I saw your response to a comment on your community post about how you spent 15 HOURS EDITING THIS!!! Just wanted everyone to know how much you are dedicated to this because that is mind blowing. The fact you spent this much time to make sure we could get a lot out of this reaction with the songs is incredible. Seriously thank you from a lot of us for really having a passion for this. Very evident in your editing and you taking a huge amount of time to edit this one video just shows how much you love this! Also would really appreciate you pinning this comment so people can see it, I know you don’t like to talk about how much you work on these videos but feel like you should so people know why you take sometimes 3 days to upload a movie reaction. So those are my thoughts thanks again for a great reaction!
So happy you pinned the comment. Glad to know how much time and effort you spend for one video, just shows your passion for this.
Trout got it exactly right. You performed a labor of love. The whole family went to see it when it first came out, including 11 year old Leo. We literally wore the grooves off the soundtrack album. That was the beginning of my lifelong love affair with Oscar and Hammerstein, Julie Andrews, and Robert Wise. Best. Leo.
You're awesome. We appreciate your time and effort to entertain us.
@MerlinTroutmen Excellent job with the editing, you managed to keep the essence of the movie, while having to cut down a lot of the music.
@@klb9142 😂😂Appreciate it but Nick is the one who edited it, sorry if I confused you with my post. Was simply thanking Nick for the time he spent editing this.
It's so sad when the dad is singing Edelweiss and starts to break down when he sees all those nazis in the audience and he knows he is soon to be forced to fight for them or see his family killed.
Not to mention that Capt Von Trapp is a stout nationalist to Austria, and so he's literally watching his country be consumed by Nazi Germany. It's why everyone joining in with the song Edelweiss is so powerful; it's Austrian citizens proving that they won't lose their patriotic roots even as they're occupied.
@@sailormoon262 Germany and Austria were solid allies. The whole reason Germany got into WWI was to support Austria. But of course nationalists weren't into seeing their country be absorbed like that. Damned wars. Now all these countries are absorbed into the EU. They're destroying national sovreignty and flavor without firing a shot. :(
@@LadyIarConnacht Well, you started off stong
It also the meaning of the song Edelweiss. According to my friends from Austria, they said this song was basically telling the Nazis “You maybe coming for our nation but we still have you beat “.
That always gets to me too. They had no idea what was in store for them.
“Reverend Mother, I have sinned.” has got to be the most quietly badass line. Like yeah, I did this “objectively” bad thing, but it was for a damn good reason
Kinda similar to the American civil-rights concept of "good trouble".
My mother loved that part when the nuns confess.
Every religion picks and chooses what they want to believe. It's a farce.
@@michaelccozensI never thought about it this way but that's absolutely a brilliant comparison it is exactly like that!
I wouldn’t call that fearmongering badass and it wasn’t bad then
"Oh the poor didn't want this one." is one of my favourite movies lines of all time xD
@@ShuffleUpandDeal32 There's a more subtle line that the Captain has in the same scene that always makes me chuckle. . Maria says that she can make her own clothes. The Captain responds with, "I'll see that you get some new material ... Today, if possible."
Julie Andrews is an absolute jewel.
Many years ago she had "routine" surgery to remove a minor nodule on her vocal chords. It went badly, and when she woke up her singing voice had been destroyed. I can't imagine how utterly heartbreaking that must have been for her.
Even now she can't talk about it 💔 to heartbreaking for her and for all who loved her singing voice.
I think its known its really hard for her to talk about even now. She's a beautiful classic lady. She's absolutely golden
she was in the middle of a broadway run too:/ apparently she got lawyers to look into it and everything bc they promised her that her voice would be fine. grateful it didn't stop her from acting and performing though
She still is and always will be a queen. Even today she is creating great art. She directed the 60th anniversary of My Fair Lady and it was an honour to see that here in Australia.
Can I recommend Victor Victoria for Julie fans. It doesn’t get enough love
I’m about 4 min into this reaction and paused to say it’s sad that some viewers would give you grief for trying out this movie. Expanding your horizons into all genres, at least once can never be a bad thing. If you decide you don’t like it that’s completely fine but at least you gave it the chance. Too many would write off oldies or musicals or black & white films just because they think old means old fashioned and not worth their time but it’s the experience that counts so whether you like a movie, hate a movie or fall somewhere in between its great that you give everything a chance......That variety and honesty is why we subscribe to your channel; keep it up!
Thanks so much. And that’s what I try to do with every movie because you never know when a movie will surprise you. And I love to give every movie a chance, so thank you!
@@nickflix8657 Your empathy for the characters is wonderful!
Well said. People who react negatively, or completely dismiss a film on the basis of its age are complete fools.
