Why The Film ‘The Sound of Music’ Is Completely Unrealistic
April 4th, 2007
If you haven’t seen the movie The Sound of Music you may now go to lunch.
If you have, then you’re more than aware that people often call it one of the most “significant movie musicals ever.” Based on a successful book turned Broadway production by Rodgers and Hammerstein, the musical tells the story of the von Trapp family — run by a widowed WWI captain without a wife, he hires a woman (Maria) to take care of his mischievous children and everyone sings, falls in love and generally lives happily ever after. The film version, starring Julie Andrews, was also wildly successful despite one very significant issue…
…that the film The Sound of Music is completely unrealistic.
