The Sound of Music (1965)


Director: Robert Wise

Producers: Robert Wise, Peter Levathes, Saul Chaplin

Cast: Julie Andrews (Maria von Trapp) Christopher Plummer (Georg von Trapp), Eleanor Parker (The Baroness).

A really happy movie. I really think that this is the best. Go to the review.

Maria is a free-spirited young woman who is training to become a nun at an abbey in Salzburg, Austria. One day, her lack of discipline finally gets the better of her and it reaches a point where nobody wants her there except for the Mother Abbess. She decides that Marie should live outside the abbey and sends her as a governess for the seven children of naval officer Captain Georg von Trapp. The Captain insists on strict military discipline, of which Maria does not approve. Although the children misbehave at first, Maria responds with kindness and patience and gets all the children to love her as a friend. The next day the Captain leaves for Vienna to visit Baroness Elsa Schraeder and ‘Uncle’ Max Detweiler. With that, Maria makes play clothes for all the kids out of old curtain drapes. Maria takes the kids around Salzburg and teaches the children how to sing. Want to know more? Watch the movie!

I loved this movie a lot. I also liked the songs, mainly ‘My Favourite Things’ and ‘Edelweiss’. I can’t resist not liking it. Edelweiss is also a piano song that I am learning to play. The way that Maria takes care of the kids is also amazing. It kinda looks like that Liesl (the oldest sibling) is basically the only one to remember what their late biological mother was like, at least in the movie. The character of Elsa Schraeder is extremely well acted out. Although, I think there was no such baroness. Anyway, Maria’s character was how a real character should be. A real character should have many complicated emotions, which in other movies is a bit vague.

I have confidence in wholeheartedly recommending this movie because:

1.       The acting is the best you’ll ever see.

2.       Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens…

3.       The story is amazing.

4.       Everything is awesome!

Oh my god, this movie is really a ride. Omkar Lele, or Ole, is a widower and single father who’s main aim is to live life at its fullest. Contrastingly, his son Aditya Lele, or Aale, is an extreme workaholic, constantly having calls, conferences, meetings, presentations, and having very little, if any time for himself and his family. How much ever Ole tries to get Aale to do anything, he never manages to do anything with him. One time, after Aale fails to appear for a dinner at home, Ole, in sadness, apparently flees the house. Confused, Aale and their house helper, Baburao, rush to the police station and ask everybody about Ole’s whereabouts. Turns out, Ole was always at home, simply hiding. It was all a ploy to get Aale to stay at home and cancel his meeting in Delhi. Du...
