-film critic Waddle

The Sound of Music is based on a true story that happened in Austria in 1938.

Sister Maria is a cheerful and passionate girl. She loves singing and dancing, and she also loves the freshness, tranquility and beauty of nature. The abbot felt that Maria was not fit to live in isolation from the world, so he introduced her to Salzburg as a tutor for seven children of Colonel von trapp, a retired officer of the former Austrian Imperial Navy.

Von trapp was a kind and brave patriot, and his wife died young. There is no singing or laughter at home.

Maria came to the colonel's house and found that the colonel's method of managing children was simple and rude. As soon as his whistle sounded, the children ran out of their rooms at the fastest speed, lined up and announced their names according to the requirements of sailors' training.

At first, the children were repulsive to Maria and always tried to play tricks on her, but Maria understood what the children did when they were growing up. She guided them, cared for them, helped them, won their trust, and soon became their bosom friends and established deep feelings with them.

The Colonel is going to leave home for Vienna. During this period, Maria and the children rehearsed songs, played games and went to play in nature. The whole family added a lot of laughter, joy and life, and was full of music.

when the colonel came back with the baroness who was going to marry him, he found that the dull and cold air in his home had completely changed, and his "sailors" had been trained into a well-educated family chorus.

Seeing the arrival of the baroness, Maria knew that she would be the new mother of the children, so she left the colonel's house with a letter and returned to the monastery. However, because the baroness is too serious, the children can't get along with her. At the same time, the changes Maria brought to this family aroused the colonel's love for life, recalled the lost happiness and aroused his love for Maria. So the colonel finally refused the baroness, and he came to the monastery to find Maria, and they finally formed a happy partner.

It was the eve of Hitler's annexation of Austria in 193s. On the day of the Austrian Folk Music Festival in Salzburg, the Colonel and Maria received a call from Berlin, ordering the Colonel to join the Nazi navy and put him and his family under close surveillance. By taking part in the Folk Music Festival, the trapp Family Chorus presented their heartfelt songs in front of Austrian compatriots, and with the help of friends and nuns, the whole family crossed the Alps, escaped from the difficult motherland and came to king of thailand.

The Sound of Music

The Sound of Music is a film that has influenced generations, and it is a classic of American musical films by any standard. Interesting love stories, sweet songs, lively children, warm human feelings and innocent jokes constitute a beautiful picture of life; Moving music, beautiful scenery and positive attitude towards life have aroused people's thoughts about the infinite beauty of life.

The song "The Sound of Music" is the theme song in the film. At the beginning of the film, Maria sang solo on the top of the mountain. During the colonel's visit to Vienna, Maria taught seven children this song expressing her great love for her hometown, nature and music, and asked them to sing it for the baroness when she arrived. The colonel's long-imprisoned heart was melted by the beautiful, innocent and moving songs that have not been seen for a long time in this family. He changed from the original unsmiling colonel to an amiable father, hugging with seven children ...

In the film, he participated in the story narrative in the original form of film music, and the popular little song EDELWEISS was the first. At the kind invitation of Maria and the children, the colonel took over the guitar and sang his favorite Austrian folk song:

Edelweiss? edelweiss? (edelweiss, edelweiss,)

Every morning you greet me. Open to me in the morning.  

Edelweiss? Edelweiss edelweiss, edelweiss,

bliss my hometown forever. Bless my hometown forever. (Note: translated by Xue Fan)

The colonel was immersed in a deep affection for his homeland and motherland and sang selflessly. Maria's lens cut in several times, and she stood at the door and stared at the colonel. Singing makes him a completely different person. In that singing full of true feelings, Maria discovers a man's rich, broad and keen inner world. Music quietly connected two noble hearts, and the spark of love began to burn. After the two people danced harmoniously at the family party, it became very difficult to hide their inner feelings.

As an important musical prop, this little song has played a great role in the whole story structure, and that is at the music festival. The colonel who refused to serve the Nazis and never betrayed his motherland and people was prepared to take the risk of taking his family away. On the occasion of parting, he presented his favorite song to his hometown folks. However, before a song was finished, she choked, and Maria tacitly continued to sing and led the audience to join the chorus. This is the most touching climax of the whole film. A seemingly simplest and most inconspicuous little folk song stands out among all the songs used in the film, prompting the audience to face up to the overcast era to which the story belongs-"the last golden years of Salzburg in the 193s" as mentioned in the opening caption. It makes a comedy full of laughter and laughter show serious, profound and lofty humanitarian connotation at this moment. At the music festival, all the audience sang Edelweiss loudly, expressing the just aspiration of the Austrian people against aggression and their belief in winning without fear of violence.

After more than p>3 years, The Sound of Music will always bring you joy and thoughts. (anonymous)

The story after The Sound of Music

The film The Sound of Music tells a true story. At the end of the film, the colonel's family finally bravely escaped from Nazi-controlled Austria. Perhaps many people think that this story is over, just as all fairy tales say at the end, "they live happily ever after".

But where did the real von trapp family go after this? What exactly is their life like?

In p>1938, when the family left Austria, Maria was pregnant with Johannes, another child of Colonel von trapp. Without a colorful home, they became penniless fugitives, and the life of the family immediately became a big problem. But the von trapp family is not discouraged, and they don't care that everything should be started from scratch. The family formed a choir, wandering around the world and making a living by performing arts. From birthday wedding banquets to performances at the Royal Music Hall, everything is done. In 1939, when they came to America for a singing tour, they discovered a farm near Stowe, a small town in Vermont. The small farm reminded them of their home in Austria, and they immediately fell in love with this land. So I bought this land with the money I had saved and built my own home far away from home. In the following decades, the von Trapp family went to perform all over the world every year, covering more than 3 countries, but they always regarded this farm in Stowe as their permanent home.

In p>1947, Maria founded the trapp Family Music Camp in Stowe. With the expansion of the music camp, the rooms provided by her family for the night became insufficient, so she built trapp Villa. They also suffered greatly because they were not familiar with the social environment. In 1949, Maria wrote a biography of her family's experience, which immediately aroused strong social repercussions. However, when someone offered to buy her story for the first time, Maria was deceived and did not get her due rights and rewards.

The unsatisfactory experience didn't make them complain, and setbacks and lessons couldn't make this immigrant family fall.

In p>1965, the film "The Sound of Music" was released all over the world, performing a scene of "truth, goodness and beauty", and Maria became a household name. But in 198, a big fire reduced the hard-built trapp Villa to ashes. However, a year and a half later, a brand-new trapp Villa was built on the original foundation, and scattered guest houses were built at the foothills and lakesides to receive tourists. Today, trapp Mountain Villa is well-known and receives thousands of tourists who have a special liking for trapp's experience and their songs every year.
