Answer 1

The Sound of Music is an immensely popular musical that hasn’t dulled even after 40 years.

The story is that of an ex-nun (Julie Andrews) whose joie de vivre was a distraction to the other sisters of her cloister. She takes the position as governess to the large van Trapp family. Maria becomes such an integral part of the household that the family’s patriarch Captain Georg von Trapp (Christopher Plummer) begins to fall in love with her.

Maria teaches the children to sing songs, all of which are now classic tunes. From “Do Re Mi” to “My Favorite Things”, Sound of Music is a significant part of our cultural landscape. How many people do you know that have no idea that ‘Do’ is a ‘deer, a female deer’ or some of Maria’s favorite things are ‘raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens’. The success of this musical is due entirely to the fantastic musical score of Richard Rodgers and the catchy lyrics of Oscar Hammerstein II.

What The Sound of Music also has is a terrific cast, a celebrated screenwriter and a talented director. Robert Wise, who with Jerome Robbins, created the film version of West Side Story has created an indelible classic. He keeps the film light when it needs to be and creates the appropriate darkness at the necessary times. With the help of Ernest Lehman (the pen behind such classic film stories as The King and I, the aforementioned West Side Story, Hello, Dolly!, Sabrina, North by Northwest and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?), Wise crafts a joyous celebration of life.

Julie Andrews is one of the greatest gifts to musical theater. Her ability to convey the most complex emotional scenes alongside a powerful and moving voice have made her one of the most honored and sorely missed talents in film history. Christopher Plummer also performs admirably giving Captain von Trapp a soul hidden beneath the grim exterior of his professional mannerism.

Answer 2

The sound of music film review

This classic musical continues to have wide appeal despite, or perhaps even because of, its cringe factor. Like that other widely-popular sing-a-long extravaganza, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Sound Of Music draws loyal and enthusiastic audiences as well as newcomers who wonder what all the fuss is about. The mostly-happy Cinderella tale of nun-turned-governess-turned-wife, however, aims straight for the family market.

Maria (a smiley Julie Andrews) does her best as governess to the seven wealthy but unruly von Trapp children. It won't spoil the movie to reveal that she wins over not only the children, but their stern naval-officer father (Christopher Plummer in fine form) with her musical talents and upbeat view on life. For those of us who grew up watching it every year on TV at Christmas, the nostalgia it evokes contributes to a strange bond with people from around the world, so that someone from Canada might find themselves laughing, and yes, even cringing, with a South African who knows all the songs from the film.

There is more than nostalgia and family values, however, to this movie. The "true story" of the von Trapps takes place during the Nazi occupation of Austria, following which the family is forced to make a daring escape through the Alps. Mostly, however, this is a tale about looking on the sunny side of life, accompanied by such classic songs as My Favourite Things and Do-Re-Mi. Anyone who appreciates the power of music can't deny the strange uplifting charm of this admittedly sappy movie.
