This is just a delight to watch. The songs are all wonderful. I've heard them all before but now that I've actually seen the movie I think they are even better. The dancing is never too over the top like other musicals. Julie Andrews is simply perfect in this role. Christopher Plummer, which is weird seeing young, is great too. The ending parts with the nazis was darker than the rest of the movie and I wish this would of been cut. I just wanted a happy musical but still this is one of the best.
One of the most inspirational movies ever made. Really good classic.
This would have to be one of my favourite movies of All Time....I remember seeing this as a child and loving it then,and now 50 odd years later it still is my favourite movie ....classic songs, amazing performance's by amazing Actor's and Actresses,and the amazing backdrop of Salzburg Austria and the birth place of Mozart
I was able to visit Salzburg in the year 2000 and work for a few months and see where they filmed the movie and go on the Sound Of Music Tour which I have to say if ur able to go,go as it will bring back all the great places where the movie was filmed....this has to be a 10 out of 10..
The best musical ever thanks to the amazing work or Rogers and Hammerstein's...:grin::flag_au::flag_at::flag_at::flag_au::grin:
Julie Andrews at her best! The music is great. The romance and chemistry between the characters was right on. And the plot itself; the fear, the drama, the last minute escape out of the country, it was all so well done and very enjoyable. You'll not only enjoy this movie, you'll find yourself singing along!
Julie Andrews at her freshest and best...her singing is wonderful, the alps are wonderful, the songs are memorable, and the story line never gets boring.
Certified banger sound track and gorgeous authentic Austrian backdrops.
I don’t know how I know all the songs this well, seeing this is the first time I watched The Sound of Music. Without all the catchy songs, what remains is an enjoyable movie that holds up quite well.
A nun looks after a litter of children and their father. Totally familiar.
best musical ever. seen this movie too many times to count. I know all songs by heart and I sing along with the cast members
Saw this as a play multiple times before the watching the movie. I must say it is just as good the plays I saw.
I just watched it for the first time. I'm not a musical lover but I enjoyed this tremendously. How can it be rated so low?!
Heard great things, got great things.
I've said it before, but musicals aren't my favourite genre - I don't dislike them at all, but if I were to rank my favourite genres they would probably be down low. Therefore, I always feel uncertain before watching them, knowing they could go either way.
'The Sound of Music', though, is a delight. As alluded to, I have obviously heard countless positive things about this film down the years so I'm glad it didn't disappoint. Despite a potentially damaging 175 minute run time, it absolutely flew by - superb pacing. I will say the last 30-40 minutes do feel like a possibly unnecessary add-on, but it all still makes for entertaining viewing.
How about that soundtrack? So many songs that have seriously passed the test of time in terms of relevance, I had practically heard of them all before despite never setting eyes of the film until now. "My Favorite Things" is the standout in my opinion, but all the music is excellent.
Julie Andrews is terrific in the role of Maria, I will say early on I thought she might've been annoying given how excitable she is, but she quickly becomes great to watch throughout. Christopher Plummer is impressive, also. Those two are the clear stars of this, but all the other cast members do worthy jobs too.
It's, so I read, not completely true to the real life story of Maria von Trapp & Co. However, all I care about is whether it's an entertaining film - which this undoubtedly is. A must-watch!
I had high expectations from the film and it wouldn't be wrong to say they were matched. It was such a feel good movie. Almost all the songs are classics. The climax did hold me to the edge of my seat. What I wouldn't do to meet the Julie Andrews? The epitome of grace, poise and charm. The little kids were so adorable. This is going to be my comfort film for sure.
How can such a perfect movie exist? :sob:
♪ My heart will be blessed with the sound of music ♪
A classic feel good musical that I grew up watching with my mom, and she with hers.
54 years after the release and I finally saw it. It is quite an extraordinary movie. Quite predictable but still enjoyable.
Some songs are really catchy and I'm glad that I can count myself to one of the very few Austrians who actually saw this movie (it's nothing like that in Austria though – beautiful nature and landscape but nowhere close as much singing I'm afraid).
I found it funny how without knowing I've of course been to most places this was filmed at.
I don't care how well produced it was for its time. I'm just not into musicals. Hence the 5/10 rating.
Just saw this for the first time. I'm not a fan of musicals, so I was prepared for the worst, but I was pleasantly surprised. I have to be in a certain mood to appreciate these golden oldies and must admit that it does feel a bit dated, but the feelgood sing-along atmosphere is still very effective. Great film about children and adults growing up, learning to have fun, against the background of a starting war. I'll be watching this again on a rainy afternoon :)
