Reconciliation with Childhood--Emma Thompson in Acting

Another heartwarming movie.
The shadows of childhood are the deepest dents in everyone's character. Even the most successful people, even the most perfect people, have an unknown secret area that hides a reflection of childhood.
Travers' childhood is reflected in his own work, so he doesn't want others to adapt it. It is the trauma of childhood that cannot be reconciled. But as the film slowly unfolded, and her memories and reflections on her childhood, Walt Disney gradually opened her heart with sincere and ingenious means, and finally completed her reconciliation with her childhood.
A movie that tells the story behind the movie, which penetrates people's hearts so deeply, and the collision of acting skills between the actress and the actor, all give this movie a reason to watch it.
After watching the movie, I can calm down some psychological memories, try to understand my parents more, and accept life more, which is also very good.

Saving Mr. Banks quotes

  • Walt Disney: I think life disappoints you, Ms. Travers. I think it's done that a lot. And maybe Mary Poppins is the only person in your life who hasn't.

    P.L. Travers: Mary Poppins isn't real.

    Walt Disney: That's not true. She was as real as can be to my daughters, and to thousands of other children - adults too. She's been a nighttime comfort to a heck of a lot of people.

    P.L. Travers: Then where is she when I need her? I open the door for Mary Poppins, and who should be standing there but Walt Disney!

  • Travers Goff: [the Travers have just arrived at their new home which is a rundown farm and it is obvious the family are in poverty but Goff tries to pretend otherwise] A Palace! Complete with mighty steed!

    Ginty: And chickens!

    Margaret Goff: [Shocked and disappointed] Oh my!

    Travers Goff: [to Margaret] We'll make beautiful memories here my angel

    [Pecks his wife on the cheek and she pretends to smile]

    Travers Goff: Girls, come on. In this house you get to share a room!
