-film critic Waddle

The Sound of Music is based on the true story of 1938 in Austria.

Sister Maria is a cheerful and enthusiastic 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, so he introduced her to Salzburg to be a tutor for seven children of Colonel von trapp, a retired officer of the former Austrian Imperial Navy.

Vontrop was a kind and brave patriot, and his wife died young. There is no singing and 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 the room as quickly as possible, lined up and announced their names according to the requirements of sailor training.

At first, the children rejected 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 will leave home for Vienna. During this period, Maria and the children rehearsed songs, played games and played in nature. The whole family added a lot of laughter, joy and anger, 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 at home had completely changed, and his "sailor" had been trained into a well-educated family choir.

Seeing the arrival of the baroness, Maria knew that she would be the new mother of the children, so she left the colonel's home 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, evoked lost happiness and aroused his love for Maria. So the colonel finally rejected the baroness, and he came to the monastery to look for Maria, and they finally became happy partners.

It was the eve of Hitler's annexation of Austria in the 1930s. On the day of the Austrian Folk Music Festival in Salzburg, the Colonel and Maria received a phone call from Berlin, ordering the Colonel to join the Nazi Navy and put him and his family under close surveillance. By participating in the folk music festival, the trapp Family Chorus presented their heartfelt songs to the Austrian compatriots, and with the help of friends and nuns, the whole family crossed the Alps and fled the difficult motherland to the king of Thailand.

The sound of music always brings joy.

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

The song "The Sound of Music" is the theme song of the film. At the beginning of the film, Maria sings solo at the top of the mountain. During the colonel's visit to Vienna, Maria taught this song to seven children, expressing her love for her hometown, nature and music, and asked them to sing this song when the Baroness arrived. The colonel's heart, which had been imprisoned for a long time, was melted by the beautiful, innocent and moving songs that this family had not seen for a long time. He changed from an unsmiling colonel to an amiable father, hugging his seven children. ...

In the film, the original music of the film participated in the narrative of the story, and the well-known ditty Edelweiss was the first to bear the brunt. At the kind invitation of Maria and the children, the colonel took the guitar and sang this favorite Austrian folk song that he had not sung for many years:

Edelweiss? Edelweiss? (Edelweiss, Edelweiss,)

You greet me every morning. ? Open the door for me in the morning.

Edelweiss? Edelweiss Edelweiss, Edelweiss,

Bless my motherland forever. ? Bless my hometown forever. (Note: Xue Fan translation is adopted)

The colonel was immersed in deep affection for his homeland and motherland and sang selflessly. Maria's shot cut in several times, and she stood at the door staring at the colonel. Singing changed him completely. In that song full of true feelings, Maria discovered 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 danced harmoniously at the family party, it became very difficult to hide their inner feelings.

As an important musical prop, this ditty has played a great role in the whole story structure, which is still available 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 with him. When leaving, he dedicated his favorite song to his hometown folks. However, before a song was finished, she choked up. Maria went on singing tacitly and led the audience to join the chorus. This is the most touching climax of the whole film. A seemingly simplest and most unremarkable ballad 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 1930s" mentioned in the opening subtitles. It makes a comedy full of laughter show serious, profound and lofty humanitarian connotation at this moment. At the music festival, all the audience sang edelweiss loudly, expressing the Austrian people's just desire to oppose aggression and their belief in winning without fear of violence.

After more than 30 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 fled Nazi-controlled Austria. Perhaps many people think that this story is over, as all fairy tales say at the end, "They live happily ever after".

However, after this, where did the real von Trapp family go? What exactly is their life like?

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 Trapps are not discouraged. They don't care that everything has to start from scratch. A choir was set up at home, wandering around the world and making a living by performing arts. Everything from birthday weddings to performances at the Royal Concert Hall. 1939, when they came to the United States for a concert tour, they found a farm near Stowe, Vermont. This 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 saved and built my own home far away from home. In the following decades, the von Trapp family performed all over the world every year, covering more than 30 countries, but they always regarded Stowe's farm as their permanent home.

1947, Maria established the trapp Family Music Camp in Stowe. With the expansion of the music camp, the room provided by her family for the night became insufficient, so she built trapp Villa. They also suffered a lot because they were not familiar with the social environment. 1949, Maria wrote a biography about her family experience, which immediately aroused strong social repercussions. However, when someone first told the story of buying her, Maria was cheated and didn't get the rights and rewards she deserved.

The unhappy fate did not make them lament, and setbacks and lessons did not make this immigrant family fall.

1965, the film "The Sound of Music" was released all over the world, and scenes of "truth, goodness and beauty" were interpreted, so Maria became a household name. However, at 1980, a fire reduced the hard-built trapp villa to ashes. But 1.5 years 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 Villa is well-known and receives thousands of tourists who have a special liking for trapp's experience and their songs every year.
