3 Reasons the Matilda Movie Is More Magical as an Adult

As many times as I've attempted to levitate a cereal spoon with my mind or turn on a lamp by pointing at it, I admire one thing about Matilda far more than her magic: her confidence. As a child, seeing Matilda chase after what she believes in and take risks to help the people she loves inspired me to step out of my comfort zone.
Now that I'm an adult, seeing this little girl hold onto hope even when she isn't sure what might go wrong has inspired a willingness in me to trust my instincts and take charge when it means I can help those around me. Over the years, Matilda has indirectly inspired me to take more than a few leaps of faith, and that's a kind of magic in itself.
