The Sound of Music, one of my favorite movies

The Sound of Music is a great movie from many perspectives. There are just a few movies that you could sit and watch for numerous times without getting bored. Seeing a very good movie over and over again gives the viewer a deeper undersatnding of the characters and the action, noticing soemthing new and different each time the see it.

I was about four years old when i first watched The Sound Of Music with my parents. I remember how much i enjoyed it, asking my mother to play the songs countless times for me. The action and liveliness of the movie were so fascinating that i started singing along and a couple of days after, i found myslef singing the soungs in the house. My parents simled and asked me how much i liked it. My response to their question was that i wanted to watch it again. When i found out that we owned the movie, i watched it fequently.
Now, watching the moive from time to time, I see differnet things in it, soem that i wouldnt have noticed as a child. Since the movie was shot 50 years ago, its quality isnt as good and performant. However, that doenst make it any worst. Had they shot it now, they would have had other techniques, but the movie would have been much different and maybe not as appealing. The movie was made to target any kind of audience at the time, showing a liberal family who wanted to live a happy and joyful love. The main themes in the movie are love, childhood and maturity, along with the acceptance of peple.
I belive that The Sound of Musicis an extraordinary movie, can be liked by a wide audience range, from children to adults and old folks.
