Things Only Adults Notice In Mary Poppins

Posted by Erma Hippe on Friday, May 3, 2024

By the end of the movie, Mary Poppins has left, but it turns out to not be such a tragedy because Mr. Banks has been fired. Some people in this situation might worry about practical things, like how they'll support their family, but Mr. Banks instead decides to finally spend time with his family. It's a heartwarming moment, seeing Jane and Michael happy to be with their dad, but as an adult, you're likely to worry about the future of the family now that its breadwinner is unemployed.

That fear is soon alleviated, though, because we soon find out that Mr. Banks' boss is actually dead! Now Mr. Banks is being re-hired to take his place. The family's future is secured, but it's a bit disturbing when you realize that Mr. Banks actually killed his boss, who died while laughing at a joke Mr. Banks told him. While he's assured that it's a good thing the man died happy, it's still a pretty morbid way to end a children's film. 

Think of the lesson it teaches! Just remember, kids: don't laugh too hard... you might literally die.
