Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious: Saving Mr. Banks

First of all, confess: I have not watched Mary Poppins. But when I watched the American TV series Suits, I learned this word: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, and then I knew how the corresponding song was sung. How to pronounce this word at first! ! But after reading it, you will be able to spell it by yourself. I must have lost my heart after typing this word just now! I searched it to see if I spelled it right, shit, I actually spelled it right!

Saving Mr. Banks tells the story of Mrs. Traverse (played by Emma Thompson), the creator of Mary Poppins, who sold the copyright of his characters and stories to Uncle Walt Disney (played by Tom Hanks) himself.

Yesterday I wrote in the journal of the 2013 movie rankings that this film is not necessarily watched. I only knew yesterday that this is Thompson’s film. The acting skills are praised. The plot probably tells that Thompson’s role is strong and arbitrary for the baby he created. He has a sense of protection, and disagrees with Disney on the script and filming techniques, and refuses to make concessions. So, I really don’t care if I need to watch this movie.

After watching it today, I want to say I love it to death. This movie is so good, everyone must watch it.

Let me introduce Mary Poppins a little bit. She is going to be a nanny for the Banks family. The title of this movie is Saving Mr. Banks. Mr. Banks is a Banker, a bank manager, and the author Traverse’s father is also a bank manager. .

The creation of Mary Poppins has a deep relationship with the author's own growth experience, and is also inextricably linked to the author's beloved father (played by Colin Farrell). There are some very important fragments in her memory, which she has kept working hard and struggling to rely on, making her unable to let go of her Mary Poppins.

People say that Colin Farrell has finally gotten stronger this time, and I agree very much.

The movie flashes back and forth between the reality in front of Mrs. Traverse and her memories of the past, finally revealing why she is so strict with Disney's upcoming film adaptation and why her personality is so rigid.

This is a deeply affectionate movie. I don’t want to say that it is sad, but the word melancholy fits the bill. The movie is full of a heavy and strong worry, very touching (relatable), slowly as the characters pass by. Uncovered, I gradually shouldered a lot of mental pressure, and at the end I was liberated with her.

Except for Colin Farrell's very powerful performance, Emma Thompson's performance is really perfect. (Love the fact that she used to date Hugh Laurie. Love her performance in Angels in America. Love her Margaret in Howard's End. Love Stranger than Fiction. Love her in everything she's in that I saw.)

A young girl of play of childhood It is Annie Rose Buckley, this little girl is very cute and naturally very painful. So take the name and praise.

In the 2006 version of Jane Eyre, Ruth Wilson played her mother, but she was very popular with little play.

Although Tom Hanks played an opponent role with Emma Thompson in the movie, the amount of drama was obviously much less, the task was not big, and it was successfully completed. All the words of praise for him were used up, and more praise is a waste of ink.

Paul Giamatti plays Thompson's driver in Los Angeles. The comment can be copied from the previous paragraph.

Other characters, such as the blessed Brad Whitford (Josh Lyman), Jason Schwartzman, and BJ Novak, play the role of the scriptwriter of the movie version of Mary Poppins, and cope with the protagonist's various requirements. The three of them are very talented and tried their best to create a musical that is worthy of the original book's height, but Thompson's Traverse just doesn't like anything. It's very interesting that you come to me.

The first time I laughed, it was the first time Traverse listened to a song they wrote after arriving in Los Angeles. There was a word in it was "Respons-ti-ble," and then she interrupted and said you don’t make up a word, okay? ! Then Schwartzman, who played the piano, immediately hid the Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious score.

When I watch a movie now, when I encounter the kind of music that "encourages" the audience's emotions, I will feel disgusted. There is no such situation in the impression of this film. Because I had to meet my friends after watching this movie, I couldn't help crying, but I still couldn't help it. The sound of sniffing from the audience kept coming and going, and I was one of them. You may not know why it is so touching until you read it here, but because I want to avoid spoilers, I don't need to explain too much. This is a very heartwarming, very emotional film. I had a normal expectation of it before watching it, but it far exceeded my expectations. The structure is solid, the emotion is rich, and the performance is skillful. I highly recommend everyone to watch it. Just like the film critic Kermode said, no matter how much Mary Poppins author PL Traverse doesn't like Disney's movies or not, this movie is for you.
