Ep 67 - The Sound Of Music (1965)

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Maria infiltrates the von Trapp family, while the Nazis infiltrate Austria, both with the end goal of making Baron von Trapp theirs. Find out who will win. The man himself in this battle of brute force versus the Sound of Music. [00:00:21] Speaker B: Completely overrated. [00:00:23] Speaker C: Hello, everybody, and welcome back to R Rating. The show where I get together with two of my friends, we take a movie franchise, break it down by a movie, give it overall score and throw it up on the board. But. But once a month, we are giving it the Patreon pick, where Patreon gets decided what movie you want to do and they can choose anything they want. And this month, they chose the Sound of Music. I'm joined, as always, by Brian and Will. Brian, how are you doing this week? [00:00:43] Speaker B: I'm doing great. Dan, how are you? [00:00:45] Speaker C: I'm doing excellent. How are you doing, Will? [00:00:47] Speaker A: Hey. The holidays are going strong. [00:00:50] Speaker C: Yes. This is being recorded on January 1, 2026. Happy New Year's to you guys as well as the audience out there. Do you guys have a pretty decent holiday? Christmas, New Year's, everything. [00:01:01] Speaker A: No complaints. [00:01:03] Speaker B: Yeah, it's good. [00:01:04] Speaker C: Cool. [00:01:05] Speaker A: Excellent. [00:01:06] Speaker C: It's a podcast. It's an audio thing. [00:01:08] Speaker B: Sorry, I'm not in my head over here. That's right. Still get used to that. [00:01:13] Speaker C: Appreciate it. All right, for this one, we were joined by a couple of our Patreons for the watch party, which you do on these Sundays before the Patreon picks. And one of them was actually getting right into this movie, so we decided to allow her to join us. She's a fellow streamer, a fellow Canadian, and a fellow friend. Ms. Hillary. How are you doing? Sorry, it's a little long for your camera to kick in than normal. [00:01:32] Speaker D: That's okay. That's okay. I'm fantastic. Thank you so much for asking. Thank you so much, guys, for having me here with you guys. I'm excited. [00:01:40] Speaker A: Our pleasure. Our pleasure. [00:01:42] Speaker C: Now, we've known you for quite some time. This is your first time actually joining us on our rating. You are the third guest we've ever had, I want to say. We had Amy Baba Hotep and Naomi Celery. [00:01:51] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we're part of an elite club. We don't let anybody join us. We would, but we. [00:01:57] Speaker C: We might. [00:01:59] Speaker B: We keep trying. [00:02:00] Speaker C: They keep saying no. [00:02:05] Speaker A: But we know that you love musicals, so we thought you'd be a great guest for this episode. Yeah. [00:02:11] Speaker C: You did mention they feel like this is something you watch fairly regularly at the holidays. Is that correct? [00:02:17] Speaker D: Haven't for quite a few years, but growing up. Yes, yes. Actually, it's funny. Christmas morning, I actually was talking about everything I. About all of this with my grandma on the phone. We're talking reminiscing. So this is a very sentimental movie for me. And my grandma grew up in England during World War II, so it's very close and near and dear to her heart. So, yeah, very sentimental. So very nice. Very happy to be a part of it. [00:02:47] Speaker C: This. [00:02:48] Speaker B: How many times do you think you've seen this movie? [00:02:50] Speaker D: Enough that I know it word for word. [00:02:52] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [00:02:53] Speaker D: All right. Or darn enough. [00:02:56] Speaker B: Well, now, here's the thing. This was my first time seeing this movie, but all of the songs I somehow knew word for word because the music in this film is just so iconic. Yeah. [00:03:08] Speaker C: Yeah. That was interesting because you joined us because of a scheduling snafu, and it's my fault. I do apologize. You joined us about an hour into the play, and then you went back to finish it. So you see all this for the first time out of order, correct? [00:03:21] Speaker B: Yeah, a little bit out of order. Didn't really matter. I mean. [00:03:24] Speaker C: I mean, story and whatnot. [00:03:27] Speaker B: I came in, Will dropped all the major plot points in about half a sentence, and I was, like, right up to speed. Like, yeah, okay, I got this. [00:03:33] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. Will, have you seen this one before? I'm assuming you have, but, like, a bunch. [00:03:38] Speaker A: Yeah, I've seen it only a handful of times. My wife's a big fan of this movie, this play, this production, whatever you want to call it. Nice. And, yeah, I. I've enjoyed it off and on throughout the years. [00:03:51] Speaker C: Yeah, okay. This was my dad's favorite movie growing up, and I had always heard the story, like, back in 1965 when this came out, people, A lot of people had. Well, nobody had VCRs, but so many people didn't have watch ways to watch movies at home. So, like, his dream as a kid was to grow up and get enough money to, like, own a theater so that he could watch this movie when he wanted to. Obviously, nowadays that's silly because you can have DVD players, it's on streaming services, whatever. But, like, I remember hearing that story growing up as a child, and I was always kind of like, that's good. Like, I don't know. I wouldn't buy a theater for it, but it's fine. Just one of those fun little stories I figured I would share. So I've seen this one quite a bit, and I've seen, I think, a stage play once as well. But I think it speaks volumes to how well this movie is made. That it was done in 1965 and I have never even heard of them, like wanting to redo it, wanting to remake it, wanting to do a updated version. Like don't put that out there. [00:04:47] Speaker B: Don't put that out there. [00:04:47] Speaker C: Julie Andrews and, and Christopher Plummer kind of just nail this one. And I, I don't think there needs to be a remaked one. Right. [00:04:56] Speaker B: Like, I think some classics just shouldn't be touched up. [00:04:59] Speaker A: Right. [00:04:59] Speaker B: Some, some, some classics are timeless. I can tell that this is a timeless movie. And I would like to say that though I'm not a big fan of musicals, had I seen this movie growing up, had this been like one of my first introductions to musicals, I would probably have a greater appreciation for the genre. [00:05:18] Speaker C: Sorry, my restream seems to be going a little bit slower than normal. So it's kind of like lingering longer than it means to. [00:05:22] Speaker B: I also didn't run on as long as I normally do. [00:05:25] Speaker A: That was a fact. [00:05:26] Speaker C: I wasn't gonna say nothing but sure. [00:05:29] Speaker A: So Brian's a self proclaimed musical methist. What about you, Dan? Your dad, obviously one of his favorite movies was a musical. So does that mean you grew up in a musical watching Household? [00:05:42] Speaker C: So 10 minutes ago, an hour ago, I would have told you I'm not a big fan of musicals. Right. Like I can't think of too many. There's a couple that are close. I really like Hamilton, but there's a bunch where I'm just like, I don't really care. And then when I was making that game that we just played and I was going through like the top 25 musicals, I was like, I love this one, I love this one, I