When I first saw the movie "The Sound of Music", I was still in junior high school, and I didn't know what love was, and I didn't know the hardship and anxiety brought by the cruelty of World War II.
Even less do we know the unquenchable faith in the hearts of patriots, so to speak, we are just watching the hilarity. But the soundtrack here, "Snow Lotus", "Lonely Shepherd" and "Doraemon" have been lingering in my mind for a long time, and I feel the power of music and the touching and happiness it brings me.
Layers of mountains, clear blue skies, vast grasslands and white and flawless clouds,
Mary appears in the shot, from far and near, frozen in place near her. Unable to control herself, she sneaked out of the confined monastery and plunged into the beautiful and harmonious nature, where there was no day-to-day chanting, no tedious rules, only freedom and pleasure. She delivered the loud song to every corner.
Inside the convent, several solemn nuns were discussing Maria's whereabouts and her performances in the convent. At this time, Maria came from outside in a furious manner. After the dean brought Maria to talk to her, he sent her to the Colonel's home to be a tutor for seven children.
When she arrived at the Colonel's house, Maria found that the Colonel was a strict and unsmiling person, he was very strict with his seven children, and Maria was particularly puzzled by his discipline, she thought that whistles were used to call animals, not to call children, she showed her great and benevolent maternal love for the children, when the Colonel's eldest daughter Lisa and the messenger Rauve fell in love privately behind her father's back, Maria did not choose to tell her father, but kept the secret for her. He also asked her to change her clothes to avoid being discovered by her father.
The children were afraid of the thunder running to her room, she sang for them, with the song to drive away the fear in their hearts, but also brought them a deep touch, the long lack of maternal love they felt the motherly care from Maria for the first time, the brilliance of motherhood, is a long-lost ganlin in their dry hearts.
Maria is a different kind of tutor, she cares more about the children's happiness and growth than the children's studies, during the Colonel's departure from home, she led the children through the fields, across the wheat fields, across the stream, to feel the purity of nature, the children's faces, for the first time, there is a heartfelt smile. Through this zero-distance contact with the children, she finally understood why the children had never felt the wind and rain of nature, and gradually understood why they liked pranks so much.
Maria is a devout believer in God, and she also believes in the strength and courage that music brings. In the face of music, there is no strife, no distinction between status and class, no suppression and destruction, only seven delicate and flexible notes, children, is the most innocent group in the world. When music meets children, it's the sound of nature! Where the sound arises, it is born of the human heart, the movement of the human heart, and the things make it so.
When the Colonel returned to find that the children had not done their homework as he had asked, he became angry and quarreled with Maria over the education of the children, and just as he was angrily asking her to leave, he heard the children in the house singing, which was the song that Maria had taught them.
The Colonel's long-sealed heart suddenly opened, and his eyes were full of affection and mourning, and at this moment, he thought of his wife who had died many years ago, of his harshness on his children over the years, of the music that had brought him infinite joy.
The colonel has always had love for children, his love is great and stoic, but the death of his wife has brought him a huge blow, since then, his gaze is no longer loving, his back is gradually becoming cold, he requires the children to live according to their expectations, he avoids letting himself touch the scene, so that there is no music in this family for many years, there is no laughter, he has actually been escaping from reality.
Maria's appearance happened to bring music and joy back to the family. She rekindled hope for life for the Colonel, who walked up to Maria, sincerely apologized to her, and pleaded with her to stay. This scene gives the sound of music a higher level of emotion.
People in war are anxious and panicked inside, they don't know what will happen in the next second, the road ahead is vast, they can't see their future path.
Maria gradually opened her heart to the Colonel and used music as her strength in her struggle against a difficult fate.
They gradually fell in love and eventually came together. But the happiness of real life often can not come smoothly to the hearts of people, the situation in Austria began to become more severe, the German Nazis have entered the country, the Nazis have extended their power to Austria, Berlin sent a telegram to the colonel asking him to go to Germany to serve, the colonel who loves the country better than himself will naturally not agree, in order to protect his wife and children from being hurt by the Nazis, he decided to flee with his family, but they were surrounded by the German army, in a hurry, he proposed a concert request to the German army, and the German army had to agree.
Once again, the Colonel and Maria sang "Snow Lotus", which they were incomparably familiar with, and although surrounded by the Nazis who were staring at the tiger, the Austrians present were all in tears and sang loudly with the Colonel's family.
When I saw this, I saw a great man who loved his family deeply, his wife deeply, and his children deeply, and I saw a brave patriot who preferred to die, and it can be said that Maria brought the sound of music to the Colonel's family, and this family interpreted the soul of music for all Austrians.
In the dark hours, he used his meager strength to fight against this boundless darkness, and he used the power of music to lead and inspire his compatriots in Austria to defend the motherland together, vowing not to bow to the Nazis. The theme of the film has been sublimated here, and the film also ends in this passionate and generous song, and the music, but always reminds countless people who are in darkness and despair, never give up hope, never give up efforts, for their future destiny, for the future destiny of the country, fight, fight, fight!
