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.
