Saving Mr. Banks

Overall, I truly enjoy a good children's movie but I'm also a sucker for love stories. However I'm not normally a fan of documentaries/biographical comedies. Saving Mr. Banks changed my mind. From the beginning of the movie to last scene, I was glued. I highly advise you to watch Mary Poppins before you watch it because there are a lot of key things that I caught having watching Mary Poppins prior.

At the very beginning of Mary Poppins (1964), Bert says, "Winds in the East, mist coming in. Like something is brewing, about to begin. Can't put my finger on what lies in store, but I fear what's to happen, all happened before."

If you look back now. This song that starts off Mary Poppins is telling us that this story has happened before. It is the story of Pamela Lyndon Travers's childhood. In 2013, Saving Mr. Banks was released. Saving Mr. Banks started off the same way as Mary Poppins. "Winds in the East, mist coming in. Like something is brewing, about to begin. Can't put my finger on what lies in store, but I fear what's to happen, all happened before."

Pamela Lyndon Travers told her story, now it's your turn.
