As I did a review on another podcast as a guest speaker and I will post the link here for all of you to listen I am just going to be posting the notes I made up for the show.
Please, be respectful to any spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. mistakes as these notes were meant strictly for me only to reference when giving my review of the film! As usual if you have comments, question, thoughts in general, regarding this post or any others please feel free to speak your mind! Spoiler Alert: There might be a few spoilers in my notes and the review I have done with the other podcast if you do not wish to hear them please stop here:
-Everyone I am sure would like to change
something about their childhood
-We sometimes change a memory so the restores
order and makes us live happy
•Everyone
can interpret the story differently and take from it what makes sense to them
•Parent
to child relationships are complicated and it is explored here.
•The
writing of the script was virtually flawless
•Transitions
between flashbacks and present are excellent
•Was
walking a fine line between being an ad campaign Walt Disney or hurting the
reputation.
•Executed
perfectly stayed as close to the truth as possible while still being
entertaining
•Saw
it as an apology to Travers' was fair to both Disney and Travers'
-Richard Sherman cried after reading script
because he didn't know what a terrible childhood she had. Now looking back forgives her for basically
ruining his life.
•This
film is not about Disney it is about Travers' and the creative process.
•Emma
Thompson brilliant should be winning the Oscar, very difficult to play such a
complex person. Hard to be mean and
still be likable, very brilliant in that. (Actually apologized after scenes for
being so nasty.
•Tom
Hanks does not look like Disney at all but he embodied his spirit, there were
time throughout the film that is very believable that he was Disney. (Were looking for an iconic actor to play
Disney who is also, an icon.
•Producer
Allison Owen got the idea for the film from another script written in Australia
about Travers' life.
•Owen
decided to focus on the creative process of Turing book into film
•Sought
out Marcel to write script. (Marcel
picked Saving Mr. Banks out of a slew of concepts)
•Marcel
wrote script and only realized when almost finished that the only studio that
could make the film would be Disney because of all the copyrights to music and
clips of the film Mary Poppins. (Thought Disney would give a cease/desist
order)
•After
acquiring director John Lee Hancock, actors Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson Owens
present the film to Disney.
•Disney
thought it was great and even allowed film makers to dig into the archive for
research. Also, allowed them to make the
film how they saw it.
-creates confliction in oneself when realizing
that, that innocent love from a child becomes tainted when faced with knowing a
parent could have made different choices
-I believe this confliction to be the source of
P.L.'s controversial character
-Creativity of her father, yet structured like
Aunt Ellie
- We become
the experience we have
•20
year conquest
-Mary Poppins was hers and did not want to share
-Most conversations between Disney and Travers'
were over the phone
-Disney did promise Diane
-Started creating the films 20 years before given
the rights
-Ended up handing over the film rights because
she needed the money
•Invention
of Characters to change or rewrite past
-Disney with Mickey and Poppins with PL
-Rewrite our history, remember the past in
different way
-Story tellers establish order in the midst of
chaos
-Tom Hankins "That is what story tellers do.
We restore order to imagination. We bring hope"
•Creative
Process
-Budding heads
-Disney was used to getting what he wanted and
she came and said no.
-Commend her for defending her work
-Ultimately, Disney said what he needed to get
the film rights and did what he wanted.
-Did cry because she did not like it. Told Disney after the first thing that needs
to go is the animation. Disney said
"that ship has sailed"
-Marcel admits that she didn't cry because of joy
or it hit so close to home. Marcel was
reestablishing order just as Tom Hanks as Disney said. She just wanted a happy
ending
I have posted some Controversial Articles about Saving Mr. Banks, Keep in mind this is not my opinion and it does not indicate my feelings towards the film. I LOVED THE FILM.
We are 3 days away from leaving for our vacation and 5 days away from being where they house the mouse!
I have spent about 6 months doing my homework and planning every detail for this vacation. It is a much needed vacation. So, for this pre-trip I am just going to go through our long checklist of everything.
1. game plan
2. car ready (oil change, clean, triple aaa)
3. car activities
4. snacks
5. clothes
6. toiletries
7. camera other electronics (ipod, phones/chargers, back-up batteries)
As you can see I am already late on some to-dos but that is so I see it as a notification!
This is a generalized list of all the things I do when I get ready to go on any trip. There is a lot involved but it is worth it knowing you are away and things are taken care of at home and you have what you need on your trip. I complete and can check off a lot of items on this list however there are a few important items I have yet to accomplish. I still have time it is only Tuesday and I have till Friday. Some things you cannot do till a day or two before and those are mainly the things I have yet to cross off.
To help me along with the packing and getting ready I use an app called Packing Pro for the iphone. This app does cost maybe a dollar but that is a small price to pay. The app includes a default list, you can customize your own list and more importantly it saves your list so you can use it in the future. This app really helped me last year when I went on my honeymoon I had everything that I needed and then some. I am using it again this year to make sure I have everything again. I have provided the link to the App if anyone is interested.
my customized list. The nice thing is on any item you can detail to what bag the item is in.
This App is really useful when you are flying and are limited to what you can take with you. Also, you will have an inventory when you need to return from your trip ensuring you wont forget anything while on vacation!
In addition to getting ready to go on I have to move desks at work; so I have to clean out my cubicle this week. Also, we have some friends staying at our house while we are away this means we have to clean house from top to bottom. Luckily we did a lot of it this weekend already. Please let me know what you do to get vacation ready. You can email me at dislizney13@gmail.com or you can make a comment in the section below. If you enjoy the blog and are following along please let me know!
Also this will be my last post until after the big trip! My next post will be a trip report as well as clips from the vaca!
For the rest of the week the #disCHARney will be themed around the number 1000.
