There are many conflicts in the movie. The Kids never, ever, did anything with their dad, until they went to the bank together. The children’s mother didn’t really show that she loved them. But at the end of the movie she puts her political ribbon on the tail of the kite.
Mary Poppins will be a symbol to the family because the kids and she did things unimaginable. They jumped into a painting and walked along the country side. They went to Uncle Albert’s and if they laughed they went up to the ceiling. Many other magical things happened like flying up a chimney. Finally they walked up stairs made of chimney soot.