love this one. Like, oh, maybe I'm like a weird closet theater nerd. Like maybe I didn't even realize how much of this genre I actually enjoy. [00:06:07] Speaker A: Right. [00:06:07] Speaker C: Funnily enough, this afternoon, which my parents, I was to watch a movie called Far from no Come From Away. [00:06:15] Speaker A: Yes. [00:06:16] Speaker C: Which if you're not aware of it, that is the story of 9 11, when all the planes got diverted. They all landed in a tiny little. Well, not a tiny little, but like an airport in a tiny little town called Gander in Newfoundland. And they made a stage play about that. Now I thought I was going to watch a movie. It turns out that I was watching like a film recorded, recorded stage play that was also a musical and it blew me away. It was so incredibly well done. It's on Apple tv, I want to say. And if you get a chance, you got an hour and A half to kill. It is. It's really, really good. Had me fairly emotional. But then also that's pretty easy to do this time of year. So I guess I am more of a musical fan than I thought I was. But I wouldn't think this is a genre that I gravitate to. [00:06:58] Speaker A: But you don't, you don't seek it out. You don't seek it out, but you do enjoy a good musical. That's fair. Nice. [00:07:03] Speaker C: Yeah. What about you, Ms. Hillary? Is this a one off or you a big musical fan also? [00:07:09] Speaker D: Kind of grew up as a drama nerd, so definitely a musical fan. I've seen a couple of them live on stage. Like I've seen Phantom of the opera twice, about 15 years apart, both times with my grandma. I've seen Cats twice. I've seen a couple other ones as well. And then of course smaller productions. Love promoting high school drama productions is a big thing. So Broadway. I've been to a Broadway show in New York City and that was probably one of the most life fulfilling moments. Loved it. [00:07:54] Speaker C: So awesome. [00:07:56] Speaker D: Yeah. Big musical fan. [00:07:58] Speaker C: Yeah. I don't get up to the theater that much anymore. I did have tickets to go see Hamilton. Not on Broadway, that would have been totally different. But in, in Toronto which is much closer and then covet hit so they never really rescheduled. We never really got a chance to go do it. So that was unfortunately. Anyways, we're talking about Sound of Music. So what did you guys think of this movie? Will, I'm going to start with you and put you kind of on the hot speed. [00:08:19] Speaker A: All right. [00:08:20] Speaker C: Did you enjoy the viewing with the Watch Party or was it kind of like I've seen this, been here, done that? [00:08:25] Speaker A: No, you know, I always enjoy the Watch Party because it brings a different element. You know, we can chat to each other, crack some jokes, keeps it lively. And there's people on this one who were dancing on camera and, and singing along. We haven't muted so we can't hear how good or bad they are, but they looked like they were really belting it out. So the Watch Party really brings a little bit of fun to the whole thing and I, I really appreciate any movie we've seen on the watch parties and I'm always looking forward to those. But as a whole, I, I enjoy this movie. I wouldn't, you know, it's not go to for me by any means. I, I wouldn't say any musical is a go to for me. It's again, kind of more like you, Dan. Where it's like I don't seek them out, but I don't mind a good musical once in a while, but they're few and far between. [00:09:14] Speaker C: Okay. I was watching this one with my family in my parents basement. Normally for the watch parties, I sit here at my. My main rig. And I was kicking myself because there was one point where both Brian and Hillary were kind of like singing and dancing and getting right into him. Like, what I wouldn't do for like a screen capture moment right now, like, the two of you just dancing around. So, yeah, it was really cool getting to see people kind of interact and get into it. What about you, Brian? This is your first time watching it? [00:09:39] Speaker B: Did the. [00:09:39] Speaker C: The Watch Party help? Was this something you were into or. [00:09:44] Speaker B: So the Watch Party always helps any movie to be more fun. Anytime you get to do a thing with friends, it improves it. Right. That's just the best part of anything, is the social interactions. The Watch party is great, but this movie surprised me in how much I had fun with this movie. Not just dancing and singing, because I was like, whoa, I know that song. Oh, I know that song. Oh, I know that. I know all the songs, you know, and so we got to sing along and have fun. And Hillary was dancing with me, so it was really enjoyable. But not only does the music sound good and. And I enjoy that. So when there's a good music to a musical, I can enjoy it. But I kind of enjoyed the other parts of this movie. The story, the plot, the narrative, the. The dialogue between characters. There was a lot that I was, like, kind of blown away with. Like, even though it's not my normal shtick, I was just really into it. And. And it wasn't just the ambiance of being in that watch party. It was this movie was. There's a reason it's so popular. [00:10:49] Speaker C: Yeah. Sorry, I'm not gonna. I'm gonna throw you on the bus just a tiny bit. Or maybe that's the wrong terminology. I'm just gonna put you on the spot. I'm put you on the spot for a second. Are you aware this is a true story? [00:11:00] Speaker B: I was not until like half. Yeah, half an hour ago. [00:11:05] Speaker C: Okay. [00:11:05] Speaker B: Somebody in chat told us that I. I had no idea. So now. [00:11:09] Speaker D: I mean, [00:11:13] Speaker C: any Hollywood story is. [00:11:14] Speaker A: Yeah. Based on a true story. [00:11:16] Speaker B: I'm kind of curious how. How true it is because there was a moment in this movie where they hear the Sound of music and it changes everything. And the movie pivots and hearts melt and people are switching, you know, teams or Whatever you want to call it, getting back together. And it dawned on me. [00:11:39] Speaker C: I even wrote it. [00:11:39] Speaker B: Chat. I was like, oh, the Sound of Music is fixed the problem. [00:11:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:45] Speaker B: So I don't know how true the music really was in the real life story or if it was just a baseline to add music to, but it was. [00:11:55] Speaker C: My understanding is that Maria does, in fact, become a governess for the von Trapp family. They do, in fact, fall in love. They do have kids. They do escape Nazi occupied Austria by going over the mountains and make it to, I want to say, America. You're shaking your head. No. [00:12:12] Speaker A: They take a train to Italy, but, yeah, close. [00:12:13] Speaker C: Okay. But they actually are a musical family. They do become like the singing Von Tromp traps or. Or something and put on a show. I don't know if they had anything to do with, you know, the music in this per se, or if any of this music is. [00:12:27] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't know about any of this music. But, yeah, they be. They did become a famous singing group prior to Nazis kind of taking over and all of that. And so they escaped well before anything got too dangerous. But yeah, in. In the movie, they got married and everything. Well, before they became famous singers and all of that, so. [00:12:52] Speaker B: And. [00:12:53] Speaker