When Aunt Mary Poppins came down from the sky with a beak-handled umbrella and a black briefcase, surprise and joy slowly spread out in the thick fog in London in 1910. That fashion is small, but I still remember the touches that "Mary Poppins" brought to childhood. And "Saving Mr. Banks", as the movie behind the movie, tells us a story between a father and a daughter, with less joy in fairy tales and more warmth in reality.
20 years of perseverance stemmed from the promise of father Walt Disney (Tom Hanks) to his daughter, and Pamela Lyndon Travers probably wouldn't have had the first negotiation in the office 20 years later, had it not been for financial problems. I don't know if it was the identity of the father or the commitment to the work that made this stubborn old British lady finally let go and start a collaboration across the strait. Well, it didn't go well.
Mrs Travers, performed by Emma Thompson, frowned all the time, showing full of nitpicking and dissatisfaction in his gestures. Just arriving at the Los Angeles airport, this fussy granny showed off the arrogance and prejudice of the British. The weather is too hot; the name is too arbitrary; the air conditioner is turned on, what? And this kind of nitpicking was also fully revealed in the discussion with the staff on the script: no cartoon, no musical, no Mr. Banks with a beard, no red in the movie. Her insistence on the script and the design of the scene image reached a state of paranoia. To her, Mary Poppins and the Banks family were her family for decades, and how could they be "spoiled" by Disney at will.
If these conflicts are acceptable, the misreading of the original is probably a disappointment the author cannot explain: Mary Poppins was there to save the children? "Oh, dear", after saying this, Mrs Travers walked away.
Back to the opening poem, East wind read by Colin Farrell, accompanied by the famous Chim Chim Cher-ee. Born in the late Victorian era, Mrs Travers was just a sweet little girl with a beautiful mother, sweet sister and a lovely puppy, and she loved the banker father who unconditionally supported her dreams. Mrs Travers recalled that sunny, ordinary day. When the grass is full of sunshine, the oil shines like new life. The smiling father and daughter sat around, accompanied by laughter, as loud as a silver bell. If time can stop at this moment, or return to the sweetness from this world, it was her unfulfilled wish.
But the cruelty of reality is that it gives you a good beginning, but not necessarily a happy ending. Accidentally bumped into the perfect father arguing with others at work, talking indiscriminately on the podium because of drunkenness, and mother's grief slowly taking away her smile, and the deteriorating father's health became Mrs Travers' heart. A lingering shadow. The sudden death also gave Xiao Xiao a heavy blow. And all of the above became scars that she couldn't touch in her heart, which turned into paranoia about the script.
The positive and negative sides of the story are filled by young memories in the interludes of the plot. The real reason why Mrs Travers wrote Mary Poppins' novel was actually to fill his painful childhood. As the script continued to be discussed, Mrs Travers's inner wound was also torn open. The sleepless nights and the frowning frowns in the rearview mirror are co-authored with endless thoughts of my father. Until a song about twopence appeared, she secretly remembered her father's fall, and her thoughts finally overflowed from the bottom of her heart, defeating Mrs Travers, who had been holding back, "probably I let him down again", The rest of the staff were left confused.
What I like about this world is that happiness conveys happiness. The cheerfulness of the music slowly touched the stubborn and frozen heart of the grandmother. However, she accepted the setting of the musical, but her anger was touched again by the use of cartoon characters. Mrs Travers even decided to give up his contract and return to the UK, fortunately he was followed by Walt Disney who knew everything by name.
The second persuasion took place at the grandmother's home in the UK. Walt Disney told Mrs Travers about his childhood and the grandmother's childhood. How much do you miss a person to use the other person's name as a pseudonym to continue that unfinished miss. During the conversation, Mrs Travers slowly released his thoughts: when the past has happened and the ending is an unchangeable fact, why not replace this longing with a happy ending to bring joy and joy to others?
Don't want to get to the bottom of why Walt Disney didn't invite Mrs Travers to the premiere of the movie, but how can no invitation stop a stubborn granny from doing what she wants. Who will understand the real thoughts in her heart when she bursts into tears at the premiere, is she missing, moved, or something else?
Winds in the east
mist coming in
like something is brewing
about to begin
can't put my finger
on what lies in store
but I feel what's to happen all happened before
