The room with the piano would have been so smoky they could have filmed a Smokey Bear ad: Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires.<br /><br />LCBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03146393047895889252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-79802973501208899212014-01-10T11:07:16.647-05:002014-01-10T11:07:16.647-05:00At least once, Disney is shown fumbling madly for ...At least once, Disney is shown fumbling madly for an ashtray in a small billow of smoke--<br /><br /> I thought he portrayed a lot of the <i>feeling</i> of the man but he was, somehow, "Tom Hanks playing Walt Disney." I don't think that's even his fault; he did his darnedest. It's just there's an awful lot of Tom Hanks around Tom Hanks.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-50161357111483376762014-01-10T10:11:07.668-05:002014-01-10T10:11:07.668-05:00Saw Saving Mr. Banks with my better 1/2.

I had read complaints that Hanks didn't portray Disney because he was never shown smoking. But...the smoking WAS mentioned...and every time he coughed the smokers cough I felt a stab inside. Disney was very much a part of my childhood and I remember when he died.<br /><br />I also remember being confused that he was still on TV after he died. I was 6 at the time and didn't understand "taped TV"...reruns in other words. :-)<br /><br />Have not heard of the movie Europa. I'll have to check it out.<br /><br />ALL OF THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS<br />EXCEPT EUROPA<br />ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERELCBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03146393047895889252noreply@blogger.com