A: And Maria was very different. She's pretty much known as very cold and strict, like the opposite of her, but very musically inclined. That's. That's definitely the whole family. Was that so. Yeah. There's some pieces and parts that obviously are embellished to make it a little more likable, but it's a fun story nonetheless. [00:13:13] Speaker B: I. I never quite understood why did The Germans want Mr. Von Trapp. [00:13:18] Speaker A: He was like a. A great naval officer, commander or something. [00:13:22] Speaker C: Yeah, he was. He was Captain Von Trapp. And he was legit. [00:13:25] Speaker A: Yeah, they wanted him to, like, lead their naval. Like a naval. [00:13:29] Speaker B: Okay, I. I guess. I guess I got that. I was just like, really? You can't just take the runner up? Like, is. [00:13:35] Speaker A: Yeah. No. Yeah. They want the best. [00:13:37] Speaker B: Okay. So he's really good at his job, I guess. I don't know. [00:13:40] Speaker A: Okay. [00:13:40] Speaker B: I thought maybe he had, like, the secret to cold fusion or something. I guess I'm just used to today's movie plots. They were a little more subtle back then. [00:13:50] Speaker C: I think it's more of a. If you're not with us, you're against us. And we'd rather have a good naval captain on our side than on the British side. Right. So either work for us or don't, like, die. You know what I mean? [00:14:01] Speaker D: Like. [00:14:01] Speaker C: Yeah, but how Was your viewing experience on this one, Hillary? This is. You've probably seen this one the most. [00:14:07] Speaker D: It sounds like it was fantastic. I think the most exciting part, truthfully was watching Brian get really into it because we were talking earlier and he was like very hesitant on the film. And you know, he was like, oh, I don't like long movies. I don't like musicals. And for him and I to be on camera and having fun, dancing and singing along, muted like it was. It was great. Always a blast sitting and watching movies with you guys. [00:14:42] Speaker C: Nice. One of my favorite parts of this movie during the watch party specifically was there's a scene where Maria goes back to the cot, the. The nunnery or whatever that room is called, and he's talking to one of the higher up nuns and is like, what should I do? And then I'm just starts singing at her. But like the camera is over the nun's shoulder. So you're just seeing Maria get sung at. And Brian is like, this is so awkward. [00:15:05] Speaker B: It was so awkward. I melted out laughing so hard. When that happened, I was like, could you imagine just a one on one with a nun, like the high level ranking nun, and she just opens up on you with song like that would be so weird. And it was like totally normal. And then like it happened a couple of times in the story and I was just like, this is just. They don't ease into it either. They just kind of raw dog the music. [00:15:34] Speaker C: It was the next scene or not the next scene, but there was later on, like after you mentioning that and kind of kind of laughing at it. There was another scene later on where like Captain von Trapp and Maria are like expressing their love to each other. And I can't remember which one it is. I think he says, I love you and. And she just starts singing and they're like right up next to each other. He is just belting out into his ear. And I just see Brian just fall off his chair laughing. I just started laughing to myself. My family again. I'm watching this like eight other people. They're like, you okay? I'm just like, I can't right now. I'm sorry. [00:16:05] Speaker A: It's very much the. The musical genre. You know, they just break into song. That's just something you have to accept that convention. Although I felt in this one because it's about Maria teaching, teaching music and being living music really. And even the Von Trapp family loving music. This movie integrated those musical parts more as part of the story than just those like, oh, now we're in a musical, you know, except for, you know, a couple of spots where we obviously laughed out loud when they broke out. But I. I felt they had eased into it a little bit more because it was a musical based or singing based story. Right. [00:16:49] Speaker C: Yeah. I have to say I have had, like, we watched this, what, last. Last Sunday. So like five days ago, I have had this soundtrack in my head. Like, it, like it is just filled with earworms this entire time. I have to ask, while we're doing this, Will, what is your favorite song in this? Putting you all on the spot. You're all next. Just be ready. [00:17:07] Speaker A: Yeah, Yeah. I mean, I think, I think I like the Hills Are Alive with the Sound of Music. Just because, you know, it's the outdoors, it's nature. I connect with that a lot. And, and it's beautifully filmed. Like she's out in the hills in Austria. It's gorgeous. So I think that one's probably my go to. Not that I sing a lot because I can't carry a tune in a bucket, but it's quite. It's quite a good song. [00:17:31] Speaker B: What about you, Brian Doe? A deer. A female deer. Yeah, just. That's like one of the songs I came in on. And I was, I was very happy to hear that one. I used to be in a choir back in high school. It was. We called it swing choir, but it was. It was like Glee Club. Like, like from Glee. Not quite that talented, but, you know, we were trying. And so, you know, we did all kinds of. Like, we did a bunch of these songs and, and stuff. So it was like coming into that, I was just like, oh, hey, this is cool. And yeah, that would. That's been. In fact, that song has been stuck in my head since we saw this movie. [00:18:08] Speaker C: Nice. What about you, Hillary? [00:18:10] Speaker D: I'm a devil's fan. So long farewell. That's my all time favorite. [00:18:16] Speaker C: Nice. I have not been able to get how do you solve a problem like Maria out of my head four days and I just keep changing the lyrics. So it's like, how do you solve a problem like my pupper? When I'm talking with a dog, I solve a problem like. And I name my daughters. Like, it just will not leave my brain. And I don't see going anywhere anytime soon. Like, as I said, like this, this is just filled with earworms. Even the songs I don't like as much. Like, there's no song that I really. [00:18:42] Speaker A: Right. [00:18:43] Speaker C: And there's so many good ones in this. I think there's maybe like one or two songs where, like, as the movie was playing, I was like, I can't sing along to this one. Like, the. The. [00:18:50] Speaker D: The. [00:18:51] Speaker C: The nun singing to Maria was one where, like, that song doesn't resonate with me whatsoever. But, like, all the big classic ones, even. Oh, shoot, the one he sings about is country. That's about a flower. Edelweiss, even. Edelweiss. Like, it's slower, it's more passionate, but it just. It just gets in your head, like. [00:19:08] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:19:10] Speaker B: And you know what? They could probably cut down on the runtime of this movie if they didn't play every song twice. I noticed, like, they sang, like, every song twice. Like a slow rendition at the end or a faster rendition in the beginning. And they went down the list, it seemed like, to me, because I kept hearing different. You know, they do, like, a medley of some songs, sort of. So little bit of repeats in there, but it didn't really matter because they fit