Also, if an older movie has lasted this long/has remained relevant and entertaining this long, then I'd say it's automatically worth looking at for good or bad. Any media from those older time periods which are generally crummy or not worth watching have fallen out of common usage. Like how 2 + 2 = 4, a piece of media which people still talk about is probably worth looking into if it's survived obscurity for 50 years.
@@jaistashu1560 Considering it still has live stage shows to this very day speaks volumes
Based on a true story....after their escape, the Von Trapp's family finally ended up in Vermont (Stowe), where the Von Trapp Family Lodge continues to operate today.
The great-grandkids are still performing, and have at-least one video on RUclips.
They chose a very random rural location
Our company put all the carpet in the condos up there in the 80's. They gave us a two bedroom suite with a jacuzzi on the balcony.
@@kateofone apparently it reminded them of Salzburg.
But also realize that crossing the Alps was a cinematic addition. In reality they just had to cross the train tracks behind their house.
Fun fact about the opening shot: they struggled to get it because it was raining really heavily and the helicopter couldn't get up. They had like 20 minutes of clear skies to shoot it, and they had to cut away at the end because the wind from the helicopter knocked Julie Andrews over haha
Wow that is such a cool fun fact! Thanks for letting me know.
Sorry, I just have to piggyback on this. I’m not sure about the part about where it was raining heavily so they couldn’t get the helicopter up, but I do know about the helicopter that kept knocking over Julie Andrews! (Julie tells the story a LOT)
@@hgftrew1992 It'd make for a great blooper if they still had the footage of it.
@@nickflix8657 Here is Saturday Night Live’s version of the gazebo scene if you haven’t seen it. ruclips.net/video/EOZlp-gjw68/видео.html
Rain or not, the sky wouldn’t stay consistent which messed with the continuity from shot to shot. So they had to do it over and over.
Important fact: Sister Sophia, the nun who sings "She waltzes on her way to mass, and whistles on the stair", is played by the incredible Marni Nixon. Marni was known as "the ghost singer", because she was Hollywood's go-to actress for vocal dubbing in movie musicals, when the actress they hired didn't have the right voice. She's the singing voice of Maria in West Side Story, of Eliza in My Fair Lady, and of Anna in The King and I. Unfortunately, she was mistreated a large amount of the time: for example, the soundtrack of The King and I sold hundreds of thousands of copies, but Marni was only paid $420 dollars, and her name was left out of the credits.
Julie Andrews was one of the only women in Hollywood who didn't need her vocals to be dubbed over, and so Marni was able to play a role where she could show her face in The Sound of Music. Let's show her some appreciation! (And I highly recommend watching West Side Story; it's a retelling of Romeo and Juliet set in 1950s New York City, and it's a masterpiece).
Marni was amazing! The producers were actually worried about how Julie Andrews would react to Marni Nixon’s presence in The Sound of Music. Julie originally played Eliza onstage in My Fair Lady but for the movie, was passed over in favor of bigger-name Audrey Hepburn, whose singing as we know was dubbed by Marni. Anyway, when Julie and Marni finally met on the set of The Sound of Music, Julie said, “Marni, I’m a fan of you!” and the producers breathed a sigh of relief 😄.
Marni did a lot of concerts with symphonies in later years.
"I'm Kurt, I'm 11, I'm incorrigible." Has always been my favorite line in the movie. (For obvious reasons 🤪)
That was always a noticeable line when I would watch as a kid. I never knew what it meant.
Kurt went on to play Spider-Man in a TV show.
@@kevinbailey8827 That was Nicholas Hammond who played the older boy Friedrich. I loved that show when I was a kid. I used to take clothesline rope and stuff it up my sleeves to mimic his webslingers. I climbed up and on everything to jump off onto the furniture. No wonder my knees are shot.
@@kensteele5139 The fact that Nicholas Hammond played Kurt has been in my head for over forty years and didn’t need to be verified. Now I stand corrected. Thanks. I won’t make that particular mistake again.
I loved all the superhero shows as a kid. Wonder Woman, Shazam, Isis, The Flash, Gemini Man, The Six Million Dollar Man, and the Bionic Woman. Even the Greatest American Hero.
@@kevinbailey8827 Me too. I couldn't get enough of the super hero shows. Watching The Six Million Dollar Man with my father on Sunday night was my favorite thing to do. I watched all the shows you mentioned and The Incredible Hulk too. Saturday morning cartoons watching the Super Friends, Spiderman and his Amazing Friends, Thundar, Blackstar, and all those great shows was a ritual. My friends knew not to come over until after 11AM. I wish I still had my Six Million Dollar doll, but that's long gone. My father actually made my mother return the Bionic Woman doll she bought me. No son of his was going to have a girl doll. No sir. Good memories. Thanks for sharing your story.
I was lucky enough to grow up with this movie but even if anyone doesn't like musicals they should be able to recognize the great craft and talent that went into It.
