Great

Rating: 8/10 (1 September 2007)

A short review of The Sound of the Music. The good and then the bad. Here are the good ones: 1) Julie Andrews is bumbly, sweet and lovable. Here acting is par excellence. Her comic timings are great.
2) The supporting actress too has done a great job. Her emotions are juggled well.
3) The music: Too good. Even Opera music is delightful to hear. I adored the title song ' The sound of the Music'. Even other songs were great. Some were slow but the combination of fast paced happy and slow songs didn't lower the movie's spirits.
4) No vulgarity. Even the kissing scenes were marred in the dark.
5) The movie is lovable and heart warming. Can be seen many times.
6) One of the few classics that doesn't have the actor and the actress talking about love and crying all the time.
The bad, though there are only two points: 1) The main actor wasn't really good. He looked comical rather than stern and he seemed a bit fake in acting.
2) Though the movie was great, I wish that it was a bit shorter. Even cutting about ten to fifteen minutes would have improved it greatly.
Whatever cons might be, it still is a great movie to watch.