the point of the movie. And I think that's one reason this movie's so good, is that the songs are really good and they're used to portray emotion and move the story ahead. Whereas in some of today's musicals, especially, like the animated CGI musical kind of stuff, you know, like a K pop Demon Hunters or something, they just have these musical ensembles that are just interesting and sound cool. This one really, like, progresses the story a bit in. In the. In the music that they're using. At least some of them. Some of them are just kids having a good time. But that's also showcasing her teaching the kids how to have a good time with music. So it's. It's important. Even though it's not, like, progressing the story so much, it's still important there. [00:20:18] Speaker C: So at the point where you came in. I don't remember. You said you came in at that song. Before that happened, the kids were saying they don't listen to music. They don't have music in their house. They don't know anything about music. So even that song, she is teaching them music, like, they're learning the musical notes. They're learning how to sing in harmony. They are getting better. And that does progress to them, like singing in the competition, which is how they get away from the Nazis when they're at their house and stuff like that. [00:20:42] Speaker B: So also unites their family when the father hears the music. [00:20:47] Speaker D: So, yeah, I was gonna say even just the connection between the children and Maria, that. Yeah. The whole movie really, as in essence relays on. Relies. Sorry. On that relationship because if it wasn't connected, then they wouldn't, you know, Captain wouldn't look at Maria the same way because Maria doesn't have that motherly figure. So. [00:21:12] Speaker C: But you're absolutely right, Brian. Like, with musicals, the good musicals, at least the songs should be there to progress the plot and to kind of be what, like, the actors are thinking or doing or progressing without actually having to say what they are, are doing. Right. [00:21:26] Speaker B: Like, Westside Story would be a great one. It does this very well with all of its songs throughout the story. It is progressing the story through music. This one had lots of. Lots of downtime where there wasn't any music. And we had some dialogue which to step away from the music for a second. I really did enjoy the dialogue, especially between Maria and the Captain. Her wit and charm and the rapid fire way she throws out lines, much like an episode like Gilmore Girls. I don't know if you've ever watched that show that. That has a script as thick as a phone book each episode because they pack so much dialogue into it and they talk rapid fire. And I enjoyed her kind of cheeky little quips that she threw back at him without any hesitation. I thought their flow of dialogue was fantastic and their banter really, really good. Even though I didn't necessarily like the Captain's character, he was a bit dry, intentionally so in the beginning, but still kind of dry toward the end. I just really liked the way they talked in between the music. [00:22:25] Speaker C: I did the stupid thing of getting Christopher Plummer and Christopher Lee confused. So for the first half an hour of the movie, I am looking at the Captain trying to figure out how this guy turns into Saruman down the road and Dracula. And I'm like, I just don't see it. Like, I don't know, maybe it's. Maybe he aged really weirdly and then, like, it clued in. I think Will told me, like, halfway through, it's like, I don't think you're thinking about the right guy there, dude. I'm like, yeah, you're absolutely right. I'm like, yeah, I can't believe this guy was in a metal band. He's like, he. He absolutely was not. [00:22:51] Speaker B: I'm like, well, speaking. Speaking of his look, I asked you guys, I was like, was this, like, remastered or done in Technicolor or something? Because he's looking a bit orange. Everybody has, like, really heavy, colorful skin tones and everything. And you guys were like, that's a little overdone. Stage makeup is. Is what you guys were saying. And I agree I think that as far as the look of this film, it's very colorful and vibrant when it's supposed to be. It's very dark and dreary when it's supposed to be. But the characters individually, I just feel like they use too much stage makeup on them and, and it, and with the vibrant color scheme that they used, it, it made them look overdone, a little burnt almost. And it was distracting to, to a degree I've seen a lot worse. But that was one, one thing that I didn't think this movie did very well. And to move on to another point that they didn't do very well. I also had some issues with the cinematography choices. They were choices, they just weren't my choices. Some different angles zooming out, some transitions from scene to scene that were jarring. A lot of times when you transition, you want the viewer's eyes to be at this point on the screen. And when you transition, the point of interest is in that same spot on the screen. Instead of making you move over here and they, they would do these hard transitions where you're looking to this side of the screen and it moves to the next scene and now your eyeball has to move over here. And it was just a little weird. Maybe that's a technique that's been more developed since this movie came out. Or maybe they intentionally did that to jar you from scenes of like loving family members to crazy Nazis. I'm not sure. But I didn't like that. So the look of this film had some issues for me. [00:24:35] Speaker C: That's interesting. I definitely did not pick up on that. I'm kind of curious to go back and see a scene that you're, you're thinking of because I, I, I, I can't, because I can't picture it. I can't like argue against it. Right. Like, I like. Oh, they do that on purpose because of this. Like I, I just didn't. [00:24:47] Speaker B: But you probably noticed some of the long pan out scenes where they start in close and they pan out so this like way off on the hill. We had some aerial shots that just make drone shots look like crap. That was, that was good. I liked that. These aerial, I don't know how they did those, like with a hot air balloon or something. Like it was nuts. They looked really good. [00:25:05] Speaker A: It could be cranes or things like that. For sure. That's what I said too. Like the movie is beautiful. Pick picturesque because they did film in Austria, all around some famous places and, and they do some nice wide angles to get some really Nice landscapes in there, which is. [00:25:22] Speaker B: It's. [00:25:22] Speaker A: It's good to see. You don't see that in a lot of movies anymore. It's all green screen make believe. Avatar sucks. I'm just joking. Obviously we all love Avatar. [00:25:41] Speaker B: Don't unfollow [00:25:44] Speaker A: that. [00:25:45] Speaker C: Might get us more followers. You know, Avatar is at like a billion dollars already. It's doing just fine. It does not need us in our audience. [00:25:53] Speaker A: No, that's true. [00:25:54] Speaker B: Yes. [00:25:54] Speaker A: So. [00:25:55] Speaker B: So there were, There were some great shots. I really like the wide angles. I like the scenery. Oh my God, the sets were so amazing. You guys probably didn't notice this, but they had a lot of sets that they. They made the color of the set to match Maria's clothing. Like she came in in