I usually don't like musicals but I really like this movie.
My friend's boyfriend hadn't seen this so we made him watch it, he came in with a bunch of preconceptions about what it would be like. He was surprised that it included Nazis, was genuinely moved by the ending, and said he could absolutely see why it's a classic.
@@joeypotter6051 That's very cool, you have a keeper
You clearly have good taste if you like this AND Pink Floyd
@@stuffwithsoph8264 Thank you. Pink Floyd Is my favorite band and sound of music Is my second favorite musical.
I always felt bad for the Captain. He struggles to maintain control so he doesn’t lose anything more that he loves. Maria upends that control, and shows him he can trust enough to open his heart to deeper love. Love is to be experienced.
Fun fact: When I was about 5yo I went to my aunt's house and to keep me entertain she put on this movie for me, I was super engaged until my dad told me that we had to leave, and I didn't want to because I wanted to finish it, so they told me that it had a sad ending because they sent the children to the war. And I grew up traumatized without wanting to see the movie because of the finally, until a couple years ago I decided to watch it... And it didn't end like that... All my life I had been living a lie....
Omg parents! I swear I still think of what my mom probably considers little white lies that I held onto for years because they forgot to ever correct them after telling me.
That's terrible 😂 That's something you expect from older siblings, not parents!
That's terrible lol. My dad made my brother and I watch this when we were kids because it was the 1st movie he watched in the theaters when he was a kid.
Samesies, but evil opposite reaction when I was finally allowed to watch West Side Story all the way through to the end. The babysitter always made me go to bed right after "America". Thought it was all happy singing and dancing.
Yep yep, nope.
@@emilybennett6567 Now that is evil lol
I know I'm in the minority, but the reason I love this movie is the historical context. Yes, the songs are great, but the story is amazing.
I love old movies with intermission. It was meant to be seen out at a theater with a large audience.
The intermission meant hurry to the bathroom and then the concession stand and get back before the movie started again.
@@porflepopnecker4376 In order to compete with television during the 1950s and 1960s, many big budget films were given the "epic" treatment, and their initial showings were in select cities, and were made into gala occasions. They called them "road shows". People would get all dressed up just like they were going to the opening night of a play on Broadway. Many of the films, musicals and non-musicals, would have an overture before the feature, and an intermission with a piece of music called an "entr'acte" somewhere in the middle. Then there would also be more music after the film called "exit music". Then the film would go into general release, and the overture, entr'acte, and exit music would be edited out.
As a child you can't really appreciate this movie, but as an adult you learn to have a lot more appreciation for the beauty of the movie
My children grew up on this movie and it is still one of their favorites. They are 22, 29, 29, and 32
unless you remember living back then but yes
Musicals give me an indescribable feeling of joy and happiness. RIP Christopher Plummer and bless Julie Andrews.
I didn't know Christopher Plummer died.
Hey everyone hope you enjoyed the reaction. Took me a while to edit to try and get some of these amazing songs passed copyright, but think this will work! Next up is E.T.!
This is based on a true story.
You did a fantastic job with the edit! Thanks for trying to get as much of the songs in that you could. 🎶😃
Seriously great editing!
Did not know that thanks for letting me know!
@Thomas Kelly @jimhsfbay thanks so much! Glad you guys liked it.
Winner of 5 Oscars including Best Picture.
Nick, it’s 3 hours because it was originally a Broadway musical. They cut out like half the songs, so basically it was originally intended for the stage, redramatized and cut for film.
There was an amazing TV production of the play a few years ago that's available on DVD. It was broadcast live so the whole thing was done in one single live take, and it was absolutely incredible.
It was also shown with an intermission, as were a lot of big musicals of the time.
Sometimes a film provides a better setting for a song than a stage play. This was the case with "Do-Re-Mi." In the play, it was sung in a drawing room and was stagnant. But when producer Saul Chaplin went over to Salzburg to scout shooting locatons, he came back with the idea of shooting the song and showing off Salzburg. Visually, it was beautiful, but they created a time lapse which indicates how Maria and the children became closer. It was one of the most masterful editing sequences in the history of films.
I love how when Maria comes back and is walking around at night, Maria puts the dress on that the Baroness said he loved seeing her in, it’s such a power move that shows why Maria came back. 😎😉
Out of the 7 kids, 5 are still alive. Unfortunately Charmain Carr who played Liesl and Heather Menzies who played Louisa have both passed away.
It's very sad. Funnily, Carr was quite a lot older than the other children. I think she was in her twenties, despite playing a sixteen-year-old, and she said the next oldest was actually a young teen.
I don’t care what people think. I love this movie and so do my daughters.
Victor/Victoria - Julie Andrews plays a woman impersonating a man impersonating a woman. Basically the plot.
