The sound of music

I love movies, since I was a little girl (I even wanted to be a film director like Steven Spielberg); that´s the reason I have a lot of favorite films because I find each and every one of them different and special, full of a lot of emotions (it could be happiness, sadness, nostalgia, etc.).

So, it’s difficult for me to decide which is my favorite movie, but I can tell you about the first story (movie) that I liked so much that I can watch it a thousand times and never get bored. I like this film because it’s a real life experience from World War II, but it’s not all blood and sadness, it has happiness, music and family love. I was probably like 10 years old when I first saw it, I was in my friend’s house and she told me to pick any movie to watch, so I picked “The sound of music”, I didn´t know what it was about, I just liked the colors and the nice cover (later I realized how much I like true life stories and musicals).

The movie is from the director Robert Wise (don´t know others movies by him), and the main actress is Julie Andrews (yes, Merry Poppins!!) and a cast with a lot of kids. The story is about a nun that goes to the Von Trapp family like a governess to help the widower father, having in charge 7 rebels kids between 17 and 6 years old. At the beginning they don’t get along but with love, music and funny games, they start caring for each other in such a level that the captain (father) and the nun fall in love, this means they became a big happy family. The sad part is that they were in the middle of the war, so the Nazis wanted the captain for the army against his will, that’s why (like a family) they escaped leaving behind their old life to have a new one in another country. 

I don´t like the end that much, because it’s an open one, this means that they don’t show if they make it, but I like to believe they did, and lived happily ever after =). This story made me realize that everything is possible, even if it seems impossible there’s always happiness in the end.

Here is the trailer, enjoy!!!
