The Sound of Music review

I absolutely loved this masterpiece! The Sound Of Music is a very heartwarming, delightful and inspiring musical that I could watch over and over again. It is a musical that is beautifully filmed with such beautiful sceneries. The sceneries mix the taste and feeling of what music is because Maria feels like singing because of the neighbourhood and wanting to get along with the Von Trapp children. This film truly reveals what music really is and the good feeling of it. It is my mother's favourite film which is another reason why I love this film so much. The Sound Of Music is like an epic musical because of the way it is filmed. It is a bit like a costume drama but a musical. The Sound Of Music is a classic musical that is loved by thousands of people and it totally deserves to be.


Julie Andrews performance as Maria is absolutely amazing. Julie Andrews is the actress of musicals and it is that simple. Seeing Andrews play Maria was an absolute pleasure because she was a very bright hearted person but was a very emotional and serious character. Julie Andrews is one of the best British actresses ever and she proved that in Mary Poppins but she certainly did in The Sound Of Music. I absolutely love the way she plays the character because I could feel the warmth of the character of expressing her feelings towards the children and towards Captain Von Trapp. Andrews is a fantastic actress when it comes to heartwarming, family treasures. I really liked Christopher Plummer as Captain Von Trapp. He seemed like that kind of actor who you need to crack his outer shell and once you see inside you'll realise what kind of person he is. He is a bitter man to start with but as he starts to get closer to Maria and as he was watching her get closer to his children, the audience starts to see him as a really friendly, caring and loving father.


Robert Wise is a fantastic director who is brilliant at all of the films he has done and he is very well remembered for making them classics. The Sound Of Music is his best crowning achievement in my opinion. The work Wise did in this masterpiece was out of this world. If he hadn't directed it, there wouldn't be The Sound Of Music or it not being a classic. It is a very typical family film because it is filled with pure beauty but filled with seriousness too which I think makes a perfect family film.


The Sound Of Music is my 3rd favourite musical after Sweeney Todd and Grease. The Sound Of Music is the musical of the 60s and it's as simple as that. It is without a doubt Julie Andrews best performance. Yes, better than Mary Poppins. It is also Robert Wise's best work as well. The Sound Of Music is a very beautiful and adorable film that I could maybe watch countless times. It is a beautiful masterpiece that I really do love a lot!