OOOH! This is a great one. Would love to see a reaction to this!
SO funny. I also saw her do it on Broadway, so thankful to have heard her voice before it was taken.
This was my favorite movie as a kid. I rewatched this like kids rewatch frozen. So, I don't understand saying it's slow. If it can entertain a 3 year old for 3 hours, the pacing is just fine.
Me too!
"I know this is about a babysitter!" When I tell you I wheezed...
I just wanted to say thanks for being so diverse. Really does make you one of my favorite reactors!
When my dad served in the army back in 1971, he visited Austria and he said it was absolutely beautiful and he still has pictures. In Germany he lived with a German family, and the mom of that family and my dad became so close, he talks about her every day and still keeps in touch with her children to this day, sending Christmas cards from South Texas to Germany. Every time he hears the moving song “Edelweiss” he gets emotional remembering his German mother Elsa and time spent with her. It’s one of the few moments I see him get emotional.
If you've never seen Mary Poppins, I'd suggest that movie too. It's another musical with Julie Andrews.
Good on you for getting out of everyone's comfort zone; great reaction. I played Herr Zeller (the nazi who intercepts them during their escape attempt and escorts them to the concert) in a production a few years ago, along with my mum who played a nun. It was special because it was the first time we had appeared on stage together in 43 years!
Probably the best way you could have done a reaction to this movie. You managed to show a lot more of the songs, honestly thought you would show a lot less. So thank you for reacting to this movie and trying to show us a lot of the songs, know that must have been a nightmare.
The way you paused when they saw the kids playing in the trees 😂
Hi Nick, I'm sorry you received a lot of negativity about reacting to this film but I think you've proved all the doubters wrong! You gave a very genuine and entertaining reaction so kudos to you!
I sang Edelweiss to my daughter nearly every night for the first maybe 12 years of her life. She's outgrown it now. :-(
My mom used to sing it to my sister and I as a lullaby too.
Even though she's getting older she will never forget that time you had with her and will always cherish those memories.
My dad used to sing Edelweiss to me on his guitar. Holds a deep place in my heart and is a core memory of the short time I had with my dad. I know your kid may have ‘outgrown’ it, but one day they’ll appreciate it again and love to hear it once more
Love your reaction! I do agree with the pacing issues but I actually do love the Baroness - she isn’t a villain as much as she is a complex human who is bad with kids and unlucky in love. She was so gracious when she saw the writing on the wall and let the Captain be with Maria - I don’t think she gets enough credit for that!
My favorite musical film next to Fiddler on the Roof! I still have yet to see it on the stage. The songs make me feel much better when I'm feeling down. More people need to watch this! (Also watch Fiddler on the Roof if you haven't! Amazing songs and a touching story.)
would love to see a fiddler on the roof reaction!
Seriously! It's one of my all-time favorites (can you believe Topol was only 35 when he played Tevye?), and no one ever reacts to it!
@@lindseysquire8417 It was amazing to finally see Fiddler on the Roof live on a broadway stage! I was able to go and brought my mom, and this was within a month of the pandemic hitting. We had such an amazing time, and it was great to see the performers executing the bottle-balancing scene!
Yes to Fiddler on the Roof! One of the best movie musicals ever, it’s actually one of the few movies that was very faithful to the stage musical. The only difference I remember was one song was cut but it wasn’t a really noticeable omission.
@@ifeelpretty5790 Yeah, I got to see Fiddler on the Roof on stage right before the pandemic hit (it really was a bucket list item), and the one or two omitted songs didn't take away much at all from the movie.
I remember insisting my girlfriend watch my favourite movie, we made a deal. She would watch mine then I would watch hers. So we watched mine which she enjoyed, then we watched hers - The Sound of Music - I fell asleep. For the rest of my life I would feel guilty about that, I carry that with me whenever anyone talks about or watches The Sound of Music. If the female in question is reading this, you'll know who you are, then please accept my deepest apology. I was a jerk for falling asleep.
Did you ever rewatch it and what is your opinion of the film now?
@@tinaloye2014 That is the weirdest coincidence. Seconds before that notification I was checking to see if there was a 4k version of The Sound of Music available. Planning to watch it this weekend. I'll let you know.
Francis X. Lord hope you like it!
Don’t feel bad I did laugh tho 😂🤣😂🤣
The little detail of him calling her 'captain' when they have their big argument is such a cool one. It shows you how he's gotten so used to no one challenging him. When someone does, he immediately treats them with the authority he would give an officer of equal rank.
I'm from Austria and almost no one in Austria knows of this movie, I only know it because a Canadian friend made me watch it. And also everytime I tell Americans that I'm Austrian, they say "oh from sound of music" and I had no idea what they're talking about. Also on a sidenote not all of us jump around in the mountains singing (well some of us do... Okay a lot of us do. Myself included. )
Your reaction to this may be the most wholesome thing I've ever seen.
