Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Lightdeossk Captivating movie !
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
mikdelaney I was very surprised when my wife told me we were going to watch a movie about Mary Poppins. I rarely watch movies, I love reading books. Of course I had seen Mary Poppins probably 20 or more times over my life. Definitely a classic of Walt Disney's. So if you find out we were going to watch a movie about the movie, I settled in and hoped to enjoy it. I was not disappointed at all. I cried, I left, I was frustrated, I smile. This was needed in my life. I hope you enjoy the movie as much as I did with my family. You won't be disappointed
Irishchatter I use to watch Mary Poppins when i was quite young and it was such a darling movie. Although it does have a meaning that poor PL Travers died of alcohol and when her family were in trouble, they got a nanny. It was so sad to think PL Travers childhood was unstable but of course, it was understandable that she didn't want Walt Disney to take Mary Poppins away from her. I was astonished that it took 20 years for Mary Poppins to be developed, I mean, PL Travers probably needed time to go through it but it made things difficult for her when Disney pushed her to make Mary Poppins a film. Although she did state clearly that she didn't want animation in the film but since Disney is the lovable businessman we know, he did it anyway. It was unfair really like, she had the rights as the writer to not have animation on her adaption. Maybe it would've been better off if she went to Universal Studios rather than Disney, she could get away with not having animation or songs in her film.Emma Thompson and Tom Hanks were absolutely brilliant as Walt Disney and PL Travers. Honestly, the pair of them looked so similar to the real Walt Disney and PL Travers. Great job John Lee Hancock and the rest of the film crew to remember an inspiring icon who was behind in creating the flying nanny we all know today!
Movies make the world go round This has been my favorite movie for over three years now and I cannot even begin to describe how much I love it. It's hilarious and heartbreaking wrapped into one. It's the literally translation of bittersweet and it has been a comfort to me on many lonely nights. It's about forgiveness, forgiving others and mostly forgiving yourself. It's about letting go of the past and leading a life not dictated by what haunts you. It's about the magic of storytelling, and to me, what Disney is all about."That's what we storytellers do, we instill hope again and again." As someone who has idolized Walt Disney and been a huge fan of the history of Walt since seventh grade, I know that there are some fibs here and there, trust me. It's true that it shouldn't be used as a source of research, but let me be very clear when I say that SOME REALLY QUITE HARMLESS LIES DO NOT MAKE THE MOVIE DISHONEST OR BAD. IGNORE ALL THE REVIEWS SAYING THAT SINCE IT IS NOT 100% ACCURATE IT IS BAD. please do yourself a favor and watch this movie, I don't know how else to put it.
WholeNote68 The end of the movie shows Travers watching Mary Poppins with what appears to be acceptance and even enjoyment.That's not at all what happened. The truth is, she watched Mary Poppins and hated it. She never forgave herself for trusting Disney with her creation, and despite Disney's repeated efforts to gain her permission to film a sequel, she denied him at every turn and never forgave him. She went to her grave regretting having ever met the man.That's the real ending, but of course Disney Studios would never release a movie like that. One star and nothing more, for trying to change history.
