So Saving Mr. Banks is about the somewhat true story of P L Travelers or Mrs. Travelers as she likes to be called in the movie and she meets up with the one and only Walt Disney who is trying to get the rights to turn her book Mary Poppins into a movie. So let's get to it, I freaking loved this movie, it was just amazing. Let's first start with the acting Tim Hanks is Walt Disney and this movie and wow does he play that part, I loved him in this role he was just fantastic. Emma Thompson played the part of P L Travelers and she did just fantastic for this role. P L Travelers is the super proper British lady, she wants to be called Mrs and she wants everything just done properly, and she just killed it in these scenes. She's so proper at times that you just feel like she's kind of rude but she is being proper and it's just different than most would see things.The Oscars are coming up and I feel that this movie is going to get some nominations. Now the story was just great, I loved every bit of it. The movie is super interesting I don't really know how much of it is true but it was interesting to see how it went about. Some aren't liking this movie because it wasn't true enough, I say though just enjoy the movie for what it is the movie is really great if you just watch it. The movie goes back and forth between P
L Travelers rough childhood to the present in the 1960s. I think this movie did just great with that I loved when she was having these flashbacks they just really worked with the times she had them. Now these flashbacks were sad at times and then at times it's just beautiful and extremely heartwarming and they were just so wonderful. Now this movie kind of just ended in my opinion in my opinion, this might be a spoiler to you I don't feel it is but here it goes the movie ends at the premiere of Mary Poppins and I don't feel that we really got to see the reaction from P L Travelers, during the movie she's says how much she hates certain things like songs and some characters and the actors who play them but while she's at the premiere she's laughing at times and crying at times and then just mad at times. I just feel like we could have benefited from a last scene where we found out what she thought. I've been reading up on this subject and I guess for the most part she absolutely hated the movie she didn't like the animation, she hated the music for the most part and she was very upset with Disney about this. I think that maybe to protect Disney's memory and reputation. Mary Poppins did go on to win many Oscars and many Oscar nominations and I do have to say I love the movie myself. This movie was just great though I want to watch it again and again and again I will be buying this when it comes out, I'm almost positive there will be some Oscar nominations this year for this movie, it's just an amazing movie.
So what are the people saying? So there are some who are saying that this movie is just not honest, they don't feel Walt was portrayed enough as the jerk that he could be at times. They didn't feel that the movie accurately portrayed what really happened, but again it's a movie enjoy it follow up on the rest later on after the movie is over it's still interesting and still good so just enjoy. There are also people who felt the movie as overly long and boring, I disagree with that, as I said above I would have liked it to be longer and showed the reaction of Travelers. I really didn't find any of this movie to be a bore I loved every second of it. So besides that most liked and loved this movie and I personally loved this movie and it's going on my list of best movie of 2013 and I will have that list out soon :)
So as for a rating I'm going to give this movie a 9/10
