Saw Saving Mr. Banks today with my mom and uncle. I really loved it, but it hit way too close to home for them. Part of the movie deals with a drunk dad driving his family into the ground along with the death of a parent, which hit too close to home.
Personally I don't let movies get to me, even if they do match up too much with my life, but I feel really bad about how it upset them. I was just fascinated by how much this women really treasured her creation and refused to let Mary Poppins be tarnished. Too bad it's all about the money for most studios... I'm sick of characters I love be tarnished. I flipped my shit when I saw what was done to Captain Haddock for the Tintin movie and I'm scared to death about what Waterman Entertainment will do with The Brave Little Toaster. Rumor has it the Radio is going to be replaced with an iPhone.
