watchinig 'The nanny diaries'

I found many commons between ‘the nanny diaries’ and a movie ‘Mary Poppins’. Annie is a Nanny, Mery Poppins takes care of kids too. And they both fly with umbrella. Grayer and Annie talk about the longest word, Mary Poppins sings with really longword ‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’. But heroine of this movie is just a white woman who graduated college. I found it interesting that She could be employed at huge company and marry rich man, might be like Ms. X. There are many points of criticize American celebrity and rich people, such as the wife with blonde hair, the husband has a mistress. You can see criticize often through Grayer too. His parents cares about themselves more than him, they change his nanny many times for little things. When Annie started to taking care of him, he was being difficult. Because he was lonely. But time goes by, he started to trust and love her. When Annie left him, he cried and run after her. The scene shows you how much kids want their parents to care about them, and most of rich celebrity did not. This story also tells you how valuable to spend time with your family. And also says sometimes you need to take time to mirror yourself.
