@@minutemilitia6498 So being an emotionally and empathetically detached individual plus being a terrible father is now a good thing? The movie's whole point is that Mary Poppins wasn't there to help the kids, but to help Mr. Banks. The kids might have been a little bratty too, but because they were very young, thus requiring attention, and had lacked an actual paternal figure for most of their lives.
@@anarchicphoenix6028 Yes, a father needs to be involved in the life of his children. However, we could use a lot more of Mr. Banks overall worldview these days. "Tradition, discipline, and rules" (as well as financial saving and prudence) are mocked by the movie and by our culture today, but we are all suffering for it. There's always a balance to aim for, and we've lost our balance in the other direction now. A father who is all play (hard to imagine such a "father" except by his absence) is no better than one who is all discipline and rules.
All the more kickass because in an emergency he cared more about fixing his family no matter what than arrogantly pretending everything was fine. He sings this song because he thinks everything's ok. When he does learn things are not ok he doesn't repeat the song or pretend or avoid. He kills his boss with a pun because his kids need him to smile and his kids are in fact important to him. Putting his money where his mouth is: his home needs fixing so he fixes it.
@@darthparallax5207 Yes, sure, we get it. His relationship with his children needed to be fixed. The movie beats you over the head with it. But what really makes Mr. Banks stand out these days is his embrace of tradition, discipline, rules, order, well-run household, etc. We could use a LOT more of that these days. Families and households are falling apart all over the place. We could use more men who take responsibility for their children/families/households.
i just love the mother's reaction!!!!! especially around the 'heirs to my dominon' part. she just has that look of 'and where exactly are your heirs?' and than it goes to 'oh honey, you idiot, they aren't there!!" LOL i love it!!
I can imagine him doing his wife from the back with his thin 4 incher saying "I'm giving it to you good tonight right my dear" and her replying "oh yes dear, very good"
This sort of rigid, regimented lifestyle is shite. I love chaos and being able to do my own thing because I live alone. I actually don't want to have children partly because I know I'd have to repeat all that regimented routine from my own childhood and inflict it on my kids too.
I love both order and chaos. Chaos can cause problems if it goes too far. Order is only helpful when it's very necessary. My current lifestyle I don't use a bedtime but I do use a rigid wake up alarm and that's important. Rules without reasons are dumb. But rules backed up by experiment experience logic and a real goal and a motive to help are paramount. I remember when trying to find the right bedtime didn't work. Schedules are tricky things to solve. Because they are rigid getting the incorrect number hurts people. But they can be tailored like shoe sizes and once you have the one that fits you won't want it to be chaotic anymore. After All you don't wear five different sizes of shoe!
Fractured, though, is relative. George is right about anarchy and ghastly mess. As messes go, the ones he has are comparatively small and simple, expediently resolved by going kite flying. The Banks parents may not be perfect but they are both loving and affluent and when shown their errors they caringly change because they do value order and if there is a problem it does need taking care of. Its unfortunate it does not get noticed sooner but as soon as it is recognized it is an urgent matter. Many people suffer under the rule of much worse than a silly person failing to notice things: leaders who have spent years and decades admitting to a problem, unable to solve even the smallest issue, and refusing even to admit that perhaps a change in leadership should be given a trial. Banks would not tolerate a problem persisting after he is aware it exists. He would even go far outside his comfort zone to solve it, because his house being in disorder is not acceptable.
They were the rising middle class in the Edwardian era. They were buying up the castles of the impoverished aristocratic class. ...(re-watch 'Downton Abbey')

I think that's what so funny: his everyday routine is a lot more bizarre than he realizes... it's just that he's used to it and it's predictable. Shows you how we get used to all kinds of weird stuff, forget how weird it is, and then fear other new things (like Mary Poppins) just because they're new.
I also have to laugh at the fact that George is completely oblivious to the fact that Katie Nanna has just quit, and he offers to help her with her suitcase and compliments her hat.

I never got the joke about h Katie Nanna stomping away after he compliments her hat but now I do. It's a subtle but hilarious bit of obliviousness on the part of Mr. Banks to just help her out after she just made a big to do about leaving with Mrs. Banks.
@@tigorelloensil3676 idk. To me, coming home from work, lighting a cigar, pouring a glass of whiskey, kissing the kids goodnight, sitting at the fireplace & talking with the misses doesn't sound half bad!
He's not wrong, just not involved. As parents, we all know that's what kids need as well as love and nurturing, but it's the parent's job to do all that, not a nanny and especially not public schools.
1910 was the final year of Edward VII's rule-- I'm sure this was all intended as a bit of satire and irony. They have no idea that the soup's about the hit the fan (World War I and all that...).
Also in 1910 was the year Portugal's Constitutional Monarchy was overthrown by radical republicans. Our last King was D. Manuel II, he ruled from 1908 to 1910 and he attended Edward VII's funeral and he was friend's with the old monarch. I can say 1910 was a terrible year for you Brits and specialy for us Portuguese :( LONG LIVE THE MONARCHY!
hallnoats4ever That's true, I looked up the WW1 recruitment age and turns out it was between 18 and 38, so I learned something new! Nevertheless, he probably would have been required to contribute in some way. 'Doing your bit' and all that.
Mr Banks is the growing upper middle class who will be buying the castles and state houses from the impoverished aristocratic class who cannot afford to pay for their palaces. There needs to be a Downton Abbey cross over
it is the British way. Though Americanisms are seeping in even to the BBC. I will concede that it makes a certain deal of sense to pronounce 'schedule' as one pronounces 'school', but English is a rebel for avoiding regularities in its grammar and pronounciation.
The King Edward he refers to is Edward VII, father of George V, grandfather of Edward VIII and George VI great-grandfather of the current Elizabeth II,
And great-great-grandfather of Charles III. The movie looks like it takes place in the spring of 1910...Edward VII died in May of that year, so Mr. Banks's life is about to change in more ways than one.
I can't help but think about the downward trend of his Lordship Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham (Downton Abbey.) His lot, the aristocracy, is heading downward, whereas Mr Banks' upper middle class is buying up the castles that the nobles can no longer afford to keep up or pay the taxes on.... Such was the changing times then... 🤔
Must have been awesome to have no worries about the world or the future in that time. No worries about climate change, the atomic bomb, economic depression or war and despair. In that time nobody probably ever considered the possibilty of the Empire collapsing. Nowadays everyone expects the fall of civilazation to happen within the next five years.

What I find remarkable is that Mary Poppins, released in 1964, is far closer to 1910 (54 years earlier) than today (58 years later)
If my father sent me off to bed at 6pm every night, I'd probably run off too.
Chad Gervais I agree
That’s what life was like for all rich kids back then.

As an adult now I can truly say Mr. Banks is my favourite character
THE LIFE I LEAD MY FAVORITE SONG FROM MARY POPPINS!!!!
Mr.banks is the kind of person I want to strive to be like.
Does he sing this every evening after work just as she sings her Suffragette song? That must be a weird household.
That's the point of the movie. They are a fractured family
Fractured, though, is relative.
George is right about anarchy and ghastly mess.
As messes go, the ones he has are comparatively small and simple, expediently resolved by going kite flying.

the mother was particularly excited because one of her friend's got arrested. So that was a special occasion. George I think had just had a good day
The highlight of such weirdness can be enjoyed at: "IT'S THE MASTER!"
I still don't understand how they all put up with Admiral Boom's shenanigans.
Well, Admiral Boom is pretty consistent. That's something Mr. Banks could appreciate I imagine.
The same way Emperor Palpatine put up with Tarkin's Death Star.

Thought the exact same thing.
