The title of the film is Saving Mr. Banks, but it seems that all the brief descriptions of this film are to say that this is a documentary of how Disney's 1964 classic film "Happy Man World" was produced. However, anyone who has watched this movie knows that the most important thing about this movie is the story about the author and the story about how to save Mr. Banks. Walt Disney, as well as the staff who created this movie, are just "bystanders."
I can’t stop my tears when I haven’t watched a movie for a long time. It’s obviously that after watching the joy of joy, I want to see how this movie was made, but I didn’t expect the truth I saw (perhaps It is still whitewashed) so worried.
The whole film is intertwined, and Mrs. Travers’ childhood has been flashing back. During her negotiations with Disney, during the adaptation of this work based on her own life into a movie, what she can always remember is herself and her father. Every bit of life. The movie gave us such a story. The bad-tempered and alcoholic father is a great dreamer in his daughter's heart, but dreams are not enough. The young Hellen has always believed in his father's beliefs, but the father finally fell to the point of vomiting blood. She died, leaving her alone thinking about everything her father had given her. The movie also hints to us that Aunt Mary, who came with the wind, was actually Aunt Ellie, who was the "fear sister" in my father's mouth. She suddenly appeared in front of the door with a parrot head umbrella. It was her travel bag since her childhood. She took out all kinds of novel things, and she made them live again. Disney originally thought that the fairy was here to save the children, but later realized that Marry Popins was not here to save the children, but to save Mr. Banks. In the eyes of the little girl, Aunt Ellie is here to save her father, just like in the movie: Marry Popins is just like them, and Marry Popins is here to teach the children to face the darkness. Because in the end, Mrs. Travers' father died, Aunt Ellie still did not save him.
Marry Popins wrote these into his book, beautified his father's image, and wrote Marry Popins' descriptions as ordinary. However, when my work was adapted into a movie, all this changed.
It was Disney who bought the copyright, Walt Disney, and he made the decision for his daughter's prudent wishes. And we all know that Disney is bright, Disney is warm, Disney is imagination, it is impossible for Disney to show us an ordinary fairy, and it is impossible for Disney to make us a movie without a sense of rhythm. But Marry Popins happens to dislike all of this. She dislikes animation, she dislikes Music, she dislikes a luxurious villa in Banks, Mrs. Banks who is portrayed as a feminist, and Mr. Banks who is too harsh. Disgusted with such a beautiful and generous Marry Popins. Therefore, we can see that she argued with them again and again, arguing, and arguing, but finally compromised. There are a lot of singing and dancing, and there are a lot of animations, the Banks family has a luxurious house, and Mrs. Banks is still a feminist.
Because this film may not really present the facts, we don't know the truth, so I don't want to ask too much about why. But what attracted me to the whole movie was Mrs. Travers. She lived alone without relatives or friends. She was self-willed. She had a sentimental sense of loneliness. However, she still wrote about making children and adults all over the world. Favorite book. Why? Because she inherited her father's dream, she herself wanted to bring these empty daydreams to people to enjoy. Why don't you agree to be adapted into a movie? Because movies are real people, and movies are concrete, she doesn't want these to go into reality, because she has experienced pain.
I am very pleased that Aunt Thompson presented this character perfectly in front of me, and let me accept this setting at once. Between my eyebrows and gestures, every picture is my immense love for this character. This nagging, weird British aunt stayed in my heart like this.
It’s a pity that Mrs. Travers did not express his satisfaction with the joyous and joyous film (although I personally like this movie very much), maybe this is because Disney is too selfish, or Mrs. Travers is too much. Paranoia (listen to the tape and imagine the situation at that time). But I think it is the story itself. It is not that it is not suitable for making movies. No matter what the filming is, perhaps Mrs. Travers will be dissatisfied, because we still believe in fairy tales, but she is more willing to accept reality. After all, Disney failed to save Mr. Banks, nor was it authorized for the next few books, but it was enough to have a good movie and so many good books.
I have to say that the music is really too powerful in moving people's hearts. The first tear was the new Let's Go Fly a Kite, which was added after the production staff changed the ending. Mrs. Travers couldn't help humming, and the second tears Beng (really can’t help) and Mrs. Travers weeped and watched the premiere. In the end, everything Chim Chim Cher-ee (East Wind), Mrs. Travers shed tears for her father and tears for her movie (because of true I hate animation...), I shed tears for her
From "From Aunt Mary with the Wind" to "Happy in the World", saving Mr. Banks in the book, in the movie, succeeded
ps: To borrow from a film review, "Maybe we helped Disney betray Mrs. Travers", but I still choose to love this movie
