Original Mary Poppins is better than new Mary Poppins

It has its moments.  Observations

  • Dick Van Dyke has the worst fake accent of all time
  • Julie Andrews covers up a whole bundle of flaws
  • This movie goes on weird swings that don't have anything to do with the movie
  • This movie is much more cheerful than the new crapfest
  • The songs go on too long, but are much better and more memorable than the new ones

Anyway, it is better than I expected it to be.

The original Mary Poppins movie was a fraud.  Nothing at all like the books.  The new movie is closer to the second book, but still way too happy.  Actually a very good movie in many ways.

I took the wife to see Mary Poppins (the first) on Broadway.  I was expecting to just put up with the sappy story, see some talent, have a nice weekend.  Total surprise, but intermission everyone in the theater hated every character but Bert and the tuppence lady.  WAY dark!  And  MUCH better story.  But still not as dark as the books (from what I've been told)
