SAVING
MR. BANKS
This
movie is such a moving story that it took me by surprise. It's based on the
fact that Walt Disney wanted to bring the book MARY POPPINS to life. He
promised his daughters he would bring this book to life. It took twenty years
to keep that promise.
Pamela
L. Travers wrote MARY POPPINS and she wanted anything but this book brought to
life on the big screen. The deciding factor to at least hear what Walt Disney
had to say was the fact she didn't want to lose her home.
At
the least Pamela is difficult an at best she is carrying a lot of memories that
cause excess baggage for her and everyone around her.
It
is a miracle that this movie was made. It is also a miracle that Pamela L. Travers
had a change of viewpoint and heart but not until step by step she had
situation proved to her. It was pivotal that Walt Disney visited her at her
home.
I
give it ******** stars.
Next
up: HOLLYWOODLAND and this movie flipped from it's present to the past. It is
about the murder/suicide of George Reeves and while the person investigating
tries to find the truth this story soon reveals the investigator has much in
common with George Reeves.
A
very sad movie, a depressing movie and a true side of Hollywood emerges. I
really enjoyed the movie but was emotionally exhausted by the time the words the end met my gaze. I give
it **********stars.

I LOVED Saving Mr. Banks! I liked Hollywoodland and I think they did a pretty good job of telling the story. We'll never know for sure, but it is one of those really sad stories in Hollywood
