Movie Case Study
Q1 : Do you think Mrs Travers wanted her story to have happy ending , or not?
Yes , I do think that Mrs Travers wanted her story to have a happy ending. From the beginning of the movie , Mrs Travers was the famous and financially strapped author of Marry Poppins. She was urged by her agent , Mr Diarmuid Russell to meet up with Mr Walt Disney who had been longing for the film rights of Marry Poppins as his daughters’ begged him to perform their favourite books into the big screen. He never realised that it could take him 20 years to make his promise. At the beginning , Mrs Travers kept on expressing her disdain for animated feature films that Mr Disney had produced. She did not live easy during her childhood. Her father who was an alcoholism had died at young age as he suffered from tuberculosis and this causes her mother to attempt suicide. Therefore , she had always been realistic towards the world and disdain towards the fantasy world. Characters in Marry Poppins were inspired by her past. I believe that Mrs Travers did not want to disappoint the readers with her writings and never wanted to fail to attract the readers including Mr Disney daughters who loved Marry Poppins a lot.
Mrs Travers was scared to trust the adults because they never failed to disappoint her since she was little , so she can’t even trust Mr Walt with her story as she did not think that Mr Walt could film it well. Besides , her criticisms towards the script written by the creative team had been increasing as the bitter memories of her childhood begun to resurface again. It shows that times really heal up the wound when the creative team continued to write new scripts that could really satisfied her and added a new song to close the film. Then , she was slowly engaged with the team. This shows that Mrs Travers had always searched for the good piece of work though the memories of her childhood continued to tear up her wounds.
Everyone has their own story behind. Mr Disney had also
