Movie Blog 49 - "Saving Mr. Banks" - Biography, Comedy, Drama

Approaching this film, I had no clear expectations, and yet, it turned out to be a truly captivating watch. Despite my familiarity with Mary Poppins, I was pleasantly surprised to discover a heartfelt story behind the creation of this beloved character. The woman behind Mary Poppins, far from the happy and adventurous figure one might imagine, had endured significant heartache and carried a somber past.

Delving into her life and understanding the genesis of Mary Poppins was nothing short of brilliant. The film not only sheds light on the creation of a timeless character but also provides insights into the complex and challenging life of the creator. Additionally, it offers a glimpse into the persona of Walt Disney himself.

This movie has reshaped my perspective on Mary Poppins, and I'll never view the classic in the same way. It's a testament to the power of storytelling when it reveals the depth and complexity behind the characters we hold dear.
