It was pirate DVD time, last night in Bangkok. We saw the new Disney entry for end of year awards: Saving Mr. Banks, starring Tom Hanks as Walt Disney and Emma Thompson as PJ Travers, the author of Mary Poppins.
This was the story of the 20+ year battle to secure the film rights and make Mary Poppins, the movie, a film that is as great, now, as it was when issued. I loved Mary Poppins but did not think much of the new film.
Hanks looked like Disney but definitely did not sound like him. The Travers role was wonderfully acted but the persona was so unlikeable that it was difficult to really want to get involved.
While I did watch the entire movie, I really would not recommend it to anyone......
