Mary Poppins Return (2018)

Hello again everyone! We meet again, this time I’m going to give you my opinion regarding this wonderful film I recently watched. Surely you must have known about it by now,    it is Mary Poppins Return (2018)! A brilliant return from the classic 1960s film Mary Poppins, Mary Poppins Return has attracted old or even new fans. Mary Poppins Returns is a 2018 American musical fantasy comedy film directed by Rob Marshall, with a screenplay written by David Magee and a story by Magee, Marshall, and John DeLuca. Based on the book series Mary Poppins by P. L. Travers,[1] the film is a sequel to the 1964 film Mary Poppins, and stars Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins, with Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Whishaw, Emily Mortimer, Julie Walters, Dick Van Dyke, Angela Lansbury, Colin Firth, and Meryl Streep in supporting roles. Set in 1930s London, twenty-five years after the events of the original film, the film sees Mary Poppins, the former nanny of Jane and Michael Banks, returning one year after a family tragedy.

This magical adventure of a movie sure has many lovable and cherishable moments, but there is one scene that in my opinion really hits it home, it is none other than the return of THE Marry Poppins herself!

After her disappearance decades in the past, Mary Poppins made her spectacular comeback in 2018, gliding the sky and through the cloud while holding a patched kite rather than her usual umbrella. While her other moments is just as amazing, I’m sure everyone can agree this scene in particular made the best impression. The rush of joy and nostalgia during this scene surely made any watcher shed a tear. The loving and unpredictable nanny is here again to fulfill your childhood and of course, blew everyone’s mind.

Being the musical film as it is, Mary Poppins Return has its share of wonderful song and music, but in my opinion the best music, with the best lyric and meaning is “Can You Imagine That?” sung by Mary Poppins herself. Though I have to say my favorite lyric from the song is

               "So perhaps we've learned after the day is done
Some stuff and nonsense can be fun"

After hard day of work and all stuff boring, sometime it is nice to lay back and let go of your imagination. The lyric hold true for the old viewer that has lost their childlike mind, it reminded them there is nothing wrong to be a child again and let loose rather than letting your imagination fade away.