Love this movie. Will you watch Singin' In The Rain also? It's the greatest musical ever made, imo, and one of the funniest too.
AMD the phantom of the opera
*Singing in the Rain* is so much fun! A wonderful film! I definitely second that recommendation!
Another please on Singing in the Rain!
Plan on watching it eventually, on my list!
Gene Kelly 😍 love Singing in the Rain ❤
Love finding movie commentary channels that actually SAY STUFF and don't just stare at the screen and notice things! And yes Julie Andrews is a queen! Fantastic actress and singer, brilliant woman.
You did a great job, Nick. Your thoughts, your editing, and your attention to the details to making your channel one of the best reaction channels on RUclips - it really does show, man! You know me, I am a fan of who you are and what you're doing - ALWAYS. So... thank you for all that you do, kind sir. And now you are doing to watch E.T.....? I am really looking forward to your reaction that wonderful and awesome masterpiece of a movie - you might wanna have a box of kleenex close by while you're watching it, though. You're a great man, Charlie Brown....
Thanks so much John means a lot! And will do haha, thanks for the warning😊
Great reaction. Love seeing a RUclips reactor who (1) reacts to a movie like this, and (2) is capable of appreciating it. I hope you do all your reactions solo from now on, because when you're with those other guys and their constant wisecracks you can't really be yourself.
I plan on doing mainly solo reactions with a reaction with one of my friends maybe every couple of weeks who I think appreciates movies similar to me and I can start to be myself around, but yeah mainly solo!
@@nickflix8657 I think you would really enjoy the classic comedy/drama "The Trouble With Angels" with Hayley Mills and Rosalind Russell.
Christopher Plummer had a love/hate kind of thing for this movie. He thought it was kind of cheezy. Julie Andrews had surgery on her throat in the 1990's, which forever ruined her voice. She sued the Doctors who performed the surgery and I believe settled out of court. I'm not sure if she did much singing after that. Prior to the filming of the scene where the boat tips over with Maria and the children, the director had told Julie Andrews that the youngest child could not swim and asked her to keep an eye on her when they went into the water. Things never go as planned and when the boat tipped, she found herself separated from the child and went into a bit of a panic. Thankfully, they also had some men in scuba gear under the water and one of them got a hold of the kid
Christopher Plummer came around on this film later, saying he saw how many people found it so beloved and how charming it is.
Wow that is so interesting. And I feel so bad for the little girl now haha.
@@dawggirl Yeah, when you see so many people who actually adore this movie, I'm sure he had to stop and re-think his initial attitude toward it. It's so beloved.
Christopher Plummer referred to this as "The Sound of Mucus"!
I think Christopher Plummer explained in interviews late in his life that it really wasn't so much that he hated *The Sound of Music* as that he felt that a lot of other high-quality work in his long and varied career was under-appreciated by comparison.
This is my favorite movie of all time. I cannot with people that think it's boring. Guaranteed I'd think their favorite is boring. RIP Christopher Plummer, that handsome Captain. Thank you so much for reacting to this one!
Think you've broken new ground here: Up to now, fans thought reactors "couldn't do" non-Disney musicals because they were focusing on RUclips, where songs had to be cut for copyright, so nobody ever asked for Grease, Singin' in the Rain or Sound of Music.
But with Patreon full-videos that mute or don't show the movie, seems like that should be able to get around restrictions. (Worked for one reactor being copyright-attacked for anime.) Now we can ask the other reactors to show a generation "why people sing in public"! :)
ahhhhhhh Singing in the Rain!!!!
It’s so hard to do a review of a musical without the songs, you did very well
Just so you know, the real von Trapp family escape wasn't anywhere near as dramatic. They just got on a train and rode to Italy.
Yeah, many differences. Maria went there as a tutor for one of the girls in real life. Also the Captain wasn't as emotionally distant in real life as in the movie.
Robert Wise truly made a beautiful film. Fifty-five years later and it's still fresh. A lot of lasting power with this film.
The lonely Goatherd is one of my favorite sequences.
Yo da lay he hoo
Thank you so much for reacting to this movie. So many reactors play it safe and only react to the most popular movies from the 80s to today and not enough are willing to branch out to classics and other movies that reach back into other eras. Even if they don't get the views of a Marvel reaction or a summer blockbuster an occasional review that reaches beyond the pop culture of today and away from the safe norms helps add a breadth to your content that so many others lack.
