Mary Poppins is not so bad.

I think there is a weird undercurrent in Mary Poppins that's discernible for a child, and it's not salutary.

The authoress was an occultist. Now matter how Disney may have mutilated her film, that view is projected in some way, even if it only causes a slightly queasy feeling when watching the film.

Mary Poppins is a really good movie it encourages, imgination, music,discipline, being a family, and cleaning up your toys. And the Sound of Musicis also kind of like that too,and let alone it is acceptable for children, new films now always has something wrong with them, rude humor,imodesty,drugs, smoking, and things that just dont need to be there

Despite no recent comments to this thread, I have a question for movie-goers and/or techno geeks. I've been physically unable to attend a movie in a theater since about the early to mid 1970s. Between the "dark" flickering visuals and a constant "roar" that I can feel throughout my entire body as well hear, I am overtaken by a panic attack within a quarter hour. Not that it is any great loss! I do wonder what changed around that time. Old movies in a theatre do not have this effect. The subject matter of the movie is irrelevant. Any answers for me?

I would guess that old films would have had more smoking in them, but now it's not PC, newer films would have less.

I don't know exactly what changed in the 1970's ... but I would guess that it was just a constant progression with film and stereo quality. Everything bigger, louder and more extreme. Plus, it seems that there are fads in filmmaking just like everything else. For example since around the time of a movie called "The Blair Witch Project" (which I have NEVER seen, just heard about), the shaky camera movement thing has been utilized off and on ... I don't remember when that was .... but I'd say at least 15 years .. and when it turned up in the last Jason Bourne film it made me SO sick! There have been a few other films that either had shaky camera techniques or extreme angles and swooping effects that made it so I couldn't watch the film. But I also can't handle the IMAX films or motion simulator things either.

Most movies of the past few decades are either stupid or evil. I can barely stand to watch most of them without being overwhelmed by disgust.

I'm sick and tired of the endless permutations of Jєωιѕн mental disease being pushed onto us in these plastic live-action cartoons.
