Generally speaking, there have essentially been three visions of Cabaret. First was Hal Prince's colorful, winking production featuring the inimitable Joel Gray's MC. Then, Fosse made his movie - a great movie - sleazier and sultrier. And then there's my least favorite: Sam Mendes's colorless, heroine chic version. My fav by far is Prince's original. But all three are are artfully made with strong vision and immense craft.
That said, I'll take a holiday with Mary every time.
I want to say… I understand you. I also know there're many people in the movie circles hating Mary Poppins. They look down upon it, ignore it, dismiss it… And I can understand them to some extent. But in fact, I still don't think laugh, happiness, struggling in the reality but try to smile… is less holy. To be honest, I had a tendency to depression before, but after watching Mary Poppins-- Wow… It's really simple, but… What a special charm that I don't know how to describe it with words… It saved me. Maybe I just forgot, though there're some sufferings we really can't overcome, a spoonful of sugar still helps the medicine go down, and sometimes we can go to feed the birds or fly a kite✨…
Thank you, just my opinion🤗. Thank you Mary Poppins also…… Very Much.
I appreciate your very thoughtful response. My feelings about the film aren't a dismissal of the messages it contains. I simply don't enjoy the execution. I bear no malice nor disdain for any who love the film, and I'm aware that it's considered a classic. I can sing along with all of the characters as readily as any of Mary Poppins' many fans, and if the film is something that brings you joy or hope, it serves a purpose.
mary poppins any day of the week, i fear

One of my favorites vs. one of my least. I will happily be on the losing side of this battle.

Thank you very much😌💝… Cabaret is very great too✨! I love them both, but just maybe Mary Poppins holds a special meaning for me💫……
But I don't think you'll be on the losing side🤗… Just as I said before, there are many people hating Mary Poppins, too😉.