light greens and so I guess so did the captain at some point. They had matching costumes that you didn't really notice they were matching, but it blended really well. And the scenes behind them had lots of shades of like green or olive in it and they blended it really well. So the set designs, the wide angle shots were great. I just had trouble with scene transitions and some of the angles from the camera were just weird angles that you just don't see anymore. And maybe it's just. I'm not used to it, but they were kind of aggressive little angles and shots and transitions. [00:26:38] Speaker D: Well, I think part of it too is that it was also filmed in the mid-60s. Right. Like comparatively to the film that we see now. Like you said earlier, techniques have changed. They've been developed, they've been explored on how to make things little smoother, like technology, editing software. All of that has changed too. [00:27:02] Speaker A: Right, right. [00:27:03] Speaker B: That's. That sometimes becomes a problem though. I think Will agrees with me on this. When directors and production leans too heavily on science and technology to shore up the shortcomings of bad choices or try to save some money or something by doing it in a way that is fake, you know. And I like it when they show that they got the chops to pull off an aerial scene like this does without using a drone or a green screen and make it look so amazing. [00:27:34] Speaker C: Yeah, that's one of my favorite things about going back and watching old movies is like anything made, say 95 and newer, if they do anything cool on it, my brain just goes like, ah, it's probably cgi. Whereas like if you go back far enough, you can watch something like we watched Ben Hur like three, four years ago, my wife and I, and there's so many scenes in that longer. How did they film this back when they filmed this, like it doesn't. My brain is like trying to figure out the magical trick which is way more entertaining than just going like oh yeah, green screen. Oh yeah, this is the whatever that thing they use at Disney all the time. [00:28:06] Speaker A: Now there's also somebody to be said because Mrs. Hillier mentioned it, this was made in the mid-60s and filming really changed. Like pacing wise of filming really changed when the first Star wars movie came out. And so everything kind of pre Star wars had a, had a slower pace to it. You know, they did linger on shots longer. And I think it kind of goes with the genre of musicals as well. You kind of linger on different beats and things a little, a little bit more for different emphasis in these movies which is I think kind of plays into the length of this. You know, Brian also mentioned, you know, them redoing some of the songs and different melodies and, and mixing. And that's just a, that's just a musical thing. Right? It happens all the time. So you know, this is three hours long. It is a long movie. But I do think the pacing is good enough and the story is strong enough and the music catchy enough to, to hold you through it. [00:29:03] Speaker D: Well, and I was just thinking on top of that too is the movies during the the 60s, you, you went for a. It was a big deal to go to the movies. So they want. You wanted that length, you wanted that time because it was so such a big, big. [00:29:25] Speaker A: Yeah, it was a big outing. Right? Like you're going, yeah, like look at [00:29:28] Speaker D: Gone with the Wind for example. Like that's two tape VCR movie. Like a beautiful, beautiful movie scenery, incredible story, classic. But same with the Sound of Music. Like I think yes, there are scenes that could be cut, but it just, it's such a classic and carries through the time. Said it's almost each moment I think plays a part in making the movie as a whole. [00:29:58] Speaker B: I gotta ask, what do you guys think of the kids acting ability in this movie? We had a range of ages. We had a real little one. She was super cute. [00:30:09] Speaker A: Gretel. [00:30:10] Speaker B: Yeah. Terrible delivering her lines, but super cute. So I think that's what they were just going for is hey, let's make it cute. I mean this was the little girl at the elementary school play that comes out there and everybody in the crowd goes aww. And she, you know, shouts out her line and then walks back off stage. Like that's the level of acting we had with her. But it was forgivable because she was so adorable and you know, she had a pretty good voice on her when she sung her little tunes, and so it's fine. The rest of the kids were passable. They're fine. I thought the older kids were pretty good. The oldest daughter, I thought, did a great job in this, and so I didn't have any trouble with that. And like I said, with the adults, I really enjoyed their dialogue and conversation and stuff. I did think the father was a bit dry throughout the whole film, but that was kind of part of his character, at least in the beginning it was supposed to be. So, yeah, so I thought acting was pretty solid myself. What do you guys think of that? [00:31:10] Speaker C: I got curious and looked it up halfway through, and it turns out the oldest daughter is actually older than Rolf, the. The German soldier that she's in love with. So when they're singing and he's just like, well, I'm 17, 18. You're gonna have to have somebody taking care of you. I'm like, she's. She's older than you, dude. Like, calm down. It doesn't have anything to do with their acting ability. I thought. I thought she did pretty well. I agree the youngest daughter was maybe the weakest link, but even then, I think she did a pretty decent job for the script, like, because the role is to sing and she had a good singing voice. I think that makes up for the fact that the acting was less than. And even to some extent, because she's the kid, like, she would be the one that would be the most out of line if they were trying to do like a, you know, a straight line or trying to sing along. Cue, like, even in reality would kind of make sense that she'd be the one that'd just be a little bit off. But I thought she did a pretty good job as far as the songs [00:31:58] Speaker D: and all that go. [00:31:59] Speaker C: But, yeah, what do you. [00:32:00] Speaker D: Will. [00:32:01] Speaker A: I. I agree they think they did fine. And I. I do believe they probably cast for voices and physical dancing, like, some choreography. So I think acting was probably the third thing they looked at because most of what the kids are there for is the singing and some dancing with the. The end or so long songs. Right. So I. I didn't mind it. And yeah, the. The youngest one was super cute. Like, say what you will, where her actions over the top. Yeah, but little kids can be over the top. And she was just super adorable, and she'd give those weird faces and you could just laugh at it. [00:32:37] Speaker D: I also think that there may have been the intention not to upstage Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews, because they are very well known and very popular, especially at that time. So. So it would be. They wouldn't want actors to upstage them and take away from them. But I think they did a fantastic job sitting, you know, standing next to Christopher Plummer and Julia Andrews. [00:33:12] Speaker C: Yeah, that's a good point. I think Marta, the oldest daughter, is the only one that would have a chance of upstaging Julia Andrews. And even