Review:  A drama of participation, well made and assembled "Saving Mr. Banks" is the estimate of the Golden Jubilee of 1964, the family musical successful Walt Disney's "Mary Poppins".

The film is an intimate portrait of this source, adaptation, and the decision of the legendary classic, "Mary Poppins" reveals. Considered a "true story" of Walter Disney trials in making the film, but also embodies the author's life, PL Travers with dollops of Disney magic.

The scenario of Sue Smith and Kelly Marcel stabbing sweetness history layers, one in the current period, which happens to be 1961 when the conflict between Disney and Walter Travers and the other in 1906 that childhood exploring Travers displayed in Australia; his relationship with his alcoholic father, Travers Goff, attempted suicide of his mother and the arrival of his aunt, his hope for a better future
What begins as a gay comedy rather difficult for a moody little sentimental novelist turns, eloquent and meaningful.

The film to author PL Travers caught opened in a dilemma on financial issues in London. Your agent tries to give a good reason to find a substantial fee. But unfortunately, it's pretty picky when it comes to the transfer of their rights to the book. So in a dead end, his agent convinces him to travel to Los Angeles to negotiate with Mr. Walter Disney directly, which for the past 20 years has been working hard to adapt the book for film.

While the first half of the film focuses on the construction of the Travers personality mixed with his memories as a child. The second half cast the real battle where Disney picks up its charm and enthusiasm in the hope that the idea of Travers drop his book can give a film version.

But Travers remains inflexible and collide with the team working on the development of the script. Frustrated at every turn, seems to have become "Mary Poppins". But thanks to the perseverance of Mr. Disney, he knows a chord strumming with Travers.

Although viewers are aware of the conclusion of the film, it is the journey that is remarkable. The film works only on all fronts. The acting, script and visual effects are fascinating.

With twice winners of the Academy, Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson, "Saving Mr. Banks" is the joy of a spectator. Thompson Travers is a pleasure with irrational impossibility, an emotional man we can all sympathize. It mesmerizes you with its excellent performance, in fact, even exceeding Hanks repeatedly. She is well supported by Annie Buckley PLTravers Rose Young, who affectionately called by his father Ginty was played by Colin Farrell. Farrell created the perfect balance, which sympathizes as ready for a bottle of fancy addict.

Photos seems deceptively simple on the surface, but the juxtaposition of images from 1906 to 1961 is an art in itself. Production designer Michael Corenblith efforts, cinematographer John Schwartzman and costume designer Daniel Orlandi are quite evident in the film: The gold tinted images of rural Australia, Travers London Home, Las scenes of airport in 1961, as well as sequences in Burbank and Disneyland.

This film is the best film of the director John Hancock. He tried to show how difficult it was to "Mary Poppins." And in all its brilliance and complexity, the film has a sense of well-being that will remain in your memory long after you leave the theater.
