The definitive release of “Sound of Music”
Taken from review By Dennis A. Amith (kndy)VIDEO:”The Sound of Music: 45th Anniversary Edition” is presented in 1080p High Definition (Widescreen 2:20:1), AVC@22 MBPS. This is where “The Sound of Music: 45th Anniversary Edition” literally looks amazing. For those who have owned previous versions of the film on DVD, back in 2005, the film went through restoration using a backup negative of the original 70 mm print. At the time, the original 70mm 6-Track print was so damaged, there was no way to even use the original negative at that time and most of us who watched the 40th Anniversary Edition felt that the film looked absolutely beautiful compared to it’s earlier 2000 DVD release.With that being said, technology has changed within the last five years since the release of the 40th Anniversary. The damaged original 70 mm print that couldn’t be used in the restoration of the film in 2005 can now be used for the film with new hardware and software and is now receiving 8K digital scanning by 20th Century Fox for perfect restoration.No longer is the film hazy, no longer is the film more on the pinkish side. “The Sound of Music: 45th Anniversary Edition” is vibrant. The grass…you can see the various grains of grass, the strands in green, yellow and detail of the mountains over looking Salzburg. I was amazed! Another example, Maria splashing the water before she heads to the von Trapps, you can see the water droplets flying in the air, another one is the von Trapp’s uncle and his coat, you can see the wool in his jacket. There is so much detail in this latest version of “The Sound of Music”, it’s incredible! I am literally speechless because I own previous versions of this film on video and never before have I seen this much clarity in the film ever!And I find it quite funny for each review I have done for the film, I mention of how the cinematography of William Reynolds was captured perfectly but watching it on Blu-ray, the cinematography… may it be the shots of Maria on the mountain, Maria with the kids on the mountain, the wedding ceremony, etc., I just feel that the cinematography as seen on the 45th Anniversary Edition via the new restoration really captures the beauty of “The Sound of Music” than ever before. Absolutely breathtaking!Once again, the crew who restored this film…I give your crew a standing ovation…what you were able to accomplish with this film on Blu-ray is absolutely fantastic!AUDIO & SUBTITLES:”The Sound of Music: 45th Anniversary Edition” is presented in English 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, English 4.0 Dolby Surround, Spanish 5.1 Dolby Digital and French 5.1 DTS. Because the film was shot with a 6-track and because they were provided with the audio without the dialogue, for this 2010 edition, they were able to remove all noise but also making sure to utilize a 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track and as mentioned, I’ve owned several versions of this film and I even own the soundtrack to this film.The way this music was handled through the surround channels was amazing. The music and the instruments playing on individual channels was well done. The first thing that came to my mind during sequences of the sisters singing “Maria” to the wedding sequence, the sounds that were utilized through those channels were amazing. Also, they were able to isolate the sound of Salzburg up the hills, the sound of wind, the birds… I was in awe with the lossless soundtrack.I absolutely love the soundtrack for this film and this is the best I have ever heard of it. If you have a 7.1 setup (center speaker, two fronts, two surrounds, two rear surrounds and your subwoofer), you will definitely be impressed with how alive the music comes as it really sounds beautiful via the soundscape in the home. Once again, I was in awe when I heard the music and I’m sure many people will be just as impressed by it.Similar to the video restoration, the audio restoration for this 45th anniversary is fantastic! And the crew responsible for the audio restoration for this release should be proud because they did an outstanding job!Subtitles are in English SDH, French and Spanish subtitles.SPECIAL FEATURES”The Sound of Music: 45th Anniversary Edition” comes with the following special features from the 35th and 40th Anniversary DVD versions of the film but also newer special features that just literally packs this 45th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray release:DISC 1:* Your Favorite Things: An Interactive Celebration – A new way to watch “The Sound of Music”.

