One does not have to scratch very hard at the paint job on Mary Poppins to see that it is selling socialism.

Also recall that Mrs. Banks (Jane and Michael’s mom) was a suffragette, appearing in an early scene with a suffragette ribbon (bearing the words “votes for women”), on her way to a womens’ suffrage meeting; kind of an early example of an “activist,” a prototype for things to come.

She has no time for her children because she’s making the world a better place.

This guy has too much time on his hands. It’s a movie made from a very popular book. The gist of the story is NOT Mr. Banks’ Mid-Life Crisis.

The Daddy goes to work to make money to afford his family a luxurious lifestyle. The Mom is kind of a ditz. The Children are taken care of by a Nanny (who is Magical!) which was pretty much the norm for that place in time and their economic status.

Does EVERYTHING need to be analyzed to the Nth degree? Everything?

Sit down, shut up and pass the popcorn! It’s Movie Night!

P.S. Don’t let this guy analyze ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’ or, ‘It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World’ or, ‘Doctor Doolittle’ or, ‘The Nutty Professor!’

Mary Poppins is a witch. The chimney sweep is the wiccan Stag figure and the gay uncle is just a fairy.

Mary is all about rebellion to Christianity. Mary is far to the left of Bank's wife who wants the vote for women.

Lost me when they got the street address wrong.

17 Cherry Tree Lane.

All this talk of allegory and Mary Poppins reminds me of people trying to read politics into The Wizard of Oz. Stop and think. It MAY just be a fun story for children that takes place when social upheaval is happening.

I think your complaints are with the 1910s, not, with Disney.

I always thought the deep meaning to Marry Poppins was that Brits are weird.

Never saw it. Have wondered once or twice along these many years what the hell it was about.
