    Saving Mr. Banks deserved more Oscar nominations, Emma Thompson was unjustly overlooked by the academy awards.

      So was Colin Farrell. He was amazing in this.

      Emma Thompson acting was amazing in this movie, great injustice....

      I totally agree! I think Emma Thompson is an actress of the caliber of Meryl Streep. She can play anyone in a fabulous way. Watch her in the movie "Wit" here on UA-cam. A deep, long, almost two hour monologue. Superb acting, very touching!

    Emma Thompson should have definitely received an Oscar her performance was outstanding

    I absolutely loved this movie. The fact that Emma didn't receive an Oscar nomination for this is complete and utter bullshit.

      The Oscars are.... Alan didn't get one, Leo waited decades and got one for a comparably weak performance.... In a year with 5 awesome movies only one gets one, had they been in other years, all would have one, and in weak years, movies and performances win that wouldn't even have been nominated in other years. The Oscars are not about a certain level of performance, about masterpieces, but rather about the best annually, and box offices.

    Finally saw it today - such a great experience - funny, sad touching. Tom was great, but Emma, and especially Colin, were so amazing. The back story was so beautiful and heartfelt

  • @jazzguitar3441
    @jazzguitar3441 4 роки тому +5

    It never occurred to me that anyone could think Emma got something wrong with playing Travers' inconsistency... to me that was plain to see that Travers was struggling with letting the change of hearts happen completely, that some situations enabled this empathy and lightness more, and then there was always a key moment, a trigger, that threw her back into her defensive mechanisms. It was so logical and natural, that's why I loved it and why I love Emma in this.

  • @jazzguitar3441
    @jazzguitar3441 4 роки тому +10

    Emma's empathy is boundless, it's heartbreaking watching her feel with Sherman in 14:52
    Also you can see that the interview has been cut so some parts are missing. :(

  • @elsaandnoah
    @elsaandnoah 10 років тому +21

    I've seen this movie twice already. It's wonderful and it made me cry more than once! There was an old man sitting next to me during one viewing and he was actually sobbing (full on crying) during one scene. I have never seen Mary Poppins before so I just bought the Blu-ray and will watch it soon. Regardless, the music is SO famous so I recognized most of the tunes. One of the few films where the audience clapped when it finished.

  • @apolojuniorcordeiro

    • @teddyflaury4018

      I understand Meryl Streep totally agreed and told Emma that she also believed Emma should've been nominated.

    If Emma was nominated, it would definitely've been a tight race between her and Cate Blanchett.

    • @mlchc9004

  • @n.q1158
    @n.q1158 4 роки тому +2

    Did anyone else notice Emma's and Richard's hands around 9:40? So lovely...
    And yes, no question, the movie is absolutely brilliant, Emma's performance as PL Travers was perfect and she would have deserved an Oscar for the incredible work with facial expressions alone! What comforts me is that I don't think of her as the kind of actor that places a high value on any sort of award anyway, I believe what's important to her is that she brings joy through her work and that it encourages people to think about the deeper meanings behind movies like Saving Mr Banks - and that's definitely something she manages to achieve like no one else for me! So thank you for that, Emma!

    Tom Hanks portraying Walt Disney describing to Travers his childhood growing up in Kansas City was a masterclass.

    This was terrific. Funny I just drove into the Disney studio today. It's so corporate and just office space with a few buildings they film stuff. They don't do tours but if you buy enough Disney store stuff you can earn points that may get you a visitors day pass.

    I watched this movie today and I sort of wished I didn’t. Not because the movie was terrible, not at all. It is a GREAT movie. But I had no idea how much grief P.L Travers gave the Disney crew. I was trying to learn to love her and she just didn’t do it for me. I am sure she was a sweet woman to others during her lifetime but how she treated them and Walt at that was painful to watch. I command Walt and his employees for dealing with her, if it wasn’t for his persistence we wouldn’t have the wonderful movie which we all love and adore.

      They’re 14th cousins four times removed. That said, 14th cousins is pretty darned far apart. There are probably at number of commenters in this thread who are 14th cousins to Walt Disney.
      On another note, Tom Hanks is also distantly related to Fred Rogers, another person he portrayed. And he’s also related to Abraham Lincoln.

    I'll never forget how this film was so overlooked and sabotaged by the academy. Even Meryl Streep sabotaging Emma's performance because she was fearing it would damage her award season.

    The movie captured the nostalgia and time periods very well. It is well written, and the shifting of time periods was effective. My only gripe is that I don't think Tom Hanks was well cast. He is a great actor but he has no resemblance to Walt Disney in appearance and persona. It should have been that actor from The Artist.

    Bye, Mary Poppins. I want you to know that I do not want you stay away too long.
    It means that I want you to watch over Admiral Boom and it means that I want you to me draw pictures by pencil.

    What!? Emma Thompson is the star of the movie and she speaks once in this video???

    • @aagold76
      @aagold76 10 років тому +2

      and Emma is ALWAYS a great interview- always funny- waste to have her there for 1 question.

    • @JacobWoodring
      @JacobWoodring 10 років тому +4

      From what everyone says about the movie who has seen it before the public has... collin farrel is in it more than Tom Hanks and has more lines... yet he barely spoke in this interview and he is NEVER in the trailer. I wonder why?

    • @JustinHenryfan
      @JustinHenryfan 10 років тому +1

      aagold76 Excatly!
      Jacob Woodring I hear you, except Tom Hanks is like the biggest movie star, considered as a better actor and the movie builds around Thompson's and Hanks' characters + I do think Colin speaks quite frequently...? Anyways...

    • @lynnturman8157
      @lynnturman8157 10 років тому +2

      Jacob Woodring Because they're trying to sell it based on brand recognition. EVERYBODY knows who Walt Disney is. NOT everybody knows who PL Travers' alcoholic father from Australia is.

    • @aagold76
      @aagold76 10 років тому +6

      yes- but Colin Farrell is a huge selling point- I'd rather see his films than Hanks :)

    The flashback scenes added nothing to the movie. When they would start, I would just tune out until the present day scenes returned.

    I found the character of Pamela simply horrid, the way she spoke to people was terrible and pompous
