The Sound of Music

It's been a while since I've wanted to watch a movie again right after finishing it. Some songs are sung multiple times but in different contexts, adding depth and memorability to already catchy melodies. In many musicals, the way the characters sing-talk sounds unnatural, but that is never the case here. They also take time to flesh out every one of the characters, giving the audience a sort of personal connection with the Trapp family. By the end of the story, you feel like you've lived a whole life with them. Whenever there's romance, it is never plastic. Definitely take some time to sit down and enjoy this masterpiece.
