Problematic films.

[TinkersTailor]

Just watching Matilda with DD.

I know her parents didn't give a shit about her, but why weren't the other parents questioning what was going on at the school?!
DC coming home and saying that the headteacher walks around with a riding crop, threatens to lock kids up in the chokey, makes a kid eat entire chocolate cake as punishment, throws kids out of windows.

The parents just didn't believe the kids surely each one of them is a case for SS?

Any other problematic films you can think of?

Kill Bill. Why was Uma allowed to take a samurai sword into a plane as hand luggage? Also after killing the male rapist nurse and hiding out in his car for 15 hours while she regained the use of her legs, how come nobody came to search his car? Surely his murdered body would have been found in 15 hours.

So many plot holes in that film but I love it anyway.

As for Matilda, it's a kids film so I guess they all have to be a little unbelievable, it's like critiquing the aerodynamics of the flying bed in Bedknobs and Broomsticks

All those American films when the couple have a fight. He then goes off to sleep on the couch.
All the houses are massive! Seriously? Is there not a spare bedroom?

In the book of Matilda, Matilda herself explains that the Trunchbull's methods are deliberately outrageous, so that nobody will believe she does it.
