FLASHBACK REVIEW- PIECE OF CAKE

                Alright, guys. As I said, this specific review will be sort of a flashback from last year. So, this is the chance you have to see about the movies that you've heard about, but have never seen. This is your chance to see what those movies are about, and see if you wanna get them on Redbox, or see them on Netflix. So, I hope this helps with those movie decisions.

THE DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY

                That's right, folks! We're doing reviews on one of the greatest trilogies of all time. And, thanks to Christopher Nolan, such an amazing director, we will be going deeper into the story of Batman the way that Mr. Nolan wanted to tell it. We will tell you Bruce Wayne's story the way that Mr. Nolan interpreted it. And for those of you that never really understood how the story was meant to be told, well, this is your chance to find out in our FIRST FLASHBACK REVIEW!

BATMAN BEGINS

                As said in the title, this is the origin story of The Dark Knight. The story begins at Wayne Manor, around the time that Bruce Wayne himself was about 12 years old, give or take 1 or 2 years. Bruce and an old-time friend, Rachel, are running around the mansion's gardens.

               Bruce says to Rachel, "Rachel lemme see!"

               "Finders- Keepers. Losers- Weepers. I found it, it's mine."

               "My garden."

               Rachel opens her hand to reveal an old worn-down arrow-head, and Bruce snatches it from her hand and runs, yelling, "FINDERS- KEEPERS!"

               "HEY!" Rachel screams back, running after Bruce.

                Bruce successfully outruns Rachel and is hiding behind a pot, standing on an old and dry well's board covers.

               "Bruce?" says Rachel to the air.

                As Bruce smiles, he suddenly drops down into the well, and crashes to the bottom. Rachel hears the sound, and runs over to see Bruce. As soon as she sees him, she runs back to the manor to go and get her parents, and the Waynes.

              Bruce, while waiting, looks over into a crack, and sees something moving. He stays still, afraid of what could come out. All of a sudden, bats fly out, and in a terrified condition, swarm around Bruce, and fly out of the well.

             Bruce Wayne wakes up about 10 to 15 years later in a jail cell. Breakfast time.

Sorry I have to cut short, but this is pretty long, so I'll finish it up later! Thanks for viewing anyway!

Saving Mr. Banks

              Saving Mr. Banks is the story of the woman who created Mary Poppins, one of the most popular films and most beloved Disney nannies of all time. Mrs. P.L. Travers is the main character, a woman who has placed a wall around herself because of her tragic past with her alcoholic father. She is portrayed as a stone-set woman who is never satisfied with anything, and is a very hard woman to please or move. 
              The story begins in 1906, when Mrs. Travers was a young girl by the name of Ginty. It shows her and her father, a loving man who wants the best for her daughters, but doesn't seem too focused on his marriage. Ginty and her family are moving from their rural Australian home to a far-away cottage out in the Australian country. These small snippets of Mrs. Travers' life are shown throughout the story to help explain why she is so stone-set.
              The story then moves to 1961, 55 years in the future, where Walt Disney is trying earnestly to buy the rights to Mary Poppins to make it into a film. Mrs. Travers hasn't agreed for 20 years, but with no money left, she has no choice. She flies to California from England, an 11 hour flight, giving way to more insight into her childhood. 
              The process of making Mary Poppins into a film begins, but progress is extremely slow, because Mrs. Travers is never satisfied with what Walt or her crew wants to do with the film. She is set on making it into a film that reveals to children the darkness that is awaiting them in the world, while Walt Disney wants to make it into a film that is happy and shows that forgiveness solves everything. 
              Mrs. Travers isn't happy about that. Because, you see, Mary Poppins' story isn't about Mary at all. It's not about the children, it's not about the Banks Family, not about Dick Van Dike's character, not anything in the film. The story is about her. Mrs. Travers' real name is Helen Goff, and her drunken father died when she was very young, scarring her forever. 
             As Saving Mr. Banks progresses, we see why the film is called so. Mr. Banks is Mrs. Travers' father, being portrayed as Jane and Michael's father. Mrs. Travers is trying to preserve her father in the pages and film of Mary Poppins. 
            Walt finally realizes this, and makes a promise... that Mr. Goff will live on forever in imagination, his memory will forever be preserved as Mr. Banks, and his memory will forever be honored to those who know the history of Mary Poppins. Walt fulfills his promise, and Mary Poppins is successfully made into one of the most critically acclaimed and most beloved movies of all time. 
           I would highly recommend this story to anyone who is a fan of anything Disney, and is interested in the history of Disney's films. This story is moving, and will bring you to the edge of tears, this is a story of forgiveness. 
            So the moral is revealed: With forgiveness, even the hardest person to deal with can be changed.
