The Sound of Music

[Epiphany]

I am currently watching The Sound of Music for the first time since 4th grade (which was many many many years ago). I didn't like it then (but I was really young then...What do you expect, right? lol) I have fallen in love with this movie. ^^ Does anyone else here like The Sound of Music?

The Sound of Music. What can I say but call it one of the best musicals ever created. The music alone has become immortal, with many of it's songs transcending the musical genre. "My Favorite Things" is popular with children at Christmas. "Climb Every Mountain" is popular in some churches. "Edelweiss" is just a great song.

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me

Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

So short, so simple, yet powerful whenever a group of people sing it together.


Now, lets talk about the movie. Julie Andrews is wonderful, as is Christopher Plummer. It's a little long at almost 4 hours, but the musical numbers let the movie fly by. Even without the music, the amazing storyline alone may have been enough to sell the movie. But, maybe I'm a little biased, because if you gave me any movie set during World War II, and centered around Nazi invasions/the Holocaust, I'm sold. XD

I love the sound of music (though I'd probably love it more if it was shorter)!

Love that movie, Julie Andrews has a really nice voice in musicals. And the love story of her leaving the nuns to marry him, is sweet. :] I have it on DVD... heart I watch it every year around Christmas... n_n
