Yeah, I barely remembered that

@@whitenoisereacts Here’s SNL’s take on the gazebo scene from sound of music, in case you haven’t seen it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e7WKn9NezNDbZmw.html

This movie is actually heavily based on the original German production which is almost 10 years older. If you're interested in the Nazi aspect (and even just a fan of the Trapps) I can highly recommend it. It's great and available here on yt with subs! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJeZqdejubObgX0.html

When I was a kid I was confused that they didn't accept first prize. I didn't understand the Nazi thing at all.

The reverse happened with me. As a kid I was VERY interested in the Nazi storyline

Taken: The Musical

that takes talent, something directors don't look for anymore

My grandmother visited the VillaTrapp home when in Austria and she gave me a musical box that had a rainy boy and sunny girl. I think it was a hygrometer. Anyway, no clue what ever happened to it. Hoping it's packed away somewhere.

I Prefer The Duet The Captain Sings With Liesl!!

It's also so powerful, it's like saying that they're Austrian and that'll never change, no matter how much they're threatened. Even as someone very un-traditional who doesn't really feel like I belong in any culture, or feel that connected to anywhere I'm from, moments like those give me chills. Though as a half-Swiss person, who now lives here, too, seeing them just chill out here after that whole ordeal makes me proud.

Imagine if the US were taken over by a racist regime and someone starts singing "lift every voice and sing" or "we shall over come" and the whole audience joined in.

Didn't they actually date and he didn't get along with the rest of the cast much?

@@80sGamerLady I think that was fuelled because he's never attended reunions. He has stated that TSOM has haunted his career and he struggled to get away from that role. I can imagine, given how iconic it's becomee

not so fun fact....his voice was dubbed. you can find some of the original singing on here.

​​​@@80sGamerLadyby all accounts Christopher Plummer and Charmaine did not date, and while his on-set reputation was not the best, he DID get along with Julie Andrews tremendously, as well as the director and screenwriter. There are several interviews with him on YT that are specifically for TSOM retrospectives. He and Julie did a retrospective for the 40th anniversary. He attended the 45th anniversary reunion with everyone on Oprah's show in 2015. He and Julie remained very close friends right until his death. He absolutely adored her, and worked with her again on a live broadcast of the play On Golden Pond which you can find here on YT. He wrote his memoirs published in 2008 and wrote extensively about making the film. When you understand the context of his attitude towards the character he played, you start to understand how he felt. Julie, Robert Wise and the screenwriter all understood how he felt AND worked with him to make the character more dynamic than what was originally written, so what we see in the final product is different than whatever the original script was. He definitely had a love/hate relationship with the film after it came out because its popularity eclipsed much of his other work. But as time went on and he did more and more work that gained critical acclaim, he became more and more known for things OTHER than TSOM. And his own attitude towards the film definitely mellowed over the years. He gained an appreciation for both the film itself, and what it means to millions of fans all over the world. I don't know that he made his piece with it, but he didn't hate the film in the end.

I've read the book written by Maria & there was a "baroness" character, who told Maria (pretty casually) that Georg had said that he was falling for Maria & that was the reason that Maria left, if I recall correctly.

Maria was still alive when it was released, and whenever someone asked if she was really so bad as a nun, she'd gleefully reply that the play and movie actually toned down the trouble she got into.

Maria was very strict with the children, though, and they didn't have the relationship that is portrayed in the movie. In fact, Georg was unhappy during their marriage.

The anime was surprisingly good as well.

@@Lucas-Stl I think I've seen some episodes of that. I think the little girl didn't talk and the first word she said in years was "Maria"

The same with when she falls over backward from the boat after "Do-Re-Mi." Again, her reaction was perfectly natural.

Well they were laughing because the lights kept making popping noises.

Well, it worked for the best, cinematically.

Thanks brother!!

This movie is actually heavily influenced by the original German version which is almost 10 years older than even this. You can check it out with English subs if you like. ^^ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJeZqdejubObgX0.html

I definitely agree to them watching my fair lady and king and i ❤

So . . . a child nearly died. That's not fun.

