The movie "The Sound of Music" is a very old film. I watched it again recently and it still feels good.
There are three elements that can be said about this movie.
First is the music. The heroine is Maria, a nun in a convent, with a lively and unrestrained nature. She came to the colonel and captain's house as a tutor and brought music to the family. The 7 children she educated happened to be the 7 musical notes of Doremi and Sui Laxi. The seven children sang, and the singing was so beautiful and cheerful, which instantly brought her closer to the children. The singing voice was so charming that it made the male protagonist put down his arrogance, narrowing the distance between him and the heroine, and even falling in love. Especially the song Edelweiss. It also expressed patriotic enthusiasm and expressed the collective patriotic enthusiasm at the final concert. Especially in the environment under German rule at that time, singing this song in the Grand Theater had even more special meaning.
The second element is love. The male protagonist is a famous, wealthy and distinguished captain, while the female protagonist is a lowly nun with no money, power or status. The two of them ignored the constraints of traditional thinking, followed their hearts, and finally became lovers. Another well-matched supporting actress, although she is also rich, is the countess, and she and the captain almost got married. But there was no love between them, and they lost to love in the end.
The third element is war. The war adds a bit of tension to the film, increasing the tension and conflict with the storyline, making the whole film more attractive. The patriotic spirit is injected into it, which enhances the style of the film.
