Saving Mr Banks

Since I was a kid, I absolutely enjoy watching movies. When I was in college, I used to watch 2 or sometimes 3 movies back to back ... all sort of ones- from action to romantic to dramas to comedies to thrillers to biographies.... my mom used to nag about these movie marathons. She couldn't understand what pull I felt for these movies .. 

She wouldn't know that through movies like Forrest Gump or the Green Mile or the Aviator , I lived a thousand lives in one life.. I could witness a thousand life lessons, which i believe, shape our character...

  And I  I think, those out there like me, very well know what I am talking about...

  There's a wonderful quotation I came across for books... "

" I believe the same holds true for certain movies too....

And Saving Mr Banks is one such movie....

Based on true incidences and characters, the movie packs quite a powerful message within it... Through the lives of Walter Disney (no one could have handled his character better than Tom hanks) and the whimsical writer, P. L. Travers (The wonderful Emma Thompson) we learn a nice life lesson .. Let me try to share it with you , if u don't mind . :-)

The writer with which Walt Disney was trying to make a movie was proving to be exceedingly difficult  ... Walter is initially confused by her almost rude behaviour ... We too often come across several ppl who are downright rude without any provocation... But he tries to understand why she behaves so...

In a very  emotional scene with her towards the end of the movie, Walt  explains to the sad writer that most people have a sad past .. A  sad incidence or childhood that shall remain in our memory for the rest of our life.... 

He tells her that he too had a very troubled childhood... Thanks to an overbearing father.

He then explains that There are two ways of looking at our past .:. Something that dictates our future or 

Stop let it govern our action and create a bright future for ourselves despite the past - as he did :-) 

As we all know , Walt Disney started from an absolute zero and followed his heart and passion - art. And the rest Is history!....

The lady realises that he was indeed correct and at that very moment , the world around her stopped being so gloomy and one could notice the weight that was lifted off her shoulders.... 

A nice life lesson in there guys ...  

PS - you need to watch it either alone or someone who can understand these kind of movies to be able to really enjoy it!
