This movie brought up memmories of my carefree childhood. I cried to learn my association with the happiest of my childhood is built upon the sadness of the author's pitiful life.
shareNope. I've never cried over a movie and don't understand people who do.
shareNot just the first time, but every time. When I see her at the end finally feeling like her character is there on the screen alive with her and she starts crying that pretty much has me on my way.
But when they play that slow instrumental of Chim Chimney with the words being recited to it it's full water works. That is my all time favorite Disney song, childhood fairytale song, whatever you want to call it. It takes me instantly back to being young and now being a musician I am still as emotionally affected by minor chord progressions as I ever was.
Sometimes I even get a look on my face in the middle of crying like "still?" and feel stupid but it doesn't last more than a second when I realize it's not silly and I can't do a thing about it.
I cried when I realized what the film was really about.
Not about film rights, or about the efforts made to get her to agree to making the film, or about her being such a hard person to work with, or even if Walt was a good negotiator. It wasn't about Mary Poppins.
It was all about an old woman, sour and saddled with her own demons, discovering through this whole process something new and vital for her about the story she had written years ago; that it was about redeeming her father.
Realizing that she had to forgive her father.
It was unexpected, and maybe I am naive or too easily manipulated by movies, but as it was it was devastating for me when that really sunk in. I was completely blown away by how beautifully and subtly that snuck up on me.
I didn't cry: I SOBBED. And sobbed. And sobbed some more. The heartbreak that little girl endured, and tried to make up for her out-of-control childhood by becoming a "perfectly capable" control freak.
shareYES YES YES, they were happy tears because it explains how Mary Poppins was a savior-type figure to Mr. Banks. I do believe in Christ, and it's almost as if Poppins filled that role for Mr. Banks. She showed him a better way and how to treat people nicely as well as enjoy life, just like Christ does for all of us :)
shareThank you for posting that during the Holy Moonth of Ramadan, when all good Moslems fast each day and contemplate their spiritual worth. It's a pity that many of them decide to take the lives of innocent people by beheadings or bombings or other random and vicious means, but I guess we can thank the introspection of this holy month from keeping it from being one hundred times higher.
Sorry to take the Banks board off on this tangent, I just get enthused whenever someone brings up the value of religion during a holy month.

I cried, I thought it was a beautiful movie and so sad to learn so much about the author, her father, and how "Mary Poppins" was real. I never knew MP was a book or that she was based of a real person.
shareI cried for Pamela because her work, her life and her father's honoring was destroyed. She was even more upset by the film than she was before. I cried for her sake. Poor woman.
shareI cried. What a wonderful film. I saw it yesterday ON DEMAND.
Brought back memories . " Go FLy A Kite" is one of my favorite childhood songs.
Can you imagine, Laurence Olivier ae Bert?
I thought I would be able to make it without crying but the premiere totally ruined me. I was a mess for hours.
And I'm still so bitter about Emma Thompson's Oscar snub!
I cried when I realized this was going to be another unwatchable movie.
