I haven't watched a movie for a long time, and I can't find anything else at night. The movie on the computer, if you haven't seen it, this is the one. I downloaded it before and showed it to others, but they said they couldn't watch it anymore, so I didn't watch it again. I opened the movie with the attitude of giving it a try. The results were astonishing.

The little poem at the beginning of the first line of Thread 1
is beautiful. Echoing the little poem at the end, the same melody.
For Travers, before his father left and after the movie rights were sold, life was light and full of laughter.
There are many before and after comparisons. At first she was invited, but she was reluctant to go; later, when Walter did not know whether to invite her or not, the lady arrived by plane herself. From the beginning to the end of the film, the whole person's attitude has changed a lot.
Afraid to see pears (because my father bought it for my father before he died), afraid to see red (blood), reluctance to sell copyrights (father told her not to bother with money), character description of the protagonist Mary Poppins in my book (not Always happy and positive, but with the same sadness and sorrow as ordinary people), the character description of Mr.Banks (not ruthless, but full of love for children).
All kinds of things show that she can't let go of her father. I love my father deeply in my heart, but I complain about why my father left so early. Because of love, she even used her father's name as her own, and because she couldn't let it go, she didn't mention these things to anyone, and she didn't want this deepest thing to be lifted up and used as a stepping stone for Walt Disney's empire .

In fact, her novels are mapped. Mr.Banks alludes to her father, and Mary Poppins alludes to herself (personal feeling). After her father's death, she needs to take on a lot, to bring joy to the family, and to take responsibility for the family. She must have sorrow and responsibility.
My favorite is this scene: her mother can't think of it, she walks towards the center of the lake, little Traverse rides a white horse in the mist to find her mother, and at the last moment when her mother is about to be completely submerged in the water, she grabs her. mother's skirt.
This little girl is amazing.

Because of her childhood, she became the current Travers. The early death of her father made her feel no more love than her father, so she always chose to be single. I have always wanted to find someone like my father. Her father told her to be independent and do what she wanted to do, so she became the paranoid old woman that others seem to be today.

...
home education is too important.

At the end of the film, Walter came to Traverse's residence, and that monologue really relied on acting to wipe the audience's tears.
Bringing the story to the screen and changing the story to a happy ending is to let everyone know that Mr. Banks has always loved her daughter. For Travers, this is also her heart knot, her father has always loved her. Although the person has left, her father's teaching and love are always in her heart. Bringing this story to the screen is a tribute to Travers' father.
So, in the end, Travers watched the movie, his face wrinkled in tears.

Let go of the depression of my father's departure. Love is the warmest treasure in the heart.

Thread 2 Travers' father , a
banker, is cynical.
I love my family, but I don't have a good body or a good financial strength.
The wife loves her, otherwise she would not follow him to leave the bustling city and live a quiet life in a remote suburb.
I still remember when they first came to their new home, except for Traverse's mother, everyone else ran forward happily.

Colin Farrell's father, from the beginning of his performance, shocked me. For his daughter, he is simply the perfect father. For the wife, he can also bring enough romance.
Charming.

It would be great if the story could go on like this forever. It would be great if we could continue to play the role of a good father and a good husband.

May his life was short and alcoholic. Cynicism hastened his downfall.

No matter how good it is, what is the use, if you can only accompany the child for ten years. Taking responsibility will take time to fulfill.
Being a husband and father is not easy, work and family can drain their time and energy, it takes too much effort to balance it out. This is a requirement for saints. The most basic requirement is to have a good body.
I can't feel it any more.

By contrast, Walter spent twenty years "entangling" with Travers in order to keep his promise to his children.

After watching the movie yesterday, looking for a movie review, I saw a title about this movie review on mtime, and I burst into tears. The title is, don't let the one who loves you down.

Overall look.
The film was meant to be about the past. And in this past event, there is an earlier story. The 2-hour film is not too long, and the amount of information permeated in it is too large. Those who say they can't watch it, maybe they haven't watched it carefully.

The points of the movie are just right, especially the ending, without dealing with excessive sensationalism. In the end, the film released the working dialogue between Travers and the staff at that time, which made people feel embarrassed. The past time is just a dream, they have left, and these things make them vividly remember.

This movie is so thoughtful. Every detail looks so well done. The splicing of the plot is just right, the acting skills of the two leading actors do not need to be praised too much, and the performances of several supporting actors are also just right.

In the end, maybe certain movies can appeal to certain people. People who have had similar experiences will be more touched by watching similar movies. That's how it is for me. This movie has a double meaning to me. Don't let down the people who love you, at the same time, let go of the past obsessions and pick up the love that the past generation gave you.

    P.L. Travers: You think Mary Poppins is saving the children, Mr. Disney?
