life in seconds

This is the second time I've seen this movie and I hate spoilers so I won't say what it's about, but I didn't really see anything the first time, so I ignored it. In this year, my life has also changed a lot of stories, so I look back on the past, and this movie just entered one of the catalogues that I look back and reflect on. I just want to say that from the second half of the film I burst into tears. The kind of self-protection, the rationally recognized mistakes and the blemishes of life, is emotionally defeated by the ego to bring this kind of failure and pain to the altar of the soul. You can say this feeling is arrogant, but it is also a kind of self-protection for the society. They use pride to hide their humility. They know that what is wrong and failed, but because it is their own, they refuse to comment on anyone other than themselves. Because I know as much as they do, I'd rather it's wrong, it's dirty, and no one else has any qualifications to describe it, also because it's my minutes, and because it's my life.

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!