My personal connection to this movie is that I spent an entire summer in the orchestra of an outdoor performing arts guild that performed The Sound Of Music every Friday and Saturday evening in a natural outdoor amphitheater. Families would setup picnic blankets on the hillside clearing. Our small orchestra was positioned between two stages in front of a small woods with the nearby mountains in the background where the play took place. So many great memories of clear summer evenings performing for 100-200 people. I will always cherish the memory and am transported back to that time of my life every time I watch this movie. It will forever hold a special place in my heart for that reason.
Thank you again.
Watching someone witness this quintessential movie for the first time brings me tears of joy. This movie is CLASSIC and BRILLIANT movie making.
Lol as Hermione would say ... just because those other people have the emotional range of a teaspoon ... I’m just starting the vid and I think you will love it
I was surprised to hear people have called it boring. I mean yeah it's long but it's so good and worth all the awards and recognition it receives. The songs, the cinematography, the father, the love story, the patriotism. I even sat through the whole thing as a kid several times before I really understood the story because the songs and acting was so good. Got to be a triple threat to be cast in a movie like this. Now that I'm old enough to understand it all, I still sit through it, but with a box of tissues handy. 😆
I LOVED your reaction!! This is the best musical ever! AND it's based on a TRUE FAMILY! They changed the names and condensed the events of 10 years in what seems like several months, but still, the real family loved it, except they hated the way their father was portrayed because he was a nice, gentle man.
In real life the Baroness was a Princess.
25:15 "Entr'acte" is French for "between the acts".
The real family actually lost all their millions when the bank they invested in went belly-up. They did not leave Austria like in the movie. They just simply took a train to Italy. Beyond their huge back yard there was a train stop.
After travelling a lot through Europe and North America giving concerts, the real Von Traps ended up settling in Vermont on a farm. Vermont reminded them of Austria. Besides touring a lot, the family had a music camp for several years. Then they built a hotel, which they turned into a ski lodge. The ski lodge still exists today.
Some of the Von Trapp grandchildren (children of one of the boys) had a singing group when they were in their teens. They were very good! I don't know if they are still together now that the grandchildren are adults.
Next musical: Little Shop of Horrors!
It has two vastly different endings too.
Love Little Shop of Horrors!!!! It is so good.
Yess!!!
Yes yes yes! With the OG ending that was restored. Don't feed the plants!
@@ryanje8147 me too I actually cosplayed as Seymour at Halloween
Right at the end when Rolfe finds them, the actor did an amazing job. You can tell he's scared out of his mind at the prospect of having to kill, which is why he doesn't do it, but he's also terrified of disobeying his commander.
I have to say you are one of the most genuine people I have watched reacting . Its great that you want to soak up so many different genres . As an older chap I can say to keep an open mind , to be curious and not to be afraid of something different are good traits to have in life. Keep up the great work , stay true and people will stay with you . 🙂 . Soak up everything you can .
You should react to West Side Story . . . also directed by Robert Wise. Great story, great songs and great dancing!
Hey, this was a great reaction video! I really appreciated that you were so enthusiastic and honest as to how the movie made you feel as you went. :)
Thanks so much!
Julie Andrews’ most recent work is as the narration of Lady Whistledown in the Netflix show “Bridgerton.”
THAT WAS JULIE?!?!!?!?
So good to see you get sucked into it. It’s old fashioned and cheesy at times but if you surrender to it then it’s so wholesome and warm
I absolutely loved this movie when I was younger, even though I didn't fully understand the stuff about the war until I got older. I still have the two cassette tapes that the movie was in since it's so long, and it's still one of my favorite movies of all time. Absolutely beautiful through and through. (RIP Christopher Plummer) It's probably one of the reasons why I love musicals. Great reaction! I'm glad to see more people, especially the younger generation, watching these classics cuz they don't know what they're missing. Man, I feel old but I'm not even 30 yet.
Same with me. The movie is rather genius that way in that if you are
watching it as a child it just seems like a storybook romance with catchy songs. You don't really notice the underlying tension with the threat of war & the Nazis scrutiny. Watching it as an adult the serious content becomes very clear. Masterfully done,IMO.
They filmed the Do-Re-Mi sequence out of order, in little segments. Charmian Carr (Liesl) was sincerely doubting what it was going to turn out like. She was amazed at the finished product.
One of most beautiful movies visually I have ever seen in a movie theatre. Fun fact the movie was directed by Robert Wise. The opening scene flying above the Alps is in honor of the opening scene of West Side Story where they are flying over New York City. Robert Wise directed West Side Story just a few years earlier.
this is the most impactful movie in my life that awakened the music inside me at the early age of 2... (i especially loved 16 going on 17)
and until now I'd never get tired of watching this classic! THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO THIS ABSOLUTE CHILDHOOD FAVORITE!
I honesty really appreciate how genuine you are with your reviews and reactions. You don't try to mask your emotions when things get emotional in scenes and aren't dissuaded by a film if it seems "childish" from the cover.
