Who cares whether it was the original story or not. It's forever a classic!
Zanswat Bowsan thank you! I love the movie! It is not 100% portrayal of their life story, but millions have fallen in love with it! It is a classic, it's become iconic, & truly it stood the test of time ! So hey can do all the documentaries they want , nothing will take away my fav movie of all times from me!
Well said xx
Exactly
@@mlchc9004 , we,ll, I bet the children DID care. A lot.
Excatly!!
The film is called "The Sound of Music". It was not made as a biography nor as a documentary on the real-life story of the Von Trapp family. As a work of art, IMO it succeeded in highlighting many of the virtues that we all aspire towards.
It was a movie not a documentary. Movies based on a true story are not always 100% fact. Some things get taken out of the true story and some things get added instead to make the movie more dramatic to please the audience. A documentary is 100% fact.
No such things as 100% for anything, 99% or 98% maybe.
@@Jacksonbodylanguage there is easily such thing as being 100% factual. If I said "Alice and Wonderland has a scene where she plummets down a hole whilst chasing a rhyming rabbit that talks" it would be 100% factual. Facts are easy to be one hundred percent right on
To everyone who is confused this Maria was one of the children portrayed by Louisa in the movie not the Maria who is portrayed by Julie Andrews
Yeah the names were changed to not confuse the children ig
@@_Unoffical_Norahhh_ yea the real names of the children were different and since one of them was named Maria they didn’t want to confuse the audience
@@officialchase02 Probably
Rest in Peace dear Maria von Trapp junior one of my respected charming Von Trapp family singer . We're going to miss you more or less for sure. We want to say thank you very much for leaving plenty charming and fascinated sounds of music to us.
@@officialchase02 this comment says Maria Von Trapp Junior meaning this person is talking about the daughter
Nothing will ever spoil The Sound Of Music for me! Love the storyline of the movie! Their real life story may not have been totally in alignment with the movie, regardless I love the SOM the way it played out in the film! Love Julie Andrews & the whole cast! This is a classic, iconic movie that has stood the test of time. No matter how many fact checks & documentaries anyone does, the world is not going to stop loving the movie! I wish you would just let it be & let millions of us be as well
Maria VonTrapp was a guest on the Julie Andrews Hour & was interviewed on other occasions, she was pleased & happy with how Julie played her in the movie.
They didn't leave Austria with 10 children they did with 9 and the 10th one was born in America.
+Amanda Saunders also, Maria wasn't a nun, like they claimed here; she was still a postulant and had not taken her final vows yet, just as depicted in the movie.
Amanda Saunders
postulant? What is that?
Kind of like a young woman still in training to be a nun. After she takes her final vows, that's when she becomes a full-fledged nun, called a sister. If you noticed in the movie, the nuns called her "Maria" and never "Sister Maria," and she wore a simpler headdress/wimple than the nuns did, to show her designation as a postulant.
Postulants to women, seminarians for men.
@@lochinvar50 postulants are for both men and women. postulants, then novices then a s a nun or a seminarian. I used to be a postulant then a novice. now a teacher :)
The oldest was Rupert. Fraulein Maria was actually there to teach Maria because she was sick. They went to America as refugees. They lost all their money in Austria. There were actually 10 children. Georg had 7 children with his first wife and when he married Maria he had 3 more with her. The children he had with Maria are still living. The children he had with his first wife have all passed away. She was married to him for 20 years when he passed away. She didn't get married again. She did missionary work.
Wow, that's got to be the most succinct yet accurate summarization of the Trapp Family Singers.
Yeah, I really didn't like how they referred to "Mitzi" (Maria) as the last of the real von Trapp children. Are the last 3 fake according to these news people? Kind of rude.
Amanda Saunders
I think they meant "real" as opposed to the "reel" or "movie" or "musical" Von Trapp children. The 3 that Maria and Georg had were not part of the movie.
Amanda Saunders Maria VonTrapp appeared as a guest on the Julie Andrews Hour! Julie asked her what happened to them after they left Austria,pointing out the movie ended with that scenario. She said they had 9 children , she was pregnant with the 10th when they left Austria! She had no issues with how their life story was depicted in the movie! In fact she was pleased & happy!
This so called tribute is offensive & rude!