“My heart will be blessed with “THE SOUND OF MUSIC” (1965):
Versatile director Robert Wise (“The Set-Up”, “The Day The Earth Stood Still”, “Somebody Up There Likes Me”, “I Want To Live!”, “The Haunting”) had a surprisingly winning way with stage to screen musical adaptations in the 1960’s. “West Side Story” (1961), co-directed by Wise and choreographer Jerome Robbins, was an enormous popular and critical success; winning eleven Academy Awards. “The Sound Of Music” (1965), loosely “inspired by” the saga of the Austrian Trapp Family and the memoirs of the rather formidable Maria Von Trapp, achieved an astonishing, almost incomprehensible success. To this day– nearly 60 years later– it is not so much “watched” as it is “felt” and, above all, “experienced.” Critics are quick to dismiss and deride the film for its “saccharine sentimentality.” But a closer, more thoughtful analysis reveals the film is far more relevant, resonant, bittersweet, and painfully poignant than saccharine. Wise and his creative team masterfully transformed Rodgers and Hammerstein’s final stage musical into a worldwide cinematic phenomenon. Ernest Lehman’s screenplay is a vast improvement on the original stage libretto by Howard Lindsay and Russell Crouse. Wise’s decision to film for several months on location in Austria was particularly genius and inspired. Cinematographer Ted McCord’s beautiful location photography gives more strength and drama to the story and songs. From the opening sequence– as the camera flies over the majestic Austrian Alps and zooms down to reveal Julie Andrews as Maria singing joyously in a mountainside meadow– we are enchanted, and a bit breathless. Maria aspires to be a devout nun, but her impetuous nature drives the nuns at Nonnberg Abbey to distraction. The Mother Abbess (Peggy Wood) sends Maria out for several months to serve as governess to the seven children of widower Captain Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer). Maria is a blessing to the seven neglected children and, initially, an irritant to the Captain himself, who is swiftly off to Vienna to visit his cosmopolitan girlfriend Elsa Schrader (Eleanor Parker) and seemingly gay friend, musical impresario Max Detweiler (Richard Hayden). Maria loves music and nature, and Julie Andrews portrays her as an effervescent force of nature. Also, her teaching the children to sing is a not so subtle act of subversion. “Father doesn’t like us to sing,” the children protest. “Well, perhaps we can change his mind,” Maria replies, with firm determination. Maria and the children then cavort all over Salzburg, as they sing up, down and around the “Do Re Mi” musical scale in a brilliantly edited montage sequence. Christopher Plummer (who for years referred to the film as “The Sound Of Mucus”, until he mellowed out in older age) maintains a sarcastic and snarky demeanor throughout, and has has his best moments in the Captain’s heated exchanges with Hitler devotee Herr Zeller (Ben Wright). “If the Nazis do take over Austria, Herr Zeller,” the Captain says, “I’ve no doubt you will be their entire trumpet section.” “You flatter me, Captain”, Zeller responds. “Oh, how clumsy of me,” Plummer replies with a perfectly snarky hiss, “I meant to accuse you!” When Elsa notices the romantic sparks between Maria and the Captain, she makes a dignified exit. Maria and the Captain are married, and the family finally comes together as Austria falls apart in the dreadful Nazi Anschluss of 1938. Shortly after the Captain rips a Nazi flag from the wall of his Villa, he receives a commission to serve in the naval forces of the Third Reich. “Refusing them would be fatal for all of us,” he says, “and joining them would be unthinkable.” The film received ten Academy Award nominations; winning in five categories; including “Best Picture” (1965), “Best Film Editing”, “Best Director”: Robert Wise, and “Best Musical Scoring”: Irwin Kostal.

No Other Musical Comes Close
What can I say? This movie is probably one of the most widely-known, most-reviewed films ever; even people who’ve never seen it have probably at least heard of it and seen a few clips/screenshots. The plot has been thoroughly-described already, so there is no need for me to rehash it here.The cinematography is simply fantastic, much better than many more recent films, and all with real sets and real people.Simply the best Musical that there has ever been.

A Holocaust Survivor Story — the Best Movie Ever Made!
An overstory of the spectrum of life ranging from evil to light, filled with incredible music, dance, beauty, grace, love, and above all, god. This movie should be mandatory and not missed.

