"Old Movies 66 Years Ago"

The year before last Disney released Mary Poppins: Returns. I am a person who breaks the casserole and asks the end and is obsessed with finding the original, so I found the book and found the 1964 version of the movie resource.

The old movies have been lying in the hard drive for so long, and I finally have time to watch them today. Compared to the new movies with better picture quality and special effects in 18 years, I actually prefer the old version 66 years ago with poor picture quality and poor special effects.

The same meticulous haircut, fancy bowler hat, bright scarf, dark coat, parrot head parasol and the most magical carpet bag made of Baibao. The new version of Mary rolls her eyes impatiently at every turn, and the deliberate expression of love can be seen as abrupt. Although the old version of Mary is not easy to fool, love, patience, warmth and care are all in one word and deed.

The first climax of the old version of the plot was when Mary took the children to play in Bert's chalk drawings. Although the special effects were awkward, it was refreshing and played a role in changing the rhythm and atmosphere of the film. The 18th edition climaxed one after another, and Meryl Streep was pulled to create a magical flip house, and even in order to cater to contemporary children, there was an exciting carriage chase scene, but everything was so unexpectedly ordinary, not the ordinary of the old story. Happiness and magic are unexpected.

I may keep the 64 version and watch it several times, like "Paddington" 1. The 18th version is the Disney standard assembly line. I have watched it again. Okay, I know the plot. Goodbye.

Mary Poppins should be considered a comedy, but it is not a typical comedy. It’s as strange as me. Every time I laugh arrogantly after watching a comedy (especially a Chinese comedy), the more happy I laugh in the theater, the more depressed I will be, so I usually don’t watch comedy, let alone go to the cinema to watch comedy (unless I have not done my homework. Wrong choice). However, such as Mary Poppins, such as Paddington, can be healed inexplicably after watching it, and I will be happy in my heart.

Maybe Chinese comedy movies are too lively, too unfriendly to me who always watch movies by myself, and I will be lonely. But I really enjoy the sound effects of the theater, and the satisfaction of having a ticket to book a venue when watching unpopular movies. At this time, the desire to build a personal theater at home is very strong.

Mary Poppins quotes

  • Horseman: [saluting] View halloo!

    Horse: [also saluting] Oh, yes, definitely. A view halloo.

    Fox: View halloo?

    [the horseman blows his bugle and the others pursue the fox]

    Fox: Faith and begora, 'tis them Redcoats again!

  • Jane: Oh, Bert, we're so frightened.

    Bert: Now, now, don't take on so. Bert will take care of you. Like I was your father. Now, who's after you?

    Jane: Father is.

    Bert: What?

    Michael: He brought us to see his bank.

    Jane: I don't know what we did, but it must have been something dreadful.

    Michael: He sent the police after us, and the army, and everything.

    Jane: Michael, don't exaggerate.

    Bert: Well now, there must be some mistake. Your dad's a fine gentleman and he loves you.

    Jane: I don't think so. You should have seen the look on his face.

    Michael: He doesn't like us at all.

    Bert: Well now, that don't seem likely, does it?

    Jane: It's true.

    Bert: Let's sit down. You know, begging your pardon, but the one my heart goes out to is your father. There he is, in that cold heartless bank day after day, hammed in by mounds of cold heartless money. I don't like to see any living thing caged up.

    Jane: Father in a cage?

    Bert: They makes cages of all sizes and shapes, you know. Bank-shaped, some of them, carpets and all.

    Jane: Father's not in trouble. We are.

    Bert: Oh. Sure about that, are you? Look at it this way. You've got your mother to look after you and Mary Poppins and Constable Jones and me. Who looks after your father? Tell me that. When something terrible happens, what does he do? Fends for himself, he does. Who does he tell about it? No one. Don't blab his troubles at home. He just pushes on at his job, uncomplaining and alone and silent.

    Michael: He's not very silent.

    Jane: Michael, be quiet. Bert, do you think father really needs our help?

    Bert: Well, it's not my place to say. I only observe that a father can always do with a bit of help. Come on, I'll take you home.
