Who I rather like quite a bit.

This flick is on my to watch list, but not near the top. It's about Walt Disney, not the most charismatic character to portray on the screen, even if it is Tom Hanks.

I will see this film, but I will not be looking to be bowled over. It is a period piece (a positive for me) but it seems to be a rather droll story line, from what I've heard. Well, Walt was never Mister Excitement, was he?

My regards.

I guess you could say she was really good in this, but I couldn't stand the character. Tom Hanks did a good job, I think.

It is certainly a period piece, and was done well.

I hope you enjoy it! IMDB liked it a lot. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2140373/?ref_=nv_sr_2

and loved Colin Farrell also thought Rachel Griffiths did an excellent job as Aunt Ellie.

do not see Wit although it could be known as Emma's tour de force role in a made for TV movie.

Wit =
A renowned professor is forced to reassess her life when she is diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer.

Thanks for the recommendation!

I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. I just kept waiting for her to somehow be a little more human.

I don't know how far you got into the storyline and if you are not going to finish it I will further elaborate.

Saving Mr. Banks is My kind of film but, I can understand how it is not for everyone.

Also. I LOVE 'hard to love' characters and both PL Travers and Wit are that type character.

I did read the synopsis of the plot on IMDB so I know what happens.

Maybe I should have been more patient, but she made me nuts! Insufferable rigid woman.

I guess I don't love 'hard to love' characters, lol!

she plays that same type of character in Wit and is pretty much the only character on screen for most of the film.

soliloquy after soliloquy. an amazing feat. I was mesmerized.

interesting aside, I cried with both of these films.

they were both achingly heartbreaking to me.

weird, eh?

different strokes for different folks, I guess.

You were heartbroken and mesmerized........I was annoyed beyond belief!

Ah well, that's how things go.

I wanted to like it........I just couldn't.

I think it might be classified as another of that type of film.

I admire him and the character he played was so sympathetic and brave.

It was great.

yes, it Was great.

whew, what a ride that was

In fact, it was 'practically perfect in every way.'

But I am glad you enjoyed it.