Salzburg, 1938:Maria (Julie Andrews) ist Novizin in Benediktinerinnenabtei Nonnberg und tut sich mit der erforderlichen Disziplin im Kloster schwer.Daher entscheidet die Mutter Oberin (Peggy Wood), Maria als Kindermädchen zu Kapitän Georg von Trapp (Christopher Plummer), einem Witwer mit sieben Kindern zu schicken, damit die junge Frau herausfinden kann, ob ein Leben im Kloster wirklich das richtige für sie ist.Als Marie auf dem Anwesen von Trapp ankommt, ist sie entsetzt. Der Marineoffizier a.D. erzieht seine Kinder mit strikter militärischer Disziplin, Kind sein zu dürfen ist in diesem Konzept nicht vorgesehen. Als Marie Zweifel an dieser Erziehungsmethode äuÃert, reagiert der Kapitän wenig verständnisvoll und auch die Kinder sind nicht begeistert von der neuen Erzieherin.Doch Maria kann mit viel Freundlichkeit und Güte die Kinderherzen erobern und auch von Trapp beginnt langsam aufzutauenâ¦Mit der Geschichte der Familie von Trapp bin ich relativ gut vertraut, weil ich die Autobiagraphie von Maria von Trapp mehrfach gelesen habe.Das Buch stand nämlich im Bücherschrank meiner Eltern, wo ich es als lesehungriger Teenie zu einer Zeit entdeckt habe, in der ich eigentlich nie genug Lesenachschub bekommen konnte und Bücher, die ich gut fand, auch mehrfach gelesen habe.Ich denke die Geschichte von Maria hat mich damals angesprochen, weil sie ihren Platz im Leben noch finden muÃte und vermutlich auch, weil das ja durchaus auch romantisch ist, auch wenn ich mich nicht daran erinnern kann, dass das Buch sonderlich schmalzig war.Danach habe ich dann irgendwann den deutschen Film von 1956 mit Ruth Leuwerik und Hans Holt gesehen, den ich durchaus gelungen fand.Aber auch er trägt jetzt nicht gerade dazu bei, dass man Kapitän von Trapp anschmachten möchte, denn Hans Holt ist zwar symathisch genau wie der Trapp im Buch, aber sexy fand ich die Beiden nun wirklich nicht.Wann genau ich dann âMeine Lieder â meine Täumeâ zum ersten Mal gesehen habe, weià ich ehrlich gesagt nicht mehr, aber ich bin sicher, dass das sehr viel später gewesen sein muss.Wer mich kennt weiÃ, dass ich zu Musicals ja eher eine schwierige Beziehung habe und so ist von dieser ersten Sichtung damals vor allem hängen geblieben, dass in dem Film wirklich viel gesungen wird.Aber auch das Gefühl, dass Julie Andrews gut besetzt war und viel Erstaunen darüber, dass von Trapp plötzlich dieser gut aussehende Herr mit glutvollem Blick ist, der Maria anschmachtet.Damals muss ich übrigens auch die stark gekürzte Version gesehen haben, bei der Bezüge zum Nationalsozialismus bewuÃt weggelassen wurden und die mit der Hochzeit von Maria endet.Und obwohl ich erst jetzt die lange Version gesehen habe, ist sofort dieses bekannte Gefühl da. Ich kenne Maria und ihre Geschichte, auch wenn Judi Andrews hier gleich mal gesanglich loslegt und ich in diesem Moment nicht weiÃ, ob ich wirklich fast drei Stunden durchhalten werde.Ich mag Julie Andrews in dieser Rolle sehr, sie wirkt absolut natürlich und ich habe ihr sowohl ihren Glauben, als auch die Liebe und das Mitgefühl für die Trapp-Kinder abgenommen.AuÃerdem wirkt sie nicht zu kindlich oder unreif, aber doch irgendwie auch unschuldig, was für Maria ja auch sehr wichtig ist.Christopher Plummer ist als Georg von Trapp genauso gut. Er strahlt eine natürliche Autorität aus, schafft es im Verlauf der Handlung aber auch die warme und liebevolle Seite der Figur auf die Leinwand zu bringen. Ich habe ihm jedenfalls ziemlich schnell den Schwachsinn mit der Signalpfeife verziehen.Singen kann er auch (ich hatte den Eindruck, dass er auf meiner DVD selber singt, auch wenn ich irgendwo gelesen habe, dass das synchronisiert worden ist) und dann diese Augen und diese Blicke, die er Maria zuwirft. Das ist echt Mr.-Darcy-Niveau!Die sieben Kinder mochte ich recht gern, auch wenn nicht jedes Kind wirklich individuell erkennbar ist, dafür sind es vermutlich einfach zu viele für einen auch so schon langen Film.Allgemein ist der Cast recht gut zusammengestellt und ausgewählt. Andrews und Plummer tragen zwar die Handlung, aber Kollegen wie Peggy Wood, Richard Haydn als Hausfreund Max und Eleanor Parker als Baronin Schrader (klingt im Film amüsanterweise eher nach âSchröderâ) tragen durchaus zum Gelingen bei.Natürlich wird hier nicht mit Klischees gespart. Dirndl, Strudel und Kuckucksuhren dürfen keinesfalls fehlen, abre so weià man dann wenigstens wo die teilweise etwas merkwürdige Sicht von Nordamerikaner auf Ãsterreich/Deutschland herkommt.Die Lieder mag ich teilweise wirklich gern (vor allem das beim Puppenspiel ist so knuffig), aber ich muss zugeben, dass ich teilweise auch gespult habe. Zuviel Gesang in Filmen ist einfach schwer ertragbar für mich.Insgesamt kann ich jeden verstehen, der den Film als unsagbar kitschig abtut, aber ich mag ihn trotzdem wahnsinnig gern und auch wenn ich keinen Schimmer habe, wann und wieso die DVD in mein DVD-Regal eingezogen ist, habe ich ihn sicher nicht zum letzten Mal gesehen.Dazu sind Julie Andrews und Christopher Plummer einfach zu schön anzuschauen. Und die in Teilen wahre Geschichte hinterläÃt einfach ein so hoffnungsvolles, tröstendes Gefühl, das manchmal einfach nicht schaden kann.Der leider mittlerweile verstorbene Christopher Plummer sah den Film übrigens lange sehr kritisch. Erst viel später machte er seinen Frieden damit, erkannte an, dass der Film mittlerweile wohl zu Recht irgendwie Kult geworden ist und trat sogar mit Julie Andrews, mit der er befreundet war bei den Feierlichkeiten zum 50. Jubiläum auf.
