Thought 599: A Note on Mary Poppins


The flying kite in Mary Poppins
can be read as being the soul of
Mr Banks. The kite is lost at the
beginning of the film and flown
at the end of the film, as Mr
Banks has evolved from
capitalist conventionality
to magical consciousness.

The key is that money
is moneye: the tuppence
symbolises conscience.
