saraccan Personally I'm not so crazy about musicals but this one I actually enjoyed. I thought that all the singing and dancing stuff is really carefully placed so it never took me out from the story, instead it did the opposite. It's about a troublemaker nun who becomes a governess for seven children and accidentally falls in love with their super rich widowed father.

jeremychan-63517 In thinking of The Sound of Music, one of the first things that comes to your mind might be soundtracks like "Do-Re-Mi," "My Favorite Things," "Edelweiss, "So Long, Farewell". The Sound Of Music did not only win the best original score, but along another nine academy awards. Best Picture, Best director, Best film editing, Best sound mixing, Best actress, Best supporting actress, Best cinematography, Best costume design, Best production design. The Sound of Music might be the most perceptible work of Robert Rise, Time Magazine described it as 'most popular attraction in the first half-century of the Hollywood feature film'. The justification is considerable. This movie does not forms part of this generation's childhood memories, but also brings fond memories for older generations. According to Sound Of Music Companion The story is based on the real life story of the Von Trapp Family singers. Originated in 1926 - Austria, Maria(Julie Andrews) arrived at the Trapp family as a private tutor for the family of 10 after leaving Nonnberg Abbey. She gradually got the children immersed into music and enticed them to sing but faced opposition from Baron Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer) , their father. After Maria was sent back and forth from the Abbey, the father of 10 eventually had fallen in love with Maria and married her. The movie ends with the family fleeing when Hitler annexed their country, after participating in the Salzburg Festival Singing Competition. Sound wise, the original score from The Sound Of Music, might be the best film music soundtrack in cinema history. The songs "My Favourite Thing"and "Do Re Mi" is still ranked 66 and 88 on AFI's 100 Top Movie Songs of All Time respectively .( AFI, no date) The composer Irwin Kostal has achieved his second academy award from the timeless classic film after Mary Poppins.(IMDb, no date) The song composed by the 'Disney Legend' is not only heart warming, but also enabled us to be fully engaged to the angel voices of the actors and actresses. The characters may be portrayed through the songs lyrics and melody. The Telegraph UK describes the voice of the cast as ' clear as a mountain stream and as pure as an angel ' . Besides, the cinematography of the The Sound Of Music is also notable : the infamous opening scene of the camera sweeping across the Austrian Alps to catch Maria singing title song as she is running through the bright green grassland is an example. The tone and mood of the movie may also be portrayed through different shots, especially the ending aerial shot with the Trapp family crossing the green hills to escape from Nazis with the song 'Climb Over Mountain' in the background. Matching the phenomenal shots, music and choreography together, The Sound of Music indisputably is a spectacular classical musical film.

scrwrrd I like music. Crassics, pops, rocks and more. I also like playing the instruments and singing song. Anyways, I love music! So I like this movie so much. story is good, of course, but I think that good points of this movie are music. In this movie, many famous musics plays. I think the movie is masterpiece. I like Sixteen Going On Seventeen. This song is so cute and it is the best of songs in the movie. I watched this movie when I was a high school student at first time. I played Sound of Music Medley in regular concert of my club activity(wind orchestra) in high school. Music make the world to peace. This movie will makes us happy. I want to see this movie again,now.