An endearing story regardless of any lackluster trivia or negative nonsense. In general, it is a story of triumph over adversity and sorrow. One can get a better feel for the story by watching the movie made in 1956. Of course, The Sound of Music made in 1965 is iconic and the perfect tribute to a wonderful family.
This was a weird tribute. They spend most of the segment debunking the movie than honoring the person and her family.
+musicaltheatergeek79 you are right this video sucked. the story and move was great. I have met the family, well the current singers many times which are the grandchildren. Its a great story and this video seemed try to damage that. Funny how the interview the lady told the guy "it does not matter now does it"
musicaltheatergeek79 million dislikes from me!
Had several falsehoods Maria was NOT yet a NUN when she married. It was NOT easy to get out of Austria for them. They took nothing so as to not cause attention
Ah, the clue is that it's Channel 4 and they refer to it as a "feel-good story". They are left-wingers and they always wallow in misery.
@@johntomlinson6849 don't bring politics into this
Rest In Peace.
So sad I used to ski at their resort, such a wonderful family.
Its one of the best musical of all time .Although the real story is slightly different, it inspired producer to create a master piece in theatre that will last a lifetime. #never get bored watching
Ich habe selten so ein überaus schönes, weises und vor allem liebevolles, altes Gesicht gesehen, als dies hier von unserer bezaubernden Mizzi von Trapp gesehen!
If life were a musical, everyone would be screaming at me to shut up.
How rude of the lady to say that it doesn't matter really! In other words she only cares about the musical and having a good time having a sing a long, rather than historical accuracy and the lives of the people being portrayed and their feelings and those of their children and grandchildren and the Von Trapps for more generations to come!
Glad there are some intelligent and sensitive people like myself, who separate the fact from the fiction and say it's a great musical in its own right but want to know and care about what really happened to the family and what's happening to them and their progeny since?!
RIP Ms Von Trapp and the other family members who've passed away too!
Rest in peace, Maria "Mitzi" von Trapp.
May you rest in peace, thank you for sharing your precious memories.
This is my favorite movie and I even have the song track.
Thank you for posting
Rest and fly high in heaven 🥺🥺🥺
She had a wonderful life
Born 1915,she was very young to take on a ready made family bless her
1905-1987 Maria Augusta von Trapp, 1914-2014, her stepdaughter Maria Franziska von Trapp
Do these news people bother to do any research before reporting a story? The youngest member of the von Trapp Family singers, is still living. Johannes was not depicted in the 'Sound of Music' because he was born after the family immigrated to America.
Peter Piper they mean the original 7 children born to Captain Von Trapp and his first wife and also the real life counterparts of the film characters. The 3 surviving ones were born to the real life Maria.
R.I.P. so sad loved her and also of course the movie.
The sound of music is absolutely one of my favorite movies! And a great classic. I think it’s a bit insensitive for some to say that it doesn’t matter or who cares if the story isn’t like their real life. Especially when most of them were not trilled with how their father was depicted. It’s their real life if someone retold your entire story with a spin you’d feel some kind of way. So I think that although we long the movie we need to also be sensitive to the fact that they Real People lived a real life that was almost nothing like the movie we love!
I just this month, January 2020, learned of and watched the original Sound Of Music, completely in Deutsch, subtitles in English, and is vastly different from the version with Julie Andrews.
NOW I learn about these aspects. 😩
Maria von Trapp wrote several books....
I goes to show how much anyone can influence others with their words and actions. With song, people remember lessons or ways to get close to one another. We can all learn a lot from the lessons in this amazing movie. I think first is that you must try to reach the summit. No one will be a champion by sitting still and doing nothing.
I'm from the Philippines and I played the role of Leisl Vonn Trap when I was in kindergarten but none of the inapropriate things of course
Whatever the truth may be, the movie was a GREAT TRIBUTE TO THE IDEA OF WHAT HAPPENED TO FAMILIES IN WWII EUROPE. THIS VIDEO MISSED THE POINT AND DISHONORED EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN WWII EUROPE AND THE REST OF THE WAR.
THE PERSON MISSED THE POINT ENTIRELY!!