I love this movie, one of my all time favorites~
I love to see reactors try out all different kinds of movies 💕
That’s my goal haha, and it was a great movie.
glad you watched this. this deserves every award. it is truly magnificent. i think better than mary poppins.
This is in my Top 5 favorite movies of all time! everything in this movie is just perfect! thank you so much for doing a reaction to it and making sure the legend that is this irreplaceable film lives on in the eyes of new audiences!
This particular musical is near and dear to my heart. When I was a junior in high school I auditioned for the part of Captain Von Trapp in our high school production of this play. However, I was passed over for another student and instead landed the part of Herr Zeller(the rude Austrian Nazi that is so smug in dealing with the Captain). I was given sage advice by my father to play the role as truly as possible and endeavor to do my utmost to make the audience hate my character. I did so and even wrote a small paragraph in my high school's pamphlet for the play, explaining how I would play the despicable character in order to make them hate me. I was rewarded by a certain patron of the play who approached me afterward during the cast meet and greet to assure me he'd read my paragraph and thoroughly hated my character. I was honored and thanked him accordingly. It remains one of my proudest accomplishments.
Other Julie Andrews movies: The Princess Diaries 1 and 2 and Mary Poppins
Victor Victoria
We NEED Mary Poppins on YT Reaction. Spit-spot.
10:13 "How old is he though? Because she's 16 right?"
This made me laugh, for obvious reasons.
The best part of this is your reaction...the look on your face, the wide eyes, the tears the laughter. Yes, a movie can be exceptional and 3 hours long. No bloodshed, no swearing, no explosions. How on earth did they do it? Julie Andrews is my fave actress and singer. I was so sad to hear that she lost her voice due to a botched surgery. What a shame.
Julie Andrews is a national treasure. I was sad to learn about the passing of Christopher Plummer. Such an amazing talent. Little fun fact, he actually hated this movie and referred to it as The Sound of Mucus. One of my favorites tho since I was a kid.
I was in 1st grade when this came out, I still have the playbill. Have loved it all my life.
Julie Andrews makes this movie. She's absolutely amazing.
I love this film and as much as I love the main characters, I actually really like the Baroness. I guess in other films her role would be the typical “villain” trying to do everything to get rid of the woman her man is falling for - but here she’s so amazingly tactful about everything, you can really see how much of a sophisticated, cultured woman she is. Of course, she does use Maria’s guilt against her to get her to leave, but honestly I think she did that in the most polite manner possible. She’s never rude or mean to her, nor does she do anything to sabotage her and the Captain when they’re having a moment. And when he finally realizes his feelings, she realizes that immediately and lets him know that in a smart, tactful way while also managing to save herself from being rejected by gently rejecting him herself. Honestly I love her character so much.
Can’t believe anyone would give you flack for this film. It’s a world renowned classic! I have yet to meet anyone from any age or background who does not love the songs in this movie. 👍😎
One of my favorite movies from my childhood and I still have the large vcr tape of it 😭✨✨✨
One of my favorites growing up! Watched it many times with my mom---she loved it so much that she always sang Edelweiss to me as a baby 💕
Gosh I almost forgot the part where they're all hiding in the abbey. That was SO nerve-wracking for me as a kid!
This is one of the movies of my childhood! I only watched the first part as a young child and only started to watch the second part of the movie when I was a late teen so color me surprised when I first saw the last part for the first time!!! It was darker than I expected! Amazing acting and the backdrop setting was so intense (even though it was light compared to Schindler's list of The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas). I also liked the natural chemistry between Julie Andrews and the late Christopher Plummer ( Maria and Von Trapp respectfully). The songs were amazing as well. My favorite was My favorite Things and Do Re Mi songs. I am glad that you have enjoyed this movie!!
My mother was diagnosed with cancer yesterday, and I've been watching your videos to help cheer me up. Thank you.
Sorry to learn. My mother had it too.
Rip to Charmain (Liesl) and Heather (Louisa). A little update 4 of the grandchildren was part of a singing group called The Von Trapps unfortunately they ended the group in 2015. The family also have a lodge in Vermont.
This brings back a lot of memories! I do theater and we did Sound of Music, it was one of my favorite shows we've done. We even did the same dance as the father and Maria did!
Little fact - Liesl (Charmain) actually hurt her ankle during the bench dancing scene. I think she slipped and went through the glass or similar. Anyway, they had to put makeup on her ankle to cover the bandage/injury. In the VCR version you could see it. Since they edited the footage for DVD and enhanced it though they covered it up so it's no longer visible. Also, the youngest actress who played Gretl nearly drowned on the boat scene because she fell off the wrong way (she was meant to go with the rest so another actress could catch her, but she went backwards) She was rescued by either Charmain or Julie. Can't remember which. This seems like a pretty dangerous movie!