then, I don't think I. I think it's. [00:33:21] Speaker B: I thought they blended it real well, you know. [00:33:24] Speaker D: Liesel, is it? [00:33:26] Speaker C: Liesl. Oh, sorry. Maybe I had the wrong name. Yeah, yeah, you're right. Liesl is the oldest. My apologies. [00:33:31] Speaker D: It's okay. [00:33:32] Speaker A: Don't worry. Mrs. Hillary knows. [00:33:35] Speaker C: That's why we have her here. [00:33:36] Speaker A: That's why we have her here. Yeah. Now, we were talking about the actors. We've. We've obviously touched on Christopher Plummer. Clean's Canadian Alert. We all know. [00:33:46] Speaker C: I knew it was coming. [00:33:47] Speaker A: Plumber is a fantastic Canadian actor. Passed away here somewhat recently. But we do appreciate seeing Canadians on screen, even as far back as the 65 pictures that said originally they dubbed his voice when he was singing with somebody else's voice for the original because they didn't know if his voice would carry well enough. So they got, like, a professional singer to dub over. And then they. They fixed it retroactively, I think, after it was out of theaters and whatnot. But they did put his voice back in for the. For the movie in the end, which is nice. Oh, he also. He also messed up one of the lines. I don't know if you guys noticed or remember in. [00:34:35] Speaker C: He calls her captain. [00:34:36] Speaker A: He calls her captain, which is line flub. But the director loved it and how they each reacted to the line. [00:34:43] Speaker B: Because he looked flustered by it. Yeah, she had him flustered. [00:34:46] Speaker A: Got him flustered. [00:34:47] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:34:47] Speaker A: And he's actually spoke on, like, in real life, how much he did not like working on this movie and how much it was to work with Julia because, you know, she's such a ball of energy throughout the movie and I think in real life. But they are very close friends and remain closest friends after the movie. But he just said he didn't really enjoy working on the movie at all because it was just too much for him. So I thought that was really funny. [00:35:17] Speaker B: So I'm having an issue debate. I'm kind of got this internal battle in my head. There's basically two plot lines in this film. There's the Marie and the captain getting together, the romance. Right. And will they or won't they? I'm. Obviously, they're. They're going to. We know how it's going to go. But, you know, there's that plot line of her being introduced into the family, and then there's the plot line of the. The Germans and the greater picture of what's going on in their world and the dangers and them trying to, you know, kind of kidnap him for the war effort. What did you guys think of these two plot lines going simultaneously? Do you think that the director wove them together? Well, do you think that they were fully fleshed out? Like, what do you think of that? Because I'm having trouble reconciling my thoughts on this one. [00:36:10] Speaker C: Hillary, do I go to you first? [00:36:12] Speaker D: Yeah, I think. I think there was such a heavy focus on the relationship for majority of the movie, and then they kind of brought the Nazi aspect in later in the movie. I think it could have been integrated throughout the movie a little bit more early on, but I. It was only a couple of little sort of pinpoints where it was mentioned. But other than that, I mean, I. I love this movie, as I've already said, so it's hard for me to look at things differently, but I see things. Try to see things objectively so I can see both where it's. It's integrated, but it's not. [00:37:00] Speaker C: Yeah, it's. [00:37:01] Speaker B: The trouble with being a movie critic, you got to get analytical about these things, and sometimes your favorite movie ends up getting some hash marks on it that you wish didn't exist, you know? [00:37:10] Speaker C: Yeah, for sure. It's been interesting the last, like, year and a half, actually. Yeah. Watching some movies, you're like, oh, I never noticed that until I started really paying attention. [00:37:18] Speaker A: Right. [00:37:19] Speaker C: But there you are. I think they did weave it in fairly well. There are many mentions over the course of the movie about, like, you know, when he invites the parent, the baroness, and Uncle Max. Max over where, you know, Uncle Max is kind of falling in line a little bit and trying to convince him he's supposed to. He's like, absolutely not. I will not do it. The Ralph character, who is, you know, delivering mail and. And clearly the captain does not want that mail showing up at his house, doesn't want Ralph showing up at his house. Like, it's not like they just throw it in at the very end, but obviously it gets much stronger later on in the movie, probably because, you know, the. The romance is dealt with. Right. Like, we. They did get together. That. That's. It's not over, obviously, but you Know what I mean? The. Yeah, the interesting part of the relationship is over now. They can focus on fleeing the country and the Nazis coming in and all that stuff, but it wasn't out of left field. Like, they did build up to that a little bit. You're right. They were like little. One line drops here and there, but enough that you knew what timeline you. And you knew what was going on, like, especially if you know your history, what's happening in Austria around that time. So it didn't. It didn't bother me whatsoever. I thought they did a pretty decent job of weaving it together. What about you, Will? [00:38:32] Speaker A: I mean, I. I don't know. I think they. Yeah, they earmarked it along the way, so it's not a huge surprise that this is where the story's going. My question is, did it need to go there? Were we really concerned in this story about him being taken and captured by the Nazis and working for them and. And. And tearing this family apart, or were we just happy that they got together like most musicals and that. And that's the difference, right? Like, most musicals end at the marriage, happy ever after. And then this movie goes on for another 45 minutes of like, oh, now can they stay together or are they gonna get ripped apart? So it was an interesting take. I just don't know if it was necessary or in an ideal world, could they have weaved it a little bit more harmoniously? That's a singing term, right? [00:39:30] Speaker B: I'm kind of on the same page as Will. I felt like it. Like one plot kind of ended and the other one went on a little further. And that's okay. It didn't bother me because like you said, Dan, they. They dropped enough points and hints and stuff. It was. It was alluded to. It wasn't. It wasn't weird or anything. I just think that it would have been a little bit better had she left for the nunnery and he been taken away by the Nazis. And you're like, oh, my goodness, there's no way they could ever come back together. And then somehow they bring them all together to triumph at the end and both stories resolve simultaneously. That's a little bit more today's movie plots. Of course, today's movie plots aren't even that cool, but they do try to make a climax, all the things at the same time. And that's just what I'm used to, I guess. And so it was a little weird to see one thing happen and conclude and then the other thing happen and conclude. It's just a Little different. Again, these are choices. They're not necessarily right or