"These are a few of my favorite things"

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2020)

The Sound Of Music is one of my favorite things. You would have to be a cold-hearted cynic to dislike a movie as joyful as this. This movie is a cornerstone of my childhood and I love it even more now. What I especially love is how the cinematography takes advantage of the place the film is set in: the glorious Austrian Alps. And who could possibly forget the iconic opening scene? How the camera swoops all across the mountains and towns and lakes and fields and finally closes in on Julie Andrews circling around with her arms open. Also, the Blu-ray release is one of the best Blu-rays I've purchased.