I am from Austria. Lived here all my life and I have to say we get so many tourists in Salzburg because of this movie yet - believe it or not - this movie is relatively unknown in Austria and most people that do know it don't seem to like it a lot. I never saw it myself, I heard of it and know what the story is about but never bothered giving it a try. And that might be because it generally is a film title pronounced with distaste, at least where I live. Austrians don't like it because it gives a false sense of our national identity. It's not as much of a problem as it used to be (at least I don't think so) but you would be surprised just how many times I told somebody "I am from Austria" and they replied with "Oh! Australia!". There are stereotypes we'd rather distance ourselves from. We don't run around in dirndl or lederhosen all day long. And the Nazi theme was somewhat troubling so soon after WW2. After watching your reaction I get why my fellow countrymen and women don't like this film much. But on the other hand, your reaction allowed me to see it from different eyes. I don't think I will ever sit down and watch the whole movie on my own. I don't have anything against musicals or old films but it's just not my thing. But you allowed me to listen to your opinions; to hear what another person has to say who didn't watch the movie knowing its negative reputation in Austria. I really love your reactions, Avatar or not, and you have an interesting mix of different genres that you react to and I love that. Keep up the great work!
I love this movie so much. It makes me cry with overwhelming memories and emotion. Thank you for reacting to it! ❤❤
No lie, everytime the audience joins in Edelweiss I get chills & tear up.
well this is definitely not something i expected to see on a youtube reaction channel! what a treat :) i grew up with this movie, it will always have a very special place in my heart. i'm an old person - i was a kid in the days when really the only way you could rewatch movies at home was if you taped them off public television onto VHS tapes, and this was one of the few we had. i probably watched it twice a month, if not more. haven't seen it in years, though, so thank you so much for the refresher! i should find it on disney plus.
This movie came out when I was about 3 years old.
I don't actually remember this taking place but I was told about it...
My parents took a "date night", got a babysitter for me, and went to see Sound of Music.
They came out of the movie at the end, drove home, got me, and drove back to the next showing to watch it all the way through again! (Evidently I was a really well behaved kid!?)
And then of course, in the era before video, and DVD, I grew up going to see it in the theater every time it came around again on revival. So, it's one of my favorites!
I haven't seen anyone mention the composers who wrote the music; Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein II. Or, known as Rogers and Hammerstein. Together they created some of the most stunning musicals of that era;
The Sound of Music, Oklahoma!, South Pacific, The King and I, and Show Boat to name a few. So that might give you a jump off point for more reactions
Yes, the REAL Maria von Trap is in the movie in the background shot, with two of her daughters. When Julie Andrews is singing "I Have Confidence" on the way from the Abbey to the Von Traps house, as she sings the lines “I must stop these doubts, all these worries / If I don’t, I just know I’ll turn back,” she passes under a large archway. Behind Andrews is what looks like a city center, and you can see three women - the von Trapps - walking across the screen behind her.
Thank you for a wonderful reaction! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
For a more modern musical, basically a "rock opera" or "sung through musical" meaning there is very little spoken dialogue, I would recommend RENT, a musical that dominated Broadway for 12 years. There are a number of versions available to watch, both a movie version and the filmed live version of it's closing night on Broadway. Although editing it might be interesting, come to think of it.
Can't recommend it enough, it's incredible.
Thanks for all you do, I understand that editing this was a job and a half to share the music and stay within copyright...wow, you did an excellent job!
I went with a group of friends to see this movie in the theater in the late 1970s. I was 3 years old when if first came out. There were not many people in the theater when we saw it. When the Baroness convinced Maria to leave while she was changing, as she left the room, the guy in front of us shouted "I hope she falls down the stairs!".
Can this become a trend, please? Where are all the other Sound of Music reactions?!
Loved your reaction. This movie is credited at saving “Hollywood”. Previously the studios were all most bankrupt. This financial windfall helped.
This movie should be shown in schools across the country. I am so glad you reacted to this. It is amazing. There is a reason it swept the Oscars. The story, the characters, the talent. Perfection.
I have seen this movie many times but watched this entire thing because your reactions to various parts was priceless. You were very fun to watch and had me laughing throughout. Great job reviewing & reaction.
RIP Christopher Plummer , I love that scene at the festival singing Edelweiss
16:52 He did, he just didn't want to admit they were his own kids.
The scenery alone makes this one of the most memorable musicals of all time.
I'm absolutely shocked you were able to get so much of the music in there. I adore this movie. I didn't watch for so long because of the run-time but I disagree, I wouldn't cut out anything. The pacing for older movies always feels off because we're used to so much more fast-paced films today, but I think this movie is practically perfect. The fact that this is all based on a true story just puts it over the edge for me, and bravooooo to Captain von Trapp for not getting down with the Nazis.
