The Sound of Music

Hey Everyone! Happy New Year!!!! It’s 2024. 

I have decided to write about the movie The Sound of Music starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer and a whole wonderful cast. 

The Movie starts off with a young woman named Maria who is a free Austrian woman who is studying to be a nun at Nonberg Abbey in Salzburg 1938, Her Youthful Enthusiasm and lack of discipline is causing some concern at the Abbey. 

The mother at the abbey sends Maria to the villa of a retired naval officer Georg Von Trap to be the governess to his seven children Liesl, Friedrich, Louisa, Kurt, Brigitta, Marta and Gretl. 

The Captain has been raising his children under strict discipline since their mother passed away, they have had other governesses try to help take care of them and help them out they scared them away with tricks they played on them. 

They do the same thing to Maria, she responds to them with kindness and respect they slowly begin to trust and respect her.  

The Captain is away on a trip in Vienna while he is away Maria makes play clothes for the children and she plays with them and teaches them how to sing, the Captain returns with a baroness named  Elsa who is very rich and they have a mutual friend together named Max.

He doesn’t like his children’s clothes very much and the activities they have been doing. 

He doesn’t like that Maria tells him he needs to be closer to his kids, he attempts to fire her, he then hears children singing and it surprises him and it makes the baroness smile. 

 He loves it so much that he sings along with his kids and he hasn’t  sang with his kids in a long time he apologizes to Maria and asks her to stay with them.

  Max is impressed with the children’s  singing he proposes to enter them in the Salzburg festival, the Captain doesn’t want his kids singing in public he is a little uncomfortable with it. 

The Captain is having a party at his house and the kids and Maria are looking at the party from the Garden Terrace he sees Maria teaching Kurt the traditional dance folk dance he decides to step in and dance with Maria, they have a beautiful dance together and it ends in a nice embrace. 

Maria is a little confused about her feelings so she breaks away from him , the baroness sees how the Captain feels about Maria and how she feels about him and out of jealousy she tells her that it is time for her to go back to the abbey. 

The mother of the abbey learns that Maria has decided to stay in seclusion to avoid her feelings for the Captain, she encourages her to go back to the villa and look for her purpose in life.

 When she returns to the villa she learns that the baroness and Captain are engaged she agrees to stay until they find a new governess.

Later the baroness learns that the Captains feelings hasn’t changed for Maria. The Baroness peacefully and understandingly calls off the engagement to him and returns home to Vienna before she leaves she tells the Captain to tell Maria his feelings for her and they end up getting married to each other. 

The rest of the movie is very good and heart-warming. 

There are a lot of happy parts and some dramatic parts that happen close to the end of the movie and will keep you on the edge of your seat. I assure you it is a very happy ending and will leave you with a big smile on your face and a song in your Heart. 

I decided to write about the Sound of Music because I have loved music since I was little and ever since I can remember. Music has always been a part of my life when I was In School.

 I was always involved in chorus that was my favorite part of school getting to sing I was involved in chorus in all of my years of schooling. 

My favorite part of chorus was the concerts and the different songs we would sing I always loved the Hallelujah Chorus, that would be the last song we would sing before the concert would end. I love all kinds of Music my favorite genre of Music is Disney and Pop Music. 

I love a lot of songs from Disney If I could name a favorite Disney song it probably would be Friend like Me from Aladdin. 

I love that song. It has a really good beat and fun lyrics In the song. 

I also like the movie Encanto my favorite songs from that movie is Family Madrigal and we don’t talk about Bruno. I also love the Disney Cinderella Brandy Version my favorite songs from that movie is Impossible, In my own little corner and there is Music in You . 

I could talk about Disney Music all day it’s something that makes my heart very happy. I love Do, Re, Mi from Sound of Music and the good night song. 

Music always cheers me up whenever I am feeling down or having a rough day. 

I have a good ear for Music too when I am in a restaurant and I hear Music playing I usually know what the song is because I know a lot of songs. Julie Andrews is one of my favorite actresses.

 I love a lot of her movies. Especially the Princess diaries and Mary Poppins, she does an outstanding Job In that movie just like she did in the sound of Music. 

She has touched a lot of peoples lives and Hearts and I believe she has changed a lot of lives and inspired and encouraged a lot of people. 

The Sound of Music will make you fall in love with Music and singing if you aren’t already in love with it, it’ll give you a whole new perspective of Music and singing. 

My favorite scenes from the movie are when they Sing the Song Maria and how they are trying to come up with an idea to figure out what to do with Her.

 And I also love the song Do, Re, Mi, where Maria teaches the kids how to sing and they all have a lot of fun with singing the song. I also like the Goodnight song, and the song you are sixteen going on Seventeen.

 There are a lot of fun and good songs that you can sing along to when you watch the movie. Everyone put their heart and spirit into their characters and the movie. 

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good family movie and a good Julie Andrews Story.