@@haileymullican335 I doubt she almost died. They had a whole cast and crew there and most film sets have medical on standby for just such accidents. It might've given the poor kid a shock, but she would've been fine.

One of the other kids, either Luisa or Liesel grabbed her and lifted her out of the water and carried her to shore. They originally meant for Julie Andrews to do it, but since she fell a different way, the kids were ready to help her. The water was shallow enough for most of the taller folks to stand up, she was just so little, and as mentioned, couldn't swim.

it's also a true story, the real Maria can be seen in the background in the start of the song 'I am confident'

Honestly I miss "How Can Love Survive" from the Baroness and Max

@@sbasi2739 very loosely based on a real family. Not a true story at all, except for the fact that Maria was a nun and married a man named Georg who had 7 children 😂 oh, and they could sing.

My favorite surprise when discovering the musical script is what happens with Rolf at the end. I feel a little bad for the actress who plays Liesl, though. Do-Re-Mi, Sixteen Going on Seventeen, and The Lonely Goatherd back to back. When I first read the script, I was like "Wut?" Also, confession. I recently said I "hated" 16 going on 17 from the movie, but really I'm jealous, cuz I'm choreographing and am like "I've got no ideas and I don't know anything about lifts! Oh no." Looked up a wedding dance lift video, and stole something from that. The actors who play Rolf and Liesl have been fun to work with and are amazing! Lol.

@@emilypassaro1847 In the movie's party scene, after the Baroness returns from her upstairs talk with Maria (as a result of which Maria decides to return to the abby), as the Baroness re-enters the ballroom for a champagne toast and a short conversation with Max, a waltz version of "How Can Love Survive" plays briefly.

I am waiting for someone to do a good reaction vid to Singin' In The Rain (my favourite movie ever). I just can't wait for them to find out who Debbie Reynolds daughter is...

@@mackt6482 Here is a beautiful reaction video for "Singin' In The Rain": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gL2Iramp0bK1qWQ.html

that would be amazing! :D

Have to totally disagree concerning- ATJazz. It was still to this day one of the very WORST movies I've ever seen in my life! I couldn't believe I had talked my Mother into us going to see it back then. From what I remember even Roy S. looking back wished he'd never done it. 🤢🤢

@@gailjohnston1248 Roy Scheider was super proud of that role, he talked about it whenever he could, throughout his life, he was nominated for an Oscar (his only one), please don't babble about stuff you know nothing about. Or even better, make up stuff, which is the impression I'm getting right now. I understand that "All That Jazz" is over your head and it's a little too weird for your tastes, but the movie has a great reputation and is an acknowledged classic of the period. If you haven't seen it since you were a kid, then there's a big part of your problem.

Part of the genius of Rodgers and Hammerstein's musicals is that they have a simplicity which can be enjoyed even by very young children, but they also have a complexity that provides deeper meaning for adults.

Never been to Austria, must be beautiful there.

Most of the interiors especially the house was filmed on a soundstage in Hollywood.

Dreamgirls YEEEES

Signing in the Rain, YES!!

YES, YES, YES on Singin' In The Rain, My Fair Lady, Dreamgirls, and PLEEEEEEASSSSE YES on The Slipper and The Rose. It's so fun and funny! Maybe not the best Sherman Brothers musical (Mary Poppins still holds first place for that), but still so good!

!!!Oliver!!! 100%

Yes to white Christmas please!

Yes! I was about to suggest that one also!

@@NoKoolAidForMe Preston's performance might be my favorite ever...he's obviously having so much fun he makes you smile throughout the film.

Yes!!

Yes, and Cabaret. I wonder if Hello Dolly would be something they'd like. My mother and sisters love those, so I thought I'd ask

@@LA_HA hello Dolly was great!

Love both of these recommendations!!

If you're talking about "Hairspray", I'd say I prefer the 1988 John Waters' version though cos it felt more authentic to the 60s era. And even the music sounded even better.