wrong, they're just different. And it kind of showcases the time that this film was made and what was going on. I did like that they had both plot themes going on. I don't want them to drop either one or. Or upstage one or the other. I just maybe thought that there was a different way you could approach making the movie finalized. [00:40:48] Speaker A: And it is based on the true story. Right. Like, they did become this musical family and then they did escape from, you know. [00:40:55] Speaker B: Yeah. So that's a little more accurate. [00:40:57] Speaker A: So it is somewhat accurate. But again, that timeline is wishy washy in the movie and the plot as well. [00:41:04] Speaker C: And realistically, I'm not saying I want this movie to be even longer than it was, but like, realistically, you could continue on and have like the singing von traps in, you know, America or wherever it is they ended up. And like, now you've got the stage play and how's that going? Like, you have to have an ending somewhere. And I think the. You're saying they took a train to Italy movie has them like running over the hills. Like, it just. It bookends it nicely. [00:41:27] Speaker D: Right? [00:41:27] Speaker C: It starts in the hills. [00:41:29] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. [00:41:30] Speaker C: It kind of just wraps it up nicely. I didn't have an issue with it. I did think it was interesting that the Disney plus version, where you can pause it at any time, had a 10 minute intermission in the movie that was a little bit weird where like, oh, this is just going to keep going. And there wasn't even like a timer to be like, return to your seat at this time. It's just intermission and you just kind of have to guess when it's going to end. Do we have time to go get popcorn? What's happening right now? I don't understand. [00:41:56] Speaker A: That's just old movies, though. [00:41:57] Speaker B: They. [00:41:57] Speaker A: No, I know, but intermissions. [00:42:00] Speaker C: It's weird. It's interesting that they kept it because in the. I just read, like in the 1995 VHS release, they were able to get it all on one VHS by getting rid of the. I don't know the French word. But the opening and then the intermission. [00:42:12] Speaker A: Right. [00:42:12] Speaker C: So they can fit it all in one. I'm like, why didn't they take that copy for Disney plus? [00:42:16] Speaker B: I guess for authenticity or authenticity. [00:42:19] Speaker C: But like, I don't know, even if, like, because like, Netflix gives you that, like, skip the intro button that pops up whenever the music of a move of a television show pops up. Even give me that for the intermission just like skip intermission, like. [00:42:34] Speaker A: But hey, we utilized it, you know, we, we had a break. So you know what, I'm not complaining. [00:42:40] Speaker C: Yeah. But again, would have been nice if it had been like, you know, two minutes counting down or something. Like, give me. How much time do I have to run to the washroom? [00:42:47] Speaker B: Years. [00:42:47] Speaker A: So, so Millennial man. Swipe away to the next thing. Whatever. [00:42:52] Speaker C: Life is short, man. Life is short. We're already watching a three hour movie. Yeah, but. So this is the minorist of complaints. And it's, it's not even a complaint. Just like a funny observation that I had at the very end when the Von Traps are performing at the festival and they get, you know, they win first place. Spoilers for a 60 something year old movie. Why did they try so hard? Why did they try to win? Because the Nazis knew that they weren't there. Because they didn't come up to grab their award. If they didn't place, they would have had that much more of a head start to get away. [00:43:30] Speaker A: Right. [00:43:30] Speaker C: It was just one of those weird, [00:43:31] Speaker A: like, have you met the family, Dan? [00:43:33] Speaker C: Yeah, exactly. All overachievers. [00:43:36] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:43:36] Speaker A: They're not, they're not gonna just let it go. [00:43:39] Speaker B: Also, you, you know, third place and second place both went up to get their award and had a hard time being ushered off the stage. So had they come in third, they would have been notified that much sooner. [00:43:49] Speaker C: No, my point is like get seventh. [00:43:52] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:43:52] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:43:53] Speaker C: Like, like don't place. But it was just one of those weird little like, why would you. Sure, go for it. Do your best. [00:44:00] Speaker B: I just thought they were that way, Dan. [00:44:02] Speaker C: Oh, absolutely, absolutely. [00:44:04] Speaker A: Come out a couple of times, back and forth. [00:44:06] Speaker D: Where are they? [00:44:08] Speaker B: I actually really enjoyed the scene when they, they come back out there and they're, they're on the stage and it looks like they are surrounded by Nazi soldiers. It looks like they are absolutely. Just, just. It's them versus all of the Nazis, right? You got Nazis up in the windows in the front row. You're seeing swastikas left and right and it's scary. And he brings in that Edelweiss song and he gets all of Austria to sing with him. And suddenly the tables turn and you realize there are so many Austrian voices in the audience. And now suddenly all those Nazis, they look really small in the front row. You don't see them in the windows anymore. They kind of change the perspective. And you realize like the power of music has just shown the strength of this country and the feebleness of the Nazis trying to occupy it. It was kind of this. This neat moment for me watching, just going, wow, they. They really did a great job of showcasing that moment with music and the change of the atmosphere in that auditorium. Absolutely love that closer. [00:45:13] Speaker C: That was such a phenomenal point that I'm promising you that's going to be a short by the end of the weekend. Well done. Well done, Brian. [00:45:21] Speaker A: The only other thing is this is like an honorary Christmas movie at this point point. ABC has been airing this in December since 2002. I think that kind of goes to show that this thing has some staying power. Not only, you know, it was made in 65, but in 2002, they started broadcasting every year, and people are. Are tuning in every year to watch it. Otherwise, they have no reason to keep playing it. So a lot of people do watch this over their Christmas break. You know, it's such. Such a wholesome story, and I think that's very interesting because not every movie could do that. [00:46:01] Speaker C: If you like what we do and you want to help support us, consider joining our Patreon. There's a link down below. Shout out to our producers, including Ms. Hillary, who joined us today, our executive producers, Real Bubba, Hotep and Dino, and our head writer, Elder JM990, who actually chose the Sound of Music for us to watch. Thank you all so much for everybody watching for the first time. When we do have a special guest on, we will get our guest to give their score, but it does not affect the poster score. Now, this is the Patreon pick poster. It's not a regular poster, but regardless, I do want to hear what Hillary says. But we do keep the. The overall score, just the three of us. [00:46:39] Speaker D: All right, So I think overall, I'm gonna give this movie