Why only people who died in Europe
Sorry but you’re being ridiculous. The idea of the movie was to tell an interesting love story between a loving nun and a rigid militar single parent. She cracked him and took care of his 7 children, teaching them to sing. They fell in love and eventually got married. Romance, good music and a real history told in Hollywood 50 years ago way. That’s all. And most everybody still loves it.
Anne Frank is even more an icon of young children during that war. The Trapps had been very very lucky. Nothing wrong with that, but its not representative.
Awesome very touching
they came to america thru italy and have a lodge in vermont.. several of the children including maria and mom became missionaries in new guinea for decades
Мюзикл прекрасный! А жизнь - это жизнь, не сказка. 0:56 какие дети красивые!
Schön, wenn alles wahr wäre.
wonderful film
Love this movie
R.I.P. Maria Franziska von Trapp (1914-2014):
Please tell us when ( date and month) did she passed away this year? Please reply once you get this message. Thanks.
Maria F. von Trapp passed away 22. February 2014.
***** Thanks for the answer, Andrea Mimi1984.
You are welcome.
She is buried in Vermont on the cemetry of the Lodge.
😢
I got good memories of Maria I wish u would sing your songs if u where the one who made the songs 😭
this so sad😢😢😢😢😥😥😥😥
Love them so much
OHHHHHHHHHHH for a second I thought you meant one of the children in the movie and I was like "Maria's not one of the children, she's their governess/stepmother!" and then I was like "Julie Andrews isn't dead, is she??" and then I remembered the movie is based on a true story xD
The movie is not based on the true story! If it was the children's names would have been Rupert Agathe Maria Hedwig Werner Johanna and Martina plus the captain's and Maria's 2 daughters Rosmarie and Eleanore who were born before the family left Austria for America!!!!
Absolutely Interesting.
Maria Was Quite A Lady.
🙌
August Moon 201167 This Maria was actually one of the children portrayed by Louisa the film the other Maria which was Julie Andrews character had died back in 1987
my moms favrite so sad
i love sound of music i have seen all three loved every one of them
Kathryn Paxton
There was more than the 1965 version?
Yes. There is the German version, 'Die Trapp Familie' and 'Die Trapp Family in Amerika'. Both German versions I feel are superior to the American film. The German films were closer to the real story and not based on the American stage musical.
Movies are always more interesting than the actual story the movie is based on. It is for this reason that millions watch the movie while only thousands watch the documentary based on the same topic.
And by the way, what the Von Trapp daughter said about the siblings not wanting their father to marry Maria is portrayed in the movie.
Ironically Maria Franziska outlived all of her siblings (the original seven portrayed in SOM), as she not only shared a name with her stepmother but was also the reason why Maria came to the family in the first place. Three of them lived to their 90s: Agathe (Liesl), Maria Franziska (Louisa) and Werner (Kurt). Their half-sister Rosmarie Von Trapp (the first of three children born to the Captain and Maria) is also in her 90s, and their other half-sister Eleonore turns 90 this year.
😢 Rosemarie (1929-2022), Eleonore (1931-2021), Johannes (1939) is still alive.*knock on wood*
That is so 😢😢
This is not the mother Maria. This is the daughter who is named Greta in the movie.
Catg1222 wrong it’s Louisa
What makes it wonderful is that Maria actually had a bad health, but she could outlive all of her siblings.
SOUND OF MUSIC IS AN EVER GREEN NO MATTER WHAT! IT WAS A GREAT MOVIE TO WACH IT NOW @FOR EVER FOR EVERYBODY! EVEN THE TRUTH WAS OTHERWISE THAN IN THE FILM DEPICTED STILL A SPLENDID APPROACH TO A NICE MUSICAL! GB EVERYBODY WHO WAS PART OF THIS!
sooo.... sad i loved the movie
Can you plz tell ,e how many years ago was the movie filmed
I'm not really sure... probably about 60-80 years ago. Sorry for replying a bit late! :(
It's about 50 years
It's about 50 years

I think most of us realize the musical movie is not 100% accurate though does have some historical accuracy to it. When we watch it, we do so because it's our childhood and makes us feel good, even during tough times in life. I'll always remember my mother singing My Favorite Things to me as a kid. I'll end up singing it to my kids.
This Maria is one of the children by George's 1st wife, and I myself have sometimes referred to her as Maria-the-daughter. She does have a counterpart in the stage show and the movie, but a different name is used to avoid confusion with the Maria we know of in them: the never-to-be-nun who eventually marries Georg.
