Simply A Masterpiece
Sadly Over-hyped
Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
This is by far the best musical and movie of all times. I can watch it all over again everyday! I can never get tired ot watching it. Julie Andrews really nailed it !!
...EVER! Brilliant music. Amazing scenery Score. Script. Brilliant.
A great musical with beautiful songs! Julie Andrews is a fantastic singer and actor, and it is fun to see her in her younger years. I don't believe the film would be as good without her, she is perfectly suited to the role. Most of the child acting is decent, which can usually really impact a film.The songs are absolutely classics and for a good reason. All further the story and fit, and they must have great song writers. Also, the settings are phenomenal with the mountain being iconic scenery now. Costumes are very nice, and reflect the mood of the scenes. However, the cinematography is basic but I think it is mainly due to the time period and equipment. Just overall an amazing classic that everyone has watched or needs to!
The Sound of Music, the sound of freedom.This classic film is filled with glorious songs and has plenty for hopeless romantics to enjoy. The Sound of Music also effectively works in the tension and foreboding of the time period. Everyone in Austria has to make a choice when the Nazis arrive. Even the nuns in the abbey must make a choice.It's worth discussing with older kids why this was such a tense time and why the Von Trapps made the painful decision to flee the country they loved. It is a movie of catching freedom."The Sound of Music" has contributed to the legend which has grown around the true life story of the Trapp family. ------Yidioo