probably I'm gonna go high and say but an 87. And the reason I say that, obviously, as I've mentioned, there's very big sentimental moments for me, and I think that's across the board for a lot of generations, especially that older generation that shared that moment with their families and, you know, children, grandchildren. I think it's such a timeless movie. The message is beautiful. All of it just. [00:47:18] Speaker C: It. [00:47:19] Speaker D: It's this beautiful little package, white, little, you know, brown paper packaging tied up with string. And it's such a beautiful movie, and it's. It doesn't matter. You don't even have to watch it at Christmas. You can watch it anytime. And it's such a beautiful movie, and it's so well done and such a beautiful message. Message of the movie, I think, in the grand scheme of things. So 87 for me. [00:47:46] Speaker B: So I'm gonna invert Hillary's score and go 78 on this one. You know, I'm not a big fan of musicals. I've seen a couple, I like a couple. It's just not something to really go for. But I just had so much fun watching this film and was so surprised going into it, thinking it was going to be three hours long. And I ended up showing up one hour after it already started. So it was only a two hour movie for me for that viewing. But then when I was finished, I was, like, sad because I missed out on an hour of it. So it was. It was a very enjoyable film. And I think just discussing it with you guys has really helped me to kind of figure out where I stand on a lot of the different points on this one. And I think, especially for the time that it was made, it's an absolute masterpiece. It holds up really well even to today's standards. There are some choices that they made in the film which aren't necessarily wrong, but I just didn't really agree with. But I had a ton of fun with this and the, the sound and the music of the Sound of this music just really carries this movie for me and made it super enjoyable experience. And I wish that I could watch all of our movies in, in our watch parties because our little sing along there was fantastic fun. [00:49:02] Speaker A: So. [00:49:03] Speaker C: All right, so we've talked about the watch party a couple of times, and I'm going to do it a little bit more. Unfortunately, during the watch party, there was a moment where Ms. Hilly was like, oh, this is my favorite part. Or I really like this part or something. And Will was like, what part do you not like? And she's like, yeah, that's a fair point. Like, I really do enjoy all of this. And that made me think, like, I hadn't seen this movie in a long time. It was not one that I was necessarily like raving to go back to. But watching it, I was like, this is a really good scene. This is a really good scene. This is a really good scene. As we kept going. And then Brian joined us a little bit later. And when he came in, he's like, I've never seen this before, but I know all of this music. And I was kind of like, that's a great point too. Like, the, this movie, the music of this transcends it to some extent, right? Like, even if you've never seen it, you know everything in this one, it is A shockingly fun watch. It flows so nicely. The plot is amazing. The cinematography. I didn't have the problems Brian had with it. I was just looking at the backgrounds, the scenery, whether it be the house or the mountains, everything. The choreography was incredible. The performances. Yeah, there was a couple of. Of lines that were a little off, but as far as the songs go, they were dead on. And that's kind of why I was here. I don't have very much to pick apart with this movie. I think it's incredible. I don't think it's one that I go back to very often because it is three hours long. It is a bit older. But like I watched this with my family, my kids, my grandmother. Everyone was engaged with this. This is the definition of a four quadrant movie. All age groups were enjoying it. Everybody was enjoying it. I give this an 89. It's pretty high, but honestly, I can't think of anything to pick apart. This movie is 60 years old. As we mentioned, it's played every Christmas. They've never tried to remake it. Sometimes when you nail it on the first try, you just don't have to do it a second time. [00:50:46] Speaker A: All right. Yeah. What's not. What's left to be said? I think there's a reason this movie won best Picture Oscar in 1965 when it came out. There's a reason why the musical was such a hit when it came out. Prior to. There's a reason why I learned my Do Re Mi's in grade school prior to knowing what this movie ever was is because it's such good music. It's such a good movie. [00:51:15] Speaker B: It. [00:51:15] Speaker A: It has lasting power. It holds up and it will continue to hold up. I. I did a quick Google search off air here. Well, while everybody else was ranking. Not to throw Dan under the bus or anything, but he's like, I think it's public domain. That's why they watch it. This thing doesn't come out of public domain until like 2060. For some reason. It's got like a 90 year thing on it. So no, they have to pay for the rights for this bad boy. This thing makes money. There's a reason it's still produced today on stage. It's just a classic musical. Yeah, that's. I think all I have to say about that. It's catchy. Go watch it. If you haven't seen it, give it a chance. 84 out of 100 for me. I'm not a huge musical guy. If I could sing, maybe I'd enjoy it more. But I had fun. [00:52:04] Speaker C: And with that, we have the Sound of Music coming in at second place on our Patreon pickboard. You were mentioning earlier the dis, the diversity in the picks we've got so far, going from heavily dramatic City of God to a musical, to a sci fi to comedies. Like, Patreon's picking some good, interesting movies for us, and I'm kind of here for it. This one came in pretty much exactly where I thought it would undercity of God, but still very high up. What do you guys think? You pretty happy with that rating? [00:52:33] Speaker A: I can't be upset with this rating. That's the rating I gave. [00:52:35] Speaker C: The exact one you gave it? [00:52:36] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I. I would rather watch Moon. I think Obviously my score, 70 82. I would rather watch Moon than the Sound of Music. But I. I'm okay with this. I can. I can settle with this. [00:52:53] Speaker C: I think I'd rather watch Moon one more time. I've already seen it twice. That'd be like the third. And then I feel like there's a point where I'm like, I get it. Whereas I feel like I could watch Sound of Music every, like, other year at Christmas. [00:53:03] Speaker B: Yeah. If I had to have something playing in the background of my house, it'd be the Sound of Music rather than Moon over and over. [00:53:10] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:53:11] Speaker C: So I'm good with that. [00:53:12] Speaker A: Yeah, I like it. I like the movie. Thank you again. It was awesome. And thank you, Mrs. Hillary, for joining us. [00:53:18] Speaker D: Thank you for having me. This is a lot of fun. [00:53:21] Speaker C: All right, that is our rating of the Sound of Music. Again, this is a Patreon pick, so it doesn't have to be part of a franchise. So it does kind of break our regular rules. But I had a good time watching it, had a good time recording it, and we did the watch party with a bunch of patrons, so that was a lot of fun, too.