All of the children's names were changed, partly because one of them was called Maria. They also changed the order by swapping the two oldest around. To avoid confusion I usually refer to the daughter as Maria Franziska. Their real names were Rupert (Friedrich), Agathe (Liesl), Maria Franziska (Louisa), Werner (Kurt), Hedwig (Brigitta), Johanna (Marta), and Martina (Gretl). The Captain and Maria also had three children not portrayed in the movie who are all alive: Rosmarie, Eleonore and Johannes. The original seven are now dead and gone.
@@FandubWorld and here is what I wrote on talk page on Wikipedia for Sound of Music film:
This excludes the 3 children that Captain and Maria had together. I am using information from Wikipedia articles for Captain and those 7 children. I didn't realize that all the children's names were changed for the show, which includes the stage play AND movie, right?
Rupert von Trapp, became Friedrich in the show (and switched with Liesl agewise)
Agathe von Trapp, became Liesl in the show (and switched with Friedrich agewise)
Maria Franziska von Trapp, became Louisa in the show (leaving Maria name for stepmother only, to avoid confusion)
Werner von Trapp, became Kurt in the show
Hedwig von Trapp, became Brigitta in the show
Johanna von Trapp, became Marta in the show
Martina von Trapp, became Gretl in the show
@@carlmoore3215 You basically just quoted what I wrote. And yes the changed names are the same in both the movie and stage show.
Other than one of the daughters sharing her name with Maria, I expect they also changed their names for privacy reasons. Their ages were changed too; in real life in 1939 when the family left Austria nearly all the "kids" were well into their 20s. Other than Rosmarie and Eleonore, the two daughters born to the Captain and Maria.
@@FandubWorld Thank you for mentioning privacy; that's the 1st time I have seen that mentioned in a thread regarding this show. As for what I brought over from Wikipedia talk, that was written independent of you; it occurs to me that "in age order" would be better than "agewise", because the ages in the show were quite different from real life
Interesting video
Apart from My favourite things, which has a magnificent chord progression , the music of the Sound of Music does not compare favourably with Oklahoma, King and I, South Pacific and og course the greatest of them all Carousel
R.I.P.
Long life!
I’m glad you lived to be 99 whoever you are?
This Maria was represented as Louisa in the movie.
I do believe that Johannes von Trapp is still alive.
Heart it!
very sad 😢😢
Maria was 82 when she died... 1905-1987
Not the same Maria. One was the step mother portrayed by Andrews in the movie. The other was one of the children. The names of the children in the movie were not the same as the actual children. Rupert, Agathe , Maria Franziska, Werner, Hedwig , Johanna, Martina were the 7 portrayed in the movie. Rosmarie von Trapp, Eleonore and Johannes were born later. Their mother was Maria the step-mother. She is the one that passed at 82. The daughter passed at 99.
@@littlebaboo sorry, I had forgotten about the daughter
The house is know a school I loved seeing it all
The 3 children who got left out: sobs dramatically*
The 1965 musical was based off of Rogers and Hammerstein's Broadway musical, which was based on the 1956 movie, which was more accurate to the actual events in 1938. Now you know.
I wish it was like the movie
Maria lived to 99? Pretty good for the former 10-year-old girl who had just gotten over a fever leaving her too weakened to walk with her three older siblings to the school. She was the only one of von Trapp children who needed Maria Augusta as Governess. Just that as she began to get the 10-year-old interacting with her siblings again, all the kids started hanging out with Maria and her Governess Maria Augusta.
😢
Good catholic woman mother sister wife and Austrian!
Marie Kučerová was probably born in Austria. But to Czech parents and she had a Czech name.
She didn't want her father to marry the nun but the nun took care of all of them. What a world?
The Do Re Mi song was written for the movie. There were loads of details changed for an English audience. Most movies like this are “based on” true stories, meaning they toss in fiction with fact. None of this should surprise anyone, especially if you read the biographies.
The Do Re mi song was in the stage musical
Ihdc1, yeah didn't know that one of the children was also named Maria.
Not to be confused her name was changed to Louisa in the movie
An interesting side story. The Baron's doctor was a woman who moved to Stowe, Vt with the family. Her name was Lichtenthaler.
