Mary Poppins
69Worth an evening.
Watch it for the father who comes back down the stairs, not for the carpet bag.
The review
The carpet bag is the advertisement. Under it, a father in London has organized his house so that the children are an interruption and the bank is the life. A nanny arrives who will not run the nursery as a storage room. The songs are pleasures. They are also a way of saying, in front of the children, that the work of a father is not the same thing as a position.
I put this on for a house without negotiating. The magic stays inside the errand. When he comes down the stairs with the mended kite, the film has done the only thing it needed to do. You can skip the reputation and still keep that scene. Ask, before the next busy week, which staircase in your own house has not been come down.
Journal
Keep Mary Poppins in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 69. Yours can differ.
The glance
Piety is the thin one.
Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
The Sound of Music
78 instead of 69
The Sound of Music is still a musical film, and it scores 78 instead of 69. What you gain is piety: The abbey is a real place with a real rule.
The eight
- 8Industry
The work on screen is a household: children, a bank, a kite, a father who has to return.
- 9Household
The children are the point of the house, and the film does not trade them for a career.
- 5Piety
No sermon. The measure is whether a man will leave the bank in time for his own children.
- 6Courage
She risks being dismissed, and he risks the opinion of the bank, which is his whole fear.
- 5Republic
A bank is a public thing. The film's debt is to one family, not to a city.
- 7Temperance
The magic is in service of a bedtime and a kite, and it stops when the house can hold.
- 7Truth
He has been telling himself the bank is love. The film does not let that sentence stand.
- 8Stewardship
A child can leave with a father who came home, which is the right souvenir.
