the song of a legendary family

I recently watched the above-translated dubbed version of "The Sound of Music". I don't know why, but this movie, which I have watched several times, still feels so good when I turn it out and watch it again. Perhaps for me, this film does have such a permanent appeal.
This film is derived from the previous musical of the same name, and this film is also a typical musical style, and it can even be said that this film is a classic version of this musical. I've also seen some stage sequences (in one version featuring Nikki Webster), which are exactly the same as in the movie. Every song in this film has become a classic, and these songs are even easy to hum after watching (except for the hymn sung by the nuns, which may be a little difficult), which makes me listen to the soundtrack of the film. Sometimes I can remember the scene.
And the heroine Maria of the whole film, although she seems to be a little childish on the surface, she treats these children very seriously. She understands the psychology of these children very well, knows what they need most, and also knows how to treat these children. She can not avoid any taboo among these children, and can fully integrate into them. Why do you like her so much. Through contact with these children, Maria also knew whether she was suitable to be a nun, and finally made her own choice.
The plot structure of the film is a typical Hollywood model, and the combination of the story background makes the film have anti-Nazi ideas. Of course, this film doesn't have much depiction of war, maybe it was a bit heavy at the time. There are some flaws in the details, of course, in many cases now, this situation will not affect my evaluation.
The film is based on the book "The Story of the Trapp Family Singers" written by Maria von Trapp This family biography book, so this film is based on real history. Of course, the difference between the film and history is still very big. I planned to use this to write some comparisons among them, but after thinking about it, I would forget it. After all, the film was not made to truly record that history. If you are interested in this legendary von Trapp family, you should read the book directly, or check the online information.
My earliest impression of this film was when I watched it on VCD more than ten years ago. That time I watched the Taiwanese dubbed version. Later, I watched the original sound version several times, and I only saw the above-translated dubbed version not long ago. . In contrast, the above translation sounds more pleasing to the ear, and the translation of those nouns is more customary. It's just for historical reasons (I learned the inside story after reading an article on the Internet), so this version is destined to be circulated underground only, because it involves sensitive issues, I'd better not say it.

PS: Movies based on this family biography have been released in Germany before (including two: Die Trapp-Familie and Die Trapp-Familie in Amerika, the latter being a sequel to the former), this should be the closest version to history, but The fame was taken away by the "Sound of Music" that was launched later. Later, the Japanese animation company released an animation based on this book, "The Story of トラップ Family". The theme song used in the broadcast was the Japanese version of "Do-Re-Mi", but when the CD was released, it was replaced by another one. a song.

    A very classic musical. But I only like to watch the first half.

    The classics were lately viewed, and they were actually completed in stages. Except that three hours is really too long, a very important point: this is a movie with outstanding advantages and disadvantages. The good part is so good. The lonely shepherd of Doremi Edelweiss, crowded for 60 to 90 minutes. Just remember how many popular songs have been left behind by classic musicals in history? What's the name of the second famous song of Rain in the Rain? It only took 30 minutes for the Sound of Music to dedicate works that are enough to compete with the top three, which shows that it is great. On the other hand, the story process used to produce famous songs is honestly a bit boring. Anti-Nazi themes frame certain emotional expressions as one aspect. In addition, on the role level, the colonel’s personality is too hard and too dignified, Plummer is rich and handsome but not attractive enough; Maria also only shows charm when she sings with her children (Andrews’s love for drama is ordinary), the two are attractive The emotional spark is not enough, and the rival marquise is deliberately at a disadvantage, even if the love road is tortuous, it can not make the audience more empathy and expectation. The seven children show the interest of difference, but they are limited in age and form, personality or emotional likes and dislikes, or are still monotonous-why must "all" Emilia?

The Sound of Music quotes

  • Liesl: [upon receiving her first kiss from Rolfe] Wheeeeeeeeeee!

  • Maria: Reverend Mother, I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself. -The hills were beckoning and... the sky was so blue today... and everything was so green and fragrant, I had to be a part of it. The Untersberg led me higher like it wanted me to go through the clouds.

    Mother Abbess: Suppose darkness had come and you were lost?

    Maria: Mother, I could never be lost up there. That's my mountain. I was brought up on it. It was the mountain that led me to you. When I was a child, I would come down and climb a tree... and look in your garden. I'd see the sisters at work and hear them sing... Which brings me to another transgression, Reverend Mother. I was singing out there today.

    Mother Abbess: Only in the abbey do we have rules about postulants singing.

    Maria: I can't stop wherever I am. Worse, I can't seem to stop saying things. Everything I think and feel.