@@remyazharyyosef1811 I love both versions equally. They have super different vibes, so they can't really be compared imo.

Yes to "Its a Wonderful Life". Nobody is reacting to old classics like that. You gotta love a movie that makes you cry at the end.

@@jediciah37 I watched at least 4 or 5 people react to It’s A Wonderful Life last Christmas!

Also funny girl!

Singin' in the rain is absolutely the best of the bunch. I watched it for the first time when I was 4 and didn't know a word of English and I've loved it ever since

!!!Seven Brides for Seven Brothers!!!!

Singin in the Rain is also my all-time favorite. Seven Brides is a feminist nightmare, but I can't help but love it, too. Howard Keel was the original sexy lumberjack and that barn-raising scene is better than anything that's come out in the last decade.

...when you want to fall asleep.

I was coming down in the comments to suggest this too!

@@meba444 Oops, also recommended it before I saw this!

The other 2 women were her daughter that she had with Captain and her daughter in law if I remember correctly.

Yes this and It’s a Wonderful Life 💕

I second White Christmas.

I always preferred Holiday Inn to White Christmas if you ignore that one really awkward scene that tends to get cut for tv any way. That scene aside, I love the way that bing crosby and Fred Astaire play off of each other, the love story makes more since, and I prefer the music. Plus Holiday Inn is the movie that the song White Christmas was written for. Other than Sisters and the song they sing for the general, I never really liked White Christmas that much. The story and conflict always seemed really contrived. But I do understand that it is a holiday favorite for most people.

HARD VOUCH

Vera Lynn in White Christmas is just a dynamo.

Musical Mondays? ;-)

One of my favourite films of all time. Cross dressing, lbgtq movie of the 1980’s.

You left out Hitchcock's best movie "The Birds". It is a great horror suspense that would be entertaining for them to react to. Its kind of an end of the world story. Mysterious, baffling and unsettling.

@@jediciah37 Not one of my favorites. But, yes, usually it is considered one of his best. I actually excluded a few of my personal favorites as well like The Lodger, Secret Agent, Sabotage and The Trouble with Harry.

The screenwriter, Ernest Lehman, who adapted *The Sound of Music* from the original Broadway version deserves a lot of credit for maximizing the strengths and minimizing the weaknesses of the stage play. It's one of only a very few film adaptations from a Broadway musical where the movie version is superior to the original.

I second this!

I third this the first time I watched the movie I fell in love with it and the songs

Oh Absolutely. I once watched this musical 3 times in a row without getting up 'cause its that good. Also, to be fair, I was laid up with a sprained ankle at the time so couldn't really move very much and the only one at home so couldn't change the VHS tape

I agree , the house building dance scene is a classic. It was my father's absolute favorite movie (R.I.P) and he had me watch it many times in my youth. Keep smiling 🤘 🙂

Definitely!!! It's a family favorite.

Yessss to everything!!!! I loved the new WSS and Come From Away is incredible!

I used to wonder at that, too, until it was pointed out to me that the wedding answers all of the song's questions. How do you solve a problem like Maria? You marry her.

The recording of the 25th anniversary concert, not the movie. The movie sucks ass.

I personally like the movie version. But I’m sure that version is good, too. I'm not really into hating on things. I like to respect other people's visions on stories and appreciate it for what it is.

@@alexroberts2421 I like you for not hating.

Heck yes!

The Day the Earth Stood Still is awesome... as long as it's the original one. Love Keanu, but the remake wasn't the same.

They, perhaps along with Fiddler on the Roof, were probably the only three-hour-long movies that I had the patience to watch all the way through in one sitting (not that I watched too many movies that were that long). I often didn't realize how much time had passed. This is coming from someone who was incredibly restless as a child.

glad it wasn’t just me!! I couldn’t get past the Lonely Goatherd bit for ages, even when I specifically rented the film to watch it 😅

Aww thanks so much!

my favorite thing with him is the original Doctor Doolittle. the Irishman upstages Harrison but he’s so charming it doesn’t matter

also Sabrina
