How does the movie Matilda relate to belonging?

Matilda, a magical child, is neglected and not acknowledged by her parents, who do not provide her with a sense of belonging. However, she finds genuine care and acceptance from the librarian Mrs. Phelps, who introduces her to literature and ignites her love for reading.

The movie stresses that true belonging is not acquired through biological ties but through sincere connections and shared values. Matilda's journey represents how meaningful relationships and a sense of purpose can give one a sense of belonging.