Did Maria Von Trapp live in Minnetonka Minnesota before she dieded?
This is lame. Taking a few unfavorable snapshots and discoloring the whole story. No, the Von Trapps life was not the musical. But if you want a more accurate view into their family life, read their own writings. One of the daughters, Agathe, wrote a book focused on their father's life. Maria (not this daughter shown in the clip, but the Maria who married their father) wrote several books about their life - The Story of the Trapp Family Singers in particular. So good! And no, she wasn't 'in love' with Baron Von Trapp, but she did grow to love him dearly. And yes, sometimes her behavior wasn't the best - she was a human being after all, and had issues from her childhood, becoming the very young mother of a family that already existed, fleeing the Nazi regime, the shared responsibility of raising a very large family in a new country while learning the culture and language (starting with about $12 total for everyone), persevering with their music when it didn't 'take' for quite some time, and so much more... it's not good reporting to take 2 minutes and a few selected negative facts to tell a story.
Just watch the A&E Doc on this family......You can find it on youtube. It is VERY GOOD but only 45 Min. You will find out that a good chunk of the story facts are true in the sense that things did happen just not the way exactly like the movie. The Movie is EXCELLENT all the same. PLUS, On PBS's Great Performances, The UK Stage Production was really nice and worth a watch.
99
it was their mother who got them singing ,not maria . It was Agatha Von Trapp (nee Whitehead ) from Bolton in Lancashire . She was sister to Robert White ,the Bolton born engineer who invented the Torpedo in the 1840s and financed by the Austrio-Hungtarian Empire Habsburgs/ Govt for their navy based in what is today Croatia . This under licence of The Whitehead eng Co was to prove a decisive role in The Russo-Japanese War ,at the Battle of Port Arthur & Tsushima in 1905 . We have just celebrated the 90th birthday of family friend Alan Whitehead , Gt Grand Nephew of Robt.Whitehead 2 weeks ago .... This story of his family he tells with gusto still ! . Agatha Whitehead mother of The Von Trapps died of scarlet fever I believe !.

Misleading heading
At first sight I thought she was Polish nurse/humanitarian/social worker Irena Sendlerowa. 😄
i like this vid because it told us the truth
Are there actually 2 Marias? Fraulein Maria was the nun-candidate, who is the second Maria?
Why do BRITISH people like to destroy this?!
It's a mystery because the original stage production was even more popular (ran much longer) in London than it was here where it was a smash hit.
Do we ?
I feel like this is a stupid thing to make a news story about. Because I didn't even know it was based on a real family until years after first seeing it. And I doubt many care about how "accurate" it is.
My name is Maria. Not lying
Why would anyone think you are lying? There are millions of people on earth named Maria...

Which of the singing children did she play?
Julie Andrews is not dead
Tamara Childs no she is
GameMaster no she's not dead
Tamara Childs they are talking about the real Maria Von trapp
Maya SmithMusic If you’re confused there was basically two Maria‘s in real life this Maria was portrayed by Louisa in the film
The Trapps did not leave Austria with 10 children. The youngest, Johannes, was born in 1939 in the USA. Where are your fact checkers?
que lindo recuerdo...y como saben las pendex la cancion, jajajajajaa
Many in those days never loved each other. Women needed to get married.
It's a movie not a documentary. You don't have to be so literal and ruin it for yourself. Some people really are daft.
Hollywood destroys everything.
Ok I keep hearing conflicting things things about the real Maria. At first I heard she was pretty strict like this story says then other stories say she was more like the Julie Andrewes Maria. Which one is it??
So the truth finally comes out...the children didn't really want their father to marry Maria-but I thought they were the ones who insisted that Maria marry the Captain?
Where did you hear that? They don't mention that in the play/movie, either.
She mentions it in this interview
The captain sent the children to Maria with his marriage proposal when she was putting up Christmas tree decorations. She agreed because of the children. Although she became very fond of him and treated his memory like a saint after his death she admitted she didn't love him at first.
71crm I am not letting anything spoil The Sound of Music for me!
Also, it was the nuns at the abbey that convinced Maria, the governess, to accept the proposal for the sake of the children stating that was God's will for her. Maria, the mother, states that in several interviews she did.
