Fun Friday The Sound of Music

 A great classic. I like how the song slots naturally into the film script.

Strange but the film reminds me of Sister Act with Whoopi Goldberg but in reverse. ‘Make her stay’ I don’t agree with that part. With Deloris in Sister Act she was forced into a nun’s life. Maria (Julie Andrews) clearly isn’t cut out to be a nun. So she is effectively forced out. I like this idea.

Wow, they are not dogs. Nice one. That did make me smile.

The lyrics to the song Sixteen going on seventeen are unworldly and wisely out dated, but it does work into the nature of this film.

I like her thinking, what great outfits.

Wow, there is a deep lesson to be learnt, when Maria asks the children why they play tricks on people and their answer, to get their ‘Father’s attention’. This is sad to hear but again makes sense as in the nature of this film.

No, saved by beautiful singing. I am so pleased.

I love the puppet show.

Bedtime has never been so much fun. I love it.

What a nasty piece of work she is.

Yes, a sore finger is a barrier to singing as it is a vital part. It is sad but lovely to see them missing Maria so much.

‘Blue strawberries’ ok, oh dear.

Perfect timing, brilliant and lovely.

I don’t agree and wouldn’t have had that song as she walked down the aisle. I don’t like that choice.

This film has now sadly taken a dark turn.

Yes, ‘Goodbye’.

Oh no, beware of who you trust.

Now, I like that sin, I don’t condone sin but yes, that one I like.

This film also has beautiful scenery.

In this film there is a song called Do-Re-Mi, this song wouldn’t have existed if it wasn’t for John Curwen coming up with the system. He  was a co-pastor in the Suffolk town of Stowmarket during his life and there is a road named after him, which is a side road off Recreation Road which runs beside the Recreation Ground.
