Review of Mary Poppins (1964) by Arth J — 21 Apr 2018

Suitable for the occasion..

Mary Poppins.

There are few sketchy overstretched musical sequences that; even though looks stunning and pleasing on terms of visual aspects, seems redundant and required better editing. Having said that, the choreography, background score, songs, costume design and production design are at their peak that speaks more than anything in here. Robert Stevenson is in his A game and doesn't fail on conveying the anticipated message to the audience. Julie Andrews is the genuinely the "protagonist" in this feature that needs no support as she carries it all off in her shoulder like a charm. Mary Poppins works particularly for its sensibility and simplicity of picking up a concept through something so common and mundane (like a tuppence) that it resonates and communicates with the audience in a click and still reach for more general and wider vision.
