The film is mainly about: Walt Disney, the founder of Disney, will adapt a children's novel "Mary Poppins" by Travers into a movie for the promise of his daughter. But the road to get the rights to adapt is difficult and bumpy. The film does not rest on Walt Disney, but mainly on Travers, the author of the novel. Travers is a single, aging woman with an odd personality and a bit of a tart. Walt Disney is trying to accommodate her quirky demands for the rights to the adaptation.
The story takes place in the 1970s, while constantly interspersing memories of the novel's author, Travers, in 1903 as a child. The scenes of her childhood correspond one by one to her current state and the scenes in the novel. What I am more interested in is that writers actually map themselves into their own works. The works of writers, painters and musicians are usually full of reflections of the author himself, and this phenomenon is involuntary for the author himself. That is, the author unconsciously molds himself into the work. When I mention Hemingway, I think of the unyielding fishing old man in "The Old Man and the Sea", when I mention Charlotte Bronte, I think of the strong girl in "Jane Eyre", and when I mention Van Gogh, I think of those sunflowers, I know This is neither an autobiography nor a self-portrait, but I always feel that this is the same as the author telling his own story, the same as the author painting himself. What's interesting is that the reason why the author can write/draw such a work is because of the author's own experience, his own hope, etc. Just as it is not the future that determines our future, but our past. We keep saying that people should move forward and so on. I'm not against it. I just think it's a pity to throw away the past like this. Of course, how to deal with the past is another big question. Without further ado, let's talk about movies.
The main feelings of the film are still based on father's love, whether it is Walt Disney's wish to realize his daughter, or Travers's father's obedient love for his daughter, it is the embodiment of father's love. Especially Traverse's father, who was an alcoholic, but was still so gentle in front of his daughter, caring for her daughter's every little dream. Especially when the father holds his daughter and rides the white horse, it is really beautiful.
The movie was a bit dull, but in the end Travers watched the comedy musical and cried in the premiere movie theater, interspersed with pictures of his childhood and his father, saying don't leave me. Very moved.
Finally, the black and white photos of the real people at that time were shown one by one and the recordings were made during the filming. Alas, time is so fast!
