Saving Mr Banks


What a good movie. Thoroughly enjoyed, could not fault it.
Emma Thompson playing the writer P L Travers supplants Bullock for the Oscar nomination in my book.
Nice shot near the end with Thompson on the red carpet outside the Grauman's Chinese Theatre looking back onto the road and the awful tacky shops opposite are masked out with red sheeting. Well what else would you do?
There is a fault and that's what happened after the film's premier and end of this film.Travers doesn't like the film at all and refuses to collaborate with Disney on any further adaptations. So a rather Disney view on themselves so for that knowledge I have deducted a further mark.

8/10

Watch out for references to paintings, I spotted two, the first a nod to Hockney, the second to Millais's Ophelia. (watch out for the way the hands are held)
