The Sound of Music


The Sound of Music
(1965) [Trailer]
Director: Robert Wise [IMDB]

The Sound of Music is considered a classic and many say it's one of the greatest musicals of all time. While I had vague memories of watching it as a child, I figured I'd buy the newly restored blu-ray and see if it holds up... that and my wife wanted it.

Synopsis: A nun leaves the church and helps raise the family of an Austrian naval captain.

You may remember my review of Les Mis a few months back and think I hate musicals... that is not the case... I just hated that musical. Truth be told, I'm just not really into that genre, but it doesn't mean I'm not willing to give one a chance. The Sound of Music is a decent film and fairly entertaining. The tunes are all pretty memorable, as was evident when my wife sang along to each of them. It's also a nice romance that throws in a little danger in towards the end.

The transfer to blu-ray looks insane. The hills were alive with more than music... they were alive with 1080p.
