How could the academy give the award for the best actress in a leading role to julie andrews,instead of giving it to AUDREY HEPBURN?Only because Audrey didn”t really perform the songs of My fair lady?Well everyone should know that Audrey had worked very hard on her voice.She was told only very late and that she would have been dubbed replaced.Well sometimes the wicked witches win.Perhaps Mary Poppins put a magic pill in the urns of the jurors.

I hated Mary Poppins the first time I watched it and wrote a very mean review for it. I watched it again and though it is not something I want to watch everyday, like The Sound of Music, it is an alright film that people can live through. The songs are really wonderful and touching. The children are very cute even thoguh at times they lack the personality of some other children from one of Julie’s other movies made a year later. I think of this movie kindov as a stepping stone to greatness for Julie because this movie was the precurser to the good things to come in “The Sound of Music.” I would recommend if you want to see a really flawless musical about a nanny watch “The Sound of Music.” It is onehundred times better. Mary Poppins however is good in its own right. And one more thing. All the people who continue to whine that Audrey should have gotten the Academy Award instead of Julie need to get over it. Julie was just as deserving and MFL won for best piture so you really should jsut stop complaining. Audrey is a good actress, but let me remind you Julie’s performance was superior because she acted, sang and danced and did all of them well. Also compared to Julie’s performance on Broadway, Audrey really stunk in MFL. Audrey got her fame from doing a lot of alright movies, but let me remind you that Julie Andrews were always be remebered for her great performance in Mary Poppins that made the movie. And for the one movie that will live forever “The Sound of Music.”

Whim worshippers unite and snap your fingers at your senses, at reality, at virtues like responsibility and productivity and earned rewards-and applaud a gushing, unblushing presentation of just such finger-snapping in “Mary Poppins” (aka “The Triumph of the Whim”). Contrary to undoubtedly popular belief, this film is neither a cheery confection nor a harmless celebration of the imagination. In fact, “Mary Poppins” projects a truly deadly sense of life, sending a horrible message to children and adults alike that the mind doesn’t matter and that life-affirming values based in and on reality don’t matter; indeed, and in short, that you can have any cake you want and eat it, too. Its presentation of mindless, effortless wish-fulfillment is an artistic and moral crime.
This movie also bubbles with random, meaningless foam from start to finish. Care to fathom the foam? It takes the form of several creative and colorful-but invariably shallow and incredibly absurd-musical sequences.
This movie also spews spittle from start to finish. Can you spot the spit? It takes the form of uniformly insulting presentations of humanity. For instance: children (spoiled, caprice-driven), parents (silly, self-absorbed, irresponsible, incapable), businessmen/bankers (grasping, stiff, doddering, ridiculous), as well as several other unflattering, irredeemable individual portraits:
–an irresponsible, supernatural nanny whose “virtue” is filling kids’ heads with and exposing them to nonsense
–a devil-may-care drifter/street beggar who is a “hero” precisely because he is devil-may-care
–an old navy man whose “distinction” is madness
–an old “bachelor” whose “appeal” consists in his laughing immoderately at trifles (or next to nothing)
–a derelict, pigeon-feeding bag lady (of all the inspiring examples available to choose from in the human pantheon) who is the “worthy” subject of a truly beautifully sung song
The stars Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke project warmth and charisma in their roles, but so what? Such qualities are hitched to darkness, not light; and golden talent like theirs only seems to make this film genuinely glitter. Scratch the speciously shiny surface of “Mary Poppins” and you’ll find nothing but a lump of condemnable coal. R.I.P. “Mary Poppins” (or Rip Her To Shreds)

This is one of the worst films to hit the Disney masterpiece collection. It’s an overrated movie for ages 5 and younger. The characters didn’t interest me at all and The “CHIM CHIMITY” song was awful and so where were the other songs. If Disney dosent get their act together they will fall and DreamWorks will rise.
