Tom and I went to see Mary Poppins Returns yesterday. If you loved the original Mary Poppins movie and wondered if the sequel was worth watching, the answer is yes. It's peppy, sweet, and even a little bit nostalgic.
In the paper recently there was a debate about the Mary Poppins character: Was she truly a magical being, or were her stories so stimulating and imaginative to the other characters that they felt a part of them?
I know which side I'm on.
When I was little, about six or seven, we lived in the second story of a duplex, with a full balcony along the front. I must have read Mary Poppins, or had it read to me, and wondered if I could fly like her. Already understanding the concept of risk assessment, I decided to test the umbrella on its own first. Over the balcony it went.
The experiment was not a success.
I never did find out if I could fly.
And I still believe in magic.
