hearts, Nezha was too concerned about other people's views on him as a "monster" from the beginning, and later realized that "it is up to him to decide whether the magic is immortal" and "other people's views are bullshit". He finally realized that if fate was unfair, he would fight him to the end.

In the face of all kinds of seemingly destiny takes a hand's adversities, tenacity, courage and resistance in human nature are always more powerful weapons, and nothing is static.

Although Matilda suffered from these things that should not have been suffered since she was a child: parents' demeaning discrimination and the headmaster's malicious attack, she still maintained a kind heart.

When her father cheated the mafia and was chased, she chose to forgive them and help them, because her father finally admitted that she was a girl instead of a boy.

When classmates and teacher Hanni were bullied by the headmaster, she stepped forward and used her wisdom and super power to help and save them.

Tagore wrote: The world kissed me with pain, but I responded with a song.

Mathilde, despite being kissed by the world, chose to return with kindness. This unyielding, brave, kind and gentle little girl, even if she finally loses her super power, I believe she can still change her life, take control of her life and make herself the master of life, instead of living in someone else's script, because she has a kind and firm heart.

Everyone came out of the ivory tower of the school and built it according to human ideals: kindness, courage, tenacity, sense of responsibility, sense of justice and so on. However, after stepping into the jungle of society, people will doubt what they have encountered: these beautiful qualities seem to have been abandoned long ago, and they should be abandoned if they want to survive to the end, because they are useless.

This situation is just like Matilda's family environment. In this case, what we have to do is to correctly understand and strengthen our beliefs, and never be easily knocked down, go with the flow and change our tune.

There is a saying in "Augmented Sages": But doing good deeds will bring the future to Mo Wen. In roald dahl's another famous work, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the little hero Charlie is poor, but he finally gets the right to inherit the chocolate factory because of his kindness.

What we have to do is to be kind and move forward firmly.

In my opinion, although the plots of roald dahl's works inherit many routines of traditional fairy tales, they also have their own innovative parts. Many fairy tales are just warm and beautiful worlds, and there are few malicious opposites in reality. Roald dahl wrote them all in his own works, and Matilda suffered terrible language violence. In addition, there are some other unexpected plot settings in his works, which are rich and wonderful, warm and vivid, and readable.

The musical "Matilda" has also successfully put its own works on the big stage, won unanimous praise in the industry, won many awards and was very popular. The music in the drama version is very extra points, and there are many good songs that poke people's hearts; The role casting is also very appropriate, successfully shaping the magical little girl Matilda, as well as the strong, serious and terrible principal Chuan Chibu and other roles; It is also very ingenious in the setting of dance beauty.

When a group of children are swinging on the stage and singing songs that I grew up, I can't help but remind people of those simple childhood dreams, but I can take candy to work, watch TV and stay up late. This passage has deeply touched many people.

But when we finally grow into adults, we lose some innocence and forget some beautiful qualities. Matilda reminded us. This is a book suitable for children and adults to read and appreciate together, because adults are only children when they grow up.
