    Movies & Languages 2014-2015 Saving Mr. Banks About the movie (subtitled version) DIRECTOR John Lee Hancock YEAR / COUNTRY 2013 / USA GENRE Comedy ACTORS T. Hanks, E. Thompson, C. Farrell, P. Giamatti PLOT Walt Disney, a doting father, promised his daughters that he would bring their favourite fictional nanny, Mary Poppins, to life in the cinema. Little did he know what he was getting into because the author of the book, Pamela Travers, did not like Hollywood and had no intention of letting her most famous creation be manipulated for the marketplace. Years later, when her book sales began to slow, dwindling finances forced her to schedule a meeting with Disney to discuss future movie rights to her beloved story. For two weeks in 1961, a determined Disney did all he possibly could to convince Travers that his film version of Mary Poppins would be wondrous and respectful. In the end, to really convince her, he had to reach back to his early childhood. LANGUAGE Standard American, Australian and British English. GRAMMAR As and Like 1. Similarity We can use like or as to say things that are similar. a. Like is a preposition. We use like before a noun or pronoun.

The cast has been in rehearsals for almost three months now, and is thrilled to bring the show to stage, and to share it with you.

Featuring the classic music and characters of the movie, it nonetheless reinvented and deepened the story of the Banks family, adding interesting new characters and heartfelt new music. And since no one could imagine Mary Poppins without a little “magic,” it also seems includes some special treats for the audience.
