Mary Poppins refutes this sexist assumption by firmly and happily informing George Banks that she never explains anything. Even in 2018, women are often expected to provide an abundance of evidence or explanations for decisions we make and actions we take, so now is the perfect time to remember her wise words and start refusing to explain everything we say and do.

When the going gets tough, sometimes you need a bit of tape and twine to patch things up. You might accidentally get soot all over your face when you're trying to clean the chimney, so why not spend some time dancing on the rooftops along the way? Actions have consequences As we've already learned, sometimes life can get messy. When it does, it's also our responsibility to clean up those messes and take care of ourselves when the going gets tough. Mary Poppins says, "People with wet feet must take their medicine. "
Unfortunately, "Mary Poppins Returns" falls quite short of being practically perfect in every way. The cast puts on a good show, but very little can be done to salvage the forgettable numbers by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman and dance routines that already look dated. A handful of colorfully charming scenes liven up the movie's dull events, but its copycat story arc isn't strong enough to stand apart from the original. Back in the magical world of Mary Poppins' 1930s England, things are bleak. The Banks' family home is threatened unless they can find the MacGuffin—sorry, I meant proof that the dearly departed old man Banks left behind enough shares in company stock to cover the cost of the mortgage and save their house from foreclosure. The now grown Banks children Michael ( Ben Whishaw) and Jane ( Emily Mortimer) look through the attic, desks and shelves, digging up old childhood relics like their broken kite with their mother's "Votes for Women" sash, but no form to save their home.
Like many lonely and self-absorbed people, she became an easy target for quacks and mystics. When she died in London aged 96 in 1996, she was all but friendless. It is desperately sad that despite the extraordinary joy that her books brought to so many millions of children, Travers was never able to overcome the fallout from her own desolate childhood. She once claimed in an interview that 'Mary Poppins is the story of my life'. Thank goodness, for all of us who have enjoyed it, that this appears to be yet another piece of fiction.
"So nobody has been able to tell which parts are real and which are not … but the stories certainly have autobiographical elements. " The Banks family is indeed like a a reformed version of Travers's own family. Like, for instance, "Mr. Banks is a little bit like my father, " Travers told the BBC in an interview before she died. "And Mrs. Banks... is perhaps a little bit like my mother. " The fictional Banks family does seem to be inspired by Travers's own family—albeit a reformed version. Both fathers were bankers (although Mr. Banks is not a drunk) and both mothers were frivolous (although Mrs. Banks is not suicidal). And, much like Poppins, Morehead was a "great deflater, the enemy of any attempt at whimsy or sentiment, " according to the New Yorker. "But she is also an everyday enchantress, a woman who will scold a child for wearing a coat in a warm room but also one who will take her charges to a midnight congress of animals at the zoo, and on an afternoon trip around the world. "
"Bert is TOTALLY unfazed by her magic. Even when she bends the laws of reality and takes him into a magical chalk universe, it's all just a normal day for Bert and Mary. It doesn't seem likely that she would just befriend some random guy on the street and show him all of her magic. " "Bert has four super-terrible jobs. A one-man-band, a chalk artist, a chimney sweep, and a kite salesman. But he still enjoys what he does, as if someone taught him how to find the fun in hard work with a spoonful of sugar. " "The movie opens with Bert as a one-man-band. He stops mid performance to prophesize that something is about to happen — something that has happened before. Yes! To him, as a child, when she was his nanny. When she leaves, he's totally fine with it, despite clearly loving her company. I think he had to just get used to her leaving when the wind changed, even if it hurt him. " Whatever the case may be, Mary and Bert clearly have a history, but like all of Mary's secrets, maybe we were never fully meant to understand it.
"Returns" is neither really new or familiar, but an odd knockoff that will work for some audiences and leave others craving a rewatch of an old favorite.
