   “Now the City was a place where Mr Banks went every day ~ except Sundays, of course, and Bank Holidays ~ and while he was there he sat on a large chair in front of a large desk and made money. All day long he worked, cutting out pennies and shillings and half-crowns and threepenny bits. And he brought them home with him in his little black bag. Sometimes he would give some to Jane and Michael for their money-boxes, and when he couldn’t spare any he would say, ‘The Bank is broken,’ and they would know he hadn’t made much money that day.”

(P.L.Travers)

""When I last saw Gurdjieff, just before he died, he said he would give me something for the rest of my life. And he did. I know that somehow this has been received by me.” (She did not try to explain what that “something” was.) “How has it changed me? I don’t know, I feel myself not changed, but ripening. For me there are no answers, only questions, and I am grateful that the questions go on and on. I don’t look for an answer because I don’t think there is one. I’m very glad to be the bearer of a question."” ~ P. L. Travers

TIL in Saving Mr. Banks, absolutely no mention is made of the fact that, during the time of the film's events, P.L. Travers was engaging in an openly lesbian relationship with her live-in girlfriend, and the girlfriend in question is never once seen.

"Mary Poppins" by P.L.Travers with drawings by Mar Shepard. Puffin first edition published by Penguin in 1964

Call it a hunch, but I feel that P.L. Travers would NOT have approved of the usage of Mary Poppins in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2″.

“How dare they use MY Mary Poppins in such a filthy, shallow,  and disgusting film, and then have the audacity to compare that ugly blue man to her? AND PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING IT LIKE SHE DIDN’T MATTER AT ALL? I should not have sold the rights to that bastard to begin with...”

Maryborough in Australia has Mary Poppins pedestrian lights. P.L.Travers (the author) was born there.

You know what i hate? When people are like: “Can’t Disney stop making sequels and especially remakes and be original again?” Honestly, how many Disney movies are there that are original? At least of those that are popular and well known to be from Disney? Most of the most popular Disney movies have their sources in fairytales or books. Just like Mary Poppins does. And the original source of Mary Poppins is not one book but a book series with eight books! And the second book is called “Mary Poppins comes back” so the titel of the Mary Poppins sequel is very similar to that. Yes in the book Jane and Michael never grow up, so the second book is not about their children but about more adventures Mary has with them, but then again the books don’t have a a full plotline but every chapter is like a oneshot that stands for itself and a movie needs a plotline that goes through the whole story. So since there are so many great adventures in the Mary Poppins books that aren’t shown in movie form and Mary Poppins world certainly deserves to be rememberd forever in every form of shape, i think it’s okay to add another plotline to have a full stor for a movie.

And to everyone who says “They shouldn’t be doing that they are destroying this wonderful original movie. They anyway can’t life up to that”, they aren’t touching the original movie! They are adding something, but if you don’t like that you can just ignore that. The original Mary Potter movie will not be touched, it can exist on it’s own if you want it to. It will stay it’s glorious self no matter what. I mean it’s also not like the movie has changed the book version. The movie only creates an alternate aspect to the story of Mary Poppins. The story doesn’t get changed, the magic doesn’t get changed the beauty doesn’t get changed. Only different aspecs get added to it in some ways. If P.L.Travers wanted that or not is a completly different discussion. Also it has been stated that in no means the movie makers believe they can be as good as the original movie. They know they can’t achive that, but they will try their best to make an awesome tribute andi am sure if we give them a chance then this movie can be exactly this. I  personally will enjoy this movie, with every hint it gives to the original and i am looking forward to see Jane and Michael gron up and everything else that has changed in the time since Mary Poppins left. Because all i can think of is that Mary Poppins is coming back and isn’t that just fantastic?

快乐不代表一切都很完美，而是选择不去纠结于那些不完美。 Happiness doesn't m ean perfection; it means you choose not to get bogged down by all the imperfections. 欢乐满人间 2(Mary Poppins Returns), 2019 免费下载:http://www.dushexiazai.com/movie/12268.html Mary Poppins是一个耳熟能详的名字，这个角色源自于一系列的知名英国童书，在1930年代到1980年间畅销全球。 原作者P.L.Travers在60年代将故事与角色授权给迪士尼，制作了由Julie Andrews主演的《欢乐满人间》这部经典电影。 而在2019年迪士尼也重新打造了续集《欢乐满人间2》：由Emily Blunt来重新诠释Mary Poppins，叙述在第一集最后离开了的Mary Poppins，相隔数十年后再度回归来拯救班克斯 一家。 但是比较少人知道的是，其实迪士尼在这两部电影中间，曾经推出过一部由Emma Thompson与Tom Hanks 所主演的《大梦想家》（Saving Mr. Banks），叙述Mary Poppins原创者PLTravers 与迪士尼剧组为《欢乐满人间》编剧的经过，并且在电影中影射她��创作其实是源自于她自己的悲惨童年故事。 https://www.instagram.com/p/BxD6m-gA_6Q/?igshid=174pq16hq1u0q

She's a fictional witch played by Julie Andrews who can control the weather and talk to animals. Unless you're suggesting the aunt of P.L.Travers could do the same, I think you've lost sight of your argument here.

I’m sure other people have pointed this out, but in the Edwardian era, most medicines did contain copious amounts of cocaine. So John Oliver is right, Mary Poppins was pushing coke on the Banks children.

Mary Poppins in un libro illustrato

Così fu deciso, e così fu che la famiglia Banks venne ad abitare al numero diciassette,  con Mrs Brill a cucinare per loro, Ellen ad apparecchiare la tavola, e Robertson Ay a tagliare il prato e pulire i coltelli e lucidare le scarpe, e, come diceva sempre Mr Banks, “a perdere il suo tempo e il mio denaro!” cit. dal libro “Mary Poppins” di P.L.Travers

Anche oggi ci troviamo a parlare di Mary…
