Mary Poppins
This is a timeless classic for everyone to enjoy. The story addresses many family issues that were as problematic at the beginning of the twentieth century as they are today: responsibility, accountability, and the proper role of parents in the rearing of their children. In the Banks household, we find a family with many of the same problems that afflict today’s families: two parents, each focused on their own interests, each so busy with their own lives that they have precious little time to forge and maintain loving bonds with their children. What are the possible consequences for the children? How can these problems be addressed and solved? The beauty of this story is that it’s done in a way that’s also easy for kids, even younger ones to understand and learn from.

The movie; Mary Poppins

London, England, 1910. Meet the Banks family, a typical upper middle class family living at the height of the Edwardian era in British history. George Banks, the father, is an executive at the local bank. He’s the fussy, stuffy, "lord of his castle," and a distant, stern disciplinarian toward his two children, Jane and Michael (ten and eight years old, respectively.) Winifred Banks, the mother, is caring and compassionate toward the children, but is so involved in the women’s suffrage movement that she doesn’t spend a whole lot of time with Jane and Michael. Consequently, the children are most often left in the care of a nanny.

The Banks family has a problem. They can’t seem to keep a nanny for more than a few weeks. Over the years, Jane and Michael have innocently provided a source of frustration to a whole series of nannies. When their latest nanny abruptly quits, George Banks decides to take on the task of hiring a new nanny himself. The movie starts off with Mr. and Mrs. Banks and their two children, Jane and Michael in the house. Outside stands a long line of Nannies wanting the position to care for young Jane and Michael. Mr. Banks awaits them in his study, as the children view them from their room. Deciding that they know what kind of Nanny they want they write a list of what attributes this Nanny must possess. Their father quickly dismisses this as nonsense, tears up the letter and throws it in the fire place. Soon you see the pieces sucked up through the chimney and out.

The next morning, out of the sky drops Mary Poppins, responding to that same torn up letter. She arrives at the Banks household and is immediately hired by a confused George Banks. Mary Poppins embarks on a course of teaching the children a sense of discipline and responsibility. She does this through kindness and compassion mixed with a quiet firmness and determination. The children stand in awe of all of her capabilities. She teaches them that everything you do can be made a game causing the time to pass quickly and the task more enjoyable.

Soon, Jane and Michael are responding to her life lessons with enthusiasm. Those lessons take the form of dazzling, magical outings for the children, courtesy of the "practically perfect" Mary Poppins, accompanied by her cheerful and trusted friend, Bert who is a chimney sweep by night and an artist by day. Mary has the uncanny ability to take the children on adventures into the magical wonderlands. From popping into sidewalk chalk pictures, to having high tea on the ceiling with Uncle Albert, the laughing man, to dancing on London rooftops with hundreds of Bert’s fellow chimney sweeps, the children learn the value of true friendship, loving family relationships, and responsibility.

These high adventures prove a source of consternation to George Banks, however. Unable to tolerate anything that smacks of frivolity or, in his words, "sugary female thinking," he constantly upbraids Mary Poppins for not teaching his children about responsibility as he sees it. George believes his children should focus on the seriousness of life as embodied in his career as a banker. He decides to take Jane and Michael on an outing of his own to the Bank. How will the children respond to the lessons George tries to teach them? Will the children find themselves drawn closer to their father as a result of their visit to the bank? What lessons does Mary Poppins teach the entire Banks family during her short visit? Watch this beautiful movie to find out!!

The movie is an adaptation from Mary Poppins, a story from the series of British children’s books authored by P.L. Travers (1899-1996). It’s a wonderful story that teaches strong family values.

The cast is perfection in itself, the acting divine, leaving a taste of wonderment and smiles on all who watch it. The music is unforgettable. Each song is in itself a classic and makes this film such a wonderful musical experience. It won an Oscar for Best Music Scoring Oscar (music score substantially original)

And then there's the magic... the special effects whish ensured this movie an Oscar for the Best Special Visual Effects. In its day, Mary Poppins was on the "cutting edge" of movie-making technology. It was one of the first films to combine real-life actors and animation extensively (the entire sequence with Mary, Bert and the children inside the sidewalk chalk picture.) These special effects may seem a bit tame when compared with today’s computer-generated graphics, but make no mistake: they’re still eye-popping!!

Mary Poppins is at once brilliantly funny, poignant, joyous, carefree, and just plain marvelous entertainment.
